			BSNLP 2017 (http://bsnlp-2017.cs.helsinki.fi/) was held on 4 April 2017 in Valencia, Spain
			as a workshop co-located with EACL 2017 conference. Serge Sharoff (University of Leeds,

			acceptance rate: 58%). The proceedings of BSNLP 2017 were published in the ACL
			Anthology at https://aclweb.org/anthology/W/W17/W17-1400.pdf. For the first time, a shared
			task was organised in the context of BSNLP workshop. The task
			(http://bsnlp-2017.cs.helsinki.fi/shared_task.html) focused on recognizing mentions of named
			entities in web documents in Slavic languages (7 languages covered), their
			normalization/lemmatization, and cross-language matching. 4 different systems have been
			evaluated in the context of the shared task.

== Summary ==

The purpose of SIGSLAV (the ACL Special Interest Group on Slavic Natural Language
Processing) established in December 2014 is to stimulate research in NLP and creation of
linguistic resources for the Slavic languages. The SIGSLAV web page located at:
http://sigslav.cs.helsinki.fi maintained by Lidia Pivovarova and Roman Yangarber remains an
important source of up-to-date information on relevant events and activities.

As of 2017 SIGSLAV is meeting at its main workshop BSNLP (Balto-Slavic Natural
Language Processing) , which is held biennally (last in 2017; next in 2019). Our meetings 1
typically attract 30-40 participants and are organized as co-located workshops of major
conferences in the area of NLP and computational linguistics. The last one (6th edition) was
held in Valencia (Spain) on 4 April 2017.

We are continuously elaborating strategies to grow SIGSLAV into a more active community.
To facilitate this task an Advisory Board has been established in 2015. It is also important to
emphasize that support from ACL is of paramount importance for SIGSLAV in the context of
acknowledging that BSNLP is currently the flagship workshop of the SIG.

== Membership ==

Since the establishment of SIGSLAV in 2014, the membership count of the SIG grew to 110
as of July 2017. In particular, BSNLP 2017 workshop held on 4 April 2017 in Valencia in
Spain facilitated recruitment of new members. We intend to use SIGSLAV-sponsored events
to actively recruit new members.
