COLING 2025 : [CFT] International Conference on Computational Linguistics - Last Call for Tutorials
by Sakhar AlKhereyf 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Dear Colleagues, This is the last call for tutorial proposals for COLING 2025. Due: July, 31, 2024 CFT: The 2025 International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2025) invites proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. We seek proposals in all areas of natural language processing and computation, language resources (LRs) and evaluation, including spoken language, sign language, and multimodal interaction. We invite proposals for three types of tutorials, and we especially encourage submissions from early-career researchers: Cutting-edge: tutorials that cover advances in newly emerging areas. The tutorials are expected to give a brief introduction to the topic, but participants are assumed to have some prior knowledge of the topic. The focus of the class will be on discussing the most recent developments in the field, and it will spend a considerable amount of time pointing out open research questions and important novel research directions. Introductory to computational linguistics/NLP topics: tutorials that provide introductions to topics that are established in the COLING communities. The lecturers provide an overview of the development of the field from the beginning until now. Attendees are not expected to come with prior knowledge. They acquire sufficient understanding of the topic to understand the most recent research in the field. Introduction to Key Concepts in Linguistics including Semantics, Syntax, Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, and Sociolinguistics: tutorials that provide introductions to topics that are established or emerging in areas adjacent to CL/NLP. The lecturers provide an overview of the development of the field from the beginning until now. Attendees are not expected to come with prior knowledge. They acquire a sufficient understanding of the topic to understand the most recent research in the field and the relevance for the CL/NLP domains. Each of these types of tutorials can either be half-day (4h long including a coffee break (30m long)) or full-day (8h long including two coffee breaks (1h long in total) but excluding a lunch break). In all cases, the aim of a tutorial is primarily to help understand a scientific problem, its tractability, and its theoretical and practical implications. Presentations of particular technological solutions or systems are welcome, provided that they serve as illustrations of broader scientific considerations. None of the tutorial types are expected to be “self-invited” long talks – the content should be a good balance between research from multiple groups and perspectives, not only fromof the teachers of the tutorial. The tutorials will be held at COLING 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 19 and 20 January, 2025. Important Dates All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”). Proposal submission due July 31, 2024 Notification of acceptance August 31, 2024 COLIING2025 tutorials January 19-20, 2025 COLING2025 conference January 21-24, 2025 Diversity and Inclusion We particularly encourage submissions of underrepresented groups in computational linguistics, researchers from any demographic or geographic minority, with disabilities, or others. In the evaluation of the proposal, we will take these aspects into account to create a varied and balanced set of tutorials. This includes several aspects of diversity, namely (1) how the topic of the tutorial contributes to improved diversity and increased fairness in the field, (2) if the topic is particularly relevant for a specific underrepresented group of potential participants, (3), if the presenters are from an underrepresented group. Submission Details They should contain: A title that helps the potential attendees to understand what the tutorial will be about. An abstract that summarizes the topics, goals, target audience, and type (see above) of the tutorial (this abstract will also be on the LREC-COLING website). A section called “Introduction” that explains the topic and summarizes the starting point and relevance for our community and in general. A section called “Target Audience” that explains for whom the tutorial will be developed and what the expected prior knowledge is. Clearly specify what attendees should know and be able to practically do to get the most out of your tutorial. Examples of what to specify include prior mathematical knowledge, knowledge of specific modeling approaches and methods, programming skills, or adjacent areas like computer vision. Also specify the number of expected participants. A section called “Outline” in which the various topics are explained. This can be a list of bullet points or a set of paragraphs explaining the content. Explain what you intend and how long the tutorial will be. A section called “Diversity Considerations”, discussing each of the three aspects of diversity mentioned above or others. A section called “Reading List”: What are introductory papers or books that potential attendees can read to get a first impression of the tutorial content? What do you expect them to have read before attending? What does provide further information beyond the content of the tutorial? A section called “Presenters” in which each tutorial presenter is briefly introduced in one paragraph, including their research interests, their areas of expertise for the tutorial topic, and their experience in teaching a diverse and international audience. A section called “Other Information” which should include information on how many people are expected to participate and how you came to this estimate. You can also explain any other aspects that you find important, including special equipment that you would need. A section called “Ethics Statement” which discusses ethical considerations related to the topics of the tutorial. The proposals should be submitted no later than 31 July, 2024, 11:59 PM Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11, “anywhere on Earth”). Submission is electronic. Please submit the proposals using the START system at this URL: https://softconf.com/coling2025/tutorialsCL25 <https://softconf.com/coling2025/tutorialsCL25> Please note that tutorials should either be 100% in-person or 100% virtual; hybrid formats will not be allowed. For in-person tutorials, at least one tutorial organiser should be physically present to run the tutorial at COLING. Evaluation Criteria The tutorial proposals will be evaluated according to their originality and impact, the expected interest level of participants, as well as the quality of the organizing team and Program Committee and their contribution to the diversity of the conference. Each tutorial will be evaluated regarding its clarity and preparedness, novelty or timely character of the topic, the instructor’s experience, the audience interest, and the potential to increase diversity in our community. Instructor Responsibilities Accepted tutorial presenters will be notified by the date mentioned above. They must then provide abstracts of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference registration material by the specific deadlines. The abstract needs to be provided in ASCII format. The summary will be submitted in PDF format and can be updated from the version submitted for review.

Last CfP (submission deadline on August 9th) - OM-2024: The 19th International Workshop on Ontology Matching collocated with ISWC2024
by Huanyu Li 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

*****We apologize for possible cross-posting***** *************** Last Call for Papers *************** The 19th International Workshop on ONTOLOGY MATCHING (OM-2024) http://om.ontologymatching.org/2024/ November 11th or 12th, 2024, International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop Program, Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, Baltimore, USA. BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed with the matched ontologies to interoperate. The workshop has three goals: 1. To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial and final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology matching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect to data interlinking, knowledge graph and web table matching tasks. 2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2024 campaign: http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2024/ 3. To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowledge embeddings. TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to: Business and use cases for matching (e.g., big, open, closed data); Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios; Formal foundations and frameworks for matching; Novel matching methods, including link prediction, ontology-based access; Matching and knowledge graphs; Matching and deep learning; Matching and embeddings; Matching and big data; Matching and linked data; Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them; Privacy-aware matching; Process model matching; Large-scale and efficient matching techniques; Matcher selection, combination and tuning; User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects); Explanations in matching; Social and collaborative matching; Uncertainty in matching; Expressive alignments; Reasoning with alignments; Alignment coherence and debugging; Alignment management; FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) alignments; Matching for traditional applications (e.g., data science); Matching for emerging applications (e.g., web tables, knowledge graphs). SUBMISSIONS Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and posters/statements of interest addressing different issues of ontology matching as well as participating in the OAEI 2024 campaign. Long technical papers should be of max. 12 pages. Short technical papers should be of max. 6 pages. Posters/statements of interest should not exceed 3 pages. All contributions have to be prepared using the CEUR-ART, 1-column style.

by Fokkens, A.S. (Antske) 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

SIGNLL (ACL's Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning) invites proposals for the CoNLL Shared Task 2025. Background Since 1999, CoNLL (the Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning) has regularly included a shared task in which training and test data are provided by the organizers, which allows participating systems to be evaluated and compared in a systematic way. Descriptions of the participating systems and an evaluation of their performance are presented both at the conference and in the proceedings. Previous shared tasks Previous shared tasks have been devoted to: * Chunking (1999, 2000) * Clause identifications (2001) * Named entity recognition (2002, 2003) * Semantic role labeling (2004, 2005) * Dependency parsing (2006, 2007) * Joint parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies (2008, 2009) * Hedge detection (2010) * Co-reference resolution (2011, 2012) * Grammatical error correction (2013, 2014) * Universal morphological reinflection (2017, 2018) * Multilingual parsing from raw text to universal dependencies (2017, 2018) * Cross-framework Meaning Representation Parsing (2019, 2020) * BabyLM Challenge (2023) Submission guidelines For CoNLL-2025 proposals are invited for any shared task involving natural language learning and processing, that will directly contribute to theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics (rather than driven by particular engineering applications). Proposals should contain the following information: * Names and affiliations of the members of the organizing committee (including a designated contact person). * Description of the shared task, including its relevance to theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics. * Description of the process for selecting, acquiring and preparing the data for training and evaluation, including conditions of availability. * Description of the procedure for evaluating the performance of participating systems, including the availability of evaluation software. * Description of any ethical or licensing issues that may arise from the organization and participation in the proposed task. * Any other relevant information. The exact timeline of the shared task will be determined according to the venue CoNLL will be collocated with (either NAACL, ACL or EMNLP; aiming for ACL). Proposals should be submitted by October 1, 2024. Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to proposals(a)signll.org, from the email of the contact person, with the subject “CoNLL-2025 Shared Task Proposal”. A tentative timeline for the CoNLL Shared Task 2025 is as follows: * October 1, 2024: deadline for proposals * October 15, 2024: confirmation of acceptance * December 15, 2024: first version of task website online * December 15, 2024: first call for papers out * January 30, 2019: all trial datasets (plus documentation and scorer) available * February 15, 2025: test data available * April 15, 2025: test phase ends * April 22, 2025: submission of system description papers Proposals should make clear that a similar schedule can be implemented, especially for the preparation of resources (trial/training/development/test data sets). Proposals should be 2 to 3 pages long, in PDF format. We encourage proposers to include appendices with examples that help understanding the data and type of evaluation. Proposals will be reviewed by the SIGNLL steering committee. Proposers might be contacted during the reviewing period to provide further information. Potential proposers should feel free to indicate the intention to submit by emailing proposals(a)signll.org. We are also happy to answer your questions about the process, or to solicit early feedback for a proposal. -- prof. dr.
