*Important Dates*
- Paper Submissions Due: April 26, 2019 (23:59 PST) - Notification of Acceptance: May 24, 2019 - Camera-ready Paper Due: June 3, 2019 - Workshop Date: August 2, 2019
*Submissions*
We welcome submissions in three distinct categories: regular workshop papers, cross-submissions and extended abstracts. There will be no archival proceedings. Submissions should be made to: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/NLP4CONVAI2019.
*Regular Workshop Papers*
Authors should submit a paper of up to 4-8 pages long, with unlimited space for references and supplementary material. All submissions should follow the ACL 2019 style and formatting guidelines ( http://www.acl2019.org/EN/call-for-papers.xhtml). The papers should present novel research. Reviewing will be double-blind, so please do not include any self-identifying information in the submission.
*Extended Abstracts*
Preliminary but interesting ideas that have not been published before may be submitted as extended abstracts. These should be up to 2 pages long and would benefit from additional exposure and discussion but are currently not ready for publication. Reviewing will be double-blind, so please do not include any self-identifying information in the submission.
*Cross-submissions*
In addition to previously unpublished work, we invite papers on relevant topics which have appeared in alternative venues (such as other NLP or ML conferences). Accepted cross-submissions will be presented as posters, with an indication of the original venue. Selection of cross-submissions will be determined solely by the organizing committee.
*Best Paper Prizes and Student Travel Grants*
We are aiming to provide best paper prizes and student travel grants with the exact number and amount of support to be decided.
*Contact*
Please contact Yun-Nung Chen [y.v.chen at ieee.org] or Tsung-Hsien Wen [ shawnwen at poly-ai.com] if you have any questions regarding the paper submission.
