Invited speaker

Prof. Richard Sproat (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is our invited guest and we are looking forward to his interesting talk at the MorphoChallenge workshop.

Camera-ready submission

The final camera-ready submissions use a different format than the papers submitted for review. We are sorry about the inconvenience of your having to reformat your documents. For your final paper submission (due March 17th), please use the two-column ACL/COLING format (figures and tables may still span the whole width of a page). Detailed formatting instructions can be found here: PDF or PS. You need the following files: Latex style file, Latex bibliography file, and a template Latex document. Note: Disregard the instructions given in the ACL/COLING files about the length of the publications. The maximum length of your paper is 6 pages (including references and figures). Email your final paper to the organizers.
