Third call for participation - MentalRiskES@IberLEF2025: Early detection of mental risk
by María Dolores Molina González 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

*Release of training corpora and registration still open* *!!* ****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.

Iberlef2025: PRESTA Task Call for Participation
by Eugenio Martínez Camara 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call] [Spanish version below] CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - IberLEF 2025 - PRESTA: Questions and Answers about Tables in Spanish We are pleased to announce the first IberLEF task on Question Answering on Tabular Data: PRESTA. The PRESTA shared-task consists of Question Answering over Tabular Data making use of the DataBenchSPA benchmark. DataBenchSPA is a benchmark composed of real-world table datasets from different domains and with large size of rows and columns, as well as a wide variety of data types that allow to assess distinct sort of questions related to each data type. We propose a task to encourage participants to develop a system that answers the questions of the kind present in DataBenchSPA over day-to-day datasets, where the answer is either a number, a categorical value, a boolean value or lists of several types. DataBenchSPA can be used as a training and validation set, while we will release another test set explicitly compiled for the task competition. The system developed by the participants will be provided by a series of (dataset, question) pairs and will need to provide an answer which would then be compared with a gold standard. The answer might be achieved through a variety of methods. In our paper [1] we illustrate two different approaches: In-Context Learning and Code Generation. You may use any of these or come up with your own approach. There will be two subtasks: Subtask I : DataBenchSPA QA Participants will be provided with a dataset (of any size) and a question over it. The question should be answered using the data from the dataset only. Subtask II: DataBenchSPA Lite QA The task is essentially the same as the previous subtask, but involves using the sampled version of each dataset with a maximum of 20 rows per dataset. The question should be answered using the data from the sampled dataset only. For the test set, we will similarly provide a reduced version of each dataset for this subtask. This task is especially relevant when testing for models with a smaller window size. Important Dates Release of training data: 18 March 2025 Release of test data - competition starts: 30 April 2025 Submission of the results - competition ends: 12 May 2025 Submission of the description paper: 30 May 2025 Task Organizers Jorge Osés Grijalba - Graphext L. Alfonso Ureña-López - University of Jaén Eugenio Martínez Cámara - University of Jaén Jose Camacho-Collados - Cardiff University Codabench: https://www.codabench.org/competitions/5538/ Google Group: CREAR POR JORGE [Spanish version] CONVOCATORIA DE PARTICIPACIÓN EN - IberLEF 2025 - PRESTA: PREGUNTAS Y RESPUESTAS SOBRE TABLAS EN ESPAÑOL Anunciamos por primera vez en IberLEF una tarea competitiva sobre recuperación de respuestas sobre sobre datos tabulares, en particular la tarea PRESTA: Preguntas y Respuestas sobre Tablas en Español. La tarea PRESTA consiste en responder preguntas sobre datos tabulares utilizando como fuente de información el conjunto de datos DataBenchSPA. DataBenchSPA está compuesto por conjuntos de datos de tablas del mundo real de diferentes dominios y con un gran tamaño de filas y columnas, así como una amplia variedad de tipos de datos que permiten evaluar distintos tipos de preguntas relacionadas con cada tipo de datos. Animamos a los participantes a desarrollar un sistema que responda preguntas del tipo presentes en DataBenchSPA sobre conjuntos de datos del día a día, donde la respuesta puede ser un número, un valor categórico, un valor booleano o listas de varios tipos. DataBenchSPA se puede utilizar como conjunto de entrenamiento y validación, mientras que lanzaremos otro conjunto de prueba compilado explícitamente para la competencia de tareas. El sistema desarrollado por los participantes estará compuesto por una serie de pares (conjunto de datos, preguntas) y deberá proporcionar una respuesta que luego se comparará con un respuesta de referencia. La respuesta podría lograrse mediante una variedad de métodos. En nuestro artículo [1] ilustramos dos enfoques diferentes: aprendizaje en contexto y generación de código. Puede utilizar cualquiera de estos o crear su propio enfoque. Subtareas: Subtarea I: DataBenchSPA completo Los participantes recibirán un conjunto de datos (de cualquier tamaño) y una pregunta sobre él. La pregunta debe responderse utilizando únicamente los datos del conjunto de datos. Subtarea II: DataBenchSPA Reducido La tarea es esencialmente la misma que la subtarea anterior, pero implica utilizar la versión muestreada de cada conjunto de datos con un máximo de 20 filas por conjunto de datos. La pregunta debe responderse utilizando únicamente los datos del conjunto de datos muestreado. Para el conjunto de prueba, proporcionaremos de manera similar una versión reducida de cada conjunto de datos para esta subtarea. Esta tarea es especialmente relevante cuando se prueban modelos con un tamaño de contexto más pequeño. Fechas Importantes Publicación de datos de entrenamiento: 18 de marzo de 2025 Publicación de datos de prueba - inicio de la competición: 30 de abril de 2025 Envío de resultados - finalización de la competición: 12 de mayo de 2025 Presentación del artículo de descripción del sistema: 30 de mayo de 2025 Organizadores de tareas Jorge Osés Grijalba - Graphext L.

Second call for paper: BriGap-2, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics (an IWCS 2025 workshop)
by Timothée Bernard 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Second call for paper: *BriGap-2, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics* (an IWCS 2025 workshop) (with our apologies for cross-posting) Venue: IWCS 2025 (https://iwcs2025.github.io/), Düsseldorf, Germany Date: *September 24th, 2025* (main conference: 22nd-23rd) Workshop website: https://brigap-workshop.github.io/ BriGap-2 is a venue for linguists and NLP scientists to meet: what fruitful interactions can we have? How do we build upon each other’s work? * Description * In recent years, the natural language processing (NLP) community has shifted its focus towards engineering questions. This state of affairs is in no small part due to the recent technical advances that have transformed NLP as a field. In the current large language model (LLM) era, much of what was deemed near impossible to achieve a few years prior is now taken for granted and it stands to reason that mapping how far ahead new computational models have advanced the field has become a central topic for the NLP community. Hence, the current ongoing discourse in NLP focuses more on what can be achieved through language rather than studying language for its own sake. It seems thus that computational and formal linguistics are now separate domains, and that the former is no longer rooted in the latter. To what extent are these traditions truly divorced, and what fruitful bridges can be (re)built? To answer these questions, the second iteration of the workshop on Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics (BriGap-2) intends to provide a space for formal linguists, computational linguists, and NLP scientists to exchange their perspectives on how their different domains of research can build upon one another. * Workshop topics * - investigation of the linguistic properties of machine learning models, - linguistic representations, vector space semantics, and their relations with theoretical concepts such as compositionality, - use of information-theoretical and computational methods for linguistic inquiry, - formal distributional semantics and neural-symbolic integration for NLP, - formal grammars, symbolic structures and their applications for computational linguistics and NLP, - trends in the history of computational linguistics and NLP, - … * Invited speakers * - Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen - Kees VAN DEEMTER, Universiteit Utrecht * Submission details * The workshop accepts both archival (original and unpublished research) and non-archival (work-in-progress, dissemination of research published or accepted elsewhere, etc.) submissions in either short (up to 4 pages) or long (up to 8 pages) format. Camera-ready versions of papers will be given one additional page of content so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. Each submission should mention whether it targets archival or non-archival status. Archival papers accepted at BriGap-2 will be indexed in the ACL Anthology. Please use the ACL style templates available here: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files The submissions need to be done in PDF format via OpenReview, using the following link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Workshop/BriGap-2 * Important dates * - Submission deadline:* Friday, June 6th 2025* - Notification of acceptance: Friday, August 1st 2025 - Workshop: *September 24th, 2025* (main conference: 22nd-23rd) * Contact * For questions, please send an email to brigapworkshop(a)gmail.com or contact one of the workshop chairs: - Timothée Bernard, Université Paris Cité, timothee.bernard(a)u-paris.fr - Timothee Mickus, University of Helsinki, timothee.mickus(a)helsinki.fi - Grégoire Winterstein, Université du Québec à Montréal, winterstein.gregoire(a)uqam.ca
