Call for new Shared Task proposals
We invite submissions of papers describing ideas for future shared tasks in the general area of language generation (Generation Challenges 2022). Proposed tasks can be in the area of core NLG, or in other research areas in which language is generated. Examples include, but are not limited to: data-to-text NLG, text-to-text generation (including MT and summarisation), combining core NLG and MT, combining core NLG and text summarisation, NLG quality estimation, NLG evaluation metrics, and/or generating language from heterogeneous data, including image and video.
The Generation Challenges (GenChal) are an umbrella event designed to bring together a variety of shared-task efforts that involve the generation of natural language. This year, Generation Challenges will be held during a special session at the 15th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2022), scheduled on 18-22 July 2022.
The session will follow the format of previous GenChal results sessions, with presentations of results by the organisers of the generation challenges that are currently running, as well as presentations of proposals for new shared tasks in the Task Proposals Track.
Submissions should describe possible future tasks in detail, including information regarding organisers, task description, motivating theoretical interest and/or application context, size and state of completion of data to be used, schedule and evaluation plans. Accepted shared tasks will be run in the 2023 iteration of INLG.
Important dates:
* Submission deadline: 27 April 2022
* Notification: 25 May 2022
* Camera-ready submission: 18 June 2022
* INLG conference: 18-22 July 2022
All deadlines are 11.59 pm UTC -12h ("anywhere on Earth").
Submissions and format
Submissions in the Shared Task Proposals track should be no more than 4 (four) pages long excluding citations, and should follow the ACLPUB formatting guidelines and template files: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files/tree/master
Submissions should be emailed to inlgmeeting@gmail.com.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. As reviewing will not be blind, there is no need to anonymise papers.
This is not intended to be a selective process, since the aim is to discuss new potential shared tasks with INLG delegates. However, the organisers reserve the right to reject proposals which do not fall within the scope of the GenChal initiative, or which do not follow guidelines.
Accepted submissions will be included in the INLG 2022 proceedings.
