Call for papers (sent 2017-05-18 0:42 CET)

Dear CoNLL 2017 Universal Dependencies Shared Task participants,

congratulations again to successfully finishing the UD Shared Task!

It is now time to describe your systems and submit the system description papers for presentation at the UD Shared Task track at CoNLL 2017. Information about paper format, submission procedure and everything else you need to write and submit your system description paper is now available at the CoNLL 2017 Universal Dependencies Shared Task website here:

http://universaldependencies.org/conll17/submissions.html

There are certain special requirements on what to include in the papers - please read the instructions carefully. Also, the deadlines are very tight - please start soon.

We would also like to ask you to fill in a Google Form which will help us to write the overview paper - please do so at your earliest convenience here:

In addition, we would like to ask you to help with reviewing. Please nominate (at least) one member of your team who will review the submitted papers (review period is May 26 - June 2). Please send the name, email and “START” name (if you have one) of the reviewer to me so that I can register her/him in the Shared Task START submission system. Let me stress that the reviewing of the system description papers is really to help authors keep high publication standards - it is not about paper selection.

I would like to ask colleagues from the core and support groups to also help with reviewing; please send me your name, email and “START” name (if you have one). With your help, we should be able to assign at most 2 papers to each reviewer.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you!

With best regards,

Jan Hajic on behalf of the costocom :) (connl shared task organizing committee) http://universaldependencies.org/conll17/
