CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

We are happy to announce the

2nd edition of the Multilingual Named Entity Recognition for Slavic
languages

URL: http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared_task.html

Sponsored by ACL SIGSlav <http://sigslav.cs.helsinki.fi/>

Email contact [bsnlp@cs.helsinki.fi]

The ACL Special Interest Group on Slavic NLP invites participation in the
2nd edition

of the Shared Task on Multilingual Named Entity Recognition for Slavic
languages.

Results of the shared task will be presented at the BSNLP-2019 Workshop,

to be held at ACL-2019 [http://www.acl2019.org] in Florence, Italy, on 2
August, 2019.

The task aims at recognizing mentions of named entities in news articles in
Slavic languages,

their lemmatization, and cross-language matching.

The 2019 edition of the shared task covers four languages:

-

Bulgarian,
-

Czech,
-

Polish,
-

Russian.


and focuses on recognition of five types of named entities including:

-

persons,
-

locations,
-

organizations,
-

events,
-

products.


The detailed task description and system response guidelines are available
HERE <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/Guidelines-shared-task-2019.pdf>

IMPORTANT: it is not mandatory to participate in the full-fledged version
of the task,

e.g., monolingual system responses without lemmatization of the extracted
named entities

will be evaluated and scored too.

Data Sets

The training data will consist of two moderate-size sets of annotated
documents,

each related to a specific topic (Brexit and Asia Bibi), whereas the test
dataset

will consist of two other sets of raw documents, each also related to a
specific topic,

which will be different from the topics in the training data set.

Registered participants will receive the full annotated corpora and further
information via email.

Registration

Teams that plan to participate should register via sending an email to:
bsnlp@cs.helsinki.fi

which includes the following information:


-

team name,
-

team composition,
-

contact person,
-

contact email.


The registered teams will receive access to data and additional information
related to the shared task.

Publication

Participants in the shared task are invited to submit a short paper to the
BSNLP 2019 workshop (http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/),

although submitting a paper is not mandatory to participate in the shared
task.

All accepted shared task papers will appear in the Proceedings of BSNLP
2019 workshop.
