Greetings All,

We are delighted to announce SemEval-2026 Task 9: Detecting Multilingual, Multicultural, and Multievent Online Polarization.

Polarization refers to the sharp division of opinions into opposing groups, often accompanied by hostility and exclusion. This shared task aims to advance our understanding of how polarization manifests in text across languages, cultures, and events. Participants will develop systems to detect and interpret polarized content in contexts such as elections, conflicts, protests, and debates.

1st Shared Task on Morphosyntactic Parsing

We are happy to announce the 1st Shared task on Morphosyntactic Parsing, to be held jointly with Syntaxfest 2025.

Morphosyntactic parsing redefines the content-function boundary to differentiate 'morphological' from 'syntactic' elements. In our morphosyntactic data structure, content words are represented as separate nodes on a dependency graph, even if they share a whitespace-separated word, and both function words and morphemes contribute morphology-style features to characterise the nodes. This makes our format independent of wordhood decisions which are not well-defined across languages.

Interested parties are invited to join the mailing list to be involved in the competition. Participating teams will be invited to submit a paper describing their work to the workshop at SyntaxFest and to present it in a special session in the workshop.

While large language models (LLMs) offer to become a viable alternative to traditional rule-based data-to-text (D2T) natural language generation (NLG), they still suffer from well-known neural model issues, such as lack of controllability and risk of producing harmful text. There are many potential solutions to this problem up for discussion.
