Apologies for cross-posting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7thWorkshop on Indian Language Data: Resources and Evaluation (WILDRE) Venue: Lingotto Conference Centre - Torino, Italy (Organized under LREC-COLING 2024 (20-25 May 2024)) Website: http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in/conf/wildre7 WILDRE-7, the 7th Workshop on Indian Language Data: Resources and Evaluation is proposed to be organised in Lingotto Conference Centre - Torino, Italy under the LREC-COLING platform. India has a huge linguistic diversity and has seen concerted efforts from the Indian government and industry to develop language resources. European Language Resource Association (ELRA) and its associate organizations have been very active and successful in addressing the challenges and opportunities related to language resource creation and evaluation. It is therefore a big opportunity for resource creators of Indian languages to showcase their work on this platform and also to interact and learn from those involved in similar initiatives all over the world. The broader objectives of the WILDRE will be To map the status of Indian Language Resources To investigate challenges related to creating and sharing various levels of language resources To promote a dialogue between language resource developers and users To provide an opportunity for researchers from India to collaborate with researchers from other parts of the world Dates for Short/Long papers and Posters and Demos (tentative) February 28, 2023: Paper submissions due March 28, 2024: Paper notification acceptance April 10, 2024: Camera-ready papers due SUBMISSIONS Papers must describe original, completed/ in progress and unpublished work. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee members. Accepted papers will be given up to 10 pages (for full papers) 5 pages (for short papers and posters) in the workshop proceedings, and will be presented as oral paper or poster. Papers should be formatted according to the LREC-COLING style sheet, which is provided on the LREC-COLING 2024 website ( https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/). Papers should be submitted in PDF format to the LREC-COLING website ( https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/wildre-7/) We are seeking submissions under the following category Full papers (10 pages) Short papers (work in progress: 5 pages) Posters (innovative ideas/proposals, research proposal of students) Demo (of working online/standalone systems) WILDRE-7 will have a special focus on Demos of Indian Language Technology. In the past few years, as more resources have been developed and made available, there has been an increased activity in developing usable technology using these. WILDRE-7 would like to encourage and widen the Demo track to allow the community to showcase their demos and have mutually beneficial interactions with each other as well as resource developers. WILDRE-7 is seeking full, short papers, posters and demos on the following topics related to Indian Language Resources: Digital Humanities, heritage computing Corpora - text, speech, multimodal, methodologies, annotation and tools Lexicons and Machine-readable dictionaries Ontologies, Grammars Language resources for NLP/ IR/Speech tasks, tools and Infrastructure for language resources Standards or specifications for language resources application Licensing and copyright issues Data mining Text summarization Both submission and review processes will be handled electronically. The review process will be double-blind. The workshop website will provide the submission guidelines and the link for the electronic submission. When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC-COLING authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.), to enable their reuse, and replicability of experiments, including evaluation ones, etc. For further information on this initiative, please refer to https://lrec-coling-2024.org/ Shared Task Following the success of the five WILDRE workshops, WILDRE-7 will include Code-mixed Less-Resourced Sentiment Analysis (Code-mixed) and Discourse Machine Translation (DiscoMT) Shared Tasks. The organizers of shared tasks will provide datasets and evaluation platforms to evaluate systems developed by the participants. For further information on this initiative, please refer to http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in/conf/wildre7 Workshop Organisers Girish Nath Jha, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India Kalika Bali, Microsoft Research India Lab, Bangalore, India Sobha L, AU-KBC, Anna University, Chennai, India Atul Kr. Ojha, University of Galway, Ireland & Panlingua Language Processing LLP, India Workshop contact: Atul Kr. Ojha, University of Galway, Ireland & Panlingua Language Processing LLP, India, shashwatup9k(a)gmail.com Identify, Describe and Share your LRs Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new “regular” feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data. As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC-COLING 2024 endorses the need to uniquely identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC-COLING papers will be offered at submission time. -- Thanks, Atul

Shared Task on Offline Harm Potential Identification (HarmPot-ID) Fourth Workshop on Threat, Aggression and Cyberbullying May 20, 2024 Lingotto Conference Centre - Torino (Italia) @ LREC-COLING 2024 *Task Website:* https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/17646 *Workshop Website:* https://sites.google.com/view/trac2024 ==================================== Call for Participation =================================== We are happy to announce that the Fourth Workshop on Threat, Aggression and Cyberbullying will be co-located with LREC-COLING 2024 on May 20, 2024. TRAC-2024 is introducing the novel task of predicting the offline harm potential of social media posts - broadly the task is to predict whether a specific post is likely to initiate, incite or further exaggerate an offline harm event (viz. riots, mob lynching, murder, rape, etc). It will consist of two sub-tasks. - Sub-task 1a: What is the offline harm potential of a document? This will be a four-class classification task where the participants will be required to predict the level of offline harm potential - 0 (it will never lead to offline harm, in any context), 1 (it could lead to incite an offline harm event given specific conditions or context), 2 (it is most likely to incite in most contexts or probably initiate an offline harm event in specific contexts) 3 (it is certainly going to incite or initiate an offline harm event in any context). Sub-task 1b: Who is/are the most likely target(s) of the offline harm? If an offline harm event is triggered, who are going to be the most affected groups of people? In this task, only the broad category of identities of the target(s) are to be predicted. It will be a five-class classification task - Gender Religion Descent Caste Political Ideology Important Dates ============== Training Set Release: February 7, 2024 Test Set Release: March 10, 2024 Submission due: March 13, 2024 System Description Papers due: March 21, 2024 Reviews for papers: March 27, 2024 Camera-ready due: March 31, 2024

Translation in Transition - Deadline extension
by Ekaterina Lapshinova-Koltunski 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

The deadline for the 7th edition of the Translation in Transition conference (https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024) has been extended to Feb 23, 2024. This series of conferences has established itself as a central meeting point for researchers in the field of empirical translation studies through previous editions in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent, Barcelona, Kent and Prague. In its 7th edition held at the Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi it once again wants to be a forum of discussion for empirical research that is based on any kind of empirical methodology and that advances our knowledge in the fields of translation and interpreting. While the Batumi edition will be open to various topics within empirical translation studies, we also want to put special emphasis on two directions: low-resourced and less-researched language pairs, as well as an interplay between different methods and data types, e.g. combining product and process research. *Final Call for Papers* We invite original submissions that deal with any of the conference topics. To encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas and experience among the researchers of various fields of specialization, preference will be given to interdisciplinary contributions that cover two or more of the conference topics. The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts that should be between 800 and 1000 words long (excluding references) by February 16, 2024. Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be submitted through the open review system (https://openreview.net/group?id=TT/2024/Conference) and reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be presented either as oral talks or as posters. All submissions must follow the abstract submission instructions (https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024/submission-instructions). We welcome contributions (in English) grounded in empirical approaches to studying both interlingual and intralingual translation, as well as theoretical and position papers on the following topics: * Empirical methods and models (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) or methods derived from computational linguistics and data mining (e.g. computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to translation studies * Presentation of new resources for translation studies (spoken corpora, multimodal corpora, interpreting transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages, lexicons, databases, etc.) * Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and methods and other sources of data * Detection and analysis of specific features of translation (translationese, interpretese, editese, machine translationese, post-editese, etc.) using parallel and comparable corpora * Analysis and interpretation of variation in translation, e.g. variation driven through register/genre, expertise, mode, etc. * Empirical analysis of specialised translation, e.g. legal translation, technical translation and others * Analysis of non-canonical forms of translation/interpreting and multilingual communication * Cognitive and computational insights of variation in translation and translationese * Cognitive modeling of translation processes, including cognitive load measurements * Translation quality assessment and evaluation using corpora or experimental research * Translation in specific settings: between close languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc. * The use of corpora in translator and/or interpreter training * Improving understanding of translation in the context of NLP * Computer-assisted translation and/or interpreting (CAT/CAI) * Machine translation (MT): analysis, evaluation, selection and preparation of data for MT, ‘machine translationese’Important dates · Conference abstract submission due: Feb 23, 2024 · Notification of acceptance: April 8, 2024 · Final abstract version due: April 29, 2024 · Registration open: May 6, 2024 · Early-bird registration: June 6, 2024 · Conference date: September 23-25, 2024 The conference is organized by the Department of European Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi (Georgia) in cooperation with the Institute of Translation Studies and Specialised Communication, University of Hildesheim (Germany).
