WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The 9th edition of the Slav-NLP Workshop at EACL
Sponsored 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 Slav-NLP features the 4th edition of 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.
Information about the Shared Task and training data is available on the
Workshop web page
