Topics

We invite contributions on a wide range of topics related to NLP and Wikipedia, including but not limited to:

Wikipedia text analysis and understanding
Text generation and summarization for Wikipedia articles
Multilingual and cross-lingual approaches for Wikipedia content
Quality assessment and vandalism detection in Wikipedia
Recommendation systems for Wikipedia content
Semantic enrichment and entity linking in Wikipedia
Applications of NLP for structured data in Wikimedia projects
Misinformation detection for Wikipedia
Ethical considerations and biases in NLP for Wikipedia
Impact of LLMs on Wikipedia's communities
Human-AI collaboration for improving Wikipedia content
Benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics
Knowledge-intensive NLP over Wikipedia content

We also encourage papers that include the creation of new datasets relevant to NLP tasks to support the Wikimedia communities. For example:

References across languages by topic
Edit summaries and associated diffs
Talk page discussions and outcomes
Edits that inserted new facts along with the text from the supporting reference

While we encourage use of Wikipedia content, NLP work from other Wikimedia platforms such as Wikisource or Wikidata labels is also welcome. If you have questions about potential research ideas or existing resources in a given topical area, feel free to reach out to the workshop organizers at nlp4wikipedia[@]googlegroups.com and we will do our best to help out.

Submission Guidelines

We welcome the following types of contributions.

Track 1: Novel Works

The papers in this track will be peer-reviewed by at least three researchers using a single-blind review process and published as the workshop proceedings if accepted. We invite the following types of papers (page limits excluding references):

Full research paper: Novel research contributions (8 pages)
Short research paper: Novel research contributions of smaller scope than full papers (4 pages)
Resource paper: New dataset or other resources directly relevant to Wikimedia research, including the publication of that resource (8 pages)
Demo paper: New system supporting the Wikipedia community (4 pages)

Submissions must be as PDF using the ACL template. Papers have to be submitted through OpenReview.

Track 2: Published Works

This track welcomes papers previously published at a peer-reviewed research venue to be presented and discussed in the workshop. They do not have to follow the formatting and page limit instructions from Track 1 and can instead be submitted in the original format.

Previously published papers will be reviewed by the organising committee in terms of the topical fit and prominence of the publication venue. They will not be published as part of the proceedings. We invite the following types of papers:

Full research paper: Previously published research contributions
Resource paper: Previously published datasets or other resources that are important or interesting to the community
Demo paper: Presenting a previously published system critically enabled by Wikipedia

Papers have to be submitted through OpenReview. Please add [PUBLISHED] at the beginning of the title on the submission page so we know that you are submitting to this track.
