The 8th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing
(IJCNLP 2017)

==================================================================

IJCNLP 2017 Shared Tasks will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, at Taipei Nangang
Exhibitation Hall on December 1st, 2017.  The topics of the shared tasks
cover
1) grammatical error diagnosis,
2) sentiment analysis,
3) product review summarization and customer feedback analysis and
4) question-answering.

Please visit each task website as listed below for more information.

1. Shared Task on Chinese Grammatical Error Diagnosis (CGED)

Participants will build systems to automatically detect the errors in
Chinese sentences (error existence, types and position) made by
Chinese-as-Second-Language learners.  Four error types are annotated in the
corpus for training, i.e. redundant word, missing word, word selection and
word ordering.  There were three previous events of the shared task (2014,
2015 and 2016).

2. Dimensional Sentiment Analysis for Chinese Phrases

Given a word or phrase, participants are asked to provide a real-valued
score from 1 to 9 for both valence and arousal dimensions, indicating the
degree from most negative to most positive for valence, and from most calm
to most excited for arousal.

3. Review Opinion Diversification

Participants will build systems to rank top-k reviews as a summary of
opinions of product reviews in three different ways. The shared task will
use a subset of Amazon SNAP product reviews dataset for experiments.  It
contains reviews of products in different categories, e.g., 22,000,000+
reviews of books and 7,000,000+ reviews of electronics products.

4. Shared Task on Customer Feedback Analysis

Understanding and being able to react to customer feedback is the most
fundamental task in providing good customer service.  The shared task will
provide a corpus annotated using a five-class categorization (comment,
request, bug, complaint and meaningless) from a pilot study of
ADAPT-Microsoft joint research project.  Participants will train
classifiers for the detection of meanings in customer feedback in English,
Spanish and Japanese.

5. Multi-choice Question Answering in Examinations

Participants will build systems to choose the correct option for each
multi-choice question.  The dataset is comprised of two parts, English and
Chinese.  The total number of questions (along with their answers) is
14,447.
