19th IEEE eScience Conference (eScience 2023)
October 9-13, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
https://www.escience-conference.org/2023/
The 19th IEEE eScience Conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus on October 9-13, 2023.
eScience 2023 will host a number of workshops which will be co-located with the main
conference on Monday, October 9 and Tuesday, October 10, 2023.
The eScience conference has a long history of hosting well-attended workshops. These
workshops share the goal of bringing together international and interdisciplinary research
communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies.
Workshops play a crucial role in the conference by providing an opportunity for researchers
and practitioners to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and
to have in-depth discussions of particular topics of interest to the community.
eScience 2023 will host the following workshops:
● 1st Workshop on cItizeN Science engagemenT based on Ict soLutions (INSTIL 2023)
http://www.instil-science.eu

*Task:* We call for automated systems to extract and normalize the findings
in dysmorphology physical examinations. The dataset consists of 3136
de-identified observations with dysmorphic findings manually annotated and
normalized with their corresponding Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms.
Both extraction and normalization are challenging. The extraction due to
the descriptive style of the examinations which, for conciseness, report
findings with disjoint and overlapping mentions. The normalization due to
the large scale of the HPO ontology which requires a normalizer to learn
the task without supervision since our training set does not provide
examples of all terms in the HPO. See
https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-viii/track-3/
for details.
*Motivation:* The dysmorphology physical examination catalogs minor
morphological differences in patients’ bodies and may identify general
medical signs such as neurologic dysfunction. Its findings enable
correlations of patients with known rare genetic diseases and allow
researchers to delineate undescribed genetic conditions. These medical
findings are nearly always captured as unstructured free text within the
electronic health record, making it unavailable for downstream
computational analysis. Advanced Natural Language Processing methods are
therefore required to retrieve the information from the records.
*In short: *
• 3136 de-identified observations with dysmorphic and normal findings
manually annotated and normalized with their corresponding Human Phenotype
Ontology terms
• Baseline systems available (e.g. doc2HPO, NeuralCR, PhenoTagger,
PhenoBERT, and txt2HPO)
• Codalab opened at https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/11351
• Evaluation period: Sept. 15, 9:00 UTC - Sept. 18, 23:59 UTC

Translation for Indian Languages (MTIL)
2023------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
We invite all IR and NLP researchers and enthusiasts to participate in the
MTIL track (https://mtilfire.github.io/mtil/2023/) held in conjunction with
the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE) 2023 (
http://fire.irsi.res.in/).
Indian languages have many linguistic complexities. Though some Indian
languages share syntactic similarities, some possess intricate
morphological structures. At the same time, some Indian languages are
low-resource. Therefore the machine translation models should address these
unique challenges in translating between Indian languages.
The MTIL track consists of two tasks:
1. *General Translation Task (Task 1):* Task participants should build a
machine translation model to translate sentences of the following language
pairs:
1. Hindi-Gujarati
2. Hindi-Kannada
3. Kannada-Hindi
4. Hindi-Odia
5. Odia-Hindi
6. Hindi-Punjabi
7. Punjabi-Hindi
8. Hindi-Sindhi
9. Urdu-Kashmiri
10. Telugu-Hindi
11. Hindi-Telugu
12. Urdu-Hindi
13. Hindi-Urdu
2. *Domain Specific Translation Task (Task 2)*: Task participants will
build machine translation models for Governance and Healthcare domains.
1. Healthcare:
a. Hindi-Gujarati
b. Kannada-Hindi
c. Hindi-Odia
d. Odia-Hindi
e. Hindi-Punjabi
f. Kannada-Hindi
2. Governance:
a. Hindi-Gujarati
b. Kannada-Hindi
c. Hindi-Odia
d. Odia-Hindi
e. Hindi-Punjabi
f. Kannada-Hindi
*Dataset:*
The primary source of parallel language pairs is Bharat Parallel Corpus
Collection (BPCC), released by AI4Bharat (https://ai4bharat.iitm.ac.in/bpcc
).
Participants are encouraged to add datasets of their choice, including
parallel corpora and monolingual datasets, to train their models.
More information on registration and participation in the track can be
found here: https://mtilfire.github.io/mtil/2023/
This track is being done in association with BHASHINI (

==================================================
*CFP: ML/NLP Competition on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs
(CoLiE)*
To advance the field of implicit temporal information retrieval from a
text, this competition aims to challenge participants to develop automatic
methods to identify the literary epochs of a given text, which is
considered here as an implicit temporal context of a book.
The task on Automatic Classification of Literary Epochs (CoLiE) aims at
automatic identification of the literary epoch of a given text from its
writing style: (1) Romanticism (1798-1837), (2) Victorian Literature
(1837-1901), (3) Modernism (1900-1945), (4) Postmodernism (1945-2000), and
(5) our days (from 2000).
The competition is held as a part of the IACT’23
<https://en.sce.ac.il/news/iact23> workshop, held on July 27, 2023, in
conjunction with the 46th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research
and Development in Information Retrieval
This competition is open to anyone with a passion for information
retrieval, machine learning, and natural language processing. Whether you
are a seasoned expert or a newcomer to the field, we welcome you to
participate and extend the boundaries of automated text analysis!

The Industry Day of CIKM ’23 will be held on Sunday 22nd Oct 2023 in Birmingham, UK. As
with the main conference, which will be held on-site, we anticipate that all presentations
for the Industry Day will be delivered in person. Exceptions may be made in case of severe
travelling restrictions.
We call for technical talks which will cover how topics of interest relevant to the
broader CIKM community, including but not limited to knowledge management, information
retrieval, efficient data processing, neural and large language models, evaluation,
recommender systems, data mining, and others found in the CIKM ‘23 Call for Papers are
used in an industrial setting. For example, how machine learning is put to use in
practical scenarios, how user behaviour can be observed and interpreted, how to improve
systems in practice, how industrial pipelines can be optimised, and how scale is a
challenge in more ways than the obvious. We also encourage talk proposals from small
companies, such as startups or spin-offs from either a university project or a large
company
Talks may address challenges, solutions, and case studies of interesting and innovative
systems in areas including but not limited to:
* Innovative approaches used in deployed systems and product
* System design from industry practitioners which identify best practices and design
principles for machine learning systems and their scalability aspects
* Metrics and measurement techniques used to understand performance of production systems
* Practical challenges such as data, privacy, integrity, scale, regulation, etc.
* Domain specific challenges and niche focuses
* Connections with academia to solve interesting problems, including talk proposals from
academics spending time in industry, or vice-versa, covering insights for other
practitioners
The authors of accepted proposals will be invited to submit an abstract to be published in
the conference proceeding. Each presentation will be 15-20 minutes long including
Q&A. Submissions should include:
- Title and abstract
- Speaker's bio
- Relevance to above themes and CIKM topics
- CIKM is a technical conference, so preference will be given to talks describing applied
research and technical challenges rather than product presentations.
- Speakers will be asked to confirm their presence at the conference if their submission is
accepted.
