    The Association for Computational Linguistics invites the submission
    of papers for its 43rd Annual Meeting hosted jointly with the North
    American Chapter of the ACL. Papers are invited on substantial,
    original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational
    linguistics, including, but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse,
    semantics, syntax, grammars and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology and
    morphology; lexical semantics and ontologies; word segmentation,
    tagging and chunking; parsing, generation and summarization; language
    modeling, spoken language recognition and understanding; linguistic,
    psychological and mathematical models of language; language-oriented
    information retrieval, question answering, and information extraction;
    machine learning for natural language; corpus-based modeling of
    language, discourse and dialogue; multi-lingual processing, machine
    translation and translation aids; multi-modal and natural language
    interfaces and dialogue systems; applications, tools and resources;
    and evaluation of systems.

    Requirements
    ------------

    Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed
    work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state
    of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete
    evaluation results should be included. Submissions will be judged on
    correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and
    relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees.

    A paper accepted for presentation at the ACL Meeting, including
    ACL-related workshops and conferences, cannot be presented or have
    been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published
    proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or
    workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that
    contain significant overlap with previously published work.

    Reviewing
    ---------

    The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed
    by an international Conference Program Committee consisting of Area
    Chairs and associated Program Committee Members. Final decisions on
    the technical program will be made by a meeting of the Program
    Co-Chairs and Area Chairs. Each submission will be reviewed by at
    least three program committee members.

    The area chairs for ACL-05 are:

    Michael Collins (MIT, USA)
    Marti Hearst (UC Berkeley, USA)
    Hang Li (Microsoft Research Asia, China)
    Chin-Yew Lin (USC/Information Sciences Institute, USA)
    Yuji Matsumoto (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan)
    Diana McCarthy (University of Sussex, UK)
    Hermann Ney (RWTH Aachen, Germany)
    Gerald Penn (University of Toronto, Canada)
    Brian Roark (Oregon Health & Science University, USA)
    Michael Strube (EML Research, Germany)

    Submission Information
    ----------------------

    Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
    should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly
    recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style
    files tailored for this year's conference. They are available at
    http://www.aclweb.org/acl2005/styles/. A description of the format is
    also available in case you are unable to use these style files
    directly. Papers must conform to the official ACL-05 style guidelines,
    and we reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform to
    these styles including font size restrictions.

    As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors'
    names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the
    author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...",
    should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously
    showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to these
    requirements will be rejected without review.

    Submission will be electronic using the paper submission software
    available at http://www.softconf.com/start/ACL05/submit.html. The
    only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. The papers
    must be submitted no later than 5pm US Eastern time January 14, 2005
    (10pm GMT January 14, 2005). Papers submitted after that time will not
    be reviewed. Please consult the submission webpage for details of the
    submission procedure. Questions regarding the submission procedure
    should be directed to the Program Co-Chairs (nght AT comp DOT nus DOT
    edu DOT sg or oflazer AT sabanciuniv DOT edu).

    Deadlines
    ---------

    Paper submission deadline: January 14, 2005
    Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2005
    Camera ready papers due: May 2, 2005

    Mentoring Service
    -----------------

    ACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from
    regions of the world where English is not the language of scientific
    exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the
    scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in
    writing papers in English for conferences such as the ACL
    meetings. The service will be arranged as follows. A set of potential
    mentors will be identified by Richard Power, who has agreed to
    organize this service for ACL-05. If you would like to take advantage
    of the service, send a draft of your paper to:

    Richard Power
    Information Technology Research Institute
    University of Brighton
    Watts Building
    Lewes Road
    Brighton BN24GJ
    UK
    +44 1273 642904 (office)
    +44 1273 642908 (fax)
    Email: Richard.Power@itri.brighton.ac.uk

    To take advantage of this service, send the paper electronically to
    the above email address, using pdf, ps or doc format. Alternatively,
    hard copy can be sent to the postal address. The paper should arrive
    before December 14, 2004. An appropriate mentor will be assigned to
    your paper and the mentor will get back to you by January 7, 2005, at
    least seven days before the deadline for the submission to ACL-05
    program committee. Please note that this service is for the benefit of
    the authors as described above. It is not a general mentoring service
    for authors to improve their papers.

    If you have any questions about this service please feel free to send
    a message to Richard Power.

    Conference Venue
    ----------------

    The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is one of the largest, most
    diverse, and most prestigious centers of learning in the United
    States. Ann Arbor is easy to reach by air, rail, or highway. An
    Amtrak station is located less than two miles from the University of
    Michigan, and Detroit Metropolitan Airport is a brief 30-minute
    drive. The conference meetings will be held at the Michigan League on
    Central Campus. A conveniently located email/internet room will be
    provided to participants. Lodging will be in local hotels and
    dormitories.
