Call for participation: Shared Task on Word Embedding Evaluation for Ancient and Historical Languages (SIGTYP @ EACL)
by Oksana Dereza 10 Nov '23

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues, [Apologies for cross-posting] In 2024, SIGTYP is hosting a Shared Task on Word Embedding Evaluation for Ancient and Historical Languages: https://sigtyp.github.io/st2024.html The workshop will be co-located with EACL. Summary In recent years, sets of downstream tasks called benchmarks have become a very popular, if not default, method to evaluate general-purpose word and sentence embeddings. Starting with decaNLP (McCann et al., 2018) and SentEval (Conneau & Kiela, 2018), multitask benchmarks for NLU keep appearing and improving every year. However, even the largest multilingual benchmarks, such as XGLUE, XTREME, XTREME-R or XTREME-UP (Hu et al., 2020; Liang et al., 2020; Ruder et al., 2021, 2023), only include modern languages. When it comes to ancient and historical languages, scholars mostly adapt/translate intrinsic evaluation datasets from modern languages or create their own diagnostic tests. We argue that there is a need for a universal evaluation benchmark for embeddings learned from ancient and historical language data and view this shared task as a proving ground for it. The shared task involves solving the following problems for 12+ ancient and historical languages that belong to 4 language families and use 6 different scripts. Participants will be invited to describe their system in a paper for the SIGTYP workshop proceedings. The task organisers will write an overview paper that describes the task and summarises the different approaches taken, and analyses their results. Subtasks For subtask A, participants are not allowed to use any additional data; however, they can reduce and balance provided training datasets if they see fit. For subtask B, participants are allowed to use any additional data in any language, including pre-trained embeddings and LLMs. A. Constrained 1. POS-tagging 2. Full morphological annotation 3. Lemmatisation B. Unconstrained 1. POS-tagging 2. Full morphological annotation 3. Lemmatisation 4. Filling the gaps * Word-level * Character-level Data For tasks 1-3, we use Universal Dependencies v. 2.12 data (Zeman et al., 2023) in 11 ancient and historical languages, complemented by 5 Old Hungarian codices from the MGTSZ website (HAS Research Institute for Linguistics, 2018) that are annotated to the same standard as the corpora available through UD. For task 4, we add historical Irish data from CELT (Ó Corráin et al., 1997), Corpas Stairiúil na Gaeilge (Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann, 2017), and digital editions of the St. Gall glosses (Bauer et al., 2017) and the Würzburg glosses (Doyle, 2018) as a case study of how performance may vary on different historical stages of the same language. We set the upper temporal boundary to 1700 CE and do not include texts created later than this date in our dataset. List of languages: * Ancient Greek * Ancient Hebrew * Classical Chinese * Coptic * Gothic * Classical, Late & Medieval Latin * Medieval Icelandic * Old Church Slavonic * Old East Slavic * Old French * Old Hungarian * Old, Middle & Early Modern Irish * Vedic Sanskrit Important dates 05 Nov 2023: Release of training and validation data 02 Jan 2024: Release of test data 08 Jan 2024: Submission of the systems 13 Jan 2024: Notification of results 20 Jan 2024: Submission of shared task papers 27 Jan 2024: Notification of acceptance to authors 03 Feb 2024: Camera-ready 15 Mar 2024: Video recordings due 21/22 Mar 2024: SIGTYP workshop Important links * Registration form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdINgMfzzZGIZ-uBVQhvyndB6yeaaj-wT7…> * Data + detailed description: https://github.com/sigtyp/ST2024 Task organisers * Oksana Dereza, Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics, Data Science Institute, University of Galway * Priya Rani, SFI Centre for Research and Training in AI, Data Science Institute, University of Galway * Atul Kr.
