The Computational SLA working group invites you to participate in the first shared task on Multilingual Grammatical Error Detection, MultiGED-2023, which includes five languages: Czech, English, German, Italian and Swedish.

The aim of this shared task is to detect tokens in need of correction across five different languages, labeling them as either correct ("c") or incorrect ("i"), i.e. performing binary classification at the token level. You can work on one of the provided languages or any combination of languages.
