SIGNLL, the Association for Computational Linguistics’ Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning, invites you to submit your papers to CoNLL 2018 (October 31 – November 1, 2018) in Brussels, Belgium.

Topics
We invite the submission of papers on all aspects of computational approaches to natural language learning, including, but not limited to:

2018 n2c2 Shared-Task and Workshop -- Track 2: Adverse Drug Events

We are pleased to announce that Track 2 of the n2c2 shared task will be starting next Monday, July 23.

This task aims to answer the question: “Can NLP systems automatically discover drug to adverse event (ADE) relations in clinical narratives?” The task builds on past medication extraction tasks, but examines a broader set of patients, diseases, and relations as compared with previous challenges. The task consists of three subtasks:

Natural Language Generation (NLG) is in the ascendant both as a stand-alone data-to-text or text-to-text task and as part of downstream applications (see, e.g., abstractive summarization, dialogue-based interaction, question answering, etc.). Only in 2017, three “deep” NLG shared tasks that focused on language generation from abstract semantic representations have been organized: WebNLG, SemEval Task 9 , E2E.
