3rd Workshop on Processing Figurative Language
First CfP
First CfP
Call for Participation
This is the last call for participation in a shared task on metaphor detection held at the workshop on processing figurative language @NAACL2018.
Metaphor is a commonly used form of figurative language. Consider, for example: "In Washington, people change dance partners frequently, but not the dance" (metaphors are italicized). The goal is to classify all content words in a text as being a metaphor or not, as well as a separate classification task just for the verbs.

The Second Workshop on Metaphor in NLP

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Characteristic to all areas of human activity (from poetic to ordinary
to scientific) and, thus, to all types of discourse, metaphor becomes
an important problem for natural language processing. Its ubiquity in
language has been established in a number of corpus studies and the
role it plays in human reasoning has been confirmed in psychological
experiments. This makes metaphor an important research area for
computational and cognitive linguistics, and its automatic
identification and interpretation indispensable for any
semantics-oriented NLP application.
