-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***EVALITA 2023 - Call for Interest***
Following the success of the previous editions, we are pleased to announce EVALITA 2023, the eighth evaluation campaign of Natural Language Processing and Speech tools for Italian.
The general objective of EVALITA (http://www.evalita.it http://www.evalita.it/) is to promote the development of language technologies for the Italian language, providing a shared framework where different systems and approaches can be evaluated in a consistent manner. EVALITA is an initiative of theItalian Association for Computational Linguistics http://www.ai-lc.it/(AILC).
In the context of EVALITA 2023 we are organising the following tasks (https://www.evalita.it/campaigns/evalita-2023/tasks/ https://www.evalita.it/campaigns/evalita-2023/tasks/):

Participants to the tasks will also be provided with training data and will have the chance to test their systems according to the metrics and procedures to be used in the formal evaluation.
The results of the evaluation will be disseminated at the final workshop, which will be organised in Parma on 7th-8th September 2023.
We encourage participation from both academic institutions and industrial organisations.
