| 150 | 147 | The [https://sites.google.com/site/empirist2015/ EmpiriST 2015 shared task] aims to encourage the developers of NLP applications to adapt their tools and resources to the processing of German discourse in genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC), including both dialogical (chat, SMS, social networks, etc.) and monological (web pages, blogs, etc.) texts. Since there has been relatively little work in this area for German so far, the shared task focuses on tokenization and part-of-speech tagging as the core annotation steps required by virtually all NLP applications. While we have a particular interest in robust tools that can be applied to dialogical CMC and web corpora alike, participants are allowed to use different systems for the two subsets or submit results for one subset only. |
