😊 Sentiment Across Multi-Dialectal Arabic: A Benchmark for Sentiment Analysis in the Hospitality Domain
We invite researchers, practitioners, and NLP enthusiasts to participate in the Sentiment Across Multi-Dialectal Arabic shared task, a challenge aimed at advancing sentiment analysis for Arabic dialects in the hospitality sector.
🧠 About the Task
Arabic is one of the world’s most spoken languages, characterised by rich dialectal variation across different regions. 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

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
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.

* Workshop on Medical Language Processing in the era of Large Language Models (MLP-LLM 2025) *
Colocated with CORIA-TALN 2025 -- 30 June 2025 , Marseille
Deadline : 30th April 2025 (UTC-12/Anywhere on Earth)
* Call for Papers *
[ https://atilf-umr7118.github.io/MLPLLM2025/ | https://atilf-umr7118.github.io/MLPLLM2025/ ]
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized natural language processing across various domains, including healthcare. However, the complexities of medical language—marked by specialized terminologies, the use of abbreviations and code ontologies such as ICD, UMLS or SNOMED, implicit contextual dependencies (based on the context, the medication information may be different: temporality, action, certainty, etc.) —pose unique challenges and opportunities. Medical NLP is at critical stakes, given the importance of finding the right diagnosis and treatment for each patient. Moreover, the field of health includes not only the human aspect represented by the practitioner-patient relationship, but also the contact with the biological world (animals, plants, viruses, microbes). This workshop, MLP-LLM, aims to bring together researchers from NLP, medicine, bioNLP and linguistics to explore advancements, limitations, and ethical considerations of using LLMs in medical contexts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Fine-tuning and adapting LLMs for medical applications and for different languages.
* Addressing biases in medical language understanding along with LLM hallucinations.
* Proposing evaluation methods to assess the quality of medical NLP tools.
* Ensuring transparency, interpretability, and uncertainty awareness in medical AI systems.
* Developing domain-specific benchmarks for evaluating LLMs in healthcare.
* Developing applications for LLMs in clinical decision support, medical transcription and communication between practitioners and patients.
Keynote speaker : Natalia Grabar, Université de Lille
We welcome articles that are:
* new contributions,
* state-of-the-art articles,
* work in progress,
* short/translated version of a paper accepted at a major conference.

L’avènement des grands modèles de langue (LLMs) a révolutionné le traitement automatique des langues dans divers domaines, y compris la santé. Cependant, la complexité du langage médical - marquée par des terminologies spécialisées, l’utilisation des abréviations et des ontologies médicales de type CIM, UMLS or SNOMED, des dépendances contextuelles implicites (dans un contexte donné, le contenu médical peut changer en fonction de la temporalité, l’événement ou le degré de certitude) - pose des défis et des opportunités uniques. Le TAL médical peut aider les praticiens hospitaliers dans le diagnostic et le traitement des patients. De plus, le domaine de la santé comprend non seulement l’aspect humain représenté par la relation praticien-patient, mais également le contact avec le monde biologique (animaux, plantes, virus, microbes). Cet atelier, MLP-LLM, vise à rassembler des chercheurs en TAL, bioinformatique, médecine et linguistique afin d’explorer les avancées, les limites et les considérations éthiques de l’utilisation des LLMs dans des contextes médicaux. Les sujets d’intérêt incluent, mais ne sont pas limités à:
* Affiner et adapter les LLMs pour les applications médicales et pour différentes langues.
* Proposer des méthodes d’évaluation adaptées au domaine médical.
* Traiter les biais dans la compréhension du langage médical et les hallucinations des LLMs.
* Garantir la transparence, l’interprétabilité, le niveau de certitude et la responsabilité dans les systèmes d’IA médicale.
* Développer des benchmarks spécifiques au domaine pour évaluer les LLMs dans le domaine de la santé.
* Développer des applications des LLMs dans l’aide à la décision clinique, la transcription médicale et la communication entre les praticiens et les patients.
Keynote speaker : Natalia Grabar, Université de Lille
Les types d'article acceptés sont:
* contribution nouvelle,
* état de l'art,
* travaux en cours,
