Tommaso Caselli is an Assistant Professor in Computational Semantics at the University of Groningen. He received his PhD in computational linguistics on temporal processing of texts from the University of Pisa. His main research areas are in discourse processing, event extraction, and (event) sentiment analysis. He is one of the founders of the 'Event and Stories in the News' workshop series, and is currently working on developing computational models and NLP tools to extract plot structures from news. He took part in organizing semantic evaluation campaigns in NLP for English and Italian.

Eduard Hovy is a Research Professor at the Language Technology Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He was was awarded honorary doctorates from the National Distance Education University (UNED) in Madrid in 2013 and the University of Antwerp in 2015. He is one of the initial 17 Fellows of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL). His research contributions include the co-development of the ROUGE text summarization evaluation method, the BLANC coreference evaluation method, the Omega ontology, the Webclopedia QA Typology, the FEMTI machine translation evaluation classification, the DAP text harvesting method, the OntoNotes corpus, and a model of Structured Distributional Semantics.

Martha Palmer is a Professor at the University of Colorado in Linguistics, Computer Science and Cognitive Science. She is a AAAI Fellow and an ACL Fellow. She works on trying to capture elements of the meanings of words that can comprise automatic representations of complex sentences and documents. She is a co-editor of Linguistic Issues in Language Technology, and has been on the CLJ Editorial Board and a co-editor of JNLE. She is a past President of the Association for Computational Linguistics, past Chair of SIGLEX and SIGHAN, and was the Director of the 2011 Linguistics Institute held in Boulder, CO.
