SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics' special interest
group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP, is pleased to
announce that EMNLP 2016 will be held on November 1?5, 2016, in Austin,
Texas, USA. The conference includes three days of paper presentations and
invited talks, plus two days consisting of eight workshops and six
tutorials. We are excited to announce our invited speakers: Christopher
Potts (Stanford University), Andreas Stolcke (Microsoft Research), and
Stefanie Tellex (Brown University).

The conference program includes long and short papers related to empirical
methods in natural language processing. Accepted papers will be presented
as oral talks or posters. As in recent years, the conference will also
include presentations of selected papers accepted by the Transactions of
the ACL (http://www.transacl.org/).

This year, EMNLP is collocated with AMTA 2016, hosted by the
Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, held from October 28
to November 1. Also in Austin, HCOMP 2016, the 4th AAAI Conference on Human
Computation and Crowdsourcing, will be held from October 30 to November 3.

We invite you to join us!
