Games4NLP: Using Games and Gamification for Natural Language Processing

The Games4NLP symposium aims to promote and explore the possibilities for research and practical applications of using games and gamification for Natural Language Processing (NLP). The main objective is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and share ideas regarding how the NLP research community can benefit from using game/gamification strategies. For example, games can be used to collect large numbers of annotations of human language provided that there are sufficient numbers of players who are motivated to play, and these annotations, when aggregated, can be used as labels that replace or compliment the effort of expert annotators. The symposium welcomes the participation of both academics and industry practitioners interested in the use of games and gamification for NLP.
