WNNLP'24 proceedings are out!

The WNNLP'24 proceedings are now published, please have a look.

The workshop received 21 submissions (by 31 authors), of which all have been accepted for publication as part of the WNNLP 2024 proceedings (this volume). This constitutes a two-fold increase in comparison to WNNLP 2023, reflecting the rising interest to neural approaches in natural language understanding and generation.

The Programme Committee has selected the paper "Fact or Fiction?Exploring Diverse Approaches to Fact Verification with Language Models", by Tobias Opsahl, for the WNNLP 2024 Best Paper award. In this paper, the author applied novel methods (especially for subgraph extraction) not suggested in the track description. It allowed to outperform state of the art significantly.

The IN5550 course offered three obligatory assignments throughout the semester, with leader-boards of the best-performing submissions published for all of them. This year, the Outstanding Coursework award goes to Vebj?rn Haug K?sene, whose submissions were among the best (ranked as either the first or the second) in each of the three leader-boards.

Congratulations to all the award recipients (and runners-up)!

We remind that all the authors are encouraged to consider submitting their papers to one of the "real" NLP venues: conferences or journals.
