1st Symposium on Challenges for Natural Language Processing
(CNLPS’23)Challenges for Natural Language Processing Symposium is a series of competitions oriented towards advancing human language technologies. The goal of the symposium is to evaluate natural language processing tools in demanding, non-obvious tasks that address multimodal problems, cross-lingual learning and processing of natural languages that are not widely represented in other evaluation campaigns.
