computational lexical semantics

*SEM brings together researchers interested in the semantics of (many and diverse!) natural languages and its computational modeling. The conference embraces data-driven, neural, and probabilistic approaches, as well as symbolic approaches and everything in between; practical applications as well as theoretical contributions are welcome. The long-term goal of *SEM is to provide a stable forum for the growing number of NLP researchers working on all aspects of semantics of (many and diverse!) natural languages.

Topics of interest

Last Call for Participation for ADoBo - A shared task on Automatic Detection of Borrowings at IberLEF 2021

ADoBo is the shared task on Automatic Detection of Borrowings at IberLEF 2021. The purpose of the task is to detect unassimilated lexical borrowings in a corpus of Spanish newswire, i.e. words that have recently been imported into Spanish and that haven’t been assimilated yet into the language (words such as 'smartphone', 'hype', 'social media', 'machine learning' or 'youtuber').

CFP: ADoBo - A shared task on Automatic Detection of Borrowings at IberLEF2021

ADoBo is the shared task on automatic detection of borrowings. For the first edition of ADoBo, we propose a shared task on detecting unassimilated lexical borrowings in the Spanish press, i.e. words that have recently been imported into Spanish and that haven’t been assimilated yet into the language (words such as 'smartphone', 'hype', 'social media', 'machine learning' or 'youtuber').

Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) measures the degree of equivalence in the underlying semantics of paired snippets of text. While making such an assessment is trivial for humans, constructing algorithms and computational models that mimic human level performance represents a difficult and deep natural language understanding problem. The 2017 STS shared task involves multilingual and cross-lingual evaluation of Arabic, Spanish and English data as well as a surprise language track to explore methods for cross-lingual transfer.
