CALL FOR PAPERS Student Session at the 29th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics 18-21 June 1991 University of California Berkeley, California USA PURPOSE: The goal of this session is to provide a forum in which graduate student members can present WORK IN PROGRESS and receive feedback from other members of the computational linguistics community, particularly senior researchers. The session(s) will be workshop-style, consisting of short paper presentations and discussion. Note that having a student session for the presentation of ongoing work in NO way influences the treatment of student-written papers submitted to the main conference. Rather, the student session will provide an entirely separate track emphasizing students' work in progress rather than completed work. REQUIREMENTS: Papers should describe original, unpublished work in progress that demonstrates INSIGHT, CREATIVITY, and PROMISE. Topics of interest are the same as for the main conference. Authors must have ACL Student Membership at the time of the conference. For membership information contact Don Walker at the address below. Because of differences in FOCUS (complete results vs. work in progress) and SUBMISSION FORMAT, papers submitted to the main conference can not be considered for the student session. Students may of course submit papers to both. FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION: Authors should submit four copies of an extended abstract 2 pages long (including title, authors, references, etc). Chosen abstracts will be printed in the conference proceedings directly from the submissions. Submissions therefore should be final camera-ready copy (preferably laser-printer output), laid out in the conventional double-column conference format. In addition, a SEPARATE ``topic area'' page should include the title, name(s) of the author(s), complete addresses (including e-mail), and one or two keywords indicating the topic area.
