Special Interest Groups

ACL has a large number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs), focusing on specific areas of natural language processing. Some current SIGs within ACL are:

  • Linguistic Annotation: SIGANN
  • SIGBIOMED
  • Linguistic data and corpus-based approaches: SIGDAT
  • Dialogue Processing: SIGDIAL
  • SIGFSM
  • Natural Language Generation: SIGGEN
  • Chinese Language Processing: SIGHAN
  • Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities: SIGHUM
  • Lexicon: SIGLEX (SIGLEX is the umbrella organization for the SemEval semantic evaluations and SENSEVAL word-sense evaluation exercises.)
  • Mathematics of Language: SIGMOL
  • Machine Translation: SIGMT
  • Natural Language Learning: SIGNLL
  • Natural Language Parsing: SIGPARSE
  • Computational Morphology and Phonology: SIGMORPHON
  • Computational Semantics: SIGSEM
  • Speech & Language Processing for Assistive Technologies: SIGSLPAT
  • Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages: SEMITIC
  • Web as Corpus SIGWAC

Famous quotes containing the words special, interest and/or groups:

    “History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “Indiana was really, I suppose, a Democratic State. It has always been put down in the book as a state that might be carried by a close and careful and perfect organization and a great deal of—[from audience: “soap”Ma reference to purchased votes, the word being followed by laughter].
    I see reporters here, and therefore I will simply say that everybody showed a great deal of interest in the occasion, and distributed tracts and political documents all through the country.”

    “Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy clouds—the greyhounds of heaven.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
