ACL 2022 Workshop on Biomedical Natural Language Processing (BioNLP)
May 26
The BioNLP workshop associated with the ACL SIGBIOMED special interest group has established itself as the primary venue for presenting foundational research in language processing for the biological and medical domains. BioNLP 2022 will be particularly interested in work on detection and mitigation of bias, BioNLP research in languages other than English, particularly, under-represented languages, and health disparities.

ACL 2022 Workshop on Efficient Benchmarking in NLP
May 26
The main objectives of this workshop are to (1) create a space for critical reflection on current benchmarks and evaluation tools, (2) encourage the development of improved or new benchmarks and evaluation tools that resolve current challenges, (3) develop better approaches to model ranking, (4) rethink benchmarking strategies that best account for computational costs, energy and ethical considerations, out-of-domain language capabilities and meeting the end-user preferences.
