2️⃣ Autonomously solve full crossword grids

Wordplay meets AI.
#NLProc

Let’s present the tasks at #EVALITA2026!
Eighth up: SVELA 🧠🧽

Can LLMs forget on purpose?
SVELA tackles Machine Unlearning: design and evaluate metrics to verify if a model forgets specific knowledge while keeping the rest intact.

Selective forgetting, measurable impact.
#NLProc

Let’s present the tasks at #EVALITA2026!
Seventh up: MultiPRIDE 🏳️‍🌈🧠

Can a system tell when a slur is reclaimed?
💬 In this multilingual task (IT/ES/EN), classify whether LGBTQ+ terms in context are used with reclamatory intent.

It’s not just about words, it’s about meaning.

Sixth up: DeSegMa-It 🤖📝

Can you spot the line between human and machine?
DeSegMa-It challenges systems to:
1️⃣ Detect machine-generated texts
2️⃣ Segment where the human ends & the machine begins

Human or AI? Let’s find out.
#NLProc

Let’s present the tasks at #EVALITA2026!
Fifth up: Enhanced-VWSD 🖼️📚

1️⃣ Detect implicit contents
2️⃣ Classify them
3️⃣ Classify implicatures

#NLProc

Let’s present the tasks at #EVALITA2026!
Third up: ATE-IT 🏷️

Time to extract key concepts automatically, with the first large-scale eval of Automatic Term Extraction for Italian on institutional texts.

Subtasks:
🔹 Term Extraction
🔹 Term Variants Clustering

Let’s make terminology smarter.
#NLProc

Let’s present the tasks at #EVALITA2026!
Second up: GSI:detect

Can machines detect gender stereotypes in Italian texts?
🧠 Score sentences for stereotypical content
🏷️ Classify them into stereotype categories

From classification to social awareness.
