**** We apologize for the multiple copies of this email. In case you are already registered to the next webinar, you do not need to register again. **** Dear colleague, We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology webinar series organized by the HiTZ research center (Basque Center for Language Technology, http://hitz.eus). This will be the final webinar of this academic year. You can check the videos of previous webinars and the schedule for upcoming webinars here: http://www.hitz.eus/webinars Next webinar: * *Speaker*: Pascale Fung (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) * *Title*: Safer Generative ConvAI * *Date*: Jun 1, 2023, 15:00 CET * *Summary*: Generative models for Conversational AI are less than a decade old, but they hold great promise for human-machine interactions. Machine responses based on generative models can seem quite fluent and human-like, empathetic and funny, knowledgeable and professional. However, behind the confident voice of generative ConvAI systems, they can also be hallucinating misinformation, giving biased and harmful views, and are still not "safe" enough for many real life applications. The expressive power of generative ConvAI models and their undesirable behavior are two sides of the same coin. How can we harness the fluency, diversity, engagingness of generative ConvAI models while mitigating the downside? In this talk, I will present some of our team’s recent work in making generative ConvAI safer via mitigating hallucinations, misinformation, and toxicity. * *Bio*: Pascale Fung is a Chair Professor at the Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST), and a visiting professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. She is an elected Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) for her "significant contributions to the field of conversational AI and to the development of ethical AI principles and algorithms", an elected Fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) for her “significant contributions towards statistical NLP, comparable corpora, and building intelligent systems that can understand and empathize with humans”. She is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) for her “contributions to human-machine interactions” and an elected Fellow of the International Speech Communication Association for “fundamental contributions to the interdisciplinary area of spoken language human-machine interactions”.

UK PhD Studentship in Mining Electronic Health Records to Identify Effective Dietetic Factors
by Shangming Zhou 31 May '23

31 May '23

*Mining Routinely Collected Electronic Health Records to Identify Effective Dietetic Factors for Optimal Care in General Practice* DoS: Professor Shang-Ming Zhou (shangming.zhou(a)plymouth.ac.uk, tel.: 01752 586513) 2nd Supervisor: Professor Mary Hickson (mary.hickson(a)plymouth.ac.uk , tel.: 01752 587542) 3rd Supervisor: Dr Avril Collinson (avril.collinson(a)plymouth.ac.uk, tel.: 01752 588848) Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 1st October 2023 or 01 January 2024 for the right candidate. *Project Description* The typical approach to dietetic work in primary care involves outreach clinics and educational initiatives that are provided by dietitians working in community or acute settings, or by offering dietetic clinics inside GP offices taking referrals from GPs. More recently, dietitians have been able to train to become first contact practitioners; a diagnostic clinician able to assess and manage undifferentiated and undiagnosed presentations. However, the ways in which these practitioners operate has yet to be defined and the role in dietetics is in its infancy and requires evaluation. The aims of this project are to interrogate multiples electronic health databases and build evidence on dietetic care in general practice. This study will enable the definition of what areas of general practice workload a dietitian can support and build evidence of dietary factors that influence disease risk and patterns of risk stratification. The funded PhD student will use statistics and machine learning techniques with data extracted from the electronic health records to generate evidence on dietetic care. *Eligibility* Applicants should have 1. A first or upper second-class honours degree in an appropriate subject or a relevant Masters qualification in Health Informatics, Medical Informatics, Bioinformatics, Health Data Science, Computing Science, Statistics, or any areas related; 2. Interest in working with real-world problems and large data sets; 3. Excellent proficiency in English and outstanding communication skills; 4. Strong analytical and programming skills; 5. A “can do”, positive attitude with an aspiration to change the world. - Experience in machine learning is advantageous. - Experience in publication of peer-reviewed literature is desirable. If your first language is not English, you will need to meet the minimum English requirements for the programme, academic IELTS score of 6.5 or above (with no less than 5.5 in each component test area) or equivalent. *Funding* *To view the funding details*, please visit here <https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-life/your-studies/research-degrees/postg…> . If you wish to discuss this project further informally, please contact Professor Shang-Ming Zhou <https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/shang-ming-zhou> via shangming.zhou(a)plymouth.ac.uk *To apply for this position *please click 'Apply' above. *Please clearly state the name of the DoS and the studentship title that you are applying for on the top of your Personal Statement.* Please see here <https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-life/your-studies/research-degrees/appli…> for a list of supporting documents to upload with your application. - *Provision of a research proposal is advantageous.* For more information on the admissions process generally, please visit our How to Apply for a Research Degree <https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-life/your-studies/research-degrees/appli…> webpage or contact the Doctoral College <doctoral.college(a)plymouth.ac.uk>. *The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 31st July 2023.* Shortlisted candidates will be invited for interview shortly after the deadline. We regret that we may not be able to respond to all applications. Applicants who have not received a response within six weeks of the closing date should consider their application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Funding Notes The studentship is supported for 3 years and includes full Home tuition fees plus a stipend of £17,668 per annum 2022/23 rate (2023/24 rate TBC). The studentship will only fully fund those applicants who are eligible for Home fees with relevant qualifications. Applicants normally required to cover International fees will have to cover the difference between the Home and the International tuition fee rates (approximately £12,697 per annum). NB: The studentship is supported for three years of the four-year registration period. The fourth year is a self-funded ‘writing-up’ year.

CfP: Computational approaches to metaphor and figurative language
by Tatjana Scheffler 31 May '23

31 May '23

Call for Abstracts Computational approaches to metaphor and figurative language Date: Feb 28-Mar 1, 2024 Location: Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany Organizers: Stefanie Dipper, Tatjana Scheffler, Sebastian Reimann, Adam Roussel (Ruhr-University Bochum) Homepage: https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/metaphor-dgfs2024/ Call deadline: August 25, 2023 Meeting description: Workshop at the Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2024) https://dgfs.de/ Call for Papers: Figurative and non-literal language, such as metaphor, metonymy, or personification, poses a special challenge for computational analysis, since these expressions are not used with their usual, ordinary meanings, as represented in corpus data or recorded in lexical resources, but with different, derived meanings. We aim to bring together computational linguists working on the automatic analysis of non-literal language. A special focus will be on non-conventionalized usages, such as novel metaphors or innovative forms of metonymy. In addition, we are particularly interested in approaches applicable to languages other than English, for example low-resource languages or domains. We welcome contributions dealing with the identification of (specific forms of) non-literal language, with the interpretation of figurative expressions, or with the relation between literal and non-literal meanings in distributional semantic representations. Further, we are interested in discussing how the meaning of figurative expressions is negotiated, for example in social media, and how distributional semantic representations can be enriched in order to reflect figurative meaning. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: • non-conventionalized or innovative figurative language • computational approaches to metaphors, allegory, or metonymy • features for automatically detecting figurative language • the interpretation of non-literal expressions • semantic divergence of non-literal expressions • figurative expressions in low-resource languages • meaning negotiation in social media • semantic representations for figurative meaning Invited speakers: tba Submission details: Authors should submit anonymous abstracts of maximally 2 pages (including references) in a 12 point font (e.g., Times New Roman). References should be formatted according to the APA guidelines. The workshop language is English for both abstracts and talks. According to DGfS regulations, speakers can only present a paper in one workshop. Please submit your abstracts as a (anonymized) pdf document to the following address: metaphor-dgfs2024(a)ruhr-uni-bochum.de , and include the author information in the body of the email. Upon acceptance, participants will be requested to submit a de-anonymized shortened version of the abstract for the conference booklet. Important dates: Abstract submission deadline: August 25, 2023 Notification of acceptance: September 8, 2023 Workshop: Feb 28-Mar 1, 2024 --- Jun.-Prof. Dr. Tatjana Scheffler (she/her) GB 5/157 Ruhr-Universität Bochum Fakultät für Philologie, Germanistik Universitätsstraße 150 44801 Bochum Germany Mail: tatjana.scheffler(a)rub.de Web: http://staff.germanistik.rub.de/digitale-forensische-linguistik/ Tel.: +49 234 32-21471

2nd Workshop on Perspectivist Approaches to Disagreement in NLP: Call for Papers
by Simona Frenda 29 May '23

29 May '23

CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd Workshop on Perspectivist Approaches to Disagreement in NLP (and Beyond) (NLPerspectives) https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/w/2nd-workshop-on-perspectivist-approach… Until recently, the dominant paradigm in natural language processing (and other areas of artificial intelligence) has been to resolve observed label disagreement into a single “ground truth” or “gold standard” via aggregation, adjudication, or statistical means. However, in recent years, the field has increasingly focused on subjective tasks, such as abuse detection or quality estimation, in which multiple points of view may be equally valid, and a unique ‘ground truth’ label may not exist (Plank, 2022). At the same time, as concerns have been raised about bias and fairness in AI, it has become increasingly apparent that an approach which assumes a single “ground truth” can erase minority voices. Strong perspectivism in NLP (Cabitza et al., 2023) pursues the spirit of recent initiatives such as Data Statements (Bender and Friedman, 2018), extending their scope to the full NLP pipeline, including the aspects related to modelling, evaluation and explanation. In line with the first edition <https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/w/w2022/>, the NLPerspectives (Perspectivist Approaches to Disagreement in NLP) workshop will explore current and ongoing work on: the collection and labelling of non-aggregated datasets; and approaches to modelling and including these perspectives, as well as evaluation and applications of multi-perspective Machine Learning models. We also welcome opinion pieces and literature reviews, e.g., in the context of fairness and inclusion. A key outcome of this second edition will be to build on the work begun at https://pdai.info/ to create a repository of perspectivist datasets with non-aggregated labels for use by researchers in perspectivist NLP modelling. Authors are, therefore, invited to share their LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) and provide essential information about resources (i.e., also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work or are a result of their research. In addition, authors will be required to adhere to ethical research policies on AI and may include an ethics statement in their papers. The NLPerspectives workshop will be hosted in person during the 26th edition of ECAI 2023 <https://ecai2023.eu/> in Kraków, Poland, on 30 September or 1 October 2023. Submissions The papers should be submitted as a PDF document, conforming to the formatting guidelines provided in the call for papers of ECAI 2023 conference: https://ecai2023.eu/ECAI2023 We accept three types of submissions: - Regular research papers; - Non-archival submissions: like research papers, but will not be included in the proceedings; - Research communications: 4-page abstracts summarizing relevant research published elsewhere. Research papers (archival or non-archival) may consist of up to 7 pages of content, plus 1 page for references. Research communications may consist of up to 4 pages of content. Submissions should be sent in electronic forms, using the Softconf START conference management system at this URL: https://softconf.com/n/NLPerspectives/user/scmd.cgi?scmd=submitNew Topics We invite original research papers from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: - Non-aggregated data collection and annotation frameworks - Descriptions of corpora collected under the perspectivist paradigm - Multi-perspective Modelling and Machine Learning - Evaluation of multi-perspective models/ models of disagreement - Multi-perspective disagreement as applied to NLP evaluation - Fairness and inclusive modelling - Perspectivist approaches for social good - Applications of multi-perspective modelling - Computing with (dis)agreement - Perspectivist Natural Language Generation - Foundational aspects of perspectivism - Opinion pieces and reviews on perspectivist approaches to NLP Submissions are open to all, and are to be submitted anonymously (and must conform to the instructions for double-blind review). All papers will be refereed through a double-blind peer review process by at least three reviewers, with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organizers. Scientific papers will be evaluated based on relevance, significance of contribution, impact, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation. Attendance At least one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the conference and present the work. Important Dates * Friday June 23, 2023: Paper submission * Friday August 4, 2023: Notification of acceptance * Friday September 1, 2023: Camera-ready papers due * Saturday September 30 or Sunday October 1, 2023: Workshop Workshop organisers: Gavin Abercrombie, Heriot-Watt University Valerio Basile, University of Turin Davide Bernardi, Amazon Alexa Shiran Dudy, University of Colorado, Boulder Simona Frenda, University of Turin Lucy Havens, University of Edinburgh Elisa Leonardelli, Fondazione Bruno Kessler Sara Tonelli, Fondazione Bruno Kessler Contact us at g.abercrombie(a)hw.ac.uk if you have any questions.
