Format of Submission
Papers in English, not exceeding 10 pages, should be submitted on the online portal stated below. Papers should include an abstract of about 100-200 words.
Each long paper submission consists of a paper of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus two pages for references. Final versions of long papers will be given one additional page (up to 9 pages with unlimited pages for references) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Long papers should follow the two-column format of ACL 2015 proceedings.

NLP tools contests at ICON 2015
The ICON 2015 tools contest is on on Statistical Machine Translation in Indian Languages(IL). Machine translation (MT) is the process of encoding the syntactic and semantic information of a source language text into a target language. In past two decades, MT has shown very promising results particularly using Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) especially for English and other European Languages. However, its effectiveness in translating sentences within Indian Languages (IL) and between English and Indian languages needs to be explored further. The NLP tool contest in ICON 2015 aims to collectively explore the effectiveness of SMT while translating within ILs and between English and ILs.
