Meeting Description:

SemEval-2020 (International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation) Call for Task
Proposals


2nd Call for Papers:

Final Call for Task Proposals 

Please kindly note that due to the space limit here, the full version of call
for proposals can be found instead at: 

http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2020/index.php?id=call-for-task-proposals

For other *very important* information such as Content of Proposals, Task
Selection, New Tasks vs. Task Reruns, and Task Organization, please check the
above link for the full version. 

We invite proposals for tasks to be run as part of SemEval-2020. SemEval (the
International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation) is an ongoing series of
evaluations of computational semantics systems, organized under the umbrella
of SIGLEX, the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for
Computational Linguistics. 

For SemEval-2020, we welcome any task that can test an automatic system for
semantic analysis of text, be it application-dependent or
application-independent. We especially welcome tasks for different languages,
cross-lingual tasks, tasks requiring semantic interpretation, and tasks with
both intrinsic and application-based evaluation. See the websites of previous
editions of SemEval to get an idea about the range of tasks explored, e.g.,
for SemEval-2019: http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2019/ 

We strongly encourage proposals based on pilot studies that have already
generated initial data and that can provide concrete examples and foresee the
challenges of preparing the full task. In the event of receiving many
proposals, preference will be given to tasks that have already run a pilot
study for the proposed task. 

We especially welcome tasks that are devoted to developing novel applications
of computational semantics. We will encourage tasks that have a clearly
defined end-user application showcasing and enhancing our understanding of
computational semantics, as well as extending the current state-of-the-art.

Task proposals due March 21, 2019 
Task selection notification May 4, 2019

Submission will be electronic, using the START conference management system
at: https://www.softconf.com/naacl2019/semeval2020/. 

In case you are not sure whether a task is suitable for SemEval, please feel
free to get in touch with the SemEval organizers at
