Additionally, selected submissions will be presented orally.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* NLP Preprocessing of Noisy Text

* Part of speech tagging
* Named entity tagging, including a wide range of categories, e.g. product names
* Chunking of user-generated text
* Parsing

Text Normalization and Error Correction
* Normalizing noisy text for downstream tasks and for human readability
* Error detection and correction

Multilingual NLP in noisy text

Sentiment analysis

Crowdsourcing of text data

User prediction, e.g. geolocation, gender, age, etc

Stylistics, e.g. formality, politeness, etc

Colloquial language, e.g. code-switching, idiom detection

Bilingual translation of the noisy text

Paraphrase identification and semantic similarity of short text or noisy text

Information extraction from noisy text

Domain adaptation to user-generated text

Geolocation prediction

Global and regional trend detection and event extraction

Detecting rumors, contradictory information, sarcasm and humors on social media

Extracting user demographics, profiles, and major life events

Temporal aspects of user-generated content (resolving time expressions, concept drift, diachronic analyses, etc...) All submissions should conform to EMNLP 2018 style guidelines.
