The third RISE UP Online Networking Event called 鈥淢edia Inside/Out 鈥� Perspectives on Minoritised Language Media鈥� will take place online on September 9th, 2024 at 14:00-17:00 CEST.

The CoMeDi (Context and Meaning鈥擭avigating Disagreements in NLP Annotations) workshop will host a shared task. We invite participants to solve two subtasks given a pair of words uses:

Subtask 2: Disagreement in Word-in-Context Ranking (DisWiC)
The task takes a different view on modeling of word meaning by (i) treating WiC as an ordinal classification task, and (ii) making disagreement the explicit detection aim (instead of removing it).
