WikiNLP: Advancing Natural Language Process for Wikipedia
Co-located with EMNLP 2024


This is the website for the Advancing Natural Language Processing for Wikipedia workshop, which happened on the 16th of November 2024 as part of the The 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). The workshop took place in Miami, Florida, USA, but was a hybrid event with online participation. Here you can find all important dates, the call for papers, list of speakers and the program of the workshop.

The second edition will be a hybrid workshop at ACL 2025.

Motivation

[edit]

A space both to celebrate Wikimedia's contributions to the NLP community and highlight approaches to ensuring the sustainability of this relationship for years to come.

Wikipedia is a uniquely important resource for the NLP community; it is multilingual, can be freely reused under its open license, and is edited and maintained by a dedicated community of editors who have earned its status as a very high-quality dataset for many applications. With this value comes many tensions however:

  • Despite Wikipedia's presence in over 300 language editions, much focus in language modeling remains on the high-resource languages;
  • Despite the openness of Wikipedia and its role in many advances in natural language modeling, there are concerns that some of these advances such as generative text models could undermine Wikipedia and threaten its sustainability as a community and ultimately data resource;
  • Despite the heavy usage of Wikimedia data among the NLP community, few researchers work on developing tools that can contribute back to the Wikimedia community.

We will invite researchers to contribute novel uses of Wikimedia data or studies of the impact of Wikimedia data within the NLP community. We will also discuss successful approaches to developing tooling that can assist the Wikimedia community in maintaining and improving the breadth of the Wikimedia projects.
