CALL FOR PAPERS

DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM OF THE SPANISH SOCIETY FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (SEPLN 2017)

September 20-22, 2017 - University of Murcia (Spain)
Extended deadline for proposals: June 30, 2017

The Doctoral Symposium intends to provide a venue for student researchers in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their work. Students will receive feedback and mentorship from an experienced researcher in the field based on the topic of their submission.

All PhD students are invited to submit short papers (4 pages) describing their thesis projects. The paper must be signed by a single author (doctoral candidate) and must follow the SEPLN format. The article submitted will be the basis for the detailed discussions in the Symposium. In order to initiate discussion, the document should include:

  • Rationale for the proposed research
  • Background and related work (including important references)
  • Description of the proposed research, including the main hypotheses for research
  • Methodology and the proposed experiments (if necessary)
  • Specific issues of research to be discussed.

Papers for the Doctoral Symposium will be selected according to their quality and potential impact on future research within the field of Natural Language Processing. The selected works will not be published in the SEPLN journal, but they will be included in an electronic version of the conference proceedings. Therefore, PhD students could send an extended version of their research in order to be considered for the main conference.

In order to to support the participation of PhD students in this Doctoral Symposium, they will be offered several Registration Grants by PLN.NET (Planet).
