Towards Ethical and Inclusive Conversational AI: Language Attitudes, Linguistic Diversity, and Language Rights (TEICAI) at EACL 2024 in Malta-March 17-22 2024. Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/teicai2024 Submission link: https://softconf.com/eacl2024/TEICAI-2024/ Conversational language technologies (chatbots, voice assistants, and multimodal conversational interfaces) are becoming increasingly complex and common in everyday life. Various language theories (such as speech act theory, politeness theory, conversation analysis, and interaction theory) have started influencing their development. At the same time, the development of these technologies is often driven by technology-related concerns and tends to overlook users’ needs and socio-cultural contexts. This combined with the scarcity of human rights regulation of AI, raises concerns about linguistic discrimination, exclusion, surveillance, and security risks. In addition, training data for conversational AI mostly comes from written rather than interaction-based language data sets and often does not include gestural, social, and emotional aspects that are fundamental to human interaction. In the same vein, Sign Language is rarely facilitated. To promote a positive impact of conversational technology on linguistic diversity and inclusion, it is imperative to strike a balance between technological concerns and socially relevant matters. Our workshop aims to address these issues by using a holistic approach that involves dialogue and collaboration among technologists, linguists, policymakers, and communities involved in the development and commissioning of conversational AI systems. To foster dialogue towards a multidisciplinary approach to the development of conversational AI that can better serve diverse global audiences, we welcome submissions on a range of topics related to language ideologies and language rights, in relation to conversational language technology and AI (e.g. chatbots, voice assistants, multimodal conversational interfaces). Possible topics may include: - Language ideologies in conversational AI - Language rights in conversational AI - Socio-cultural context in conversational AI - Language inclusion in training data for enhancing inclusivity - Incorporating non-verbal communication elements (gestures, emotions) in AI - Sign language and multimodal conversational AI - Audience design in conversational AI (tailoring systems to meet specific audiences’ needs and preferences) - The sense of human agency and identity while interacting with conversational AI - Addressing challenges and opportunities of conversational AI development (case studies, models of effective collaborations) - Linguistic discrimination in conversational AI - Perspectives of communities affected by conversational AI systems: needs, concerns, and expectations We invite authors to submit original, unpublished work (long, short, and position papers). Each submission will be reviewed by 2-3 members of the Programme Committee. Participants should format their submissions using the EACL template, available for LaTeX/Overleaf and all submissions must be in PDF format. All accepted papers (long, short, and position papers) will be included in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the ACL anthology. Important dates: Workshop paper due: December 18, 2023 Direct Submission deadline (pre-reviewed ARR & main conference): January 17, 2024 Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2024 Camera-ready papers due: January 30, 2024 Proceedings due: February 7, 2024 Workshop dates: March 21-22, 2024 Organizers: Sviatlana Höhn, LuxAI, Luxembourg Nina Hosseini-Kivanani, Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM), University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Dimitra Anastasiou, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, Luxembourg Angela Soltan, State University of Moldova, Moldova Bettina Migge, University College Dublin, Ireland Doris Dippold, University of Surrey, UK Fred Philippy, Zortify, Luxembourg Ekaterina Kamlovskaya, Translatables For any preliminary questions, you're welcome to reach out to teicai2024(a)gmail.com .

Apologies for cross posting *Fourth Workshop on Language Technology for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (LT-EDI-2024) at EACL 2024* *Website link: https://sites.google.com/view/lt-edi-2024/ <https://sites.google.com/view/lt-edi-2024/>* Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is an important agenda across every field throughout the world. Language as a major part of communication should be inclusive and treat everyone with equality. Today’s large internet community uses language technology (LT) and has a direct impact on people across the globe. EDI is crucial to ensure everyone is valued and included, so it is necessary to build LT that serves this purpose. Recent results have shown that big data and deep learning are entrenching existing biases and that some algorithms are even naturally biased due to problems such as ‘regression to the mode’. Our focus is on creating LT that will be more inclusive of gender, racial, sexual orientation, persons with disability. The workshop will focus on creating speech and language technology to address EDI not only in English, but also in less resourced languages. The broader objective of LT-EDI-2024 will be - To investigate challenges related to speech and language resource creation for EDI. - To promote research in inclusive LT. - To adopt and adapt appropriate LT models to suit EDI. - To provide opportunities for researchers from the LT community around the world to collaborate with other researchers to identify and propose possible solutions for the challenges of EDI. Our workshop theme focuses on being more inclusive and providing a platform for researchers to create LT of a more inclusive nature. We hope that through these engagements we can develop LT tools to be more inclusive of everyone, including marginalized people. *Call for Papers:* Our main theme in this workshop is equality, diversity, and inclusivity in LT. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit papers reporting on these issues and datasets to avoid these issues. We also encourage qualitative studies related to these issues and how to avoid them. LT-EDI-2024 welcomes theoretical and practical paper submissions on any languages that contribute to research in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We will particularly encourage studies that address either practical application or improving resources. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* - Data set development to include EDI - Gender inclusivity in LT - LGBTQ+ inclusivity in LT - Racial inclusivity in LT - Persons with disability inclusivity in LT - Speech and language recognition for minority groups - Unconscious bias and how to avoid them in natural language processing, machine learning and other LT technologies. - Tackling rumours and fake news about gender, racial, and LGBTQ+ minorities. - Tackling discrimination against gender, racial, and LGBTQ+ minorities. Submissions: At LTEDI we accept the following submission types: - Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices. Upon acceptance, long papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 9 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. - Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Please note that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers should have a point that can be made in a few pages. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references and appendices. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 5 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. - Poster and demo submissions should be no longer than 4 pages (plus unlimited number of pages for references and ethics/broader impact statement). More information on submission can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/lt-edi-2024/submission For electronic submission of all papers, please use: https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2024/Workshop/LTEDI *Important Dates* - Workshop paper due: December 12, 2023 - Direct Submission deadline (pre-reviewed ARR & main conference) January 17, 2024 - Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2024 - Camera-ready papers due: January 25 2024 - Workshop dates: March 21-22, 2024 with regards, Dr. Bharathi Raja Chakravarthi, Assistant Professor / Lecturer-above-the-bar School of Computer Science, University of Galway, Ireland Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics, Data Science Institute, University of Galway, Ireland E-mail: bharathiraja.akr(a)gmail.com , bharathi.raja(a)universityofgalway.ie <bharathiraja.asokachakravarthi(a)universityofgalway.ie> Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=irCl028AAAAJ&hl=en Website: https://www.universityofgalway.ie/our-research/people/bharathirajaasokachak…

3 PhD positions on disagreement and meaning variation at the University of Utrecht
by d.p.nguyen＠uu.nl 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

** Job openings: PhD studentships on meaning variation in NLP ** Utrecht University, The Netherlands The Natural Language Processing (NLP) group in the Computing and Information Sciences department of Utrecht University (UU) is offering PhD positions in AI / NLP. Three four-year positions are available as part of the AiNed project “Dealing with Meaning Variation in NLP”, a collaboration between AI and Data Science and the Language Sciences Institute led by Prof. Massimo Poesio. The overall aim of the project is to allow NLP models to make better sense of variations in the ways that different speakers and readers interpret language. Positions are available to of the following projects: PhD PROJECT 1: Variation in coreference and reference Early research on learning from data with disagreement in Natural Language Processing (NLP) was often motivated by findings about anaaphoic reference - it turns out that often people disagree on what these pronouns mean, particularly in conversations. Methods for learning from data with disagreements (`learning from crowds’) have been successfully applied to other types of data containing disagreements, and substantial data sets containing multiple judgments on anaphoric reference now exist. But computational models of referring expression interpretation that can effectively learn from such data sets do not yet exist. Training co-reference models ‘from crowds’ has proven to be challenging, and there is no consensus over the question of how to test/evaluate interpretation models that take variation into account. This project will focus on addressing such challenges. It will also develop metrics that do justice to interpretative variation for co-reference, and use these metrics to test models. Ideally, the development of these metrics will be informed by cognitive and behavioural evidence on the processing of reference. For this project, we are looking for a motivated researcher with a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Computational Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Linguistics, or Statistics. A good mastery of deep learning and of NLP is essential. An understanding of coreference and discourse understanding would be a definite bonus. PhD PROJECT 2: Subjectivity in the detection of problematic language Variation in interpretation is particularly frequent with judgments that depend on an individual’s subjective biases, such as deciding whether a joke is funny or not. This PhD project focuses on NLP methods for subjective interpretive tasks with a high societal relevance, such as offensive/abusive language detection, used e.g., by social media platforms to identify cases of problematic use of language that can be harmful to people. Judgments on whether a given utterance is problematic are notoriously subjective, where differences between judges can have difficult cultural, ethnic, and racial overtones. The project will develop models for detecting problematic language that take into account the fact that the judgments involved can be controversial. For this project, we are looking for a motivated researcher with a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, Computational Cognitive Science, Computing Science, Computational Social Science, Linguistics, or Statistics. A good mastery of deep learning and of NLP is essential. An understanding of social science methodology would be a definite bonus. PhD PROJECT 3: Conflicting interpretations in dialogue In conversations, we produce language under time pressure. One of the effects of this time pressure is that less attention is paid ensuring that expressions can be interpreted univocally, resulting in misunderstandings that often go undetected. Such misunderstandings between dialogue partners cause problems for all aspects of NLP research. The first problem is that specifying that an expression was interpreted in one way by one participant and in another way by the other participant is difficult with present annotation methods. In turn, this makes it difficult to train models that can produce participant-specific interpretations and/or recognise disagreements in interpretation. In this project you will study misunderstandings in dialogue and how conversational agents can recognise and resolve them. For this project, we are looking for a motivated researcher with Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, Computational Cognitive Science, Computing Science, Conversational Agents, Linguistics, or Statistics. A good mastery of deep learning, of dialogue, and of conversational agents is essential.

Universal Dependencies, release 2.13
by Dan Zeman 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

We are very happy to announce the nineteenth release of annotated treebanks in Universal Dependencies, v2.13, available at http://universaldependencies.org/. Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective (de Marneffe et al., 2021; Nivre et al., 2020). The annotation scheme is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008, 2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags (Petrov et al., 2012), and the Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic tagsets (Zeman, 2008). The general philosophy is to provide a universal inventory of categories and guidelines to facilitate consistent annotation of similar constructions across languages, while allowing language-specific extensions when necessary. The *259* treebanks in v2.13 are annotated according to version 2 of the UD guidelines and represent the following *148 languages:* Abaza, Afrikaans, Akkadian, Akuntsu, Albanian, Amharic, Ancient Greek, Ancient Hebrew, Apurina, Arabic, Armenian, Assyrian, Bambara, Basque, Beja, Belarusian, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Bororo, Breton, Bulgarian, Buryat, Cantonese, Catalan, Cebuano, Chinese, Chukchi, Classical Armenian, Classical Chinese, Coptic, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Erzya, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Frisian Dutch, Galician, Georgian, German, Gheg, Gothic, Greek, Guajajara, Guarani, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Highland Puebla Nahuatl, Hindi, Hittite, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kaapor, Kangri, Karelian, Karo, Kazakh, Khunsari, Kiche, Komi Permyak, Komi Zyrian, Korean, Kurmanji, Kyrgyz, Latin, Latvian, Ligurian, Lithuanian, Livvi, Low Saxon, Macedonian, Madi, Maghrebi Arabic French, Makurap, Malayalam, Maltese, Manx, Marathi, Mbya Guarani, Middle French, Moksha, Munduruku, Naija, Nayini, Neapolitan, Nheengatu, North Sami, Norwegian, Old Church Slavonic, Old East Slavic, Old French, Old Irish, Old Turkish, Persian, Polish, Pomak, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian, Sinhala, Skolt Sami, Slovak, Slovenian, Soi, South Levantine Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, Swedish Sign Language, Swiss German, Tagalog, Tamil, Tatar, Teko, Telugu, Thai, Tupinamba, Turkish, Turkish German, Ukrainian, Umbrian, Upper Sorbian, Urdu, Uyghur, Veps, Vietnamese, Warlpiri, Welsh, Western Armenian, Western Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, Wolof, Xavante, Xibe, Yakut, Yoruba, Yupik and Zaar. The 148 languages belong to *31 families:* Afro-Asiatic, Arawakan, Arawan, Austro-Asiatic, Austronesian, Basque, Bororoan, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Code switching, Creole, Dravidian, Eskimo-Aleut, Indo-European, Japanese, Kartvelian, Korean, Macro-Je, Mande, Mayan, Mongolic, Niger-Congo, Northwest Caucasian, Pama-Nyungan, Sign Language, Sino-Tibetan, Tai-Kadai, Tungusic, Tupian, Turkic, Uralic and Uto-Aztecan. Depending on the language, the treebanks range in size from less than 1,000 tokens to over 3 million tokens. We expect the next release to be available in May 2024.
