Call for Papers: CASE 2025 @ RANLP (8. Challenges and Applications of Automated Extraction of Socio-political Events from Texts)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 8th edition of the Workshop on Challenges and Applications of Automated Extraction of Socio-political Events from Text, held in conjunction with RANLP 2025 (https://ranlp.org/ranlp2025/)!

CASE is a leading venue for research, resources, and practical advances in automated event extraction and analysis, focusing on social and political event data. It has been organized consistently in top venues like ACL, EMNLP, EACL, etc.

We invite submissions of research papers, resource papers, and position papers addressing (but not limited to) the following topics: • Event extraction at the sentence, document, or cross-document level, including event coreference. • Creation and annotation of datasets for event extraction. • Modeling event-event relations such as subevents, causal, temporal, and spatial links. • Evaluation of event datasets: reliability, validity, and coverage. • Event schemas and ontologies: population, definition, and enrichment. • Tools, pipelines, and infrastructure for event annotation and analysis. • Linguistic aspects of event representation: lexical, syntactic, semantic, discursive, and pragmatic. • Applications of event data in conflict prediction, early warning, and policy support. • Detection of new event types, including protests, public health crises, and cyber activism. • Bias, fairness, and misinformation in event extraction systems and datasets. • Legal, ethical, and privacy considerations in dataset creation and dissemination. • Cross-lingual, multilingual, and multimodal event extraction. • Use of LLMs and generative AI for event extraction, analysis, and dataset generation. • Release of new benchmarks, datasets, or annotation resources.

All accepted papers will be published in the ACL Anthology.
