Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

We are preparing a cross-lingual (Spanish, Portuguese, and English), which was
only in English in previous events we organized, a socio-political event
information classification and extraction task. Moreover, we are preparing two
additional data challenges about protests pertaining to BlackLivesMatter and
COVID19. These challenges will be about automatically replicating the
spatiotemporal distribution of a manually curated events list. Common Crawl
News will be exploited as a data source. Moreover, a Twitter dataset will be
shared with the participants as well.

A Codalab page will be set up for each task. Participating teams will be
required to submit a report, which will be peer-reviewed, describing the
methods and results they ran on the data. We encourage submissions of the
system papers on our available benchmarks (ProtestNews @ CLEF 2020 and AESPEN
@ LREC 2020). Please find details of these datasets and shared tasks on
Hürriyetoğlu et al. (2019, 2020a, and 2020b).

Please send an e-mail to ahurriyetoglu at ku.edu.tr if you would like to
participate in any of the shared tasks.
