Hi all,
We are hiring a Research Associate (post-doc) to work on one of our NLP
projects at the University of Sheffield. The successful candidate will be
expected to lead the design and development of strategies for more
transparent machine learning models to generate accurate cross-lingual
representations for idiomatic language, as well as to contribute to the
design and development of resources and evaluation of downstream tasks,
like machine translation. For both lines of research, you will build on
state-of-the-art approaches based on deep learning.
The applicants should hold a PhD (or be close to completion) or have
equivalent work experience and a strong publication record. Solid knowledge
of Machine Learning models applied to Natural Language Processing and Deep
Learning is required, as is excellent programming skills in Python and deep
learning frameworks (esp. Keras, TensorFlow or PyTorch). Previous
experience developing word embedding models and/or Machine Translation is
also desirable.
Deadline for applications: 07/12/2022

Kind regards,

*IberLEF 2023 -- Call for Task Proposals*
=================================
The goal of IberLEF is to encourage the research community to organize
competitive text processing, understanding and generation tasks, with the
aim of defining new research challenges and advancing the state of the art
in Natural Language Processing challenges involving at least one of the
following Iberian languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Basque or
Galician. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of Natural Language
Processing and related communities are invited to submit task proposals that
fit IberLEF goals *by December 5, 2022.*
Proposals must be submitted (as a pdf file) to iberlef(a)googlegroups.com,
and should include the following fields:
● Title of the task.
● Description of the task, highlighting:
○ Relevance and novelty of the task, and the challenges involved.
○ Evaluation measures, and other relevant methodological aspects.
○ Expected target community, and actual or potential industrial take
up.
○ Related evaluation activities, if any.
○ Previous editions of the task, if any. If it has been organized
previously, what the roadmap is and what the novelties for 2023 are.
○ Linguistic resources to be gathered, created and/or reused. Please
include as many details on data gathering, selection and annotation
procedures as possible: sources and representativity,
training/validation/test sizes, harvesting procedures, profile of
annotators (experts, linguists, crowdworkers, etc.), multiple annotation
policy, IPR issues, baselines, etc.
● Tentative schedule (note that camera ready versions of the
proceedings must be ready *by July 6, 2023*).
● Organization committee: full name and affiliation of the
organizers, with a succinct description of their research interests, areas
of expertise and experience organizing similar events.
● Funding, if available.
● Contact person.
● Any other relevant issues.
*Task organizers duties*
Note that organizers of accepted tasks are expected to:
● Setup the evaluation exercise according to the submitted proposal.
● Promote the task within the target research community.
● Manage the submission and scientific evaluation of the system
description papers of the corresponding systems submitted by the
participants. The accepted papers will be published in
the IberLEF proceedings.
● Prepare and submit an overview of the evaluation exercise.
● Present the results of the task at IberLEF 2023.
*Task selection procedure*
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by members of the IberLEF steering
and program committee, and decisions will be sent back to the task
organizers by* January 16, 2023*.
*Proceedings*
IberLEF 2023 Proceedings including the description of the participating
systems will be published at CEUR-WS.org. Task Overviews will be published
in the journal *Natural Language Processing* (
http://www.sepln.org/en/journal, indexed in Clarivate ESCI and Elsevier
SJR) in its September 2023 issue. Task Organizers are expected to send the
camera ready task and system description papers for their task to
IberLEF organizers
by *July 6, 2023*.
*Important dates*
● Task proposals due: December 5, 2022.
● Notification of acceptance: January 16, 2023.
● Camera ready submissions due: July 6, 2023.
● IberLEF Workshop: September 2023.
