Abstract
The workshop on Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) started in 2020 to accelerate research, inform policy, and educate the public on natural language processing for scientific text. The fifth iteration of the workshop, SDP 2025 was held at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2025) in Vienna as a hybrid event. The workshop saw a great increase in interest, with 26 submissions, of which 11 were accepted for the research track. The program consisted of a research track, invited talks and four shared tasks: (1) SciHal25: Hallucination Detection for Scientific Content, (2) SciVQA: Scientific Visual Question Answering, (3) ClimateCheck: Scientific Factchecking of Social Media Posts on Climate Change, and (4) Software Mention Detection in Scholarly Publications (SOMD 25). In addition to the four shared task overview papers, 18 shared task reports were accepted. The program was geared towards NLP, information extraction, information retrieval, and data mining for scholarly documents, with an emphasis on identifying and providing solutions to open challenges.- Anthology ID:
