Preface on the Third
Workshop on Evaluation of
Human Language
Technologies for Iberian
Languages (IberEval 2018)
IberEval 2018 aims at encouraging and promoting the development of Human
Language Technologies (HLT) for Iberian languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Cata-
lan, Basque and Galician), by creating series of evaluation and a discussion
forum about Natural Language Processing systems on an ongoing basis.
IberEval 2018 is held together with the XXXIV Congreso Internacional de la
Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN 2018)
in Seville, Spain, on the 18th of Sep, 2018. It includes the following six tracks:
• Disability Annotation on documents from the biomedical domain (DI-
ANN). This track consists of the detection of disabilities in English and
Spanish texts, as well as the detection of negated disabilities.
• Authorship and Aggressiveness Analysis in Twitter: case study in Mexican
Spanish (MEX-A3T). This track considers two tasks, author profiling and
aggressiveness detection, both of them using Mexican Spanish tweets.
• MultiModal Stance Detection in tweets on Catalan 1Oct Referendum
(MultiStanceCat). The aim of this task is to detect the authors stances
-in favor, against or neutral- with respect to the Catalan first of Octo-
ber Referendum (2017) in tweets written in Spanish and Catalan from a
multimodal perspective.
• Humor Analysis based on Human Annotation (HAHA). This track is the
first challenge on humor appreciation in the Spanish language, and it
proposes two tasks related to humor in language: automatic detection
and automatic rating of humor in Spanish tweets.
• Automatic Misogyny Identification (AMI). This task proposes misogyny
identification, misogynistic behaviour categorization and target classifica-
tion both from Spanish and English tweets.
• Second Biomedical Abbreviation Recognition and Resolution track (BARR2).
BARR2 track has the aim to promote the development and evaluation of
clinical abbreviation identification systems by providing Gold Standard
training and test corpora manually annotated by domain experts with
abbreviation-definition pairs within abstracts of clinical texts and clinical
case studies written in Spanish.
The 2018 edition of IberEval has had a high participation, in total 118 par-
ticipants shared out the different tracks, submitting 34 papers.
