Fourth call for participation - MentalRiskES@IberLEF2025: Early detection of mental risk
by María Dolores Molina González 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Release of test corpora and start of the evaluation campaign (test server available and trial submissions closed) ****We apologize for multiple postings of this e-mail**** MentalRiskES2025 describes the third edition of a novel task on early risk identification of mental disorders in Spanish comments from social media sources. The first and the second editions took place in the IberLEF evaluation forum as part of the SEPLN 2023 and SEPLN 2024. The task was resolved as an online problem, that is, the participants had to detect a potential risk as early as possible in a continuous stream of data. Therefore, the performance not only depended on the accuracy of the systems but also on how fast the problem is detected. These dynamics are reflected in the design of the tasks and the metrics used to evaluate participants. For this third edition, we propose two novel tasks, the first subtask is about the detection of the gambling disorder and the second subtask consists of detecting a type of Addiction. We would like to invite you to participate in the following tasks: 1. Risk Detection of Gambling Disorders (Binary classification) 2. Type of Addiction Detection (Multiclass classification) Find out more at https://sites.google.com/view/mentalriskes2025. MentalRiskES 2025 is part of the IberLEF Workshop and will be held in conjunction with the SEPLN 2025 conference in Zaragoza (Spain). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 14th Registration open Feb 25th Release of trial corpora (trial server available) Mar 19th Release of training corpora Mar 31st Registration closed *Apr 6th Release of test corpora and start of the evaluation campaign (test server available and trial submissions closed)* Apr 14th End of evaluation campaign (deadline for submission of runs) Apr 18th Publication of official results and release of test gold labels May 12th Deadline for paper submission May 30th Acceptance notification Jun 16th Camera-ready submission deadline Sep TBD Publication of proceedings Note: All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 Please reach out to the organizers at MentalRiskEs@IberLEF2025.

Second Call for Participation: Shared task on Clickbait Detection and Spoiling in Spanish - TA1C
by Luis Chiruzzo - Inco 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

*** Second Call for Participation for TA1C at IberLEF 2025 *** TA1C (Te Ahorré Un Click) Clickbait Detection and Spoiling in Spanish at IberLEF 2025 https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/21819 UPDATE: The training data has been released! Clickbait is a widespread phenomenon in online news: it is a way of creating headlines and teasers aimed at capturing readers’ attention in order to increase traffic, relegating the function of informing to a secondary role. There is no clear consensus at the moment about how to define clickbait exactly, with some contradictory definitions that usually are based on the deceptive effect created by the news failing to deliver what they promise, or content based related phenomena such as sensationalism or yellow journalism. For this task we will take the following definition, based on Loewenstein's information gap theory: “Clickbait is a method for generating teasers, especially online, that deliberately omits part of the information with the goal of generating curiosity by creating an information gap, thereby attracting the readers' attention and making them click”. Although clickbait started in low-reputation web-exclusive media that focused on political propaganda or soft-news, such as The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Upworthy, it has gained prominence across all types of news and media. However, it is usually perceived as annoying and it can lead to misinformation. Spoiling the clickbait involves satisfying the curiosity by answering the information gap created. This way, the reader could have all of the information and can decide to read the complete article based on interest and not curiosity, just as if the headline was written in a traditional way. In this shared task we will provide a dataset of media tweets written in different varieties of Spanish and from different sources, with their corresponding associated media articles. Participants will be asked to solve the following tasks: * Clickbait Detection: Determine if the content of a tweet that links to a media article is clickbait, given the previous definition of clickbait. This is a binary classification task. * Clickbait Spoiling: Given a clickbait teaser (tweet and title) and the corresponding news article, generate or extract from the article a short text that, as concisely as possible (280 characters max), fills the information gap, satisfying the generated curiosity, or otherwise indicate that the articles has no response for it. The generated text must be in Spanish. How to participate: If you want to participate in this task, please join our Codalab competition <https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/21819>: Important Dates: * May 27th, 2025: test set and open for submissions. * June 3rd, 2025: publication of results. * June 12th, 2025: paper submission. * June 20th, 2025: notification of acceptance. * June 27th, 2025: camera-ready paper submission. * September, 2025: IberLEF 2025 Workshop.
