2021 The 7th Workshop on Noisy User-generated Text (W-NUT)
Nov 11, 2020 -- collocated with EMNLP 2021.
The WNUT workshop focuses on Natural Language Processing applied to noisy user-generated text, such as that found in social media, online reviews, crowdsourced data, web forums, clinical records and language learner essays. Proceedings of the workshop include 54 accepted papers. Workshop schedule includes additional 24 EMNLP Finding papers.
We organized one shared-task MultiLexNorm: Multilingual Lexical Normalization. Data has been released. Official evaluation submission was due Sep 1, 2021.
Congratulations to the winners of the best paper awards, which are sponsored by Bloomberg this year:
Two runners-up are:

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- NLP Preprocessing of Noisy Text
- Part of speech tagging
- Named entity tagging, including a wide range of categories, e.g. product names
- Chunking of user-generated text
- Parsing
- Text Normalization and Error Correction
- Normalizing noisy text for downstream tasks and for human readability
- Error detection and correction
- Robustness to Noise, both Natural and Adversarial
- Multilingual NLP in noisy text
- Machine Translation of Noisy Text
- Sentiment analysis
- Crowdsourcing of text data
- User prediction, e.g. gender, age, etc
- Stylistics, e.g. formality, politeness, etc
- Colloquial language, e.g. code-switching, idiom detection
- Bilingual translation of the noisy text
- Paraphrase identification and semantic similarity of short text or noisy text
- Information extraction from noisy text
- Domain adaptation to user-generated text
- Geolocation prediction
- Global and regional trend detection and event extraction
- Detecting rumors, contradictory information, sarcasm and humor on social media
- Fairness and bias in NLP models, when applied to noisy inputs
- Temporal aspects of user-generated content (resolving time expressions, concept drift, diachronic analyses, etc...)
All submissions should conform to
EMNLP 2021 style guidelines. Long and short paper submissions must be anonymized. Abstract submissions should include author information (and where the work was published in a footnote on the front page, if applicable). Please submit your papers at the
SoftConf link.
Double Submission Policy: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must indicate at submission time. Authors of a paper accepted for presentation must notify the workshop organizers by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be presented or withdrawn.
