The fifth WiNLP Workshop will be held November 11, 2021 in conjunction with EMNLP 2021 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, in a hybrid (both in-person and virtual) format.
The registration form is available here. The link to attend the main Zoom programming for this event will be made available to registered attendees and through the EMNLP 2021 Underline portal.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of the hybrid platform, attendees who wish to see the accepted presentations, poster session, or socials will need to register for EMNLP 2021. Please fill out this form by October 14 if you are from an underrepresented group in NLP will need financial support to register for EMNLP.
In an effort to make the workshop more welcoming to members of any underrepresented group, the WiNLP acronym stands for Widening NLP.
The 2021 iteration of the workshop will, in particular, seek to highlight women and LGBTQ+ researchers and bring diversity in scientific background, discipline, training, obtained degrees, and seniority.
The full-day event includes invited talks, a panel discussion, a tutorial, and poster sessions. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity for junior members in the community to showcase their work.
WiNLP also offers recruitment opportunities with leading industrial labs. Most importantly, the workshop will provide an inclusive and accepting space, and work to lower structural barriers that make it difficult for underrepresented groups to join and collaborate with their NLP colleagues.
The invited speakers and the panel members will be announced shortly.
