As in the previous editions, EVALITA 2014 will be organized along few selected Tasks, which provide participants with opportunities to discuss and explore both emerging and traditional areas of Natural Language Processing and Speech for Italian. The goals of each task is to compare systems on common data sets applying different approaches and paradigms, to share experiences, foster research communities, identify open issues and explore directions for future research, thus providing significant room for controversial and stimulating discussions.
The participation is encouraged for teams working both in academic institutions and industrial organizations.
