We are pleased to announce that the 6th NLPCC student workshop (SW) will be held in Qingdao, Shandong, 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 submissions in English. The length of each submission should be within 6~8 pages, including references. Submissions should follow the LNCS formatting instructions; The submissions must therefore be formatted in accordance with the standard Springer style sheets ([LaTeX][Microsoft Word]). All papers accepted by the student workshop will be published in a combined volume of the NLPCC 2021 Proceedings series.
Submissions must conform to the specifications of NLPCC 2021 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/nlpcc/SWS-2021.
