The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) is partnering with Kaggle to host a competition aimed at automatically answering 8th grade level science exam questions. AI2 is offering a top prize of $50,000 to the team that can achieve the highest score on our test question set -- this is a great opportunity for students working in fields like natural language processing or machine learning to try their hand at answering a large collection of multiple-choice questions using automated systems they construct and train over the course of the competition.

RANLP (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing) has established itself over the years as one of the most influential and competitive NLP conferences. The event is held biennially and grew out of the International summer schools "Contemporary topics in Computational Linguistics", which were organised for many years as training events. Selected papers from most RANLP conferences have been regularly published in a volume as part of John Benjamins’ series “Current Trends of Linguistic Research”.

Every day, approximately 3000 new bio-medical articles are published on the Web. This averages to more than 2 articles every minute. In addition to the sheer amount of bio-medical information available on the Web, the variety of this information increases everyday and ranges from structured data in the form of ontologies to unstructured data in the form of documents.

SemEval-3
6th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluations
2nd Call for Task Proposals - Extended Deadline
The SemEval Programme committee invites proposals for tasks to be run as part of SemEval-3. We welcome tasks that can test an automatic system for semantic analysis of text, be it application dependent or independent. We especially welcome tasks for different languages and cross-lingual tasks.
For SemEval-3 we particularly encourage the following aspects in task design:
Reuse of existing annotations and training data
