The WNUT Workshop will be collocated with EACL 2024 (Malta). The website for the workshop is at:
The WNUT workshop focuses on core NLP tasks (e.g., POS/NER tagging and translation; not computational social science) over user-generated text, such as that found on social media, web forums, online reviews, digital health records, or language learner essays.
We seek submissions of long and short papers on original and unpublished work (same format and page limit as EACL main conference). All accepted submissions will be presented as posters. Additionally, selected submissions will be presented orally. There will be best paper awards for both short and long papers.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * NLP of noisy text, e.g. POS, NER tagging, Parsing * Text normalization and error correction * Paraphrase identification and semantic similarity of short text or noisy text * Extracting user demographics, profiles, and major life events * Machine translation and Multilingual NLP over noisy text * Information extraction from noisy text, global and regional trend detection, and event extraction * Colloquial language, e.g. idiom detection * Domain adaptation to user-generated text * Detecting rumors, contradictory information, sarcasm and humor on social media * Sentiment analysis * Temporal aspects of user-generated content (resolving time expressions, concept drift, etc...) * Representing and mining language variation in user-generated content * Processing of automatically generated data * Robustness to Noise, both Natural and Adversarial
[IMPORTANT DATES] * Submission Deadline: December 18, 2023 (anytime on earth; dual-submission allowed) * Acceptance Notification: January 20, 2024 * Camera-Ready Deadline: january 30, 2024 * Workshop Day: March 21/22, 2024
