EMNLP 2016 - 2016 SIGDAT conference on Empirical Methods for Natural Language Processing

EMNLP 2016 is the SIGDAT conference on Empirical Methods for Natural Language Processing. It will be held in Austin, Texas in September 2016. The dates for the EMNLP workshops are still not definitive.
Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the Workshop Co-Chairs of the three conferences.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Proposals for workshops should contain:
- A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content.
- The desired workshop length (one or two days) and an estimate of the number of attendees.
- The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.
- A list of Programme Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. It is highly desirable for proposals to have at least 75% of the Programme Committee reviewers confirmed at the time of the submission. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 2 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews. Submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers within one week of notification (see Timelines).
- A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.
- A description of special requirements for technical needs.
- A note specifying which venue(s) (NAACL/ACL/EMNLP) would be acceptable and/or preferable.
