[Sealang-l] [CfP] Call for Participation: DSL Shared and Unshared Task at RANLP 2015

[DSL Shared Task]

*Call For Participation*

DSL Shared and Unshared Task at LT4VarDial Workshop - RANLP 2015 (
http://ttg.uni-saarland.de/lt4vardial2015/dsl.html)

Discriminating between similar languages and language varieties is one of
the bottlenecks of language identification systems. This aspect has been
topic of a number of papers published in the last years as well as the
first edition of the DSL shared task in 2014. This year we are organizing a
new edition of the DSL shared task with new languages, a new evaluation
methodology and an unshared task track.

In the unshared task, teams can use any version of DSLCC as a resource to
investigate differences between similar languages and language varieties
using NLP methods. The fundamental question that unshared task participant
should answer is: "What are the most important differences between these
similar languages and language varieties?"
