The Fourth Ukrainian Natural Language Processing Workshop (UNLP 2025)

Call For Papers

UNLP 2025 will be held online on July 31 or August 1, 2025, in conjunction with ACL 2025.

The workshop will bring together leading professionals from academia and industry who develop language resources, tools, and NLP solutions for the Ukrainian language or do cross-lingual research that can be applied to the Ukrainian language.

The workshop will facilitate developments in the processing of the Ukrainian language, as well as provide a platform for discussion and sharing of ideas, encourage collaboration between different research groups, and improve the visibility of the Ukrainian research community.

Topics of interest lie in the area of Ukrainian NLP and Computational Linguistics and include, but are not limited to, the following tasks:

morphosyntactic tagging,
named-entity recognition,
syntactic and semantic parsing,
coreference resolution,
information extraction and text mining,
automated question answering and information retrieval,
language modelling and natural language generation,
grammatical error correction,
text summarization,
machine translation,
sentiment analysis,
argument mining,
disinformation detection and fact verification,
development of language resources and evaluation methods,
speech recognition and generation,
knowledge representation and computational pragmatics,
computational semantics,
computational methods for phonology,
cross-lingual models applicable to Ukrainian,
Ukrainian dialects, sociolects, and code-switching,
Ukrainian NLP in interaction with other artificial intelligence technologies.

Note: The workshop will accept research papers for the Crimean Tatar language with the aim of supporting this severely endangered language of the indigenous people of Ukraine. The workshop will also accept papers with negative results.

Shared Task

UNLP 2025 organizes a Shared Task on Detecting Social Media Manipulation. This Shared Task aims to challenge and assess AI capabilities to detect and classify manipulation, laying the groundwork for progress in cybersecurity and the identification of disinformation within the context of Ukraine.

Organized jointly with Texty.org.ua, the task will be based on 9,500 Telegram posts manually annotated for ten manipulation techniques by media experts. The shared task will have two tracks: techniques classification and detection of manipulative text spans.

More details will follow soon. Check for updates at https://unlp.org.ua/.
