列一下自然语言处理(NLP)这个小方向的：
会议(C):
ACL (Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics)
NAACL (Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of Association for Computational Linguistics)
EMNLP (Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing)
EACL (Annual Conference of the European Chapter of Association for Computational Linguistics)
COLING (International Conference on Computational Linguistics)
SIGKDD (ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining)
SIGIR (ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval)
WWW (International World Wide Web Conference)

期刊(J):
CL (Computational Linguistics)
TACL (Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics)
C(1-3)和J(1,2)没得说，ACL下面的旗舰会议和期刊 (J(2)虽然比较年轻，但是主编是Micheal Collins大神，质量有保障!!)
C(4,5) 放在顶会的行列里可能会有一些争议，尤其是C(5)，感觉近年来paper质量下滑严重(?)
C(6-8) 基本都会有NLP相关的session或者research topic，所以也可以认为是NLP方向的顶会
因为NLP和data mining(DM)有重合的topic，所以有的NLPer也会选择投DM方向的其他顶会/刊，这里就不列出来了。
