co-located with EACL 2023

Submission Deadline: 27 February 2023
WORKSHOPDESCRIPTION
The 9th edition of the SNLP Workshop at EACLSponsored by SIGSLAV: the ACL
Special Interest Group on Slavic NLP
The languages from the Slavic group play an important role due to their diverse
cultural heritage and widespread use — with over 400 million speakers
worldwide. The current political and economic developments in Central and
Eastern Europe bring Slavic societies and languages into focus in terms of
rapid technological advancement and expanding consumer markets.
Research on theoretical and applied topics in the context of Slavic languages
is still lagging in the community. Linguistic phenomena that are common to
Slavic languages — rich morphology, free word order, etc. — make NLP for these
languages a challenging task. Slavic NLP gathers researchers from academia and
industry. It aims to stimulate research in Slavic NLP, and to foster the
creation of tools and resources. The Workshops provides a forum for exchange of
ideas and experience, discussing current challenges, and making the available
resources widely-known. The structural similarity, as well as the easily
recognizable core vocabulary and inflectional inventory spanning this entire
large language group creates a special environment, where researchers can
appreciate the shared problems and communicate naturally — despite the lack of
mutual intelligibility.This year, we are especially glad to have an opportunity
to organize Slav NLP in a Slavic-speaking country.
This Workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Slavic
languages. The NLP tasks in urgent need of attention include:
*
language modeling
*
morphological analysis and generation,
*
syntactic and semantic parsing,
*
lexical semantics,
*
named-entity recognition,
*
text normalisation and processing non-standard language
*
coreference resolution,
*
information extraction,
*
question answering,
*
text summarization,
*
machine translation,
*
development of linguistic resources,
*
text classification
*
disinformation detection,
*
fact verification.
*
sentiment analysis
This Workshop continues the proud tradition established by the 8 previous BSNLP
Workshops.
