We are happy to announce a new shared task on Speaker Attribution in German, as part of the GermEval Campaign, co-located with the Conference for Natural Language Processing (KONVENS 2023) in Ingolstadt, Germany, in Sep 2023. The goal of this shared task is the identification of speakers in political debates and in news articles, and the attribution of speech events to their respective speakers. Being able to identify this information automatically, i.e., identifying who says what to whom, is a necessary prerequisite for a deep semantic analysis of unstructured text. For more information about the shared task, including the task settings, datasets, evaluation metrics and link to the registration form, please visit the shared task website at CodaLab. The SpkAtt-2023 shared task is partially supported by the German Society for Computational Linguistics and endorsed by two of its Special Interest Groups, CPSS and IGGSA.
