The April Fools' Day Workshop on Computational Humour - Instructions for Authors

Important Dates

Instruction for authors

Regular papers should be 10 pages at most (including bibliography).

The proceedings distributed at the workshop will be prepared following the format of International Twente Workshops on Language Technology Series (TWLT Series). You should follow the TWLT style- and document template file for LaTeX or a Word Template document for TWLT. These can be downloaded from this page. Please follow the instructions described in the template.

• LaTeX: For LaTeX pictures, please use the epsfig.sty or psfig package that allows embedding encapsulated postscript (.eps) files.

  For bibiographic references we prefer a name-date style. The TWLT style forces the use of natbib.sty with apalike.bst. If you want to use the lap citation commands, you can add the class option lap at the very beginning of your document ( \documentclass[lap]{twlt}). This is explained in the template document. With the lap option \cite gives the author name plus the year without parentheses; \cite* gives only the year. Instead of sending a complete .bib file, rather send the reference list from the .bbl file.
