Writing Your System Description Paper

System description papers are mandatory for inclusion in the final ranking. Here's what you need to know:

Paper Requirements

  • Describe your approach and methodology in detail
  • Report results on all system variants you tested
  • Clearly indicate which results are from your official submission
  • Cite any additional datasets or resources used
  • Follow ACL formatting guidelines

Getting Help

If you've never written a system description paper before, don't worry! We will provide:

  • An online tutorial on writing system description papers
  • Example papers from previous SemEval tasks
  • Support through our communication channels

Remember: Even if your system doesn't perform well, we strongly encourage you to submit a paper. Negative results are valuable to the research community and help advance understanding of polarization detection challenges.
