42 | This document contains the instructions for preparing a camera-ready
|
---|
43 | manuscript for the proceedings of ACL-2013. The document itself
|
---|
44 | conforms to its own specifications, and is therefore an example of
|
---|
45 | what your manuscript should look like. These instructions should be used for both
|
---|
46 | papers submitted for review and for final versions of accepted
|
---|
47 | papers. Authors are asked to conform
|
---|
48 | to all the directions reported in this document.

53 | This document has been adapted from the instructions for earlier ACL proceedings, including those for ACL-2012 by Maggie Li and Michael White, those from ACL-2010 by Jing-Shing Chang and Philipp Koehn, those for ACL-2008 by Johanna D. Moore, Simone Teufel, James Allan, and Sadaoki Furui, those for ACL-2005 by Hwee Tou Ng and Kemal Oflazer, those for ACL-2002 by Eugene Charniak and Dekang Lin, and earlier ACL and EACL formats. Those versions were written by several people, including John Chen, Henry S. Thompson and Donald Walker. Additional elements were taken from the formatting instructions of the {\em International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence}.

55 | \section{Introduction}
|
---|
56 |
|
---|
57 | The following instructions are directed to authors of papers submitted
|
---|
58 | to ACL-2013 or accepted
|
---|
59 | for publication in its proceedings. All authors are required
|
---|
60 | to adhere to these specifications. Authors are required to provide a
|
---|
61 | Portable Document Format (PDF)
|
---|
62 | % das: removed reference to PostScript
|
---|
63 | % and PostScript
|
---|
64 | version of their papers. \textbf{The proceedings will be printed on A4
|
---|
65 | paper}. Authors from countries in which access to word-processing
|
---|
66 | systems is limited should contact the publication chairs Roberto Navigli
|
---|
67 | (\texttt{navigli@di.uniroma1.it}) and Jing-Shin Chang (\texttt{jshin@csie.ncnu.edu.tw}) as soon as possible.
|
---|
68 |
|
---|
69 | \section{General Instructions}
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | Manuscripts must be in two-column format. Exceptions to the
|
---|
72 | two-column format include the title, authors' names and complete
|
---|
73 | addresses, which must be centered at the top of the first page, and
|
---|
74 | any full-width figures or tables (see the guidelines in
|
---|
75 | Subsection~\ref{ssec:first}). {\bf Type single-spaced.} Start all
|
---|
76 | pages directly under the top margin. See the guidelines later
|
---|
77 | regarding formatting the first page. The manuscript should be
|
---|
78 | printed single-sided and its length
|
---|
79 | should not exceed the maximum page limit described in Section~\ref{sec:length}.
|
---|
80 | Do not number the pages.
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | \subsection{Electronically-available resources}
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | ACL 2013 provides this description in \LaTeX2e (acl2013.tex) and PDF
|
---|
85 | format (acl2013.pdf), along with the \LaTeX2e style file used to
|
---|
86 | format it (acl2013.sty) and an ACL bibliography style
|
---|
87 | (acl.bst). These files are all available at
|
---|
88 | \url{http://www.acl2013.org}. A Microsoft Word
|
---|
89 | template file (acl2013.dot) is also available at the same URL. We
|
---|
90 | strongly recommend the use of these style files, which have been
|
---|
91 | appropriately tailored for the ACL 2013 proceedings. If you have an
|
---|
92 | option, we recommend that you use the \LaTeX2e version. \textbf{If you will be
|
---|
93 | using the Microsoft Word template, we suggest that you anonymize your
|
---|
94 | source file so that the pdf produced does not retain your identity.}
|
---|
95 | This can be done by removing any personal information from your source
|
---|
96 | document properties.
|
---|

100 | \subsection{Format of Electronic Manuscript}
|
---|
101 | \label{sect:pdf}
|
---|
102 |
|
---|
103 | For the production of the electronic manuscript you must use Adobe's
|
---|
104 | Portable Document Format (PDF). This format can be generated from
|
---|
105 | postscript files. On Linux/Unix systems, you can use {\tt ps2pdf} for
|
---|
106 | this purpose. In Microsoft Windows, you can use Adobe's Distiller,
|
---|
107 | or if you have \textit{cygwin}
|
---|
108 | installed, you can use \textit{dvipdf} or \textit{ps2pdf}. Note that
|
---|
109 | some word processing programs generate PDF which may not include all
|
---|
110 | the necessary fonts (esp. tree diagrams, symbols). When you print or
|
---|
111 | create the PDF file, there is usually an option in your printer setup
|
---|
112 | to include none, all or just non-standard fonts. Please make sure
|
---|
113 | that you select the option of including ALL the fonts. {\em Before
|
---|
114 | sending it, test your PDF by printing it from a computer different
|
---|
115 | from the one where it was created.} Moreover, some word processors may
|
---|
116 | generate very large postscript/PDF files, where each page is rendered
|
---|
117 | as an image. Such images may reproduce poorly. In this case, try
|
---|
118 | alternative ways to obtain the postscript and/or PDF. One way on some
|
---|
119 | systems is to install a driver for a postscript printer, send your
|
---|
120 | document to the printer specifying ``Output to a file'', then convert
|
---|
121 | the file to PDF.
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | It is of utmost importance to specify the \textbf{A4 format} (21 cm
|
---|
124 | x 29.7 cm) when formatting the paper. When working with
|
---|
125 | {\tt dvips}, for instance, one should specify {\tt -t a4}.
|
---|
126 |
|
---|
127 | Print-outs of the PDF file on A4 paper should be identical to the
|
---|
128 | hardcopy version. If you cannot meet the above requirements about the
|
---|
129 | production of your electronic submission, please contact the
|
---|
130 | publication chairs above as soon as possible.
|
---|
131 |
|
---|
132 |
|
---|
133 | \subsection{Layout}
|
---|
134 | \label{ssec:layout}
|
---|
135 |
|
---|
136 | Format manuscripts two columns to a page, in the manner these
|
---|
137 | instructions are formatted. The exact dimensions for a page on A4
|
---|
138 | paper are:
|
---|
139 |
|
---|
140 | \begin{itemize}
|
---|
141 | \item Left and right margins: 2.5 cm
|
---|
142 | \item Top margin: 2.5 cm
|
---|
143 | \item Bottom margin: 2.5 cm
|
---|
144 | \item Column width: 7.7 cm
|
---|
145 | \item Column height: 24.7 cm
|
---|
146 | \item Gap between columns: 0.6 cm
|
---|
147 | \end{itemize}
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | \noindent Papers should not be submitted on any other paper size.
|
---|
150 | If you cannot meet the above requirements about the production of your electronic submission, please contact the publication chairs above as soon as possible.

153 | % Removed by KO we are not accepting printed papers any more!!!
|
---|
154 | % Exceptionally,
|
---|
155 | % authors for whom it is \emph{impossible} to print on A4 paper may use
|
---|
156 | % \emph{US Letter} paper. In this case, they should keep the \emph{top}
|
---|
157 | % and \emph{left} margins as given above, use the same column width,
|
---|
158 | % height and gap, and modify the bottom and right margins as
|
---|
159 | % necessary. Note that the text will no longer be centered.
|
---|
160 |
|
---|
161 | \subsection{Fonts}
|
---|
162 |
|
---|
163 | For reasons of uniformity, Adobe's {\bf Times Roman} font should be
|
---|
164 | used. In \LaTeX2e{} this is accomplished by putting
|
---|
165 |
|
---|
166 | \begin{quote}
|
---|
167 | \begin{verbatim}
|
---|
168 | \usepackage{times}
|
---|
169 | \usepackage{latexsym}
|
---|
170 | \end{verbatim}
|
---|
171 | \end{quote}
|
---|
172 | in the preamble. If Times Roman is unavailable, use {\bf Computer
|
---|
173 | Modern Roman} (\LaTeX2e{}'s default). Note that the latter is about
|
---|
174 | 10\% less dense than Adobe's Times Roman font.
|
---|
175 |
|
---|

197 | \subsection{The First Page}
|
---|
198 | \label{ssec:first}
|
---|
199 |
|
---|
200 | Center the title, author's name(s) and affiliation(s) across both
|
---|
201 | columns. Do not use footnotes for affiliations. Do not include the
|
---|
202 | paper ID number assigned during the submission process. Use the
|
---|
203 | two-column format only when you begin the abstract.
|
---|
204 |
|
---|
205 | {\bf Title}: Place the title centered at the top of the first page, in
|
---|
206 | a 15-point bold font. (For a complete guide to font sizes and styles, see Table~\ref{font-table}) Long titles should be typed on two lines without
|
---|
207 | a blank line intervening. Approximately, put the title at 2.5 cm from
|
---|
208 | the top of the page, followed by a blank line, then the author's
|
---|
209 | names(s), and the affiliation on the following line. Do not use only
|
---|
210 | initials for given names (middle initials are allowed). Do not format surnames
|
---|
211 | in all capitals (e.g., use ``Schlangen'' not ``SCHLANGEN'').
|
---|
212 | Do not format title and section headings in all capitals as well
|
---|
213 | except for proper names (such as ``BLEU'') that are conventionally
|
---|
214 | in all capitals.
|
---|
215 | The affiliation should contain the author's complete address, and if
|
---|
216 | possible, an electronic mail address. Leave about 2 cm between the
|
---|
217 | affiliation and the body of the first page.
|
---|
218 | The title, author names and addresses should be completely
|
---|
219 | identical to those entered to the electronical paper submission
|
---|
220 | website in order to maintain the consistency of author information
|
---|
221 | among all publications of the conference.
|
---|
222 |
|
---|
223 | {\bf Abstract}: Type the abstract at the beginning of the first
|
---|
224 | column. The width of the abstract text should be smaller than the
|
---|
225 | width of the columns for the text in the body of the paper by about
|
---|
226 | 0.6 cm on each side. Center the word {\bf Abstract} in a 12 point bold
|
---|
227 | font above the body of the abstract. The abstract should be a concise
|
---|
228 | summary of the general thesis and conclusions of the paper. It should
|
---|
229 | be no longer than 200 words. The abstract text should be in 10 point font.
|
---|
230 |
|
---|
231 | {\bf Text}: Begin typing the main body of the text immediately after
|
---|
232 | the abstract, observing the two-column format as shown in
|
---|
233 | the present document. Do not include page numbers.
|
---|
234 |
|
---|
235 | {\bf Indent} when starting a new paragraph. Use 11 points for text and
|
---|
236 | subsection headings, 12 points for section headings and 15 points for
|
---|
237 | the title.
|
---|
238 |
|
---|
239 | \subsection{Sections}
|
---|
240 |
|
---|
241 | {\bf Headings}: Type and label section and subsection headings in the
|
---|
242 | style shown on the present document. Use numbered sections (Arabic
|
---|
243 | numerals) in order to facilitate cross references. Number subsections
|
---|
244 | with the section number and the subsection number separated by a dot,
|
---|
245 | in Arabic numerals. Do not number subsubsections.
|
---|
246 |
|
---|
247 | {\bf Citations}: Citations within the text appear
|
---|
248 | in parentheses as~\cite{Gusfield:97} or, if the author's name appears in
|
---|
249 | the text itself, as Gusfield~\shortcite{Gusfield:97}.
|
---|
250 | Append lowercase letters to the year in cases of ambiguity.
|
---|
251 | Treat double authors as in~\cite{Aho:72}, but write as in~\cite{Chandra:81} when more than two authors are involved. Collapse multiple citations as in~\cite{Gusfield:97,Aho:72}. Also refrain from using full citations as sentence constituents. We suggest that instead of
|
---|
252 | \begin{quote}
|
---|
253 | ``\cite{Gusfield:97} showed that ...''
|
---|
254 | \end{quote}
|
---|
255 | you use
|
---|
256 | \begin{quote}
|
---|
257 | ``Gusfield \shortcite{Gusfield:97} showed that ...''
|
---|
258 | \end{quote}
|
---|
259 |
|
---|
260 | If you are using the provided \LaTeX{} and Bib\TeX{} style files, you
|
---|
261 | can use the command \verb|\newcite| to get ``author (year)'' citations.
|
---|
262 |
|
---|
263 | As reviewing will be double-blind, the submitted version of the papers should not include the
|
---|
264 | authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
|
---|
265 | reveal the author's identity, e.g.,
|
---|
266 | \begin{quote}
|
---|
267 | ``We previously showed \cite{Gusfield:97} ...''
|
---|
268 | \end{quote}
|
---|
269 | should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as
|
---|
270 | \begin{quote}
|
---|
271 | ``Gusfield \shortcite{Gusfield:97}
|
---|
272 | previously showed ... ''
|
---|
273 | \end{quote}
|
---|
274 |
|
---|
275 | \textbf{Please do not use anonymous citations} and do not include acknowledgements when submitting your papers. Papers that do not conform
|
---|
276 | to these requirements may be rejected without review.
|
---|
277 |
|
---|
278 | \textbf{References}: Gather the full set of references together under
|
---|
279 | the heading {\bf References}; place the section before any Appendices,
|
---|
280 | unless they contain references. Arrange the references alphabetically
|
---|
281 | by first author, rather than by order of occurrence in the text.
|
---|
282 | Provide as complete a citation as possible, using a consistent format,
|
---|
283 | such as the one for {\em Computational Linguistics\/} or the one in the
|
---|
284 | {\em Publication Manual of the American
|
---|
285 | Psychological Association\/}~\cite{APA:83}. Use of full names for
|
---|
286 | authors rather than initials is preferred. A list of abbreviations
|
---|
287 | for common computer science journals can be found in the ACM
|
---|
288 | {\em Computing Reviews\/}~\cite{ACM:83}.
|
---|
289 |
|
---|
290 | The \LaTeX{} and Bib\TeX{} style files provided roughly fit the
|
---|
291 | American Psychological Association format, allowing regular citations,
|
---|
292 | short citations and multiple citations as described above.
|
---|
293 |
|
---|
294 | {\bf Appendices}: Appendices, if any, directly follow the text and the
|
---|
295 | references (but see above). Letter them in sequence and provide an
|
---|
296 | informative title: {\bf Appendix A. Title of Appendix}.
|
---|
297 |
|
---|
298 | \textbf{Acknowledgement} section should go as a last section immediately
|
---|
299 | before the references. Do not number the acknowledgement section.
|
---|
300 |
|
---|
301 | \subsection{Footnotes}
|
---|
302 |
|
---|
303 | {\bf Footnotes}: Put footnotes at the bottom of the page and use 9
|
---|
304 | points text. They may be numbered or referred to by asterisks or other
|
---|
305 | symbols.\footnote{This is how a footnote should appear.} Footnotes
|
---|
306 | should be separated from the text by a line.\footnote{Note the line
|
---|
307 | separating the footnotes from the text.}
|
---|
308 |
|
---|
309 | \subsection{Graphics}
|
---|
310 |
|
---|
311 | {\bf Illustrations}: Place figures, tables, and photographs in the
|
---|
312 | paper near where they are first discussed, rather than at the end, if
|
---|
313 | possible. Wide illustrations may run across both columns. Color
|
---|
314 | illustrations are discouraged, unless you have verified that
|
---|
315 | they will be understandable when printed in black ink.
|
---|
316 |
|
---|
317 | {\bf Captions}: Provide a caption for every illustration; number each one
|
---|
318 | sequentially in the form: ``Figure 1. Caption of the Figure.'' ``Table 1.
|
---|
319 | Caption of the Table.'' Type the captions of the figures and
|
---|
320 | tables below the body, using 11 point text.
|
---|
321 |
|
---|
322 | \section{Translation of non-English Terms}
|
---|
323 |
|
---|
324 | It is also advised to supplement non-English characters and terms
|
---|
325 | with appropriate transliterations and/or translations
|
---|
326 | since not all readers understand all such characters and terms.
|
---|
327 | Inline transliteration or translation can be represented in
|
---|
328 | the order of: original-form transliteration ``translation''.
|
---|
329 |
|
---|
330 | \section{Length of Submission}
|
---|
331 | \label{sec:length}
|
---|
332 |
|
---|
333 | Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus two extra pages for references
|
---|
334 | and short papers may consist of up to 4 pages including references in the proceedings.
|
---|
335 | Papers that do not conform to the specified length and formatting requirements are
|
---|
336 | subject to be rejected without review.
|
---|
337 |
|
---|
338 | \section{Other Issues}
|
---|
339 |
|
---|
340 | Those papers that had software and/or dataset submitted for the review process should also submit it
|
---|
341 | with the camera-ready paper. Besides, the software and/or dataset should not be anonymous.
|
---|
342 |
