Call for Papers: IWCS workshop on Semantics in Organisational Communication
by Matthew Purver 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

CFP: SemInOrgCom: Semantics in Organisational Communication https://sodestream.github.io/seminorgcom/ June 20th, Nancy, France Co-located with IWCS 2023 Important dates: Regular and non-archival submissions: * April 14th Submission deadline * May 12th Notification of acceptance * June 9th Camera ready deadline for regular papers Hackathon: * March 8th – May 31st Participants working on Hackathon * March 31st First meeting with Hackathon participants * May 2nd Second meeting with Hackathon participants * June 7th Submission deadline for system description papers * June 9th Camera ready deadline for hackathon system description papers Workshop: * 20th Jun Workshop date Keynote speakers: Dr. Colin Perkins (University of Glasgow; chair, Internet Research Task Force) Prof. Magda Osman (University of Cambridge) Workshop description: Interaction and communication are at the heart of every organisation, from small to large, and take many forms: email, group messaging applications, face-to-face and online meetings of various sizes, and others. Insights into how people express complex issues, discuss their own and others’ intentions and make decisions could help make these processes more efficient and/or transparent and lead to a range of assistive tools. However, the group interaction involved is often at a scale between the small scales usually assumed in computational semantics or dialogue modelling, and the very large scales usually studied in social networks. The organisational nature also brings important factors that affect language and the meaning expressed or understood – explicit or implicit hierarchy, shared or disputed goals, and social groupings with competitive or collaborative agendas – well known in other disciplines but not often taken into account in computational semantics. The computational linguistics community has looked at various relevant phenomena and tasks (e.g., meeting summarization, intention detection, intention detection, argument mining, agreement/disagreement detection, persuasiveness detection), and some relevant datasets have been produced (e.g., the Enron email dataset). However, there are still relatively few attempts and few resources or approaches to semantics in organisational communication in general. This workshop aims to fill this gap to model, analyse and understand overall organisational communication, and encourage collaboration between researchers from diverse backgrounds, including computational linguistics, organisational psychology, and computational social science. Main topics: We welcome work broadly in the area of natural language processing, computational linguistics, computational social science, sociolinguistics, organisational psychology, and related fields with the aim of better understanding organisational communication. Cross-disciplinary collaborations between computer scientists and other social scientists in order to reach richer insights are especially welcome. We also encourage contributions that address multilingual settings as well as low-resource languages. The workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Summarization of meetings and other organisational communication * Models of argument, (dis)agreement and decision-making * Analysis of influence, persuasiveness and power relations * Effects of organisational culture and hierarchy * Communication across different modalities and timescales * Differences between organisational communication and other forms of communication * Datasets and annotation schemas for organisational communication * Social network analysis in organisations as applied to communication * Diachronic analysis of organisational communication * Application and adaptation of NLP models to organisational communication. Format: Regular submissions (long and short) Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages of content and short papers of up to 4 pages of content, with unlimited pages for references. Accepted papers will be given an additional page of content to address reviewer comments and will be published in the ACL Anthology. Previously published papers cannot be accepted. Dual submissions are allowed; papers that are currently undergoing review at other venues are welcome but must declare this on submission. Non-archival submissions We welcome two types of non-archival submissions. First, you can submit an extended abstract of work not published elsewhere. These can include position papers, or early-stage work that would benefit from peer feedback. Second, work previously accepted/published elsewhere, along with details about the venue or journal where it is accepted, and a link to the archived version, if available. In both cases there are no page limits, or style/anonymity requirements, and the submissions will be reviewed only for the fit to the workshop theme. Papers accepted as non-archival will be given an opportunity to present the work at the workshop but will not be published in the ACL Anthology (they will be available on the workshop website). Hackathon submissions An active, experimentation-based track where hackathon-type online activities precede the workshop, and teams/individuals present their work in the workshop. The hackathon organisers will provide data, task suggestions, and periodic feedback. Though, participants are free to work on any relevant task or dataset during their hackathon project. Hackathon activities are by design online, while the rest of the workshop will be in person. Hackathon participants are invited (but not required) to submit a system description paper (up to 4 pages + unlimited pages for references); authors will be able to choose whether these are published in the ACL anthology. Journal special issue After the workshop, we will explore the possibility of inviting selected authors to submit a paper to a special issue of the Dialogue & Discourse journal. The journal submissions would undergo further review, and the paper should be substantially different from the original work. Submission instructions: Similar to IWCS, regular submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. All submissions should follow the IWCS conference template (see https://iwcs2023.loria.fr/call-for-papers/) Submission link: https://softconf.com/iwcs2023/seminorgcom/ Program committee: Ignacio Castro, Queen Mary University of London Goran Glavaš, University of Würzburg Patrick Healey, Queen Mary University of London Mladen Karan, Queen Mary University of London Stephen McQuistin, University of Glasgow Paul Piwek, Open University Matthew Purver, Queen Mary University of London and Jožef Stefan Institute Ravi Shekhar, University of Essex Gareth Tyson, Hong Kong University of Science of Science and Technology Andreas Vlachos, University of Cambridge Ivan Vulić, University of Cambridge (more TBA) -- Matthew Purver - http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~mpurver/ Computational Linguistics Lab - http://compling.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/ Cognitive Science Research Group - http://cogsci.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/ School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Queen Mary University of London, London E1 4NS, UK *My working days for QMUL are Monday-Wednesday; responses to mail on other days may be delayed.*

CFP TAL journal - special issue "Robustness and limitations of natural language processing models"
by Aurélie Névéol 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

[sent on behalf of the special issue editors] Hello all, apologies for the cross-posting. This special issue of the TAL journal calls for papers on the topic of the robustness and limitations of natural language processing (NLP) models (written text). The deadline for submission of articles is 12 May 2023 contrary to what had been announced earlier by mistake. The corrected call is available below. Kind regards, Caio Corro ----- **Robustness and limitations of natural language processing models** This special issue of the TAL journal calls for papers on the topic of the robustness and limitations of natural language processing (NLP) models (written text). Call for submission: http://tal-64-2.sciencesconf.org/ Paper submission deadline : May 12th, 2023 THE TAL JOURNAL Since 1960, ATALA has been publishing the international journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (formerly La Traduction Automatique, then TA Informations), with the support of the CNRS. This journal is published three times a year. The journal is open-access: free to submit, free to publish and free to read. Published articles will be available on the ATALA* website and on the ACL Anthology**. Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit their contributions in French. * https://www.atala.org/revuetal ** aclanthology.org/ GUEST EDITORS - Caio Corro (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LISN) - Gaël Lejeune (Sorbonne Université, STIH) - Vlad Niculae (Language Technology Lab, University of Amsterdam) FOCUS OF THE ISSUE Machine learning methods have made it possible to achieve spectacular results on numerous NLP tasks and benchmarks, giving the impression that many problems related to NLP are "solved" or soon to be solved. Nevertheless, it is still an open question as whether or not these models are really effective, or even usable, in non-controlled environments. This thematic issue of the TAL journal aims at questioning the robustness and limits of modern NLP models, in particular related to the following aspects: 1. "Non-standard" data: the use of models on non-standard data, that is data presenting variations with respect to language (diachronic language variation, diatopic variations, variation in word order, code-switching, user-generated content, inconsistent spelling, accidentally noisy data due to pre-processing, incomplete data, presence of specialized domain vocabulary...). 2. Out-of-domain data: the use of models on data from a different domain that the one seen during training; 3. Linguistic structures unseen during training: compositional generalization [1], structural generalization [2], or generalization related to gender bias [3], among others. Relevant topics for this thematic issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas : - identification and evaluation of linguistic phenomena that are problematic for neural networks and other NLP systems; - analysis and correction of error propagation in NLP systems (cascading error analysis); - feedback on the use of NLP systems that have been found to be non-functional on specific types of data; - critical analysis of datasets used for learning or evaluation; - construction of datasets to evaluate robustness with respect to linguistic variations; - data augmentation to improve robustness; - out-of-domain adaptation or learning with domains that are underrepresented in the data; - neural architectures or training methods that improve robustness. All standard NLP tasks can be considered. Works on other languages than French and English are warmly welcomed. IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission deadline : May 12th, 2023 via https://tal-64-2.sciencesconf.org/ - Notification to the authors after first review : July 2023 - Notification to the authors after second review : November 2023 - Publication : February 2024 LANGUAGE Articles are written in English or French. Submissions in English are accepted only if one of the co-authors is not French speaking. SUBMISSION FORMAT The length of the papers must be between 20 and 25 pages. The TAL journal has a double-blind review process. It is necessary to anonymize the article, the name of the file, and to avoid self-references. Style sheets are available on the journal's website: https://www.atala.org/content/instruction-authors-style-files-0 Authors are invited to submit their paper by clicking on the menu "Paper submission" (PDF article" menu (PDF format).
