Preface by the General Chair

摘要

Welcome to EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 in Hong Kong! I hope that this will be a successful conference in the 25-year tradition of EMNLP and IJCNLP, as well as an enjoyable and enriching experience for all. Continuing recent trends, this year has seen overwhelming interest from researchers from all over the world. We received a total of 2,914 submissions, which is a 37% increase over EMNLP 2018 (2,117 submissions).
