VinAI Research is pleased to be the main organizer of the W-NUT 2020 Shared Task on Identification of informative COVID-19 English Tweets.

The goals of this shared task are:

  • To develop a language processing task that potentially impacts research and downstream applications,
  • To provide the community with a new dataset for identifying informative COVID-19 English Tweets.

We believe systems developed for this shared task will be beneficial for the development of COVID-19 related monitoring systems.

Creators of systems with valid results that are submitted to this shared task are invited to send a short paper (4 pages plus references) to the W-NUT 2020 workshop at EMNLP 2020, which describes the system. Paper submissions of systems and system descriptions will be published in Proceedings of W-NUT 2020 in the ACL Anthology.
