ELRA Catalogue of Language Resources - Update
by info＠elda.org 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

[Apologies for multiple postings] We are happy to announce that the following 2 speech corpora are available in our catalogue. *ÌròyìnSpeech <https://catalog.elra.info/en-us/repository/browse/ELRA-S0492/> * ISLRN:*012-405-700-001-6 <http://www.islrn.org/resources/012-405-700-001-6>* A modern, high-fidelity, multi-speaker, Yorùbá read speech corpus suitable for Speech Synthesis, Automatic Speech Recognition and Computational Linguistics research. The subject matter is drawn from the Broadcast News domain as well as fictional texts, delivering a multi-purpose, contemporary speech dataset. This corpus consists in 34000 read sentences, 42 hours of audio recorded under 48kHz, 16bit Linear PCM WAV format, for ca. 12.5 Gigabytes. *Slovak Autistic and Non-Autistic Child Speech Corpus (SANACS)* <https://catalog.elra.info/en-us/repository/browse/ELRA-S0491/> ISLRN: *016-848-885-785-1* <http://www.islrn.org/resources/016-848-885-785-1> SANACS Corpus contains 67 recorded sessions of interactions between two native Slovak speakers. In 37 sessions an autistic child interacts with a neurotypical adult experimenter, and in 30 control sessions a neurotypical child interacts with the same neurotypical adult experimenter. The children were 6-12 years old (mean 9.2). In all sessions, the two participants are involved in a collaborative, task-oriented communication based on the Maps Task. Most tasks consist of six trials: a practice and two real trials where the experimenter is the describer and the child the follower, and then one practice and two real trials when the roles switched and the child is the describer and the experimenter is the follower. For more information on the catalogue or if you would like to enquire about having your resources distributed by ELRA, please contact us @ <mailto:contact@elda.org>. _________________________________________ Visit the ELRA Catalogue of Language Resources <http://catalog.elra.info> Archives <http://www.elda.org/en/catalogues/language-resources-announcements/> of ELRA Language Resources Catalogue Updates

2nd CfP FDIA@ESSIR 2024 – Future Directions in Information Access
by Ingo Frommholz 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

*DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 14* Fancy a trip to Amsterdam? The 12th edition of our PhD Symposium on Future Directions in Information Access (FDIA 2024, https://2024.essir.eu/fdia-2024), organised by the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group, will be held in conjunction with the 15th European Summer School on Information Retrieval (ESSIR 2024, https://2024.essir.eu/, 1-5 July 2024). We cordially invite Masters and doctoral (PhD) students as well as early-stage researchers to submit a paper on their research topic to the symposium. You’ll learn a lot about Information Retrieval while at the school and get great feedback on your topic, meet lots of other students, and hear inspiring talks. The FDIA Symposium provides an excellent opportunity for students to give pointers to their work and obtain experience in presenting and communicating their research. FDIA 2024 is the next chapter in a long list of previous events. Previous symposiums were held in Vienna, Austria (with ESSIR 2023), Lisbon, Portugal (with ESSIR 2022), Milan, Italy in 2019 (with ESSIR 2019), Tianjin, China in 2018 (with ICTIR 2018), Barcelona, Spain in 2017 (with ESSIR 2017); Thessaloniki, Greece in 2015 (with ESSIR 2015); Granada, Spain in 2013 (with ESSIR 2013); Koblenz, Germany in 2011 (with ESSIR 2011), Padova, Italy in 2009 (with ESSIR 2009); London, England in 2008, and Glasgow, Scotland in 2007 (with ESSIR 2007). They have provided an entertaining and exciting forum for early-stage researchers for sharing new research ideas. Why future directions, because we encourage submissions that focus on early research such as pilot studies, presenting challenges and future opportunities, conceptual and theoretical work, and the contributions from doctoral work. Why information access, because it captures the broader ideas of information retrieval, storage, and management to include interaction and usage. We especially encourage submissions on formative research ideas which present a summary of their doctoral work, initial empirical findings/pilot studies, explore conceptual and/or theoretical models, and/or describe current challenges and opportunities. Submissions focusing on new directions and emerging work in Information Access/Retrieval which create discussion and provoke a reaction are strongly encouraged. Areas of research include, but are not limited to: - Information Retrieval Theory - Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval, User Modelling, Interactive IR - Collaborative Information Seeking and Searching - IR for Good - IR Evaluation - Learning to Rank - Retrieval-augmented Generation - Neural and Generative IR - Multimedia and Multimodal IR - Recommender Systems - Web IR - Clustering and Categorization - Enterprise Search - Conversational Agents, knowledge graphs - IR Applications (e.g. Digital Humanities, News IR, Legal IR, IR and Bibliometrics, Academic Search and Recommendation, etc.) - NeuraSearch (use of fMRI, EEG, fNTIR, Eye Tracking, etc. in IR) Papers should be 4-8 pages in length excluding references for presentation and poster (e.g., an outline of the PhD or Master’s project, a discussion of topics and ideas). Submissions should be converted to PDF and submitted via Easy Chair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=fdia2024. We plan to publish the proceedings at CEUR-WS.org. Please use the one-column CEUR style (CEURART.zip). We strongly encourage students to submit as a solo author, but papers with several authors are welcome as well. A selection of papers will be invited to give a short oral and/or poster presentation. IMPORTANT DATES June 14, 2024: Submission deadline July 20, 2024: Notification deadline July 3, 2024: FDIA in Amsterdam (during ESSIR July 1-5, 2024) CONTACT Please email fdia2024(a)easychair.org.
