LOCATION


The city of Plze�� (Pilsen) is situated in Western Bohemia at the
confluence of four rivers. With its 170,000 inhabitants it is the fourth
largest city in the Czech Republic and an important industrial,
commercial, and administrative centre. It is also the capital of the
Pilsen Region. In addition, Pilsen won the title of the European Capital
of Culture for the upcoming year 2015.


Pilsen is well-known for its brewing tradition. The trademark
Pilsner-Urquell has a good reputation all over the world thanks to the
traditional recipe, high quality hops and good groundwater. Beer lovers
will also appreciate a visit to the Brewery Museum or the Brewery itself.


Apart from its delicious beer, Pilsen hides lots of treasures in its core.
The city can boast the second largest synagogue in Europe. The dominant of
the old part of the city center is definitely the 13th-century Gothic
cathedral featuring the highest church tower in Bohemia (102.34 m). It is
possible to go up and admire the view of the city. Not far from the
cathedral is the splendid Renaissance Town Hall from 1558 and plenty of
pleasant cafes and pubs are situated on and around the main square.


There is also the beautiful Pilsen Historical Underground - under the city
center, a complex network of passageways and cellars can be found. They
are about 14 km long and visitors can see the most beautiful part of this
labyrinth during the tour. It is recommended to visit the City Zoological
Garden, having the second largest space for bears in Europe and keeping
several Komodo dragons, large lizards which exist only in a few zoos in
the world.


The University of West Bohemia in Pilsen provides a variety of courses for
both Czech and international students. It is the only institution of
higher education in this part of the country which prepares students for
careers in engineering (electrical and mechanical), science (computer
science, applied mathematics, physics, and mechanics), education (both
primary and secondary), economics, philosophy, politics, archeology,
anthropology, foreign languages, law and public administration, art and
design.

NAACL-HLT 2015 Student Research Workshop (SRW)
Call for Papers


Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/site/naaclsrw2015/home/

The SRW workshop will be held in conjunction with NAACL HLT 2015 in Denver,
Colorado.

General Invitation for Submission

The Student Research Workshop provides a venue for student researchers to
present their work in computational linguistics and natural language
processing. Students receive feedback from the general conference audience
as well as from mentors specifically assigned according to the topic of
their work.

We invite papers in three different categories:
1. Thesis Proposals. This category is appropriate for advanced students who
have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal
and broader ideas for their continuing work.
2. Research Papers. Papers in this category can describe completed work, or
work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first
author must be a current graduate student.
3. Special undergraduate track. In order to encourage undergraduate
research, we are offering a special track for research papers where the
first author is an undergraduate student.
Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as NAACL main conference.

Benefits of participation
* All accepted papers will be presented in the main conference poster
session giving students an opportunity to interact with and present their
work to a large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the
field.
* All accepted papers (thesis, research, undergraduate) will be published
in the NAACL 2015 SRW Proceedings.
* Each participant is also assigned a mentor ? an experienced researcher ?
who can provide valuable advice.
* Additional feedback is being planned for thesis proposals, as well as
oral presentations.

Submission Requirements
All research papers should follow the two-column format of the NAACL HLT
2015 proceedings. All papers will have a maximum limit of 6 pages for
content, with additional pages for references.

Submissions must conform to the specifications of NAACL HLT 2015 call for
papers regarding multiple submissions and preparing papers for the
double-blind review process. Papers which do not conform to these
