Call for Papers

MCLC offers a less formal forum for computational linguistics researchers to get together and present ideas and research results. It is intended to be primarily for researchers from the Midwest region, but applications from all regions are welcome. We particularly welcome work in progress from graduate students and other young researchers. The first meeting of MCLC was successfully held at Indiana University, Bloomington in 2004, and we're pleased to bring it back to Indiana.

Submission Guidelines

  • Researchers should prepare a 2-page, extended abstract using the ACL style files.
  • The abstract should be anonymous.
  • Abstracts should be emailed to mclc09@indiana.edu no later than March 27, 2009. The abstract should be in .pdf format.

Each abstract will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. The major criteria of evaluation will be the originality, soundness, and clarity of the research idea presented and the relevance of the topic to the colloquium.

Registration

Registration will be free.
