The National University of Ireland Galway is recruiting a full-time, fixed term Postdoctoral Researcher for the project Multilingual Island: Sites of Translation and Encounter (MISTE). The project takes a ‘shared island’ approach to create an in-depth understanding of intercultural encounters in Ireland through the lens of language and translation, comparing settings in Galway and Belfast. The position is funded under the North-South Research Programme. *Project Description* This project will measure multilingual practices to investigate the role of translation in bringing together migrants/refugees and local communities; and to explore the creative potential of translation to raise awareness of cultural diversity in Ireland. The project compares approaches to language and migrant/refugee integration in different sites with a view to informing policy and best practice. MISTE will work in Galway and Belfast to - Measure multilingual practices in sites of everyday encounters between migrants/refugees and local communities (religious sites, sports grounds, community centres, libraries); - Investigate the role of translation (including non-professional translation provided by religious figures, social workers etc.) in everyday encounters between migrants/refugees and local communities; - Explore the creative potential of translation to establish a dialogue between migrants and the community, and to provide a migrant perspective on the theme of Ireland as a ‘shared island’; - Compare how Northern and Southern approaches to migrant/refugee integration impact the practice of multilingualism. The research team comprises researchers in University of Galway (Prof. Anne O’Connor; Dr. Andrea Ciribuco, Dr. Lorna Shaughnessy) and in QUB (Dr. Piotr Blumczynski). The researcher will be based in the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies, located in the Hardiman Research Building in University of Galway and will work on sites in Galway and in Belfast. *Contract duration: 1 February 2023 – 31 July 2024 (18 months)* *Job Description* The Postdoctoral Researcher (PDR) will perform ethnographic observations of religious and sport sites in Galway and Belfast, coordinating with researchers from the QUB team.

PhD position on fairness of NLP-supported clinical decision-making process in healthcare
by Anastasia Giachanou 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

PhD position on fairness of NLP-supported clinical decision-making process in healthcare We are hiring a Ph.D. student who will join the Human Data Science <https://hds.sites.uu.nl/> and NLP <https://nlp.sites.uu.nl/> groups of the Methodology and Statistics department of Utrecht University. Please visit the vacancy at: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-on… *Project description* Text mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems are proving very useful for clinical care and research. Several decisions on patient inclusion/exclusion and coding of key study variables in clinical studies are taken out of the hands of clinicians and put into the care of NLP systems. However, clinical care is not always equitable; for example, women present very different stroke symptoms from men, leading to underdiagnosis and undertreatment of female stroke victims. These inequities are inevitably encoded in the electronic health records (EHR) corpora mined by clinical data scientists. *The aim of this project *is to study the extent to which existing healthcare inequities are propagated by the application of text mining/NLP to EHR records and to develop methods to assess and reduce the impact of the encoded inequities. This project is part of the Gravitation programme Public Values in the Algorithmic Society <https://www.nwo.nl/en/researchprogrammes/gravitation>(ALGOSOC). The Gravitation programme is an initiative by the Dutch government to support excellent research in the Netherlands. The funding is reserved for scientific consortia that have the potential to rank among the world's best in their field. ALGOSOC is a response to the urgent need for an informed societal perspective on automated decision-making. Funded by the ministry for Education, Culture and Science for a period for 10 years, research in the ALGOSOC programme will develop a deep understanding of the systemic changes that automated decision making entails for core public institutions, for society, and for how public values are realized. The research will focus on three sectors: justice, health and media. The programme brings together researchers in law, communication science, computer science, media studies, philosophy, public governance, STS, economy and social sciences from five Dutch universities (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Tilburg, Delft and Rotterdam). Together, the ALGOSOC community will develop solutions for the design of governance frameworks needed to complement technology-driven initiatives in the algorithmic society. *What are you going to do* *Tasks and responsibilities* - Develop, conduct, and publish research on the field of clinical NLP and data science; - Active participation in the research teams of the UU M&S department <https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/methodology-and-statistics> and especially in the groups of Human Data Science <https://hds.sites.uu.nl/> and NLP <https://nlp.sites.uu.nl/>; - Contribute to the public debate and organise outreach activities of ALGOSOC; - Contribute to the overall program in terms of events, research meetings, activities; - Collaborate with other researchers within the ALGOSOC consortium; - Help co-supervising research projects of students working on related topics. *What do we require* - A Master degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or a related field with interest in medical applications, *or*; - A Master degree in technical medicine or similar and experience in NLP; - A background in machine learning and deep learning is a plus; - Strong programming skills; - An excellent written and spoken command of English, as demonstrated by publications in English-language journals (written and spoken command of other languages, including French, German and/or Dutch is a plus); - The ability, willingness, and commitment to do both autonomous and team work; - Experience with organising workshops, lecture series, and similar events; *Our offer* The vacancy is for 1.0 FTE for 4 years. The appointment is initially for one year, starting in 2023, with a possibility of extension after a positive evaluation. The appointment should lead to the completion of a dissertation within four years. The salary ranges full-time from €2,541 to €3,247 gross per month (salary scale P, in accordance with the CAO Dutch Universities). The salary is supplemented with an annual vacation allowance of 8% and a year-end bonus of 8.3%. *Questions* Do you have any questions or do you require additional information? Please contact: • Dr. Anastasia Giachanou (a.giachanou(a)uu.nl), Assistant Professor *Job application* If you feel the profile fits you, and you are interested in the job, we look forward to receiving your application. You can apply online on the university’s vacancy page: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-on… We will accept applications until *16 January 2023* For information on other vacancies of ALGOSOC project, go to https://www.algosocvacancies.org/ <https://www.algosocvacancies.org/> Best regards, Anastasia Giachanou

Call for participation: Edge Hill Corpus Research Group, Thursday 15 December
by Costas Gabrielatos 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Edge Hill Corpus Research Group, Thursday 15 December, 2:00-3:30 pm (GMT), online (MS Teams) Doing Corpus Pragmatics in DART 3 Martin Weisser (University of Salzburg) https://martinweisser.org/mw.html Attendance if free. Registration is now open: https://store.edgehill.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/conferences/events/edge… Abstract The Dialogue Annotation and Research Tool (DART) is a freeware tool that makes it possible to annotate large amounts of dialogue data semi-automatically on a number of linguistic levels, as well as post-process and analyse the resulting corpora efficiently using various corpus analysis methods (https://martinweisser.org/ling_soft.html#DART<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmartinwei…>). Perhaps arguably, the most interesting and important levels of analysis produced by the tool from the point of view of corpus pragmatics are the syntactic and the speech-act level, but DART annotations also comprise information about the semantics (topics), semantico-pragmatic (modes; Searle's IFIDs), surface polarity, (completion) status, and disfluency of units. In this talk, I want to begin by providing a brief overview of the background, genesis and development of the tool. Next, we'll discuss the different levels of annotation, their potential significance in pragmatics, and how they may work together in determining the pragmatic meaning potential in the form of speech acts. I'll then briefly illustrate how it's possible to adapt the resources used for the annotation process to new domains, as well as the steps involved in the annotation process itself. And last, but not least, we'll explore the different analysis options related to speech acts and other patterns the tool has to offer. ________________________________ Edge Hill University<http://ehu.ac.uk/home/emailfooter> Modern University of the Year, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022<http://ehu.ac.uk/tef/emailfooter> University of the Year, Educate North 2021/21 ________________________________ This message is private and confidential.

*IRCDL 2023: Call for papers* *[APOLOGIES FOR MULTIPLE POSTINGS]* *EXTENDED DEADLINE: 19 December 2022 * *STUDENT GRANT AVAILABLE SPONSORED BY ITALIAN ASSOCIATION ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AIIA)* ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IRCDL 2023 The Conference on Information and Research science Connecting to Digital and Library science 2023 (Formerly the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries) Bari, Italy - 23-24 February 2023 Venue: University of Bari "Aldo Moro", Bari, Italy Website: http://lacam.di.uniba.it/IRCDL23/ ================================================================== Since 2005 the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries is a yearly date for researchers on Digital Libraries and related topics, organized by the Italian Research Community. Over the years IRCDL has become an important national forum focused on technical, practical, and social issues. IRCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term “digital libraries”, including new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries may be viewed as a new form of information institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide. Representatives from academia, government, industry, research communities, research infrastructures, and others are invited to participate in this conference. The conference draws from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, social sciences, cultural heritage and humanities, and scientific communities. This year its focus is on Artificial Intelligence and Semantic Web Technologies Empowering Digital Libraries. AI is nowadays pervasive and is being embedded in all kinds of applications. Its techniques – from Knowledge Representation and Reasoning to Machine Learning and Data Mining, from Natural Language Processing to Image Processing, etc. – and application (e.g. for metadata enrichment and data analysis) may cause breakthroughs in DL research and practices for all kinds of stakeholders. Semantic Web technologies are key to exploiting the semantics of information preserved in DLs, thus enabling advanced and personalized services and functionality for its users. Submissions are welcome concerning theory, architectures, data models, tools, services, and infrastructures about the following topics (but not limited to): - Active Learning Techniques to guide DL enrichment and curation - Applications of Digital Libraries - Applications of Machine Learning Techniques to Research Data and DL - Citation Analysis and Scientometrics - Cultural Heritage Access and Analysis - Data Citation, Provenance and Pricing - Data and Information Lifecycle (creation, store, share and reuse) - Data and Metadata Quality - Data Repositories and Archives - Digital Preservation and Curation - Document Analysis (Layout, Text, Images) - Knowledge Acquisition from scientific papers and data - Knowledge Base Construction for cultural heritage - Knowledge Discovery and Representation in Digital Libraries - Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience - Information Extraction from tables and figures in scientific literature - Information Retrieval and Access - Metadata (definition, management, curation, integration) - Multi-media handling - Ontologies - Open Data and Open Science: models, practices, mandates, and policies - Quality and evaluation of digital libraries - Research Infrastructures - Scholarly Communication - Science of Science - Semantic Web Technologies and Linked Data for DLs - Services for Digital Arts and Humanities - Standards and Interoperability - User Participation IMPORTANT DATES *Submission Extended Deadline: 19 December 2022* Acceptance Notification: 20 January 2023 Camera-Ready Deadline: 13 February 2023 Conference: 23-24 February 2023 SUBMISSION FORMAT Research papers, describing original ideas on the listed topics and on other fundamental aspects of digital libraries and technology, are solicited.
