Subject: ADoBo 2021 - A Shared Task on Automatic Detection of Borrowings - Call for Participation

 
We invite you to participate in ADoBo, the shared task on automatic detection
of borrowings: https://adobo-task.github.io/

For the first edition of ADoBo, we propose a shared task on detecting
unassimilated lexical borrowings in the Spanish press, i.e. words that have
recently been imported into Spanish and that haven’t been assimilated yet into
the language (words such as 'smartphone', 'hype', 'social media', 'machine
learning' or 'youtuber').

The task will run from February 2021 to June 2021 and is part of IberLEF 2021,
which will take place in September 2021.

A corpus of Spanish newswire will be distributed among participants. The
articles will be annotated with lexical borrowings. Borrowings will be
annotated with BIO labels with two possible categories: ENG for English
borrowings and OTHER for lexical borrowings from other languages (non lexical
borrowings will have the tag O). Only unassimilated lexical borrowings will be
considered. This means that borrowings that have already gone through
orthographical or morphological adaption will not be labeled as borrowings.

Participants will be provided with annotated versions of the training and
development set, and an unannotated test set. Participants are expected to
submit the annotated test set produced by their system.

ADoBo welcomes participation from anyone working in code-mixed data, as well
as those interested in the intersection of neology, lexicography and NLP.
