4th Workshop on NLP for Indigenous Languages of the Americas
AmericasNLP 2024 will be co-located with NAACL 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico!
**Call for Papers**
The goal of AmericasNLP is to encourage and increase the visibility of work on the Indigenous languages of the Americas. It aims to encourage research on NLP, computational linguistics, corpus linguistics and speech for Indigenous languages, to connect researchers and professionals from underrepresented communities and native speakers of endangered languages with the ACL community, and, more generally, to promote machine learning approaches suitable for low-resource languages. We invite the submission of:
* Long papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) on substantial, original, and unpublished research
* Non-archival extended abstracts (2 pages), technical reports (8 pages), and work which has been presented at other venues (in the format of the original publication).
Submissions do not need to describe work on native languages directly, as long as it is clear why those can benefit from the described approaches. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
Creation of datasets for NLP applications
Incorporation of external knowledge into neural systems
Linguistic typology and the use of typological features for NLP
Transfer learning, meta-learning, and active learning
Weakly supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised learning
Machine translation of low-resource languages
Morphology and phonology of low-resource languages
NLP applications for Indigenous languages of the Americas
Submissions will be accepted until March 17, 2024 via softconf: submission portal
**Shared Task**
This year the workshop will present a shared task with two tracks:
A machine translation shared task on truly low-resource languages.
A shared task on morphological adaptation to generate educational examples.
More information coming soon.
