The First Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP 2023)
co-located with EMNLP 2023 in Singapore.
*What's in a name? To mark our move from a workshop to a conference, we
changed our acronym from WANLP to ArabicNLP.*
Conference URL:

ArabicNLP 2023 invites the submission of original long, short, or demo
papers in the area of Arabic Natural Language Processing. ArabicNLP 2023
builds on seven previous workshop editions, which have been extremely
successful, drawing in a large active participation in various capacities.
This conference is timely given the continued rise in research projects
focusing on Arabic NLP. ArabicNLP 2023 will also feature shared tasks,
allowing participants to work on specific NLP challenges related to Arabic
language processing. The conference is organized by the Special Interest
Group on Arabic NLP (SIGARAB), an Association for Computational Linguistics
Special Interest Group on Arabic Natural Language Processing.
Important Dates
§ May 7, 2023: submission of shared tasks proposals
§ May 14, 2023: notification of acceptance of shared tasks
§ September 5, 2023: conference papers due date
§ October 12, 2023: notification of acceptance
§ October 20, 2023: camera-ready papers due
§ December 7, 2023: conference day
All deadlines are 11:59 pm UTC -12h
(“Anywhere on Earth”).*
We accept long (up to 8 pages), short (up to 4 pages), and demo paper (up
to 4 pages) submissions. Long and short papers will be presented orally or
as posters as determined by the program committee.
Submissions are invited on topics that include, but are not limited to, the
following:
· Enabling core technologies: language models and large language models,
morphological analysis, disambiguation, tokenization, POS tagging, named
entity detection, chunking, parsing, semantic role labeling, sentiment
analysis, Arabic dialect modeling, etc.
· Application: dialog modeling, machine translation, speech
recognition, speech synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy,
assistive technologies, social media, etc.
· Resources: dictionaries, annotated data, corpora, etc.
Submissions may include work in progress as well as finished work.
Submissions must have a clear focus on specific issues pertaining to the
Arabic language whether it is standard Arabic, dialectal, classical, or
mixed. Papers on other languages sharing problems faced by Arabic NLP
researchers, such as Semitic languages or languages using Arabic script,
are welcome provided that they propose techniques or approaches that would
be of interest to Arabic NLP, and they explain why this is the case.
Additionally, papers on efforts using Arabic resources but targeting other
languages are also welcome. Descriptions of commercial systems are welcome,
but authors should be willing to discuss the details of their work.

Dear colleagues,
You are invited to participate ArAIEval shared task on (i) persuasion
technique, and (ii) disinformation detection, in Arabic, which will held
with the First Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (WANLP 2023)
co-located this with the EMNLP2023 Conference in Singapore (6-10 Dec,
2023). You can find detailed information here: https://araieval.gitlab.io/.
Tasks
Task 1: Persuasion Technique Detection: Given a multigenre (tweet and news
paragraph) text snippet, identify whether it contains content with
persuasion technique in a binary or multilabel classification settings.
Task 2: Disinformation Detection Definition: Given only the “text” of a
tweet, classify binary and/or fine-grained disinformation categories.
