The 13th Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2017)
Workshop at EACL 2017 (Valencia, Spain), April 4, 2017
Endorsed by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon (SIGLEX) of the Association for Computational Linguistics and PARSEME, the European IC1207 COST Action
Last updated: March 30, 2017
Selected papers
34 papers (22 short and 12 long) were submitted to the main track of the workshop. 7 papers (4 short and 3 long) were selected as oral presentations and 14 (11 short and 3 long) as posters. The overall selectivity rate is 62%.
6 system description papers and 1 shared task description paper were submitted to the shared task track. The former were all selected as posters and the latter as an oral presentation. The reviewing modalities were different in this track, therefore we do not count these papers in the workshop selectivity rate.
