Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the first ETeRNAL workshop will be held on June 22, 2015 co-located with the TALN 2015 conference, in Caen (Normandy), France.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a discipline at the heart of the main ethical issues of this 21st century: access to personal data, privacy protection, processing of big data, outsourcing and crowd-sourcing are all issues directly linked to the applications we develop.

The issues we would like to be addressed concern both the contributions of NLP and our ethical responsibilities as tool producers. We cannot pretend not to know that NLP tools make abuses, crimes, violations of individual rights possible. Today, what NLP tools are capable of? How far is our moral responsibility involved? Should we be whistle-blowers? What could we do to limit the potentially negative effects of our research?

Call for Papers:

Topics Covered:

- Sensitive data
- Crowd-sourcing and ethical issues
- Ethical issues surrounding the use of tools or the result of processing
- Quality and bias of the evaluation
