Instructions for participation

If you are interested in participating in the GeoLingIt shared task, please fill out the expression of interest form at EVALITA indicating "GeoLingIt – Geolocation of Linguistic Variation in Italy" as preference. We will send to you the link to join the dedicated Google Group, where you can keep in touch with us and ask any shared task-related questions. Moreover, you can specify which area interests you in case you would like to participate in the special track. You will also find information about how to obtain the data (available from Feb 7th, 2023).

Note that registration is non-binding but participation implies:

• submitting your predictions (max 3 per track & subtask, see task description) during the evaluation window (see important dates)

• writing a report (paper of max 6 pages following a format described here) that summarizes your proposed method(s), the data resource(s) used, details on the experiments, and an analysis of the results. The report has to be sent to task organizers (see important dates) and, if accepted, it will be officially published in the EVALITA workshop proceedings

Update [Sep 9th, 2023] – Instructions on how to obtain the data are now available in the DiatopIt repository.
