Call for Participation: 4th Slav-NER Shared Task — Named Entities in Slavic Languages
by Roman Yangarber 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

Call for Participation The 4th Slav-NER Shared Task Named Entities in Slavic Languages — Recognition, Normalization, Classification and Cross-Lingual Linking co-located with Slav-NLP <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/> Workshop, EACL 2023 <https://2023.eacl.org/> http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html> * Task Description * *The 4th Slav-NER Shared Task focuses on Named Entities in Slavic languages.* Due to rich inflection, free word order, derivation, and other phenomena common to the Slavic languages, work on Named Entities poses important challenges. Fostering research & development on the problems of Named Entities — detecting names, lemmatization (normalization), classification, and cross-lingual matching — is crucial for information access and wider use of NLP in Slavic languages. The 4th Slav-NER Shared Task covers three languages: * Czech, * Polish, * Russian. and five types of named entities: * persons, * locations, * organizations, * events, * products. For information about training and test data, guidelines, and participation, please see the Shared Task Home Page <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html>. *IMPORTANT*: Participants are NOT required to perform all tasks or for all languages. For example, a monolingual entry, without lemmatization of the names, can participate. The Shared Task focuses on cross-lingual extraction of named entities — the systems should recognize, classify, and extract all mentions of a name in a document; detecting the position of each name mention is NOT required. Name mentions should be lemmatized, and mentions referring to the same real-world object should be linked across documents and languages. The text collection consists of sets of documents retrieved from the Web, each set about a certain major entity or event. The corpus was collected by crawling the Web and parsing the HTML documents. For background, see the details about the 1st edition (2017) <http://bsnlp-2017.cs.helsinki.fi/shared_task.html> , 2nd edition (2019) <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/bsnlp-2019/shared_task.html> and the 3rd edition (2021) <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html> of this shared task. * Participation *Teams that wish to participate should register via email to: bsnlp(a)cs.helsinki.fi, with the following information: * name of team, * team members, * contact person, * contact email. * Important Dates * * Shared task announcement: 11 January 2023 ⇒ *Training Data Released !* * Registration deadline: *06 March 2023* * *Release of Test Data* to registered participants: *07 March 2023* * Submission of system responses: 09 March 2023 * Results announced to participants: 11 March 2023 * Submission of shared task papers: 13 March 2023 * Camera-ready shared task papers: 03 April 2023 Shared task organizers. -- Roman Yangarber Associate Professor, University of Helsinki Digital Humanities INEQ: Helsinki Inequality Initiative <https://helsinki.fi/en/ineq-helsinki-inequality-initiative> — Linguistic Inequalities and Translation Technologies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ e-Learning & language learninghelsinki.fi/revita <https://www.helsinki.fi/revita> Language Learning Labhelsinki.fi/language-learning-lab <https://www.helsinki.fi/language-learning-lab> Unioninkatu 40, Metsätalo A214 mobile: +358 50 41 51 71 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RЯ

Call for Papers: Slav-NLP: The 9th Workshop on NLP for SlavicLanguages
by Roman Yangarber 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

* Call for Papers * * SNLP: The9thWorkshoponNLP for Slavic languages <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/> 2 May 2023 or 6 May 2023 co-located with EACL 2023 http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/ <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/> Submission Deadline: 27 February 2023 WORKSHOPDESCRIPTION The 9th edition of the SNLP Workshop at EACLSponsored by SIGSLAV: the ACL Special Interest Group on Slavic NLP The languages from the Slavic group play an important role due to their diverse cultural heritage and widespread use — with over 400 million speakers worldwide. The current political and economic developments in Central and Eastern Europe bring Slavic societies and languages into focus in terms of rapid technological advancement and expanding consumer markets. Research on theoretical and applied topics in the context of Slavic languages is still lagging in the community. Linguistic phenomena that are common to Slavic languages — rich morphology, free word order, etc. — make NLP for these languages a challenging task. Slavic NLP gathers researchers from academia and industry. It aims to stimulate research in Slavic NLP, and to foster the creation of tools and resources. The Workshops provides a forum for exchange of ideas and experience, discussing current challenges, and making the available resources widely-known. The structural similarity, as well as the easily recognizable core vocabulary and inflectional inventory spanning this entire large language group creates a special environment, where researchers can appreciate the shared problems and communicate naturally — despite the lack of mutual intelligibility.This year, we are especially glad to have an opportunity to organize Slav NLP in a Slavic-speaking country. This Workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Slavic languages. The NLP tasks in urgent need of attention include: * language modeling * morphological analysis and generation, * syntactic and semantic parsing, * lexical semantics, * named-entity recognition, * text normalisation and processing non-standard language * coreference resolution, * information extraction, * question answering, * text summarization, * machine translation, * development of linguistic resources, * text classification * disinformation detection, * fact verification. * sentiment analysis This Workshop continues the proud tradition established by the 8 previous BSNLP Workshops. IMPORTANT DATES * Submission deadline: 27 February 2023 * Notification of acceptance: 19 March 2023 * Camera-ready papers due: 27 March 2023 * Workshop: 2 or 6 May 2023 SHARED TASK This year's SNLP features the 4th editionof the Shared Task on Multilingual Named Entity Recognition: recognizing mentions of named entities in Web documents, lemmatization, and cross-lingual matching in Slavic languages. The shared task covers: * Czech, * Polish, * Russian.
