Abstract summary: ECIR 2020 was one of the many conferences affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Conference Chairs decided to keep the initially planned dates (April 14-17, 2020) and move to a fully online event. We describe the experience of organizing the ECIR 2020 Workshops in this scenario from two perspectives.

Abstract: ECIR 2020 https://ecir2020.org/ was one of the many conferences affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Conference Chairs decided to keep the initially planned dates (April 14-17, 2020) and move to a fully online event. In this report, we describe the experience of organizing the ECIR 2020 Workshops in this scenario from two perspectives: the workshop organizers and the workshop participants. We provide a report on the organizational aspect of these events and the consequences for participants. Covering the scientific dimension of each workshop is outside the scope of this article.

Overview of MWE history, challenges, and horizons: standing at the 20th anniversary of the MWE workshop series via MWE-UD2024 [39.77194534023391]
Starting in 2003 when the first MWE workshop was held with ACL in Sapporo, Japan, this year, the joint workshop of MWE-UD co-located with the LREC-COLING 2024 conference marked the 20th anniversary of MWE workshop events over the past nearly two decades. Standing at this milestone, we look back to this workshop series and summarise the research topics and methodologies researchers have carried out over the years. We also discuss the current challenges that we are facing and the broader impacts/synergies of MWE research within the CL and NLP fields.
