The Second Ukrainian Natural Language Processing Workshop (UNLP 2023)

Call For Papers

UNLP 2023 will be held online in conjunction with the EACL 2023 conference in May 2023.

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

We hope that the workshop will facilitate developments in the processing of the Ukrainian language, as well as provide a platform for discussion and sharing of ideas, encourage collaboration between different research groups, and improve the visibility of the Ukrainian research community.

Topics of interest lie in the area of Ukrainian NLP and Computational Linguistics and include, but are not limited to, the following tasks:

morphosyntactic tagging,
named-entity recognition,
syntactic and semantic parsing,
coreference resolution,
information extraction and text mining,
automated question answering and information retrieval,
language modelling and natural language generation,
grammatical error correction,
text summarization,
machine translation,
sentiment analysis,
argument mining,
disinformation detection and fact verification,
development of language resources and evaluation methods,
speech recognition and generation,
knowledge representation and computational pragmatics,
computational semantics,
computational methods for phonology,
cross-Slavic models,
Ukrainian NLP in interaction with other artificial intelligence technologies.

Shared Task

The Second UNLP features the first Shared Task in Grammatical Error Correction for Ukrainian. The Shared Task focuses on correction of grammatical errors and disfluencies, and we see this shared task as an opportunity to facilitate research of GEC for Slavic languages.

You can find more details on the web page of the Shared Task.

Submissions

The workshop will provide Grammarly Premium to all authors. To request Grammarly Premium, please submit the form on the website.

UNLP invites submissions of completed and ongoing projects. Submissions describing resources or solutions that have been made available to the wider public are strongly encouraged. The workshop will also accept papers with negative results.

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 Long papers should describe original, unpublished and completed work.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.

Overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned at the time of submission. The authors should indicate in their submission whether the paper has been submitted elsewhere, e.g., to the main conference. In particular, in case the paper has been rejected by the main conference, it should be indicated in the submission.

All submissions will be judged on correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation, usability, and significance/relevance to the Workshop. Every submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee.

Paper review will be blind. The papers must not include the authors’ names and affiliations. Self-citations and other references that reveal the authors’ identity must be avoided.

Long papers should follow the two-column format of EACL 2023 proceedings not exceeding eight (8) pages of content plus two (2) pages for references. Short paper submissions should follow the same format, and should not exceed five (5) pages for content plus two (2) pages for references.

All submissions must conform to the official style guidelines of EACL 2023 contained in the style files and must be in PDF. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be provided both in LaTeX and PDF format.
