Following the success of the previous four installments, the workshop is coming back to EMNLP this year. Like the rest of the conference, the workshop will be run fully online this year. This year we received six valid submissions for the main workshop track and accepted three of them. That yields an acceptance rate of 50%, similar to those of previous years (59% in 2018 and 57% in 2019). We also considered several topically relevant EMNLP Findings papers for non-archival oral presentation and accepted at least two of them (see online program for the full list). ",
