| "text": "Welcome to The Sixth Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP 2021) held with EACL 2021 online. Over the years, WANLP has developed a growing reputation as a high quality venue for researchers and engineers working on Arabic NLP, where they share and discuss their ongoing work. The first in the WANLP series was held in Doha, Qatar (EMNLP 2014), followed by Beijing, China (ACL 2015), Valencia, Spain (EACL 2017), Florence, Italy (ACL 2019), and last year, online, with COLING 2020.", | |

| "text": "In this iteration of WANLP, we received 40 main workshop submissions (28 long and 12 short). While the total number of submissions is lower than WANLP 2020, it surpassed our expectations since we were concerned about a big drop due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the temporal closeness to WANLP 2020 (less than six months earlier in December 2020). All papers submitted to the main workshop were reviewed by at least three reviewers each. Out of the 40 submissions, 27 were accepted: 18 long papers, and nine short papers (one as a demo paper). We selected 16 papers for oral presentation, and the rest as posters. We did not distinguish between long and short papers, or between oral and poster presentations in terms of quality. WANLP 2021 included, for the first time, two shared tasks: The Nuanced Arabic Dialect Identification (NADI) shared task and the Sarcasm and Sentiment Detection in Arabic shared task (ArSarcasm). NADI received submissions from eight teams, seven of which have system descriptions in the proceedings; and ArSarcasm received submissions from 30 unique teams, 17 of which have system descriptions in the proceedings. The shared task system descriptions papers were reviewed by two reviewers each. Two additional shared task overview papers are included in the proceedings. The overview papers and the papers of the shared task winning systems were presented as talks in the workshop.", | |

Also in another first for WANLP, we held parallel sessions for part of the workshop. This was a bittersweet decision: on one hand, we were sad to sacrifice the shared experience of the workshop, but on the other, we were happy to see WANLP growing. . . one step closer to becoming a small conference! Finally, we would like to thank everyone who submitted a paper to the workshop, as well as all the members of the Program Committee, who worked hard to provide reviews on a very tight schedule.
