Dear all, I'm pleased to announce our new shared task at ArabicNLP @ EMNLP 2026 in Budapest, Hungry, October 24-29, 2026. AraGenre: A Hierarchical Definition-Guided Arabic Genre Classification Shared Task AraGenre is a challenging shared task designed to test how NLP systems generalise to the unseen through: • Few-shot training and development data • Cross-lingual genre definitions guiding Arabic classification • A large hidden test set of naturally occurring Arabic texts • Unseen genre-definition combinations The task addresses a wider challenge in NLP: building methods that can generalise from limited data and support languages and varieties that remain underrepresented in current NLP research.
