David Adelani gave a keynote about text quality for low-resource languages.
We had our first poster session, hearing from some of our shared task participants!
We presented the results of our shared task! We received annotations for over 30,000 document representing over 60 languages. We also showed the results of our LangID dataset and system shared task tracks. Thank you everyone who participated!
We started with a keynote from @juliakreutzer.bsky.social about multilingual fine-tuning data!
WMDQS is underway! Come join us in Room 520A at @colmweb.org! #COLM2025
Looking forward to tomorrow's #COLM2025 workshop on multilingual data quality! 🤩
We will also have a session on our shared task, which was about improving language identification models. Participants of the shared task contributed annotations to create a new LangID dataset and also submitted new LangID systems.
Our third and final keynote will be from @sebnagel.bsky.social about the data in Common Crawl.
Our second keynote will be by David Adelani about text quality for low-resource languages.
Our first keynote will be from @juliakreutzer.bsky.social about data for multilingual fine-tuning.
In collaboration with @commoncrawl.bsky.social, MLCommons, and @eleutherai.bsky.social, the first edition of WMDQS at @colmweb.org starts tomorrow in Room 520A! We have an updated schedule on our website, including a list of all accepted papers.

We've added lots more documents/languages and extended the deadline for the first round of annotations until July 23rd. Check out the details below 👇
One of the biggest obstacles to improving language technologies for low-resource languages is the lack of data. To address this, we need better language identification tools. So, we're organizing a shared task on Language Identification for Web Data! #NLP #NLProc
