DETAILS
The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum where work on all aspects of computational work on anaphora resolution and annotation, including both coreference and types of anaphora such as bridging references resolution and discourse deixis, can be presented.
TOPICS
- all aspects of annotation, resolution and evaluation of anaphora, coreference and other reference relations
- coreference resolution for less-researched languages
- interpretation of anaphoric relations, including relations other than identity coreference (e.g., bridging references)
- investigation of difficult cases of anaphora and their resolution
- coreference resolution in noisy data (e.g. in social media)
- new applications of coreference resolution
- Universal Anaphora
CRAC 2023 SHARED TASK
CRAC 2023 will also feature presentation of the results of the Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution, with 17 coreference datasets for 12 languages harmonized under a common CorefUD scheme.
IMPORTANT DATES:
- Workshop papers due: September 1, 2023
- Notification of acceptance: October 6, 2023
- Camera-ready papers due: October 18, 2023
- Workshop date: December 6–7, 2023
PAPER CATEGORIES:
We welcome papers in the following categories:
- Research papers (theoretical computational linguistics, empirical/data-driven approaches, paradigms/techniques/strategies, analysis papers, resources and evaluation, negative result)
- Survey papers (surveys a popular or emerging area of anaphora/coreference resolution)
- Position papers (presents one side of an arguable opinion about an issue)
- Challenge papers (a challenge to the field in terms of setting out a goal for the next 5/10/20 years)
- Demo papers (systems, tools, visualizations)
- Extended abstracts (describe work in progress)
Research papers, survey papers, position papers, and challenge papers can have up to 8 pages of content for long papers and up to 4 pages of content for short papers, plus an unlimited number of pages for references. Demo papers can have up to 4 pages of content plus an unlimited number of pages for references. Extended abstracts can have up to 2 pages of content plus an unlimited number of pages for references.
You can also include a supplementary document and/or (sample) data along with your paper. Essentially, materials that can help the program committee make a better determination of the quality of your submission. Code/data submission is strongly encouarged for resource/evaluation papers.
All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Final versions of all types of papers will be given one additional page of content.
DOUBLE SUBMISSION:
We allow for double submissions. Please indicate during submission to which other conference or workshop your work has been submitted.
We also invite authors of papers accepted to Findings of the main conferences (e.g. ACL, NAACL, EMNLP) to present their work at the workshop. It these papers were removed from the Findings, they can be included in the proceedings of the workshop without additional review.
SUBMISSION LINK:
Please submit your paper to SoftConf. All submissions must follow the EMNLP 2023 formatting instructions
