Artificial Intelligence for Legal Assistance (AILA 2021)

To be organized in conjunction with FIRE 2021 (fire.irsi.res.in)
December 2021 (Online virtual event)

Registration Deadline: 5th September
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artificial Intelligence for Legal Assistance (AILA) is a series of shared tasks started in 2019 with the aim of developing datasets and methods for solving a variety of legal informatics problems. This year AILA will consist of two subtasks:

Task 1: Rhetorical role labelling

The task is to semantically segment a legal case document. More formally, it is a sentence classification task, where each sentence has to be assigned one of the 7 predefined labels or "rhetorical roles".

Task 2: Legal Document Summarization

Given a court judgement, the task is to generate a summary by selecting the most important content from the judgements.

The Multimedia Automatic Misogyny Identification (MAMI) task at
SemEval-2022 consists in the identification of misogynous memes,
taking advantage of both text and images available as source of
information. The task will be organized around two main sub-tasks:
Sub-task A: a basic task about misogynous meme identification, where a
meme should be categorized either as misogynous or not misogynous;
Sub-task B: an advanced task, where the type of misogyny should be
recognized among potential overlapping categories such as stereotype,
shaming, objectification and violence.

We inform colleagues and students that the training dataset of the is
now available.

The next important dates are:

Evaluation data ready: December 3, 2021
Evaluation start: January 10, 2022
Evaluation end: by January 31, 2022

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Dear colleagues,

The training dataset of the author profiling shared task we organise
this year at the PAN Lab on Profiling Irony and Stereotype Spreaders
on Twitter can be requested via Zenodo:
https://zenodo.org/record/6397037#.YkbSnShBzIU

The shared task of this year will focus on profiling ironic authors in
Twitter (in English). Special emphasis will be given to those authors
that employ irony to spread stereotypes, for instance, towards women,
the LGTB community or immigrants. Given a Twitter feed in English, the
goal will be to determine whether or not its author has employed irony
(maybe conveyed via the usage of stereotypes).

Software submission deadline: May 24
