@ojahnn @aclanthology On Saturday we were told that they would do it soon, so shouldn’t take long hopefully!

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

This was a question in the IWCS quiz! Unsurprisingly, all teams answered correctly 😁

[Jack Hessel @jmhessel]

Them: What movie do you want to watch?
All #NLProc researchers: Arrival
Them: ... Again?
#NLProc: ... Yes...

@SeeTedTalk @ojahnn Thanks! Our philosophy was: short days (4 hours max) and short, but interactive sessions (1 hour max), using Gather wherever possible (everything except keynotes). All papers were posters + 1 min videos (both in Gather).

Time zones were an issue though, with such short days.

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

There's currently a great panel session happening at #IWCS2021! What is the future of computational semantics now that end-to-end neural systems are so successful?

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

Are you not attending #IWCS2021, but still interested in attending an (unrecorded) keynote by @rachelrudinger?

You're in luck! First 5 people to DM this account get free access to her keynote on Zoom, which takes place at 15:00 CET today. So be quick!

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

Our main social event starts at 18:00 CET, so in about 10 minutes! It's a short quiz, in teams, mostly about general knowledge, but with some IWCS/Groningen/semantics sprinkled in. Please join us on Gather!

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

IWCS 2021 Day 1 will start in exactly half an hour!

The first session is a keynote by the one and only Mirella Lapata! We have a full schedule afterwards. Check it out here:

Hope to see you all there! #IWCS2021

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

IWCS 2021 has started with the workshops!

Three workshops are well underway (ISA-17, @nalomameeting, SemSpace 2021) with MMSR I starting in an hour.

In exactly 5 hours, we will have the welcome on Zoom.
Please join to hear more about IWCS and the upcoming schedule #IWCS2021

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

It's still possible to register to IWCS 2021, which takes place next week Wed-Fri!

Here's also a sneak peek of our Gather Town. Even though IWCS is fully online you don't have to miss out on the highlights of Groningen! #IWCS2021

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

Registration for IWCS 2021 has opened!

https://t.co/BicihHkWHs

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

We are happy to announce our two great keynote speakers: Rachel Rudinger (@rachelrudinger) and Mirella Lapata (@mlapata)!

Submission deadline for IWCS 2021 is in two days!

If you're doubting whether to submit, here's a small scoop that might push you over the edge: there will be awards for outstanding papers this year!

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

Only a week left to submit to IWCS 2021: submission deadline is March 12th!

Note that the deadline is "anywhere on earth", to possibly accommodate the computational semanticists that plan on visiting Howland Island next week😉

[IWCS2021 @iwcs2021]

Okay, okay, we are not as big, but if you do computational semantics you don't have to wait, because IWCS 2021 has a submission deadline of March 12th! #NLProc

[EMNLP 2026 @emnlpmeeting]

With the ACL-IJCNLP deadline firmly behind you, here's the next big one! EMNLP 2021 paper submissions are due on May 17th. Anonymity period starts on April 17th.
