Because of their unpredictable behavior, notably their non-compositional semantics, MWEs pose problems in linguistic modelling (e.g. treebank annotation, grammar engineering), Natural Language Processing (NLP) pipelines (in particular when orchestrated with parsing), and end-user NLP applications such as natural language understanding, machine translation, information extraction, and social media mining.",

On the one hand, the PARSEME shared tasks (Ramisch et al. 2020 4 , Ramisch et al. 2018 5 , Savary et al. 2017 ), among others, fostered significant progress in MWE identification, providing datasets, evaluation measures and tools that now allow fully integrating MWE identification into end-user applications. On the other hand, NLP seems to be shifting towards end-to-end neural models capable of solving complex end-user tasks with little or no intermediary linguistic symbols, questioning the extent to which MWEs should be implicitly or explicitly modelled. Therefore, one goal of this workshop was to bring together and encourage researchers in various NLP subfields to submit MWE-related research, so that approaches that deal with MWEs in various applications could benefit from each other.",
