We invite contributions from researchers in computer science, NLP, ML, DL, AI, socio-political sciences, conflict analysis and forecasting, peace studies, as well as computational social science scholars involved in the collection and utilization of socio-political event data. This includes (but is not limited to) the following topics
1) Extracting events and their arguments such as time and location in and beyond a sentence or document, event coreference resolution. 2) Research in NLP technologies in relation to event detection: geocoding, temporal reasoning, argument structure detection, syntactic and semantic analysis of event structures, text classification, for event type detection, learning event-related lexica, event co-reference resolution, fake news analysis, and others with a focus on real or potential event detection applications. 3) New datasets, training data collection, and annotation for event information. 4) Event-event relations, e.g., subevents, main events, spatio-temporal relations, causal relations. 5) Event dataset evaluation in light of reliability and validity metrics. 6) Defining, populating, and facilitating event schemas and ontologies. 7) Automated tools and pipelines for event collection related tasks. 8) Lexical, syntactic, semantic, discursive, and pragmatic aspects of event manifestation. 9) Methodologies for development, evaluation, and analysis of event datasets. 10) Applications of event databases, e.g. early warning, conflict prediction, policymaking. 11) Estimating what is missing in event datasets using internal and external information. 12) Detection of new and emerging SPE types, e.g. creative protests. 13) Release of new event datasets. 14) Bias and fairness of the sources and event datasets. 15) Ethics, misinformation, privacy, and fairness concerns pertaining to event datasets. 16) Copyright issues on event dataset creation, dissemination, and sharing. 17) Cross-lingual, multilingual and multimodal aspects in event analysis. 18) Resources and approaches related to contentious politics around climate change.
**** Shared tasks **** Please check the workshop page for the shared tasks or contact the organizers. The up-to-date list of shared tasks will be announced soon.
*** Keynotes *** We will continue our tradition of inviting keynote speakers from both social and computational sciences. The up-to-date list of keynote speakers will be announced soon.
*** Submission guidelines *** This call solicits short and long papers reporting original and unpublished research on the topics listed above. The papers should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. The page limits and content structure announced at ACL ARR page (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp) should be followed for both short and long papers.
Papers should be submitted on the START page of the workshop ( https://softconf.com/eacl2024/CASE-2024/) in PDF format, in compliance with the ACL publication author guidelines for ACL publications https://acl-org.github.io/ACLPUB/formatting.html. The templates can be found on https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files.
The reviewing process will be double-blind and papers should not include the author’s names and affiliations. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The workshop proceedings will be published on ACL Anthology.

The First *Workshop on Natural Language Processing For Human Resources* will be held on 21 or 22 March (TBD) in Malta together with EACL 2024.
The Human Resources (HR) field involves a range of diverse tasks where Natural Language Processing (NLP) can provide valuable assistance. These tasks include talent acquisition, career growth guidance, performance management, continuous education and training, among others. At the same time, the adoption of automated techniques for HR applications can also pose certain risks and concerns, such as fairness, privacy, reproducibility, controllability, and transparency among others, for which, again, NLP research can play a pivotal role. The NLP4HR workshop aims to bring together research communities from academia and industry in these interconnected areas to discuss related challenges and opportunities. The workshop will feature invited talks, a panel discussion, and presentations of submitted long and short papers. It will also provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to come together and exchange their ideas and experiences through open discussions.
* Important Dates *
Paper submission deadline (Direct): December 18, 2023 Paper commitment deadline (Through ARR): January 17, 2024 Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2024 Camera-ready paper due: January 30, 2024 Workshop: 21 or 22 March 2024 (TBD) *All deadlines are 11:59 PM AoE
* Topics of Interest *
The topics for submissions include but are not limited to: - Automated construction of HR knowledge bases - Parsing, extracting, or inferring information from HR documents (job descriptions, resumes, CVs, etc) - Methods for handling semi-structured HR documents - Representation learning for HR entities (jobs, job seekers, employers, etc) - Search and recommender systems for HR - Dialogue-based assistants/agents/systems for HR - Natural language generation for HR. - Question answering for HR - Bias detection and mitigation for HR
* Submissions *
We invite submissions of both long and short papers that present original and previously unpublished research addressing the challenges associated with the application of NLP for HR. We also consider non-archival submissions upon request (*Please inform the organizers before submitting). Accepted papers will be presented either through oral presentations or poster sessions and will be included in the EACL proceedings as workshop papers.
All regular papers and short papers should adhere to the EACL 2024 submission guidelines, with the only exception being the mandatory inclusion of a limitations section. While we strongly encourage authors to discuss the limitations of their work, we will not reject papers solely for lacking a limitations section.
- Long papers can have up to 8 pages of content, with unlimited references and appendices. Accepted long papers will also receive an additional page of content (up to 9 pages) in the proceedings to incorporate reviewers' comments. - Short papers can have up to 4 pages of content, with unlimited references and appendices. Accepted short papers will also receive an additional page of content (up to 5 pages) in the proceedings to incorporate reviewers' comments. - All submissions must follow the official ACL style format, which can be found at this link: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files - Unlike the main track of EACL 2024, papers without a limitations section will still undergo review for the NLP4HR workshop. Nevertheless, we strongly encourage authors to address the limitations of their work in a dedicated section titled "Limitations." This section should be placed at the end of the main content of the paper, following the discussion/conclusions section and preceding the references, and will not count towards the page limit.
For more detailed information, please refer to the EACL 2024 website (https://2024.eacl.org).
Important Notes: - No dual submission: NLP4HR will not consider any paper that is currently under review in a journal, another conference, or workshop at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be simultaneously submitted elsewhere during the review period. - Presentation: All accepted papers must be presented either in person or virtually at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for EACL 2024 and participate in the workshop.
Submission link: The URL will be announced on our website (https://megagon.ai/nlp4hr-2024/) shortly.
* Mentorship Program and Student Scholarship Program *
The workshop will offer two programs aimed at promoting diversity, fairness, and equality for all participants who submit to and attend the workshop. (1) We host a mentorship program, designed to foster valuable exchanges between prospective workshop attendees and experts working in fields relevant to the workshop's theme. (2) We will cover the registration fees for up to four deserving student researchers. Further details regarding this will be announced on the workshop website within the next few days.
