*The Third Ukrainian Natural Language Processing Workshop (UNLP 2024)* https://unlp.org.ua/

*Call For Papers*

UNLP 2024 https://unlp.org.ua/ will be held *online* on May 25, 2024, in conjunction with LREC-COLING 2024.

The workshop will bring together academics, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of NLP and Computational Linguistics who work with the Ukrainian language or do cross-Slavic research that can be applied to the Ukrainian language.

The workshop will accept research papers for the Crimean Tatar language with the aim of supporting this severely endangered language of the indigenous people of Ukraine. The workshop will also accept papers with negative results.

*Shared Task*

The Third UNLP organizes the first Shared Task on Fine-Tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) for Ukrainian. The aim is to challenge and assess LLMs’ capabilities to understand and generate Ukrainian, paving the way for LLM development in Slavic languages.

In this shared task, your goal is to instruction-tune a large language model that can answer questions and perform tasks in Ukrainian. The model should possess knowledge of Ukrainian history, language, and literature, as well as common knowledge, and should be capable of generating fluent and factually accurate responses.

You can find the detailed instructions, limitations, baseline, and evaluation sample at https://github.com/unlp-workshop/unlp-2024-shared-task.

We invite two types of submissions: long and short papers. Long papers should describe original, unpublished, and completed work. The short papers may describe work in progress, small focused contributions, system demonstrations, new linguistic resources, or experiments based on existing software and resources.

The workshop will provide *Grammarly Premium* to all authors. To request Grammarly Premium, please submit the form provided on the website home page https://unlp.org.ua/.

*Share your LRs!*

When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC-COLING authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).
