ACLSW 2019

Association of Computational Linguistics Student Workshop 2019 (ACLSW2019)

We plan to make a research paper submission to the ACL19 conference. Our research paper will include all work completed thus far in the work on LUCAS, in terms of a GAN-based approach to fake review detection. We will base our direction off of the work previously done by Aghakhani et al. in Detecting Deceptive Reviews using Generative Adversarial Networks. However we will use more data, choose features more carefully, and experiment with different network architctures in our research. Also, as we dive into GAN creation, we will almost certainly discover more low-hanging fruit to introduce novelty into our work. Here is the import info about the conference, deadlines and submission guidelines.

Submission Guidelines

Both research proposals and research papers are limited to 5 pages for content, with any number of additional pages allowed for references. Upon acceptance, authors will be allowed 1 additional page of content in order to incorporate suggestions from the reviewers.

Research Papers must describe original completed work or work in progress. Since the main purpose of presenting at the workshop is to exchange ideas with other researchers and to receive helpful feedback for further development of the work, papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. The first author of multi-author papers must be a student, but additional co-authors need not be students. Research Papers are eligible for this workshop only if they have not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Students who have already presented at a past ACL/EACL/NAACL Student Research Workshop may not submit to this track as a first author (though they may still be a co-author, or the first author of a Research Proposal). These students are instead encouraged to submit their work to the main conference or to the Research Proposal track. During submission, students must clearly indicate whether a paper has been submitted to another conference or workshop. One student can only submit one paper to the Research Papers track as a first author.

Our submission

Paper layout

Given 5 pages of content (and unlimited references), I propose the following paper structure.

Abstract (200w max)

I: Introduction (~1.25 page)

II: Approach (2/2.5 pages)

III: Evaluation (0.75/1 page)

IV: Related Work (half a page)

V: Future Work (one sixth pages)

VI: Conclusion (one sixth pages)

Acknowledgements (one sixth pages)

References (Unlimited)

This is based off reading other short (4-6 page) papers in the same domain.
