Second call for participation - MentalRiskES@IberLEF2025: Early detection of mental risk
by María Dolores Molina González 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

*Release of trial corpora* *!!* ****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 7th 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.

Call for Participation in Our Upcoming Shared Task: Software Mention Detection (SOMD 2025)
by sharmila.upadhyaya＠gesis.org 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Dear all, We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming shared task, Software Mention Detection (SOMD) 2025 co-located with the SDP workshop, ACL 2025 in Vienna, Austria. This event is designed to encourage innovation and collaboration in the Information Extraction field, focusing on software mentioned in scholarly articles. Task Overview: Software plays an essential role in scientific research and is considered one of the crucial entity types in scholarly documents. However, the software is usually not cited formally in academic documents, resulting in various informal software mentions. Automatic identification and disambiguation of software mentions, related attributes, and the purpose of software mentions contributes to the better understanding, accessibility, and reproducibility of research but is a challenging task. This competition invites participants to develop a system that detects software mentions and their attributes as named entities from scholarly texts and classifies the relationships between these entity pairs. The dataset includes sentences from full-text scholarly documents annotated with Named Entities and Relations. Participation Details: To participate, please register using this link [https://www.codabench.org/competitions/5840/]. All necessary materials, including detailed task guidelines and data, will be provided upon registration.

Call for participation in "Machine Translation Metrics for Indigenous languages" task, AmericasNLP 2025
by ali.marashian＠colorado.edu 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

The AmericasNLP 2025 Shared Task on machine translation metrics for Indigenous languages is a competition intended to motivate the advancement of automatic evaluation metrics for machine translation, with a focus on translation into Indigenous languages. Participants will build metrics to evaluate the quality of translations from Spanish into Guarani, Bribri, and Nahuatl. Many Indigenous languages of the Americas have linguistic characteristics that are uncommon in the languages typically studied in natural language processing (NLP). For example, Indigenous languages can often be polysynthetic, and they frequently lack orthographic standardization, both of which pose challenges for, e.g., the widely used BLEU and ChrF scores. The goal of the AmericasNLP 2025 shared task on machine translation metrics for Indigenous languages is to encourage researchers to tackle the challenge of creating automatic evaluation metrics for MT systems with a focus on Indigenous languages. Shared task description: https://turing.iimas.unam.mx/americasnlp/2025_st_3.html Registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmV9gyab03pGGzzDJ9DohOf9AkDaZf_94… AmericasNLP will be held Albuquerque, New Mexico (NAACL 2025). The workshop date is May 4, 2025. Thanks, Ali, on behalf of the AmericasNLP team

Call for Participation – IWSLT 2025 Model Compression Track
by Matteo Negri 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Apologies for cross-posting We are pleased to announce the Model Compression track <https://iwslt.org/2025/model-compression> at IWSLT 2025 <https://iwslt.org/2025/> (22nd International Conference on Spoken Language Translation, in conjunction with ACL 2025 <https://2025.aclweb.org/>). Motivation Text and speech foundation models have revolutionized many natural language processing tasks, including speech-to-text translation. However, their large size and high computational demands present significant challenges for real-world deployment, particularly in resource-constrained environments such as mobile devices, embedded systems, and edge computing. Reducing the size of large, general-purpose models while preserving—or even enhancing—their performance in specific tasks or language settings is essential for making them more efficient, accessible, and sustainable. The Task in a Nutshell The Model Compression track evaluates participants’ ability to apply model compression techniques to a large multilingual speech-to-text model, the need for accessibility and deployment feasibility with the requirement for good performance in speech-to-text translation. Participants are invited to apply pruning, quantization, distillation, or other compression techniques to optimize Qwen2-Audio <https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-Audio-7B> (8.2B parameters, 16GB storage) for English-German and English-Chinese speech translation. Submissions and Evaluation Submissions under either of the two allowed data conditions (constrained or unconstrained, depending on the datasets used to support the model compression process) will be categorized into five compression bins, ranging from less than 200MB to 4GB of storage demand, and evaluated based on model size and COMET <https://huggingface.co/Unbabel/wmt22-comet-da> translation scores. Multiple submissions are allowed, with human evaluation conducted for the top-performing models. Guidelines, details, and contact information For submission guidelines and further details, please visit the IWSLT 2025 Model Compression track web page <https://iwslt.org/2025/model-compression> or contact us at iwslt_offline_task_submission(a)fbk.eu. Conference Information IWSLT 2025 will be co-located with ACL 2025 <https://2025.aclweb.org/>, taking place from 31 July to 1 August 2025 in Vienna, Austria. Important Dates - Test set release: April 1, 2025 - Submission of system outputs: April 15, 2025 - System description paper submission deadline: April 21, 2025 - Camera-ready deadline: June 1, 2025 - IWSLT conference in Vienna: July 31 – August 1, 2025 Best regards, Matteo Negri (Fondazione Bruno Kessler) On behalf of the IWSLT 2025 Model Compression track organizers: Marco Gaido (FBK), Marco Turchi (Zoom), Sebastian Stüker (Zoom), Jan Niehues (KIT) -- -- Le informazioni contenute nella presente comunicazione sono di natura privata e come tali sono da considerarsi riservate ed indirizzate esclusivamente ai destinatari indicati e per le finalità strettamente legate al relativo contenuto.

CFP: NSLP 2025 – 2nd Int. Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and Research Knowledge Graphs
by Georg Rehm 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

2nd International Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and Research Knowledge Graphs (NSLP 2025) 01 or 02 June 2025 (tbc) Portoroz, Slovenia (NSLP 2025 is co-located with ESWC 2025) https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2025/ Scientific research is almost exclusively published in unstructured text formats, which are not readily machine-readable. While technological approaches can help to get this flood of scientific information and new knowledge under control, the development of such technologies is very complex in practice and hinders the creation of infrastructures and systems to track research and assist the scientific community with applications such as dedicated scientific search engines and recommender systems. The 2nd International Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and Research Knowledge Graphs (NSLP) aims to bring together researchers working on the processing, analysis, transformation and exploitation of scientific language and research knowledge graphs including all relevant sub-topics. NSLP 2025 is a full-day workshop co-located with ESWC 2025 <https://2025.eswc-conferences.org/> to be held in Portoroz, Slovenia on 01 or 02 June 2025 (to be confirmed). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to Research/Scientific Knowledge Graphs (RKGs/SKGs) and other forms of structured scientific knowledge representation Information Extraction for RKGs/SKGs Question Answering over RKGs/SKGs Other types of usage of RKGs/SKGs for downstream applications Scientific LLMs: LLMs for Natural Scientific Language Processing (NSLP) NSLP (monolingual, cross-lingual, multilingual) Language Resources and Language Technologies for NSLP Domain-specific Adaptation of NSLP Methods Information Extraction from Scholarly Publications Classification of Scholarly Publications (document collections, individual documents, parts of documents) Summarisation of Scholarly Publications Scholarly Information Retrieval and Scientific Search Engines Digital Libraries of Scholarly Information Bibliometrics and Scientometrics Micropublications and Nanopublications Important Dates Paper submission deadline: 06 March 2025 Notification of acceptance: 03 April 2025 Camera-ready submission: 17 April 2025 Workshop: 01 or 02 June 2025 (tbc) Submissions The NSLP 2025 workshop invites submissions of regular long papers, position papers, and short papers presenting negative results, in-progress projects, and demos. We especially encourage submissions from junior researchers and students from diverse backgrounds. The workshop invites anonymous submissions of regular long papers (up to 15 pages without references and appendix) and short papers (up to 8 pages without references and appendix) presenting negative results, in-progress projects, and demos. In both categories, position papers can be submitted as well. Authors are permitted to include an optional appendix of up to 2 pages. However, reviewers will not be mandated to review the appendix; all papers must be self-contained. Reviewing will be performed double-blind. Reviewers will not actively try to identify the authors. Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The proceedings of this workshop will be published as an Open Access volume in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), fully sponsored by the NFDI4DS project. At least one author per contribution must register for the conference for presentation as ESWC 2025 (including all workshops) is an in-person event. We will not accept work that is under review or has already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal, another conference, or another workshop. All submissions are done via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=nslp2025 Keynote Speaker Michele Pasin, Digital Science, UK Shared Tasks NSLP 2025 offers three shared tasks: Shared Task 1: MESD: Metadata Extraction from Scholarly Documents The MESD shared task aims to improve metadata extraction from scholarly publications to enhance their FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability). Given training data of 500 labelled scientific documents along with their extracted text, participants are asked to develop models that output metadata of nine predefined labels. A label-free test set of 100 samples will be released for final evaluation, where systems will be ranked based on F1 score using Levenshtein Similarity (≥90%). Shared Task 2: ReadMe2KG: Github ReadMe to Knowledge Graph The ReadMe2KG shared task focuses on fine-grained Named Entity Recognition (NER) in GitHub README files to enhance the NFDI4DS knowledge graph. Participants will develop classifiers to identify 10 entity types, including “Dataset,” “Software,” and “Publication,” from a dataset of approximately 160 README files. The task aims to improve the integration of research-related metadata from GitHub repositories into the research data lifecycle. Shared Task 3: FoRC: Field of Research Classification The FoRC shared task aims to classify scientific documents into (sub-)topics according to a predefined schema. The second iteration of the task (see NSLP 2024 for the first) will focus on classifying computational linguistics publications taken from the ACL Anthology using the FoRC4CL data and taxonomy. Weakly supervised data will be added to FoRC4CL to create a bigger training corpus for classifying publications into 170 (sub-)topics of the field of computational linguistics. The NSLP 2025 website <https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2025/> provides more information on the shared tasks.
