The 10th Workshop on Noisy and User-generated Text (W-NUT)
May 3 or 4, 2025 (TBD) — collocated with NAACL 2025.
The WNUT workshop focuses on core NLP tasks (e.g., POS/NER tagging and translation; not computational social science) over user-generated text, such as that found on social media, web forums, online reviews, digital health records, or language learner essays.

Shared Task
This year, we host MultiLexNorm 2: a shared task on multi-lingual lexical normalization with a focus on non Indo-european languages. After the success of our first MultiLexNorm shared task held in 2021, we have extended our benchmark to more varied languages. More information about MultiLexNorm 2
