I attended the CoNLL conference in Beijing July 30-31, which is organized by SIGNLL (the ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning). CoNLL had shallow discourse parsing as a shared task and in total 29 long and 9 short papers were presented. I presented a paper based on my master thesis called Linking entities across images and text. The paper was co-authored with Pierre Nugues and Kalle Åström at Lund University. CoNLL was collocated with ACL 2015 and held at the China National Convention Center.
