Hey all -- reaching out with an update and reminder on the WikiNLP workshop <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/NLP_for_Wikipedia_(ACL_2025)>:
- We have pushed the paper deadline back to *30 April 2025*. - A reminder that you can send questions to our organizing team ( [email protected]), email me directly, or book office hours with me to ask any questions about the research area, framing, etc.: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ05jfbOqpB-61Nhs7kCLgfYDx4YaxSb8DtjsPXYcr9QWoGu7OVxY3338-yNerJHq77dwCn76w0G - This is a hybrid workshop so while there will be an in-person component on 1 August 2025 in Vienna, Austria at the ACL Conference, we will have virtual participation options as well (though these will still require registration with ACL).
