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.
News: best paper awards won by:
- Tyler Bikaun, Melinda Hodkiewicz, and Wei Liu. MaintNorm: A corpus and benchmark model for lexical normalisation and masking of industrial maintenance short text
