We want to bring the best of NLP to our SwissText audience! Therefore, we are introducing the Highlights Track, where we are looking for published work that is interesting to the Swiss community. This means you can present your own already published work, or you can recap and discuss an exciting talk or paper you have seen recently (e.g. at one of the top-level conferences such as ACL, EMNLP etc.). Our goal with this track is to disseminate new and thought-provoking ideas, so please state in your abstract what it is you want to bring across and why it is interesting.

Submission format:

• • Short abstract of your highlight presentation (up to 1500 characters): reference to the paper/talk that is basis for your presentation; why is it interesting to the SwissText community; what are the main points you want to share with the audience?
  • CV of the presenter (text format, no tables — max. 500 characters)
  • Please submit online via EasyChair

Presentation mode:

• • Oral presentation

This year SwissText will host a new Junior Track aimed at Swiss-based students who are doing research in NLP-related fields. We invite contributions in the form of short papers (max 4 pages), describing ongoing or finished work, relevant to the NLP field. A condition is that the first author must be a student registered at a Swiss academic institution.

The papers should be submitted online via EasyChair (please select “junior track“).

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swisstext2022

Please use the ACL formatting guidelines for your paper. You can find templates here:

https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files/tree/master

It is expected that the first author (or another student author of the same paper) will present the paper at SwissText 2022. We reserve the right to convert some of the presentations to poster format should we deem it adequate.

Notice that the paper should be submitted in anonymous format. The authors are expected to provide their information, including a brief CV of the expected presenter, through the easychair submission template. This information will not be visible to the reviewers.

Several senior researchers in the NLP field in Switzerland have expressed their support for the initiative, and will be members of the programme committee. They will provide extensive reviews to the students to help them improve their paper writing skills. The accepted papers will be published in CEUR.

Submission Format:

• • Please use the ACL LaTeX template
  • Language: English
  • Manuscripts for short papers (max 4 pages) must describe describing ongoing or finished work, relevant to the NLP field. The first author must be a student registered at a Swiss academic institution. 
  • Anonymization: The review process will be double blind; we ask authors to anonymize their submission reasonably. Instead of e.g. “We previously showed (Smith, 1991) …” write “Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) …”
  • CV of the presenter (text format, no tables — max. 500 characters)
  • Submission will be made through EasyChair

Presentation Mode:

• • Talk or poster

For accepted presentations in the Applied and Highlights Tracks, the abstract will be included in the proceedings. Accepted papers in the Junior Track will be published in the conference proceedings. There is no differentiation between oral or poster presentations in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published on CEUR-WS.org (open access). To appear in the proceedings, each contribution has to be presented by at least one author at the conference.

Accepted submissions in the Applied Track and the Junior Track will be presented orally or as posters, as determined by the program committee. All accepted submissions in the Highlights track will be presented orally. All accepted Demos will be presented live during the demo exhibition at the conference.

Presentations are in English and will be listed in the conference program.

All data is entered online via EasyChair.
