|  | IBEREVAL? 2018: Evaluation of Human Language Technologies for Iberian Languages
 Call for Tasks Proposals
 
 Researchers and practitioners from all areas of Natural Language Processing and related
 communities are invited to submit proposals for evaluation tasks on computational
 problems that involve text processing in at least one of the following Iberian languages:
 Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Basque and Galician. The outcome of accepted tasks will be
 discussed in the IBEREVAL workshop to be held in conjunction with SEPLN 2018 in Seville
 (Spain) in September.
 
 Two types of proposals are expected:
 ? Standard evaluation campaigns in the style of TREC, CLEF, SemEval, NTCIR, or FIRE
 evaluation exercises.
 ? More exploratory initiatives that aim to settle the foundations for future evaluation
 campaigns, discussing tasks, methodologies, metrics, test collections, etc.
 
 Proposals should include the following information:
 ? Title of the track.
 ? Name(s) of organizers and contact details, with one?paragraph statements of their
 research interests, areas of expertise, and experience in organizing related events.
 ? Brief description of the task goal, including their significance for the field and the
 expected target audience.
 ? Arrangements for the organization of the task: who will be responsible for which
 activities, description of the data or how will data be acquired or created, available
 funding, proposed
 schedule, and any other relevant issues.
 
 Proposals must be submitted to [ibereval2018organizers@listserv.uned.es].
 
 We strongly encourage the Latin America NLP research community to organize tasks and
 participate in IberEval campaigns.
 
 Task Selection
 
 Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the IBEREVAL steering committee, and
 decisions will be sent to organizers by January 31, 2017. At least one of the organizers
 of each accepted
 track is expected to attend the IBEREVAL workshop and present the results of the track.
