[Air-L] CASE @ ACL-IJCNLP (online event): Deadline extension for regular papers & last call for shared task participation

[ali hürriyetoglu]

Dear all,

The regular paper submission deadline for the CASE 2021 @ACL-IJCNLP 2021
[1] workshop is extended to be on May 3, 23:59 (AoE) 2021. If you are
preparing a submission please either submit at least an abstract or contact
us (ahurriyetoglu at ku.edu.tr) as soon as possible. This will help us to
organize the peer-review well.

Moreover, you still have time to participate in the shared task on
Socio-political and Crisis Events Detection [2]. The deadlines are the same
(registration April 30, test data release May 4, system response submission
May 8 (12:00 CET), shared task paper May 21).

The keynotes will be:
* Elizabeth  Boschee
Elizabeth Boschee is the Director of the Boston office of the University of
Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute and a Senior
Supervising Computer Scientist in the Emerging Activities division. Her
current efforts focus on cross-lingual information extraction, retrieval,
and summarization, specifically targeting low or zero-resource settings,
e.g. cross-lingual settings with <1M words of bitext or event extraction
from non-English languages with only English training data. Prior to
joining ISI, Boschee spent 17 years at BBN Technologies. As a Lead
Scientist there, she was the chief architect of the BBN ACCENT event coder,
the technology behind the W-ICEWS event data, which more than doubled the
precision (while still increasing recall) of the previously deployed
solution for CAMEO event coding.

* Kristine Eck
Kristine Eck is an Associate Professor at the Department of Peace and
Conflict Research at Uppsala University, where she serves as the Director
of the Uppsala Rotary Peace Center. Her research interests concern coercion
and resistance, including human rights, police misconduct, state
surveillance, and conflict data production. She served as the Director of
the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) 2017-2018 and has been a Visiting
Researcher at Oxford University, Copenhagen University, the University of
Notre Dame, and Kobe University. Dr. Eck’s research has been funded by the
Swedish Research Council, the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social
Sciences, and the Norwegian Foreign Ministry.

We are looking forward to hearing from youo!

Best wishes,

Ali
