EACL 2023 Student Research Workshop First Call for Papers
View on the web at https://sites.google.com/view/eacl2023srw/call-for-papers Main Conference: May 2-6, 2023 Paper Submission Deadline: December 16, 2022
==============
## General Rules for Submission
The EACL 2023 Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a forum for student researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity for student participants to present their work and receive valuable feedback from the international research community. The workshop’s goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their education: including undergraduate, masters, junior, and senior PhD students.
We invite papers in two different categories:
Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for PhD students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and ideas about future directions for their work.
Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or work-in-progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author MUST BE a current graduate or undergraduate student. We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students, as well as Masters or advanced undergraduate students. Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as for the main conference (https://2023.eacl.org/calls/papers/).
Please see the submission guidelines page for more information at https://sites.google.com/view/eacl2023srw/submission-guidelines.

## Pre-submission mentoring program
The goal is to improve the presentation of the student’s work, not to critique the work itself. Participants will be assigned a mentor that they will be able to contact regarding their submission. Participation is optional but encouraged. Students wishing to participate must fill this form by November 14, 2022: https://forms.gle/EufnYHsTAqcoeN6Z7
You CAN submit a paper to the main deadline, even if you did not participate in pre-submission mentoring.
## Benefits of participation
All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented in the main conference poster session, giving students an opportunity to interact with and present their work to a large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned mentors.
Submissions (in both categories) may either be archival or non-archival, based on the wishes of the authors. All archival papers will be published in the EACL 2023 SRW Proceedings. All non-archival papers may be submitted to any venue in the future except another SRW.
Each willing participant is also assigned a mentor - an experienced researcher - who can provide valuable advice on the submission during the pre-submission period and mentoring during the conference.

## Important Dates
Pre-submission mentoring deadline: November 14, 2022 Paper submission deadline: December 16, 2022 Acceptance notification: February 24, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: March 17, 2023 EACL conference dates: May 2-6, 2023
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”).
==============
## Submission Requirements
We accept both archival submissions (i.e., the work can be included in the conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (the work will be presented in the workshop, but will not be part of the proceedings).
The “archival” submissions should follow the anonymity period and restrictions of the main conference as appears in https://2023.eacl.org/calls/papers/.
Papers can be submitted as short or long papers. Short papers consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, they will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. Long papers consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, they will be given nine (9) content pages in the proceedings. Thesis proposals consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, they will be given nine (9) content pages in the proceedings. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewers’ comments in their final versions.
Paper submissions must use the official EACL 2023 style templates. All submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in these template files. The review process is blind; hence, all submissions must be anonymized.
The SRW invites papers on topics related to computational linguistics, including but not limited to: Anaphora, Discourse and Pragmatics Computational Social Science and Social Media Dialogue and Interactive Systems Document analysis, Text Categorization and Topic Models Generation and Summarization Ethical and Sustainable NLP Information Retrieval and Search Information Extraction Interpretability and Model Analysis in NLP Language Resources and Evaluation Language Grounding and Multi-Modality Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics Machine Learning in NLP Machine Translation Multilinguality Multidisciplinary and NLP Applications Question Answering Semantics: lexical Semantics: sentence level and other areas Sentiment Analysis and Argument Mining Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation Tagging, Chunking, Syntax, and Parsing
