Ph.D student Suman Dowlagar working under the supervision of Dr. Radhika Mamidi presented the following papers at the 16th conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL) conference workshops. The conference was hosted virtually in Kyiv, Ukraine from 19 – 23 April.
- Graph Convolutional Networks with Multi-headed Attention for Code-Mixed Sentiment Analysis. Proceedings of the First Workshop on Speech and Language Technologies for Dravidian Languages
- OFFLangOne@DravidianLangTech-EACL2021: Transformers with the Class Balanced Loss for Offensive Language Identification in Dravidian Code-Mixed text. Proceedings of the First Workshop on Speech and Language Technologies for Dravidian Languages
- EDIOne@LT-EDI-EACL2021: Pre-trained Transformers with Convolutional Networks for Hope Speech Detection. Proceedings of the First Workshop on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The conference included poster sessions, tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations in addition to the main conference. As the flagship European conference in the field of computational linguistics, EACL welcomed European and international researchers covering a broad spectrum of research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language. The conference also had social activities like birds of a feather, affinity groups, mentoring activities, social games, and satellite events, for all five days of the conference.
