[W4] ALW2

The last few years have seen a surge in abusive online behavior, with governments, social media platforms, and individuals struggling to cope with the consequences and to produce effective methods to combat it. The Second Workshop on Abusive Language Online bring researchers of various disciplines together to discuss approaches to abusive language.

[W5] SCAI

The Search-Oriented Conversational AI workshop aims to bring together AI/Deep Learning specialists on one hand and search/IR specialists on the other hand to lay the ground for search-oriented conversational AI and establish future directions and collaborations.

[W6] SIGMORPHON

The Fifteenth Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology organized by the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Morphology and Phonology provides a forum for exchanging news of recent research developments and other matters of interest in computational morphology and phonology.

[W7] WASSA

The aim of the 9th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment and Social Media Analysis is to continue the line of the previous editions, bringing together researchers in Computational Linguistics working on Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis and researchers working on interdisciplinary aspects of affect computation from text.

[W8] SMM4H

The 3rd Workshop on Social Media Mining for Health Applications Workshop & Shared Task seeks to attract researchers interested in automatic methods for the collection, extraction, representation, analysis, and validation of social media data for health informatics. It serves as a unique forum to discuss novel approaches to text and data mining methods that are applicable to social media data and may prove invaluable for health monitoring and surveillance.

November 1

[W9] BioASQ

The aim of Large-scale Biomedical Semantic Indexing and Question Answering workshop is to push the research frontier towards systems that use the diverse and voluminous information available online to respond directly to the information needs of biomedical scientists.

[W10] BlackboxNLP
