IberLEF 2022

IberLEF is a shared evaluation campaign for Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems in Spanish and other Iberian languages. In an annual cycle that starts in December (with the call for task proposals) and ends in September (with an IberLEF meeting collocated with SEPLN), several challenges are run with a large international participation from research groups in academia and industry.

IberLEF 2022 tasks are now closed, and the final meeting will be held in A Coruña, Spain, 20 September 2022, collocated with the SEPLN 2022 conference. This is the IberLEF 2022 workshop program and this is the SEPLN 2022 registration page (there is a single registration for both events).
