Apologies for cross posting The Third Workshop on Speech and Language Technologies for Dravidian Languages -(DravidianLangTech-2023) Link: https://dravidianlangtech.github.io/2023/ The development of technology increases our internet use and most of the world's languages adapt to it. Whereas the local or under-resourced languages still pose challenges as they still lack effective technology developments on their languages, one such language family is the Dravidian family of languages. Dravidian languages <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dravidian_languages> are majorly spoken in south India and in small pockets in Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and a few other places in South Asia. Even though the Proto Dravidian language is 4,500 years old, still the languages of this family are under-resourced in speech and natural language processing. The Dravidian languages are divided into four major groups: South, South-Central, Central, and North groups. Dravidian morphology is agglutinating in that it is exclusively suffixal in nature. Syntactically, Dravidian languages are head-final and left-branching. They are free-constituent order languages. To improve access to and production of information for monolingual speakers of Dravidian languages, it is necessary to have speech and languages technologies. The aim of the proposed workshops is especially to prevent the Dravidian languages from extinction in the context of their use of technology. This is planned to be the first workshop of this kind on speech and language technologies for Dravidian languages. The broader objective of DravidianLangTech-2023 will be - To investigate challenges related to speech and language resource creation for Dravidian languages. - To promote research in speech and language technology of Dravidian languages. - To adopt to an appropriate language technology models which suit Dravidian languages - To provide opportunities for researchers from the Dravidian language community from around the world to collaborate with other researchers. Call for Papers DravidianLangTech-2023 welcomes theoretical and practical paper submission on any Dravidian languages (Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Tulu, Allar, Aranadan, Attapadya, Kurumba, Badaga, Beary, Betta Kurumba, Bharia, Bishavan, Brahui, Chenchu, Duruwa, Eravallan, Gondi, Holiya, Irula, Jeseri, Kadar, Kaikadi, Kalanadi, Kanikkaran, Khiwar, Kodava, Kolami, Konda, Koraga, Kota, Koya, Kurambhag Paharia, Kui, Kumbaran, Kunduvadi, Kurichiya, Kurukh, Kurumba, Kuvi, Madiya, Mala Malasar, Malankuravan, Malapandaram, Malasar, Malto, Manda, Muduga, Mullu Kurumba, Muria, Muthuvan, Naiki, Ollari, Paliyan, Paniya, Pardhan, Pathiya, Pattapu, Pengo, Ravula, Sholaga, Thachanadan, Toda, Wayanad Chetti, and Yerukala) that contributes to research in language processing, speech technologies or resources for the same.

Call for papers - Workshop Discourse studies and linguistic data science - DiSLiDaS 2023
by Purificação Silvano 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Call for papers Workshop Discourse studies and linguistic data science: Addressing challenges in interoperability, multilinguality and linguistic data processing - DiSLiDaS 2023 University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria 12-13 September 2023 (TBA) Website: http://dislidas.mozajka.co<http://dislidas.mozajka.co/> The fourth biennial conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2023) (http://2023.ldk-conf.org<http://2023.ldk-conf.org/>) and Cost Action CA18209 NexusLinguarum (https://nexuslinguarum.eu<https://nexuslinguarum.eu/>) are glad to announce the second workshop Discourse studies and linguistic data science: Addressing challenges in interoperability, multilinguality and linguistic data processing – DiSLiDaS 2023. *Conference aims and topics* The workshop aims to follow through the topics discussed during DiSLiDaS 2022 (https://dislidas.mozajka.co/?page_id=211) and to gather current research advances in discourse analysis and representation, in the context of multilinguality, from a linguistic and computational perspective. We invite submissions addressing challenges such as interoperability, linguistic linked open data (LLOD), and language processing and analysis. The workshop topics are the following (but not limited to): ● Discourse and dialogue annotation: Parsing and representation across languages and frameworks ● Discourse markers and discourse relations (RST, PDTB, SDRT): Identification, prediction and extraction ● Attitudes discovery and interpretation in Discourse: Appraisal and sentiment ● Effects of multimodality on discourse interpretation: Intonation, gesture and text ● Interoperability for Multilingual language data: Challenges of rich and distributed data ● Discourse data and machine learning: Methods and tools Discourse comprises a wide variety of linguistic phenomena, such as discourse markers, discourse relations, and speaker attitude, which have been largely studied by different communities of practice from Linguistics and Computation, rendering several theoretical frameworks (for instance, RST, SDRT, PDTB, for discourse relations; appraisal theory for sentiment analysis,...), and technological approaches, such as transformer models, embeddings and alike. Nonetheless, there are open issues concerning interoperability, multilinguality, and language processing, in particular, the existence of different annotation schemas, disambiguation, lack of training data for machine learning, scarcity of effective language phenomena detection and interpretation methods, diverse vocabularies, insufficient multilingual parallel corpora of non-dialogue and dialogue, initial stages of exploration of multimodality. Discourse research is one of the central research areas of natural language processing (NLP) too. NLP research focuses on the formalisation, identification and discovery of semantic phenomena, dialogue exchange structure, and text coherence. Some of the technological approaches of NLP include the use of transformer models, word embeddings, linguistic linked open data, the constitution of aligned multilingual corpora, vocabularies of language phenomena and alike. Computational discourse explores the evidence that language consists not only of placing words in the right order but also of detecting and interpreting the meaning and deeper textual relations and organising ideas into a logical flow. The linguistic approaches study language phenomena referring to coherence and cohesiveness of discourse, lexical, phrasal, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic means to express discourse relations, represent their roles and build language resources for them. Despite all the advances, there are still plenty of unresolved problems related to interoperability, multilinguality, and language processing. With the growth of the Semantic Web and Linguistic Linked Data, interoperability is key to reading, interpreting and adopting language resources. The existence of different annotation schemas to encode discourse relations constitutes a problem for data exchange and reuse and for theoretical consistency. The treatment of multilinguality is also complicated because of the insufficiency of multilingual parallel corpora of collections of non-dialogue and dialogue texts, which would allow systematic contrastive studies. As to language processing, the lack of training data for machine learning, coupled with the scarcity of effective language phenomena detection and interpretation methods, the coexistence of diverse vocabularies, and the minimal attention to the contribution of the tone of voice, intonation, gestures to the meaning and the informative value of discourse elements make the task of discourse processing still very challenging. The workshop intends to be a discussion forum for researchers interested in addressing the aforementioned challenges and advancing the state-of-art in discourse studies and linguistic data science. *Programme* The Scientific Programme will include one invited talk and oral presentations. Invited Speaker Johan Bos, University of Groningen *Submissions* Submissions can be in the form of: • long papers: 9–12 pages; • short papers: 4–6 pages. All submission lengths are given including references. Accepted submissions will be published by ACL in an open-access conference proceedings volume, free of charge for authors. The ACL templates should therefore be used for all conference submissions. As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymised. The workshop will be hybrid (face-to-face and remote). Note that at least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the paper at the workshop (either remotely or on-site). There will be no registration fee administered for participating in DiSLiDaS 2023. Submissions must be submitted electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dislidas2023 *Important dates* Time Zone: Anywhere on Earth Papers due: May, 19, 2023 Papers acceptance notifications: June, 16, 2023 Camera-ready papers due: June, 30, 2023 *Programme Committee* Elena-Simona Apostol, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Harry Bunt, Tilburg University, Netherlands Maria Josep Cuenca, Universitat de València Debopam Das, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany Jorge Garcia, University of Zaragoza, Spain Mikel Iruskieta, University of the Basque Country, Spain António Leal, University of Porto, Portugal Chaya Liebeskind, Jerusalem College of Technology, Israel Amália Mendes, University of Lisbon, Portugal Maciej Ogrodniczuk, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland Giedre Valunaite Oleskevicienė, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuanian Georg Rehm, DFKI GmbH, Germany Ted Sanders, Utrecht University, Netherlands Merel Scholman, University of Saarland, Germany Dimitar Trajanov, Ss.
