Apologies for multiple postings.
=======================================
Dear All,

We invite you to participate in the 3rd* Symposium on "Natural Language
Processing for Social Good" (NLP4SocialGood/NSG) - NSG 2025*, to be held
VIRTUALLY on 25th-26th June, 2025.

*Symposium Description*

Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically, Natural Language Processing
(NLP) is being hailed as a new breeding ground for immense innovation
potential. While scholars believe that NLP has enormous potential for
excessive growth, one question remains: how can it be used for the better
welfare of the society? Researchers believe that NLP-based technologies
could help to solve societal issues such as equality and inclusion,
education, health, and hunger, and climate action etc. and many more.
Tackling these questions requires a concerted, collaborative effort across
all sectors of society. The Symposium on NLP for Social Good is a novel
effort that aims to enable NLP researchers and scholars from
interdisciplinary fields who want to think about the societal implications
of their work for solving humanitarian and environmental challenges. The
symposium aims to support fundamental research and engineering efforts and
empower the social sector with tools and resources, while collaborating
with partners from all sectors to maximise effect in solving problems
within public health, nature & society, climate & energy,
accessibility, crisis response etc.

This year we invite speakers from academia and industry to provide an
overview of some areas from NLP applications such as healthcare and legal
domains and plan to provide a platform to stimulate discussion regarding
the current state of NLP in these varied fields. We hope to benefit as many
researchers as possible from NLP and interdisciplinary areas who want to
come together and work towards improving society and its issues through
technology.
