<https://sites.google.com/view/crac2023/> CRAC 2023, the Sixth Workshop on
Computational Models of Reference, Anaphora and Coreference, will be held at
EMNLP 2023 <https://2023.emnlp.org/> in Singapore on December 6 and 7.
About the workshop
The CRAC workshop is a forum where work on all aspects of computational work
on anaphora resolution and annotation, including both coreference and types
of anaphora such as bridging references resolution and discourse deixis, can
be presented.
Since 2016, the yearly CRAC <https://aclanthology.org/venues/crac/> (and
its predecessor, CORBON <https://aclanthology.org/venues/corbon/> ) workshop
has become the primary forum for researchers interested in the computational
modeling of reference, anaphora, and coreference to discuss and publish
their results. Over the years, this workshop series was held at major NLP
conferences and has successfully organized six shared tasks, which
stimulated interest in new problems in this area of research, facilitated
the discussion and dissemination of results on new problems/directions
(e.g., multimodal reference resolution).
Topics
We are interested in your work on any aspect of theoretical or applied
computational work on anaphora/coreference resolution. Some topics to
suggest:
- coreference resolution for less-researched languages
- annotation and interpretation of anaphoric relations, including relations
other than identity coreference (e.g., bridging references)
- investigation of difficult cases of anaphora and their resolution
- coreference resolution in noisy data (e.g. in social media)
- new applications of coreference resolution
- <https://universalanaphora.github.io/UniversalAnaphora/> Universal
Anaphora
- CorefUD <https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/corefud>

ACM ICMI 2023 CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITS
9-13 October 2023, Paris - France
https://icmi.acm.org/2023/doctoral-consortium/
========================================================
We invite you to submit your proposals for demonstrations and exhibits to be held during the 25th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2023), located in Paris, France, October 9-13th 2023. This year’s conference theme is “Science of Multimodal Interactions”.
* Demonstrations and Exhibits
The ICMI 2023 Demonstrations & Exhibits session is intended to provide a forum to showcase innovative implementations, systems and technologies demonstrating new ideas about interactive multimodal interfaces. It can also serve as a platform to introduce commercial products.
Proposals may be of two types: demonstrations or exhibits. The main difference is that demonstrations include a 2-3 page paper in one column, which will be included in the ICMI main proceedings, while the exhibits only need to include a brief outline (no more than two pages in one column; not included in ICMI proceedings). We encourage both the submission of early research prototypes and interesting mature systems. In addition, authors of accepted regular research papers may be invited to participate in the demonstration sessions as well.
* Demonstration Submission
Please submit a 2-3 page description of the demonstration in a single column format through the main ICMI conference management system (new.precisionconference.com/sigchi). Demonstration description(s) must be in PDF format, according to the ACM conference format, of no more than 3 pages in a single column format including references. For instructions and links to the templates, please see the Guidelines for Authors (https://icmi.acm.org/2023/guidelines-for-authors/).
Demonstration proposals should include a description with photographs and/or screen captures of the demonstration. Demonstration submissions should be accompanied by a video of the proposed demo (no larger than 200MB), which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in PowerPoint format.
The demo and exhibit paper submissions are not anonymous. However, all ACM rules and guidelines related to paper submission should be followed (e.g. plagiarism, including self-plagiarism).
The demonstration submissions will be peer reviewed, according to the following criteria: suitability as a demo, scientific or engineering feasibility of the proposed demo system, application, or interactivity, alignment with the conference focus, potential to engage the audience, and overall quality and presentation of the written proposal. Authors are encouraged to address such criteria in their proposals, along with preparing the papers mindful of the quality and rigorous scientific expectations of an ACM publication.
The demo program will include the accepted proposals and may additionally include invited demos from among regular papers accepted for presentation at the conference. Please note that the accepted demos will be included in the ICMI main proceedings.
* Exhibit Submission
Exhibit proposals should be submitted following the same guidelines, formatting, and due dates as for demonstration proposals. Exhibit proposals must be shorter in length (up to two pages), and are more suitable for showcasing mature systems. Like demos, submissions for exhibits should be accompanied by a video (no larger than 200MB), which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in PowerPoint format. Exhibits will not have a paper published in the ICMI 2023 proceedings.
* Facilities
Once accepted, demonstrators and video presenters will be provided with a table, poster board, power outlet and wireless (shared) Internet. Demo and video presenters are expected to bring with them everything else needed for their demo and video presentations, such as hardware, laptops, sensors, PCs, etc. However, if you have special requests such as a larger space, special lighting conditions and so on, we will do our best to arrange them.
Important note for the authors: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
* Attendance
At least one author of all accepted Demonstrations and Exhibits submissions must register for and attend the conference, including the conference demonstrations and exhibits session(s).
* Important Dates
- Submission of demo and exhibit proposals July 14, 2023
- Demo and exhibit notification of acceptance July 28, 2023
- Submission of demo final papers August 13, 2023
* Questions?
For further questions, contact the Demonstrations and Exhibits co-chairs: Kun Qian and Dirk Heylen (icmi2023-demo-chairs(a)acm.org).

ACM ICMI 2023 CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING RESULTS
9-13 October 2023, Paris - France
https://icmi.acm.org/2023/doctoral-consortium/
========================================================
Based on the success of the LBR in the past ICMI, the ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) 2023 continues soliciting submissions for the special venue titled Late-Breaking Results (LBR). The goal of this venue is to provide a way for researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended abstract will be published in the new Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues.
Online Submission
For online paper submissions, please click on the following link:
https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login?next=https%3A//new.precision…
Highlights
* Submission deadline: July 16th, 2023, 23:59 PDT (GMT-7)
* Notifications: August 13th, 2023
* Camera-ready deadline: September 3rd, 2023
* Conference Dates: October 9-13, 2023
* Submission format: Anonymized, short paper (four-page paper in a double column format, not including references), following the submission guidelines, available here: https://icmi.acm.org/2023/guidelines-for-authors/
* Selection process: Peer-Reviewed
* Presentation format: Participation in the conference poster session
* Proceedings: Included in Adjunct Proceedings and ACM Digital Library
* LBR Co-chairs: Jean-Marc Odobez and Chi-Chun Lee
What are Late-Breaking Results?
Late-Breaking Work (LBR) submissions represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting edge or emerging work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or in general, work that has not yet reached a level of maturity expected for the full-length main track papers. However, LBR papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the ICMI community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of this track.
Why submit to the Late-Breaking Results track at ICMI?
Accepted LBR papers will be presented as posters during the conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting thought-provoking discussions about their work in an informal setting that is significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The LBR (posters) track also offers those new to the ICMI community a chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with this field.
Late-Breaking Results papers appear in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the ICMI Proceedings. Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from these papers can be used as the basis for future publications as long as there are "significant" revisions from the original, as per the ACM and ACM SIGCHI policies.
Submission Guidelines
Extended Abstract: An anonymized short paper, four-page paper in a double column ACM conference format, using LaTeX or Word (excluding references). Papers should follow the same guidelines as papers published in the proceedings of the ACM ICMI conference: https://icmi.acm.org/2023/guidelines-for-authors/. The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the ICMI submission system in the “Late-Breaking Results” track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short timeframe for preparing the final camera-ready version and no deadline extensions can be granted.
Anonymization: Authors are instructed not to include author information in their submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation of the LBR to prior work, authors should not remove or anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, we recommend that authors obscure references to their own prior work by referring to it in the third person during submission. If desired, after acceptance, such references can be changed to first-person.
Review Process
LBRs will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work which is under-described in order to fit into the LBR format. The LBR track will undergo an external peer review process. Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors including (1) the relevance of the work to ICMI, (2) the quality of the submission, and (3) the degree to which it "fits" the LBR track (e.g., in-progress results). More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Authors should clearly justify how the proposed ideas can bring some measurable breakthroughs compared to the state-of-the-art of the field.
Attendance
Similar rules for registration and attendance will be applied for authors of LBR papers as for regular papers. Further information will be available later on and given on the main page of the website.

5th Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open
Online Media
November 21-22, 2023
Hosted by the National Research Center for Mathematics and Computer Science
(CWI), Amsterdam, Netherlands.
https://event.cwi.nl/misdoom-2023
The Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open
Online Media (MISDOOM) is returning for its 5th edition on 21 and 22
November 2023. This time, the conference will be hosted by the National
Research Center for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) at Amsterdam
Science Park (Netherlands).
MISDOOM values multidisciplinary research and is designed to be inclusive
of different academic disciplines and practices.
The symposium provides a platform for researchers, industry professionals,
and practitioners from various disciplines such as communication science,
computer science, computational social science, political science,
psychology, journalism, and media studies to come together and share their
knowledge and insights on online disinformation.
*Keynote Speakers*
We are thrilled to announce two outstanding keynote speakers:
- Prof Dr. Judith Möller, University of Hamburg & Leibniz-Institute for
Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut
- Dr. Pepa Atanasova, University of Copenhagen
More details will follow soon. Stay tuned!
*Symposium Topics*
Participants can discuss and contribute to the following list of topics:
- Cross-platform campaigns and their impact (e.g., diffusion of
disinformation and manipulation, observations of campaigns and strategies,
communication strategies, hate speech)
- Approaches to studying misinformation (e.g., qualitative approaches, case
studies, quantitative approaches, experiments)
- User involvement with misinformation on various platforms (e.g.,
engagement, viewership)
- Counter-measures for mis- and disinformation and manipulation (e.g.,
censorship policies, behavioral changes, education, training, professional
codices, legal actions)
- Factors contributing to misinformation beliefs or hampering corrections
of false beliefs (e.g., political polarization, motivated reasoning,
confirmation bias)
- Trending topics in mis- and disinformation research
- Automated fact-checking and misinformation detection
- Models for misinformation diffusion
- Human computation approaches for misinformation detection (crowdsourcing,
human-machine interaction)
- Information quality (information quality dimensions, metrics, ethics of
information quality)
- Generative AI tools and disinformation (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E)
*Industry*
Industries are also invited to participate in the conference by submitting
a contribution describing their approach to countering or detecting
misinformation.
*Submission Instructions*
Given that we welcome both social scientists and computer scientists, and
that the publication strategies of these fields differ, we solicit two
types of contributions that, upon acceptance, result in the same
opportunity to present at MISDOOM:
- Papers
Papers to be published with Springer LNCS proceedings. Up to 15 pages
(including references) in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
format describing original unpublished and new research. The work should be
structured like a research paper, and cover the context of the problem
studied, the research question, approach/methodology, and results in 6 to
15 pages. It should be formatted according to the LNCS Word or LaTeX
template. Such submissions will be judged based on scientific quality and
relevance for the MISDOOM symposium.
- Extended Abstracts
Authors can also choose to submit an Extended Abstract. The extended
abstract should not exceed 500 words, excluding references, and can pertain
to previously published work, ongoing projects, or new research ideas.
There is no particular format for the extended abstract, but it must
include the title, authors, their affiliation, the text of the abstract,
and references, particularly if it involves previously published work.
Submissions are not archival and are not formally published. Additionally,
authors must submit a conference program abstract of no more than 150
words. Authors should add the suffix "(Extended Abstract)" to the title of
their extended abstract submission.
*Important Note about Submissions*
Both contribution types (full papers and extended abstracts) must specify
the discipline they are contributing to as keyword(s) in OpenReview at the
time of submission (they should enter at least one of the two keywords
"computer science" or "social science" in the keyword box).

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 10th Workshop on Argument Mining @ EMNLP 2023
December 7, 2023
https://argmining-org.github.io/2023/
The 10th Workshop on Argument Mining will be held on December 7, 2023 in Singapore together with EMNLP 2023. This will be a hybrid event.
The Workshop on Argument Mining provides a regular forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in argument mining (a.k.a argumentation mining) to both academic and industry researchers. By continuing a series of nine successful previous workshops, this edition will welcome the submission of long, short, and demo papers. It will feature two shared tasks, a panel on the last ten years of Argument Mining, and a keynote talk.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Direct paper submission deadline (Softconf): September 1, 2023
- Paper commitment from ARR: September 15, 2023
- Notification of acceptance: October 7, 2023
- Camera-ready submission: October 18, 2023
- Workshop: December 7, 2023
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics for submissions include but are not limited to:
- Automatic identification of argument components (e.g., premises and conclusions), the structure in which they form an argument, and relations between arguments and counterarguments (e.g., support and attack) in as well as across documents
- Automatic assessment of arguments and argumentation with respect to various properties, such as stance, clarity, and persuasiveness
- Automatic generation of arguments and their components, including the consideration of discourse goals (e.g., stages of a critical discussion or rhetorical strategies)
- Creation and evaluation of argument annotation schemes, relationships to linguistic and discourse annotations, (semi-) automatic argument annotation methods and tools, and creation of argumentation corpora
- Argument mining in specific genres and domains (e.g., social media, education, law, and scientific writing), each with a unique style (e.g., short informal text, highly structured writing, and long-form documents)
- Argument mining and generation from multi-modal and/or multilingual data
- Integration of commonsense and domain knowledge into argumentation models for mining and generation
- Combination of information retrieval methods with argument mining, e.g., in order to build the next generation of argumentative (web) search engines
- Real-world applications, including argument web search, opinion analysis in customer reviews, argument analysis in meetings, misinformation detection
- Perspectivist approaches to subjective argument mining tasks for which multiple ”ground truths” may exist, including multi-perspective machine learning and the creation of non-aggregated datasets
- Reflection on the ethical aspects and societal impact of argument mining methods
- Reflection on the future of argument mining in light of the fast advancement of large language models (LLMs).
SUBMISSIONS
The organizing committee welcomes the submission of long papers, short papers, and demo descriptions. Accepted papers will be presented either via oral or poster presentations. They will be included in the EMNLP proceedings as workshop papers.
- Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Long papers must be no longer than eight pages, including title, text, figures and tables. An unlimited number of pages is allowed for references. Two additional pages are allowed for appendices, and an extra page is allowed in the final version to address reviewers’ comments.
- 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, such as a small, focused contribution; a negative result; or an interesting application nugget. Short papers must be no longer than four pages, including title, text, figures and tables. An unlimited number of pages is allowed for references. One additional page is allowed for the appendix, and an extra page is allowed in the final version to address reviewers’ comments.
- Demo descriptions must be no longer than four pages, including title, text, examples, figures, tables, and references. A separate one-page document should be provided to the workshop organizers for demo descriptions, specifying furniture and equipment needed for the demo.
Multiple Submissions
ArgMining 2023 will not consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another conference or workshop at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the review period.
ArgMining 2023 will also accept submissions of ARR-reviewed papers, provided that the ARR reviews and meta-reviews are available by the ARR commitment deadline (September 15). However, ArgMining 2023 will not accept direct submissions that are actively under review in ARR, or that overlap significantly (>25%) with such submissions.
Submission Format
All long, short, and demonstration submissions must follow the two-column EMNLP 2023 format. Authors are expected to use the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style template (https://2023.emnlp.org/calls/style-and-formatting/). Submissions must conform to the official EMNLP style guidelines, which are contained in these templates. Submissions must be electronic, in PDF format.
Submission Link and Deadline For Direct Submissions
Authors have to fill in the submission form in the START system and upload a PDF of their paper before September 1, 2023, 11:59 pm UTC-12h (anywhere on earth).
https://softconf.com/emnlp2023/ArgMining2023/
For the ARR commitment process, we will provide details in our second call for paper later in the summer.
Double Blind Review
ArgMining 2023 will follow the ACL policies for preserving the integrity of double-blind review for long and short paper submissions. Papers must not include authors’ names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references or links (such as github) that reveal the author’s identity, e.g., “We previously showed (Smith, 1991) …” must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as “Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) …” Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Papers should not refer, for further detail, to documents that are not available to the reviewers. For example, do not omit or redact important citation information to preserve anonymity. Instead, use third person or named reference to this work, as described above (“Smith showed” rather than “we showed”). If important citations are not available to reviewers (e.g., awaiting publication), these paper/s should be anonymised and included in the appendix. They can then be referenced from the submission without compromising anonymity. Papers may be accompanied by a resource (software and/or data) described in the paper, but these resources should also be anonymized.
Unlike long and short papers, demo descriptions will not be anonymous. Demo descriptions should include the authors’ names and affiliations, and self-references are allowed.
ANONYMITY PERIOD (taken from the EMNLP call for papers in verbatim for the most part)
The following rules and guidelines are meant to protect the integrity of double-blind review and ensure that submissions are reviewed fairly. The rules make reference to the anonymity period, which runs from 1 month before the direct submission deadline (starting August 1, 2023) up to the date when your paper is accepted or rejected (October 7, 2023). For papers committed from ARR, the anonymity period starts August 15, 2023. Papers that are withdrawn during this period will no longer be subject to these rules.
You may not make a non-anonymized version of your paper available online to the general community (for example, via a preprint server) during the anonymity period. Versions of the paper include papers having essentially the same scientific content but possibly differing in minor details (including title and structure) and/or in length.
If you have posted a non-anonymized version of your paper online before the start of the anonymity period, you may submit an anonymized version to the conference. The submitted version must not refer to the non-anonymized version, and you must inform the programme chairs that a non-anonymized version exists.
You may not update the non-anonymized version during the anonymity period, and we ask you not to advertise it on social media or take other actions that would further compromise double-blind reviewing during the anonymity period.
You may make an anonymized version of your paper available (for example, on OpenReview), even during the anonymity period.
For arXiv submissions, August 1, 2023 11:59pm UTC-12h (anywhere on earth) is the latest time the paper can be uploaded if you plan a direct submission to the workshop (or August 15, 2023 for papers from ARR committed to the workshops on September 15, 2023).
