[PsyDefDetect] Paper Submission Guidelines Released / Team Registration Open / Awards Announced

[PsyDefDetect @ BioNLP 2026]

Hi everyone! Three important updates for the PsyDefDetect shared task:

1. Paper submission guidelines are now available: System papers should follow the ACL 2026 short paper format (4 pages) and be submitted via SoftConf by April 17. Details: https://psydefdetect-shared-task.github.io/paper-submission/
2. Team registration form is now open: All teams must register by April 7 (AOE). Teams that do not register will not be included in the official ranking. Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfaZ4PMMicGvXrs_a3oXScYzzk1LipyPNO2m1EQjuta3kGwvg/viewform?usp=dialog
3. Awards announced: We will present three awards — Best System Paper, Best Exploration Paper, and Best Interdisciplinary Insight Paper — with certificates awarded on-site at ACL 2026. Note that strong leaderboard performance is not required for acceptance; we encourage all participating teams to submit a paper.

Final results will be announced on April 8. For any questions, please contact psydef...@googlegroups.com
