Hi everyone,
Hope all is well. We are organizing a shared task on Gender Rewriting at the 7th Arabic NLP Workshop (WANLP) in EMNLP 2022 later this year. We extended the registration deadline to August 14th and we are looking forward to your participation.
Summary: The task of gender rewriting refers to generating alternatives of a given sentence to match different target user gender contexts (e.g., female speaker with a male listener, a male speaker with a male listener, etc.). This requires changing the grammatical gender (masculine or feminine) of certain words referring to the users (speaker/1st person and listener/2nd person). In this task, we focus on Arabic, a gender-marking morphologically rich language. The task of gender rewriting was introduced by Alhafni et al. (2022).
For instance, given the following Arabic sentence as input: سعيدة حقا بمعرفتكن يا سيدات (Really glad to know you ladies), four gender rewritten alternatives should be generated to match different target user gender contexts:
