information extraction

MedExACT is a shared task at ACL 2026 (BioNLP workshop) focused on detecting and classifying medical decisions in ICU discharge summaries. Using the MedDec dataset, systems must identify decision spans and assign categories from the DICTUM taxonomy. Submissions are evaluated for both accuracy and robustness across patient subgroups, with ACL 2026 registration awards for top teams.

Call for Participation: BioASQ 2025: BioNNE-L (Biomedical Nested Named Entity Linking) Shared Task

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email.]

With the recent advances in the field of Computational Linguistics (CL) brought on by rapid developments in neural models, the goal of this conference is to focus on the application of AI/ML in NLP and CL. The ACLing 2024 aims to bring together leading academicians, scientists, researchers and practitioners from all over the world to exchange new ideas and the latest results in Computational Linguistics and NLP; a field that has become increasingly important. The scope of the conference encompasses the theory and practice of all aspects of AI/ML in Computational Linguistics. The British University in Dubai has been chosen to organize the ACLing2024 conference because it has a mission for establishing itself as a provider of world class scholarship, education and research.

We are pleased to release the Call for Participation - BioASQ 2024: BioNNE stared task on Nested Named Entity Recognition.

The First Workshop on Natural Language Processing For Human Resources will be held on 21 or 22 March (TBD) in Malta together with EACL 2024. The NLP4HR workshop aims to bring together research communities from academia and industry in these interconnected areas to discuss challenges and opportunities associated with the application of NLP techniques in the HR domain. The workshop will feature invited talks, a panel discussion, and presentations of submitted long and short papers.

Workshop submission deadlines:
- Direct submission: December 18, 2023
- Mentorship paper submission: January 5, 2024
- Paper commitment via ARR: January 17, 2024
Notification of acceptance for all submissions: January 20, 2024

To bring the attention of the research community to the limitations of current models at recognizing and characterizing AI vs. human authors, we propose to organize the first edition of IACT workshops under the umbrella of the SIGIR conference. Research works submitted to the workshop should foster scientific advances in all aspects of author characterization.
