SemEval-2015: International Workshop on Semantic Evaluations
Call for Task Proposals

We invite proposals for tasks to be run as part of SemEval-2015.
http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/

Starting with 2015, SemEval will run on a two-year cycle, which will give both task organizers and task participants more time for all steps of the process, including data preparation, system design, analysis, and paper writing.

SemEval-2014, the 8th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluations, an ACL-SIGLEX
event, invites participation in a broad range of tasks in the semantic analysis of natural
language. The aim of the SemEval series of workshops is to extend the current
state-of-the-art in semantic analysis and to help create high quality annotated datasets

The first Computational Semantics in Clinical Text (CSCT) workshop is a forum for the exploration and application of medically-oriented computational semantics. Clinical text has unique semantic and pragmatic characteristics -- prototypically describing a physician-patient encounter with entities and events in the real world. Furthermore, large-scale semantic resources (e.g., UMLS Metathesaurus) are well-developed and frequently used, text corpora are increasingly available (e.g., i2b2 NLP Challenge data), and the possibility of tangible medical benefit is of broad interest.
