We are pleased to announce that the 3rd NLPCC student workshop (SW) will be held in Inner Mongolia Xincheng Hotel, Hohhot, in conjunction with the NLPCC main conference. The SW aims to provide opportunities for students to present their work and to communicate with experienced researchers. The SW will continue the successful experience of the last student workshop.

In order to provide opportunities for students to present their work and to communicate with experienced researchers, we plan to organize the following academic activities:

First, each accepted paper will be assigned one mentor to help authors polish their final versions.

Second, we will invite distinguished young scholars and students to share their successful experiences of performing research and writing papers. For the invited scholars and students, we will offer their travel grants and conference registration fees.

Third, in order to provide more opportunities for students to socialize and study, we will arrange a lunch meeting with well-established scholars. Each participant has an opportunity to freely communicate and discuss with the famous scholars to learn their successful experiences.

We would like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. Topics of interest for the SW are the same as those for the main conference.

The SW solicits research papers that describe original work or work in progress with preliminary results. The first author of multi-author papers MUST be a student, though it is not required that all co-authors be students.

The SW receives Chinese and English submissions. The length of each submission should be within 6~8 pages, including references. English Submissions should follow the standard Springer style format. All papers accepted by the student workshop will be published in a combined volume of the NLPCC 2018 Proceedings series. Selected excellent papers will be recommended to be published at ACTA Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis (EI Index、Scopus Index, Chinese Core Journal) (for Chinese papers) or Springer LNAI series (for English papers), further revisions maybe required to meet their standard.

Submissions must conform to the specifications of NLPCC 2018 call for papers regarding multiple submissions and preparing papers for the double-blind review process. Papers which do not conform to these specifications will be rejected without review.

To submit a paper, please use the paper submission web page: https://www.softconf.com/NLPCC2018/SWS.

NLPCC 2018将组织第三届学生研讨会（SW），研讨会将和主会一起在呼和浩特内蒙古新城宾馆召开。学生研讨会旨在打造一个自然语言处理领域的学生展示自己工作并与经验丰富的科研人员交流的平台。本届研讨会将延续上届学生研讨会的成功经验，为了更好地促进交流与展示，将举办以下学术交流活动：

1. 每一位文章录用的学生作者将会匹配一名指导老师协助后续论文修改工作；

2. 优秀青年学者和学生科研经验分享：我们将邀请多名知名青年学者和优秀同学在研讨会上分享做研究、写论文、参加国际会议交流的经验。对邀请的青年学者和同学，我们将提供其旅费和会议注册费。

3. 与资深NLP专家、学者共进午餐：每个参会学生均有机会与NLP学术和产业界资深专家、学者共进午餐的机会，享有与知名学者深入交流、讨论和学习的机会。

我们诚邀学生研究者将自己的研究工作投稿到学生研讨会中。SW征集论文的主题与NLPCC主会议相同。内容列表请参阅主会征文通知。

SW征集的论文包括已完成的原创性工作和已有初步结果的工作。如论文有多个作者，则学生必须为第一作者，但不强制要求所有作者均为学生。
