Our best wishes on behalf of AILC to the organizing committee (Roberto Basili, Malvina Nissim and Giorgio Satta)!
The Italian community has played roles of highest importance in the organisation of the conference, including the general chair of the conference (Nicoletta Calzolari), the workshop chair (Monica Monachini), the tutorial chair (Marcello Federico), and the organisation of the workshop “Computational Modeling of People’s Opinions, Personality, and Emotions in Social Media” (Malvina Nissim and Viviana Patti).
A less positive remark. The presence of the Italian community, according to the data provided by the organizers, consisted of five accepted papers: not many when compared to those from other European countries.
Set in the suggestive environs of the Accademia Pontaniana, the conference hosted more than 120 participants who enjoyed a rich scientific program including talks, posters, discussion sessions, and distinguished invited speakers, such as Joakim Nivre, Mirella Lapata and Walter Daelemans.
Our sincere appreciation on behalf of AILC, especially to the local organizers, for making CLiC-it and EVALITA in Naples such a pleasant experience, and also to the event sponsors.
All the details, including the conference proceedings, are available on the websites of the conference and the evaluation campaign.
