== 12th NLP4CALL, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands==
The workshop series on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (NLP4CALL) is a meeting place for researchers working on the integration of Natural Language Processing and Speech Technologies in CALL systems and exploring the theoretical and methodological issues arising in this connection. The latter includes, among others, insights from Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research, on the one hand, and promote development of “Computational SLA” through setting up Second Language research infrastructure(s), on the other.
The intersection of Natural Language Processing (or Language Technology / Computational Linguistics) and Speech Technology with Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) brings “understanding” of language to CALL tools, thus making CALL intelligent. This fact has given the name for this area of research – Intelligent CALL, ICALL. As the definition suggests, apart from having excellent knowledge of Natural Language Processing and/or Speech Technology, ICALL researchers need good insights into second language acquisition theories and practices, as well as knowledge of second language pedagogy and didactics. This workshop invites therefore a wide range of ICALL-relevant research, including studies where NLP-enriched tools are used for testing SLA and pedagogical theories, and vice versa, where SLA theories, pedagogical practices or empirical data are modeled in ICALL tools.
The NLP4CALL workshop series is aimed at bringing together competences from these areas for sharing experiences and brainstorming around the future of the field.
We welcome papers:
- that describe research directly aimed at ICALL;
- that demonstrate actual or discuss the potential use of existing Language and Speech Technologies or resources for language learning;
- that describe the ongoing development of resources and tools with potential usage in ICALL, either directly in interactive applications, or indirectly in materials, application or curriculum development, e.g. learning material generation, assessment of learner texts and responses, individualized learning solutions, provision of feedback;
- that discuss challenges and/or research agenda for ICALL
- that describe empirical studies on language learner data.
This year a special focus is given to work done on error detection/correction and feedback generation.
We encourage paper presentations and software demonstrations describing the above- mentioned themes primarily, but not exclusively, for the Nordic languages.
==Shared task==
NEW for this year is the MultiGED shared task on token-level error detection for L2 Czech, English, German, Italian and Swedish, organized by the Computational SLA working group.

2024 CORE Project Workshop Unpacking Efficient Communication: The Roles of
Cognitive Bias and Extralinguistic Context in Referring Expression Choice
When: April 18-19, 2024
Where: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
Language offers a rich set of lexical and syntactic options for reference,
reflecting the different ways we can choose to identify,
describe, categorize, and differentiate the entities and events we talk
about. For example, in any given context, a speaker can choose between a
more or less specific expression (the dog, the spotted dog, the Dalmatian),
or between expressions that convey complementary information about the
referent (the woman, the skier). A well-established line of research
highlights the role of efficiency in referring expression choice. But what
makes a referring expression “efficient”? Efficiency in communication has
been frequently characterized in terms of an informativity/effort
trade-off, with informativity operationalized in terms of inference, and
effort, in terms of cognitive or physical cost (Horn 1984, Levshina 2021).
However, there is also evidence that other factors such as the salience of
visual features (e.g., color, Rubio-Fernández 2016) or the prototypicality
of an entity as an exemplar of a category (see, e.g., Degen, et al. 2020)
can lead speakers to use expressions that are, strictly speaking,
overinformative in the narrowest sense of the term. Efficiency can also be
examined at the level of the whole system; for instance, Brochhagen and
Boleda (2022) argue that the informativity/effort trade-off helps explain
cross-linguistic patterns in colexification, or how meanings are organized
in the lexicon.
The goal of this workshop, supported by the Spanish AEI-funded CORE project
(“COntextual effects in the choice of Referring Expressions for visually
presented entities”, PID2020-112602GB-I00), is to dig deeper into what
makes a linguistic expression “efficient”, considering factors such as:
- Cognitive biases that influence the potential for rapid/efficient
discrimination.
- Potential for exploiting inferences due to choice of one expression vs.
another.
- Information load a referring expression has to bear given extralinguistic
sources of information in the context, especially visual information.
- Lexical/constructional frequency effects and association strength between
RE options and the referent in question.
The workshop aims to give a forum to new and especially exploratory
research in this area. The workshop will include a combination of invited
talks, presentations of ongoing research by project members, and
presentations and/or posters selected in this open call.
We invite submissions on topics including, but not limited to:
- The general principles that intervene in efficient communication,
especially alternatives to or refined definitions of notions such as
“efficiency”, “effort”, and “informativity”.
- Which features of entities or events are more likely to be used for
discrimination.
- The role of the visual context and/or distractor entities in influencing
RE choice; more generally, the role of multi-modal aspects.
- The role of the implicit semantic organization of RE alternatives and the
conventionalized division of labor between them, especially organization
based on implicative semantic relations (e.g. hyponymy, troponymy).
- The factors influencing the choice among alternative
cross-classifications of a target referent (e.g. the choice between
“taxonomic” descriptions such as woman vs. role-based descriptions such as
skier).
- The dynamics between reference and the linguistic system, that is, how
efficient communication is enabled by and at the same time transforms a
given language.
We take a methodologically pluralistic approach and thus welcome
presentations on experimental studies, analysis of corpus data,
computational modeling, critiques or analyses of published research, as
well as position papers.
Invited speakers:
Lilia Rissman, University of Wisconsin - Madison
Paula Rubio-Fernández, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
Sina Zarrieß, University of Bielefeld

[Introduction]
NLP in the age of monolithic large language models starts to hit the limits in terms of size and information that can be handled. The trend goes to modularization, a necessary step into the direction of designing smaller sub-networks and components with specialized functionality. This allows researchers to design scalable, wide-coverage, efficient and reusable models.
Multilingual NLP is today faced with a number of difficult challenges. Scaling a multilingual model to a high number of languages is prone to suffer from negative interference, also known as the curse of multilinguality, leading to degradation in per-language performance, while earlier approaches to improving model capacity have hit the ceiling in terms of hardware, data and training algorithms. At the same time, we as a community wish to foster the development of open components that can be shared, deployed and widely integrated within the broader research community without incurring computational costs that add to the overall carbon footprint of NLP engineering. Modularity is a practical solution to answer all of these challenges and more, as it offers a very promising set of tools towards increased multilinguality of larger foundation models, either during their pretraining or in a post-hoc post-pretraining manner.
[Topics of Interest]
With this in mind, the MOOMIN workshop invites contributions related but not limited to the following topics:
* mixture of expert models and gated routing
* modular pre-training of multilingual language and translation models
* effective transfer with modular architectures such as adapters and hypernetworks
* efficient parallelization and distribution of modular model training
* modular frameworks and architecture implementations
* massively multilingual models with large language coverage
* subnet selection and pruning
* modular distillation
* modular extensions of existing NLP models systems, especially in low-resource settings and for low-resource languages
* evaluation of modular systems in terms of performance, efficiency, and computational costs
* platforms for distributing, sharing, and integrating NLP components

We invite applications for a 3-year PhD position co-funded by Inria,
the French national research institute in Computer Science and Applied
Mathematics, and LexisNexis France, leader of legal information in
France and subsidiary of the RELX Group.
The overall objective of this project is to develop an automated
system for detecting argumentation structures in French legal
decisions, using recent machine learning-based approaches (i.e. deep
learning approaches). In the general case, these structures take the
form of a directed labeled graph, whose nodes are the elements of the
text (propositions or groups of propositions, not necessarily
contiguous) which serve as components of the argument, and edges are
relations that signal the argumentative connection between them (e.g.,
support, offensive). By revealing the argumentation structure behind
legal decisions, such a system will provide a crucial milestone
towards their detailed understanding, their use by legal
professionals, and above all contributes to greater transparency of
justice.
The main challenges and milestones of this project start with the
creation and release of a large-scale dataset of French legal
decisions annotated with argumentation structures. To minimize the
manual annotation effort, we will resort to semi-supervised and
transfer learning techniques to leverage existing argument mining
corpora, such as the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) corpus, as
well as annotations already started by LexisNexis. Another promising
research direction, which is likely to improve over state-of-the-art
approaches, is to better model the dependencies between the different
sub-tasks (argument span detection, argument typing, etc.) instead of
learning these tasks independently. A third research avenue is to find
innovative ways to inject the domain knowledge (in particular the rich
legal ontology developed by LexisNexis) to enrich enrich the
representations used in these models. Finally, we would like to take
advantage of other discourse structures, such as coreference and
rhetorical relations, conceived as auxiliary tasks in a multi-tasking
architecture.
The successful candidate holds a Master's degree in computational
linguistics, natural language processing, machine learning, ideally
with prior experience in legal document processing and discourse
processing. Furthermore, the candidate will provide strong programming
skills, expertise in machine learning approaches and is eager to work
at the interplay between academia and industry.
The position is affiliated with the MAGNET [1], a research group at
Inria, Lille, which has expertise in Machine Learning and Natural
Language Processing, in particular Discourse Processing. The PhD
student will also work in close collaboration with the R&D team at
LexisNexis France, who will provide their expertise in the legal
domain and the data they have collected.
Applications will be considered until the position is filled. However,
you are encouraged to apply early as we shall start processing the
applications as and when they are received. Applications, written in
English or French, should include a brief cover letter with research
interests and vision, a CV (including your contact address, work
experience, publications), and contact information for at least 2
referees. Applications (and questions) should be sent to Pascal Denis
(pascal.denis(a)inria.fr).
The starting date of the position is 1 November 2022 or soon
thereafter, for a total of 3 full years.
Best regards,
Pascal Denis

We are proud to announce the release of CreoleVal - a collection of benchmarks for 28 Creole languages. The collection of datasets span tasks such as relation classification, machine comprehension, machine translation, named entity recognition, and use cases such as language modeling. We cover Haitian Creole, Bislama, Chavacano, Pitkern, Singlish, Tok Pisin, Papiamento, and others.
We hope the NLP community will include this collection of datasets in ongoing & future evaluations of methods directed at low-resource languages. Not only that, we also hypothesise that CreoleVal will open the door for controlled experimentation with transfer learning methodology.
This resource has been long in the making, and was made possible by a long list of collaborators.
