============== SPMRL 2013 SHARED TASK ==============
The fourth SPMRL workshop (www.spmrl.org), 
collocated with EMNLP 2013, hosts the first shared
task on parsing morphologically rich languages.


===== Summary =====
It's still possible to participate to the SPMRL 2013 shared task:
a multilingual, multiframework shared task on statistical
parsing of morphologically-rich language!

Webpage (official): http://www.spmrl.org/spmrl2013-sharedtask.html
test submission deadline : August 18, 2013 
(test data release: July 28, 2013)


===== Introduction =====

The primary goal of the shared task on parsing morphologically rich
languages is to bring forward work on parsing morphologically ambiguous
input in both dependency and constituency parsing, and to show the state
of the art for MRLs. In the longer term, we aim to provide streamlined
data sets and evaluation metrics, thus improving the comparability of
cross-linguistic work on parsing MRLs. The shared task features tracks
in constituency parsing and in dependency parsing, in gold as well as in
realistic scenarios (the realistic scenario will have no gold
tokenization, no gold part-of-speech tags and morphological features).


===== Data set =====
The participants will be provided with data from 9 different languages
(Arabic, Basque, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Polish,
Swedish). The data are available in Penn Treebank bracketing format,
CoNLL-X format and optionally in TiGerXML. In order to ease
cross-linguistic comparisons, the data set are also released with a
common training size setting (ie. 5000 sentences).

===== Shared Task Schedule =====
Release of training and dev. data       June  6 
Release of test data     				July 28 
Deadline for submission of test runs    August 18 
Submission and announcement of results  August 23 
Shared task papers due (provisional)    September 4 
Shared task camera ready papers due     September 16
