ACL 2025 Call for Student Volunteers # Student Volunteer Program A limited number of student volunteers are needed for the success of ACL 2025. Both online and in-person event volunteers are needed. Tasks may include assisting at the registration desk, filling delegate packs, managing poster board sessions and displays, serving as volunteer coordinator for the day, and/or AV/technical support such as (but not limited to) managing social media (X/Twitter) and providing assistance for conference events including tutorials, the main conference, and workshops (either online or in-person versions). In exchange for a minimum of 10 hours of service, students receive free registration to the main conference (including the ACL membership fee of the current year and paper registration fee if applicable), workshops and tutorials, and social events. The work will be divided, probably into two half-day shifts, and the shifts will be scheduled to maximise volunteer access to the conference events. *We'd like to kindly inform you that the award does not include provisions for travel and accommodation.* If travel support is essential for you, we encourage you to explore the D&I funds as well. ## IMPORTANT DATES All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth"). - Application Deadline: June 6, 2025 - Notification of Acceptance: June 16, 2025 ## SELECTION CRITERIA The selection process for the Student Volunteer Program will involve a careful evaluation of the materials submitted by applicants. Priority consideration will be given to individuals who meet either of the following criteria: - Students who will be presenting a paper at the main conference or an associated workshop, whether in person or online. We encourage both newcomers and those with prior volunteer experience to apply. - Students who are enthusiastic about assisting with various aspects of the conference, genuinely hoping to collaborate in making ACL 2025 a success. - Student presenters who demonstrate financial need (Applicants can optionally include a letter from a faculty advisor to explain financial need). - For virtual volunteers, students who are familiar with GatherTown and Whova. **IMPORTANT: Applicants who are selected must commit to attending the training sessions and fulfilling the assigned responsibilities. If you are unsure whether you will attend the conference, please do not apply-we expect every volunteer to show up and demonstrate enthusiasm for helping out the conference**. ## SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Applicants for the Student Volunteer Program must be full-time students and should submit the completed application form, where we ask a few questions and a one-page CV (resume). Students should make travel arrangements and accommodations independent of the results of the application. Apply via the following form: https://forms.gle/THCSnxw8dte34Wbu5 [1] Please **DO NOT REGISTER** for the ACL 2025 Conference until someone has reached out to you or you have received a Congratulatory email confirming your Volunteer Service Acceptance. Once you have received this Acceptance notification, you will receive a special link to register for which your registration fees are waived. Additionally, a separate email containing a Volunteer Registration form will be sent to you, in which you can list what volunteer preference task you would like based on your skillset (i.e. registration, volunteer coordinator, poster session liaison etc.). This form must be completed FIRST in order to receive the ACL Conference 2025 LINK to have registration fees waived. If, for any reason, you are not accepted, the Registrar will work with you to secure early registration fee rates. In the case that a student requires reimbursement after the conference for LATE volunteer registration, the student must provide a receipt of paid registration fees from a debit or bank account (i.e., a business expense report) to the ACL Assistant Director of Events, Megs Haddad acl.megshaddad(a)gmail.com ## SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT NOTES - Student volunteers receive only free conference registration and free ACL membership for the year, and must be responsible for all other costs, such as travel and accommodation. - Student volunteers may also apply for the Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) grant, which may help offset additional costs. The application procedures are separate. - We plan to notify of acceptance of student volunteer status on June 16, 2025. Please do not register for the conference before that. - Student volunteers who do NOT show up to their training sessions and their assigned duties will be charged the full cost after the conference. - Student volunteers who do not fulfil 10 hours of service may be charged for a portion--or the entirety--of their conference benefits. ## STUDENT VOLUNTEER CHAIRS Contact: acl2025-volunteer-chairs(a)googlegroups.com - Pedro Henrique Luz de Araujo, University of Vienna (Austria) - Eleonora Mancini, University of Bologna (Italy) Links: ------ [1] https://forms.gle/THCSnxw8dte34Wbu5

These dialects significantly differ in syntax, vocabulary, and sentiment expression, making sentiment analysis a challenging NLP task. This task focuses on multi-dialectal sentiment detection in hotel reviews, where participants will classify sentiment as positive, neutral, or negative across multiple Arabic dialects, including Saudi, and Moroccan. This shared task provides a high-quality multi-dialect parallel dataset, enabling participants to explore: 1. Dialect-Specific Sentiment Detection – Understanding how sentiment varies across dialects. 2. Cross-Linguistic Sentiment Analysis – Investigating sentiment preservation across dialects. 3. Benchmarking on Multi-Dialect Data – Evaluating models on a standardised Arabic dialect dataset. 📦 Dataset Overview - Hotel reviews across multiple Arabic dialects. - Balanced sentiment distribution (positive, neutral, negative). - Multi-Dialect Parallel Dataset – Each review is available in multiple dialects, allowing for cross-linguistic comparison. 📏 Evaluation Metrics - Primary Metric: F1-Score. - Additional Analysis: Comparison of sentiment accuracy across dialects. 🧪 Baseline System - Pre-trained BERT-based model (AraBERT) fine-tuned on MSA and Arabic dialect data. - Participants are encouraged to improve upon the baseline model with their own techniques and use LLMs. 🌟 Why Participate? - Contribute to Arabic NLP Research – Help advance sentiment analysis for Arabic dialects. - Gain Access to a High-Quality Dataset – A unique multi-dialect benchmark for future research. - Collaborate with the NLP Community – Engage with leading researchers and practitioners. - Showcase Your Work – High-performing models may be featured in a post-task publication. 🗓️ Timeline - Training data ready – April 15, 2024 - Test Evaluation starts – May 1, 2025 - Test Evaluation end – May 5, 2025 - Paper submission due – May 16, 2025 - Notification to authors – May 31, 2025 - Shared task presentation co-located with RANLP 2025 – September 11, 12, and 13, 2025 ✅ How to Participate? 1.
