Hi everyone @ NLP lab (and friends),

I'd like to personally invite you to be a part of an exciting
student-led research project happening this semester at our NLP lab. If
you're looking for a  Bachelor's or Master's thesis, a publication as a
PhD student, or if you just want to have some fun with the others in the
NLP lab, please read on!

**Introduction:**
In our first seminar, I'll introduce an opportunity for you to
participate in a community research project that will result in a
submission to one of the competitions at the SemEval workshop [1].

**Project Details:**
This semester, we'll be working on a solution for one of the tasks in
the SemEval workshop, a prestigious venue known for its impact in the
Computational Linguistics field [2] - it ticks all the boxes for a
high-quality publication @FI. The workshop provides various tasks,
datasets, and a leaderboard-style competition. The top solutions for
each task get to publish their results in a full paper, making it a
high-quality publication opportunity. We will pick the best task for us
to solve by voting on it after a discussion by the second week of the
semester.

**Why Participate:**
No matter your background, whether you're a machine learning expert,
linguist, programmer, or a complete beginner, there's a place for you on
our team. You can contribute to literature research, coding solutions,
or any other aspect of the project. This is a fantastic chance to learn
from each other and gain valuable experience.

**How to Join:**
If you're interested in joining the project, please reply to this email
by 24.9. EoD with "SemEval" in the subject line or apply tomorrow in the
lab in person. We'll set up a voting app, a Git repository, and a
Discord server for efficient communication once we have enough participants.

**More Information:**

Thank you for considering this opportunity. I'm looking forward to
working together on this exciting project!

Best regards,
Ondra
