The purpose of this series of workshops is to foster research and development of reliable, valid, robust, and practical solutions for automatically detecting descriptions of sociopolitical events, such as protests, riots, wars and armed conflicts, in text streams. This year workshop contributors make use of the stateof-the-art NLP technologies, such as Deep Learning, Word Embeddings and Transformers and cover a wide range of topics from text classification to news bias detection. Around 40 teams have registered and 15 teams contributed to three tasks that are i) multilingual protest news detection, ii) fine-grained classification of socio-political events, and iii) discovering Black Lives Matter protest events. The workshop also highlights two keynote and four invited talks about various aspects of creating event data sets and multi-and cross-lingual machine learning in few-and zero-shot settings.",

The need for precise and high-quality information about a wide variety of events ranging from political violence, environmental catastrophes, and conflict to international economic and health crises has rapidly escalated (Della Porta and Diani, 2015; Coleman et al., 2014) . Governments, multilateral organizations, and local and global NGOs present an increasing demand for this data to prevent or resolve conflicts, provide relief for those that are afflicted, or improve the lives of and protect citizens in a variety of ways. For instance, Black Lives Matter protests 1 , conflict in Syria 2 and COVID-19 related events 3 are only a few examples where we must understand, analyze, and improve the real-life situations using such data.",

Such information involves the quantity and the profiles of the victims, the participating entities, the conflict dynamics, its spatio-temporal characteristics, the weaponry used, as well as infrastructural, technical and human impact. This information extracted through various NLP methods can throw light on the intensity and the trend development of each conflict, as it is reflected in the media. Event detection has been used by political analysts to write their daily situation reports for decision makers, to create long-term analyses, as well as for conflict forecasting and prediction.",

These projects and the new ones increasingly rely on machine learn-ing (ML) and NLP methods to deal better with the vast amount and variety of data in this domain . Nonetheless, automated approaches suffer from major issues like bias, low generalizability, class imbalance, training data limitations, ethical issues, and lack of recall quantification which affect the quality of the results and their use drastically (Leins et al., 2020; Bhatia et al., 2020; Chang et al., 2019; .

Therefore, all steps of information collection (event definition, language resources, and manual or algorithmic steps) may need to be constantly updated. This leads us to a series of challenging questions such as: Do events related to minority groups are represented well? Are new types of events covered? Are the event definitions and their operationalization comparable across systems? We organize the workshop on Challenges and Applications of Automated Extraction of Socio-political Events from Text (CASE 2021) 5 and the shared task Sociopolitical and Crisis Events Detection 6 to seek answers to these and related questions, to inspire innovative technological and scientific solutions for tackling the aforementioned issues, and to quantify the quality of the automated event extraction systems. Moreover, the workshop aims to trigger a deeper understanding of the performance of the computational tools used and the usability of the resulting socio-political event datasets. The workshop is co-located with the Joint Conference of the 59th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 11th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (ACL-IJCNLP 2021).",

However, there is not a comparable effort for handling socio-political events. We hope to fill this gap and contribute to social and political sciences in a similar spirit.

The paper presents an \"end-to-end probabilistic model\" for geocoding from text data. A novel data set has been created for evaluating the performance of geocoding systems. The output of the new model is compared with a state-of-the-art model, called Mordecai. The comparison clearly shows an improvement provided by the proposed model. Scharf et al.

The paper reports on lexical differences between home and Western news sources about protests happening in Hong Kong in the period 1998-2020. Experiments on topic modeling, sentiment analysis, lexical distribution and comparative lexical analysis between Westernand Hong Kong-based sources reveal a bias in the reporting from the Hong Kong press. The evaluation reveals that during the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement reports from Hong Kong made fewer references to police violence compared to the Western media. The study also reveals that the lexical contexts of salient keywords changed in Hong Kong sources when the Movement emerged. Kar et al. (2021) describe an algorithm for event argument detection and aggregation. The paper reports on document level aggregation of the following argument types: Time, Place, Casualties, After-Effect, Reason, and Participant. The Arg-Fuse algorithm is based on a BERT based active learning classifier, which identifies whether a pair of event arguments is redundant, and a Biased Text Rank argument ordering function.

Participants use document collections, provided by the organizers and different from the documents from where Gold Standard has been extracted, to extract place and date of the BLM events in these collections. The event definition applied for determining these events is the same as the one facilitated for task 1. Participants may utilize any other data source to improve performance of their submissions. The goal of the task is to achieve as high correlation as possible with the events from the Gold Standard, as computed by aggregating events on a regular cell geographical grid.. 5 teams that performed the best in Task 1 were invited to participate in this task. In general all participating systems showed low levels of correlation with the Gold standard data, including the baseline system. The low recall at this year's shared task is most probably due to the low coverage of the test corpus, which participating systems have used, and its poor overlapping with manually collected Gold Standard Data. Two systems showed a relatively good performance: NoConflict and EventMiner Hettiarachchi et al. (2021) . The main lesson from this task is that Gold Standard data and test data should be checked for consistency and correlation. Moreover, this evaluation task highlighted some of the current limits on the usability of automatically extracted event datasets for modelling socio-political processes, such as fine-grained geocoding of events.",

The purpose of this series of workshops is to foster research and development in the area of event extraction of socio-political events. The topics cover a wide range of applications and technologies: event detection via text classification, detection of news bias, fake news detection, modality analysis through syntactic parsing, event argument extraction and aggregation, a new geocoding algorithm and the creation of a new geocoding dataset. Most of the papers are dedicated to protest events, one paper is about industrial reports, and one paper discusses generic events, not related to the socio-political topic.",
