*Timelines:*
- May 1st: 2023 queries released to participants for all tasks
- August 1st: Submissions close for all tasks
- November 12-14th: TREC conference

*Introduction:*
The Product Search Track studies information retrieval in the field of
product search. This is the case where there is a corpus of many products
where the user goal and intent is to find the product that suits their need.
The main goal of the Trec Product Search Track is to study how end to end
retrieval systems can be built and evaluated given a large set of products.
*Track Tasks:*
The product search track has three tasks: *ranking*, *end to end retrieval,*
and* multi modal end to end retrieval*. You can submit up to three runs
for each of these tasks.
Each track uses the same training data originating from the ESCI Challenge
for Improving Product Search and shares the same set of evaluation queries.
Below the three tasks are described in more detail.
*Product Ranking Task*
The first task focuses on product ranking. In this task we provide an
initial ranking of 1000 documents from a BM25 baseline and you are expected
to re-rank the products in terms of their relevance to the users given
intent.
The ranking provides a focused task where the candidate sets are fixed and
there is no need to implement complex end to end systems which makes
experimentation quick and runs easily comparable.
*Product Retrieval Task*
The second task focuses on end to end product retrieval. In this task we
provide a large collection of products and participants need to design end
to end retrieval systems which leverage whichever information they find
relevant/useful.
Unlike the ranking task, the focus here is in understanding the interplay
between retrieval and reranking systems.
*Multi-Modal Product Retrieval Task*
The third task focuses on end to end product retrieval using multiple
modalities. In this task we provide a large collection of products where
each product features additional attributes and information such as related
clicks and images and participants need to design end to end retrieval
systems which leverage whichever information they find relevant/useful.
The focus of this task is to understand the interplay between different
modalities and the value which additional potentially weak data provides.
*Timelines:*
- May 1st: 2023 queries released to participants for all tasks
- August 1st: Submissions close for all tasks
- November 12-14th: TREC conference

Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that 'Collocations, Corpora and Language Learning', by Paweł Szudarski, has just been published in the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics Series. This publication is FREE to download for two weeks. It can be accessed here:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/search?q=9781108994798
Here is the abstract of the publication:
This Element provides a systematic overview and synthesis of corpus-based research into collocations focusing on the learning and use of collocations by second language (L2) users. Underlining the importance of collocation as a key notion within the field of corpus linguistics, the text offers a state-of-the-art account of the main findings related to the applications of corpora and corpus-based measures for defining, identifying and analysing collocations as related to second language acquisition. Emphasising the quality of L2 collocation research, the Element illustrates key methodological issues to be considered when conducting this type of corpus analysis. It also discusses examples of pertinent research questions and points to representative studies treated as models of good practice. Aiming at researchers both new and experienced, the Element also points to avenues for future work and shows the relevance of corpus-based analysis for improving the process of learning and teaching of L2 collocations.

"... the following is the manner in which I would request them to
transmit their notes for my consideration. Inscribing the package with
my name let them then enclose that package in a second one addressed
either to the Rector of the University of St Petersburg or to
Professor Shevirev of the University of Moscow"
I hope they were not burned with the second, "more hopeful" (and
boring?) second chapter. They may have been archived probably
somewhere in Russia.
Does any one know what happened to such letters?, where could they be
possibly found?
I am thinking of a corpora-based experiment with them.

The 1st Workshop on Computational Terminology in NLP and Translation
Studies (ConTeNTs)
Varna, 7th-8th September, 2023
In conjunction with RANLP 2023 - International Conference "Recent
Advances in Natural Language Processing"
Second call for papers
Computational Terminology and new technologies applied to translation
studies have attracted the interest of researchers with very different
multidisciplinary backgrounds and motivations. Those fields cover a
range of areas in Natural Language Processing (NLP) such as information
retrieval, terminology extraction, question-answering systems, ontology
building, machine translation, computer-aided translation, automatic or
semi-automatic abstracting, text generation, etc.
Terminological identification, extraction and coinage of new terms are
essential for knowledge mining from texts, both in high and low
resources languages. Quick evolutions and new developments in
specialised domains require efficient and systematic automatic term
management. New terms need to be coined and translated to ensure the
equitable development of domains in all languages.
During the last decade, deep learning and neural methods have become the
state of the art for most NLP applications. Those applications were
shown to outperform previous methods on various tasks, including
automatic term extraction, language mining, assessment of quality in
machine translation, accessibility of terminology, etc. On the one hand,
NLP and computational linguistics try to improve the work of translators
and interpreters by developing Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT)
tools, Translation Memories (TMs), terminological databases and
terminology extraction tools, etc. On the other hand, the NLP field
still needs the efforts and knowledge of translators, interpreters and
linguists to provide better services and tools based on the real
necessities of those language professionals.
The aim of this workshop is to promote new insights into the ongoing and
forthcoming developments in computational terminology by bringing
together NLP experts, as well as terminologists and translators. By
uniting researchers with such diverse profiles, we hope to bridge some
of the gaps between these disciplines and inspire a dialogue between
various parties, thus paving the way to more artificial intelligence
applications based on mutual collaboration between language and
technology.
Topics of Interest
The ConTeNTs workshop invites the submission of papers reporting on
original and unpublished research on topics related to Computational
Terminology in NLP and Translation Studies, including but not limited
to:
* Automatic term extraction: monolingual and multilingual extraction
of terms from parallel and comparable corpora, including single and
multiword expressions;
* Extraction and acquisition of semantic relations between terms;
* Extraction and generation of domain specific definitions and
disambiguation of terms;
* Representation of terms, management of term variation and the
discovery of synonym terms or term clusters and its relation to NLP
applications;
* Extraction of terminological context, through the use of comparable
and parallel corpus;
* Accessibility of terminology in certain domains, relevant to
non-experts or to laypersons, and its relevance to NLP applications such
as, chatbots, automatic email generation or spoken language interface;
* The impact of terminology on MT (applying terminology constraints,
evaluation of MT in domain-specific settings, etc.);
* The creation of domain ontologies, thesaurus, terminological
resources in specialised domains;
* The use of new technologies in translation studies and research and
the use of terminological resources in specialised translation;
* Identification of key problems in terminology and new technologies
used in translation studies;
* Evaluation of terminological resources in various NLP applications
and the impact of these resources have on the performance of the
automatic systems;
* Emerging language technologies: how the increased reliance on
real-time language technologies would change the structure of language;
* Corpus based studies applied to translation and interpreting: the
use of parallel and comparable corpora for translating phraseological
units;
* Phraseology and multiword expressions in cross-linguistic studies;
* Translation and interpreting tools, such as translation memories,
machine translation and alignment tools;
* User requirements for interpreting and translation tools.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions must consist of full-text papers and should not exceed 7
pages excluding references, they should be a minimum of 5 pages long.
The accepted papers will be published as ConTeNTs workshop e-proceedings
with ISBN, will be assigned a DOI and will be also available at the time
of the conference. The papers should be in English.
Authors of accepted papers will receive guidelines regarding how to
produce camera-ready versions of their papers for inclusion in the
