| | 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.
