Meeting Description:
SemEval-2020 (International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation) Call for Task Proposals
Call for Papers:
SemEval-2020: International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation
Call for Task Proposals
Please kindly note that due to the space limit here, the full version of call for proposals can be found instead at:
http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2019/index.php?id=semeval-2020-call-for-task-proposals For other *very important* information such as Content of Proposals, Task Selection, New Tasks vs. Task Reruns, and Task Organization, please check the above link for the full version.
We invite proposals for tasks to be run as part of SemEval-2020. SemEval (the International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation) is an ongoing series of evaluations of computational semantics systems, organized under the umbrella of SIGLEX, the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics.
For SemEval-2020, we welcome any task that can test an automatic system for semantic analysis of text, be it application-dependent or application-independent. We especially welcome tasks for different languages, cross-lingual tasks, tasks requiring semantic interpretation, and tasks with both intrinsic and application-based evaluation. See the websites of previous editions of SemEval to get an idea about the range of tasks explored, e.g., for SemEval-2019:
http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2019/ We strongly encourage proposals based on pilot studies that have already generated initial data and that can provide concrete examples and foresee the challenges of preparing the full task. In the event of receiving many proposals, preference will be given to tasks that have already run a pilot study for the proposed task.
We especially welcome tasks that are devoted to developing novel applications of computational semantics. We will encourage tasks that have a clearly defined end-user application showcasing and enhancing our understanding of computational semantics, as well as extending the current state-of-the-art.
