CERIST

natural language processing (NLP) challenge

29th March 2023

the event will be held at CERIST, Algiers and also online at:

https://visioconf.cerist.dz/CERISTNLPChallenge
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is at the core of most information processing tasks. It has long history in computer science and it has always been a central discipline of Artificial Intelligence. Recently, with the availability of data and the development of processing technologies (such as GPUs, TPUs, ...), we witness a great increasing success of machine and deep learning algorithms, which has marked the renewal of AI and opened its new era. The success of deep learning algorithms in general and transformers in particular has greatly boosted NLP tasks and changed the landscape of the field which has never been fruitful as today both in the monolingual and the multilingual dimension. In this context, CERIST proposes this NLP challenge to students and teams to solve some hot topic specific tasks. These tasks deal with scientific information and social networks information, we'll provide training and test datasets and we expect from teams to propose deep learning approaches to solve the tasks.
