The UNLP workshop focuses on advances in Ukrainian Natural Language Processing. The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading academics, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics who work with the Ukrainian language or do cross-Slavic research that can be applied to the Ukrainian language.

 

The Second UNLP will be will be held online in conjunction with the 17th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2023).

 

The workshop is free of charge for the attendees from Ukraine to encourage Ukrainian researchers to attend and submit papers to the workshop.

If you are from Ukraine, please register through https://forms.gle/ESWkVuXo8vg2mwrb6. We invite our non-Ukrainian attendees to register via https://2023.eacl.org/registration.

 

The workshop invites submissions presenting computational approaches, applications, models, and resources for the Ukrainian language or cross-Slavic research. See Call for Papers and Shared Task for more information.

We stand in solidarity with Ukraine

 

UNLP condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the barbaric war that the Russian Federation leads against the Ukrainian people. We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine during these trying times.

UNLP organizers are deeply disappointed by the recent decision made by ACL regarding the inclusion of people under the affiliation of sanctioned Russian organizations in EACL/ACL program committees and workshops. The Russian war against Ukraine has brought immense suffering, devastation, and grief. While these atrocities continue, we strongly condemn giving a platform to those who help perpetuate them, including people associated with the Russian companies sanctioned due to sponsoring the war or conducting research to advance Russia’s military capabilities.

 

UNLP is committed to promoting Ukrainian Natural Language Processing and considers EACL a good platform for scientific exchange. We are not withdrawing from the conference as such action would only limit the opportunities of our Ukrainian authors. At the same time, UNLP urges ACL to reconsider their decision and take action to express solidarity with Ukraine.

Code of Ethics

UNLP honors the ethical code set out in the ACL Code of Ethics. We kindly ask the authors to consider the ethical impact of their research, use of data, and potential applications of their work. Where a paper may raise ethical issues, we ask that the authors include in the paper an explicit discussion of these issues. We reserve the right to reject papers on ethical grounds, where the authors are judged to have operated counter to the code of ethics, or have inadequately addressed legitimate ethical concerns with their work.
