Poster and Demo Sessions Oral Presentations Paper for the Online Proceedings
Each NTCIR-16 participating team is expected to present a poster presentation at the NTCIR-16 conference.
In addition to the poster presentation, a few participants for each task will be selected to give an oral presentation of their work at the NTCIR-16 Conference. The selected participants will be contacted by the task organizers.
---See the instructions below.
Each team is required to write a paper for each task that it participated in (not for each subtask). For example, if you participated in the DialEval-2 task and the FinNum-3 task, you need to write two papers. Your papers will be included in the NTCIR-16 Proceedings, which will be publicly available online.
