********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we 
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text 
generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless 
the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.

*********************************************************************

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.
Topics

This year we invite all interested teams and individuals to participate 
in the following events:

+    PolEval Competition
	https://fedcsis.org/sessions/aaia/cnlps/poleval
+    Center for Artificial Intelligence Challenge on Conversational AI
