Call for Papers: Miniconference on the temporal dimension of data--“The times they are a-changin’” in Digital Humanities--hosted by the 2025 International Digital Humanities Conference, Lisbon, Portugal

CFP: “The times they are a-changin’” in Digital Humanities – a mini-conference on the temporal dimension of data Date: July 15th (DH2025 Pre-Conference Program) Digital Humanities Conference “Accessibility and Citizenship” 2025, 14 - 18 July 2025, Lisbon, Portugal Digital Humanities (DH) methods have advanced significantly in recent decades. However, several blind spots still persist across the field, the insufficient attention to temporal dynamics in data being one of them. Temporal change plays an integral role in a number of disciplines within DH, affecting data, methodology, analyses, and the field itself (Glawion et al., 2025). Digital art history, especially provenance research, is challenged by changing or missing object information, such as varying titles (Kim, 2015) or attributions (Hofbauer, 2021), complicating access and tracing their (ownership) history over time and space. In geographical studies on mobility, this movement in space and time is mediated by practices of sense-making changing slowly over time (Creswell, 2010). Discourse analysis examines time frames around key public events that set specific communicative strategies in motion (Islentyeva, 2022), corpus-based studies employ quantitative linguistic analyses to generate meaningful time periods for studying linguistic change (e.g., Gries & Hilpert, 2008), and studies of register, text varieties associated with the situation of use (Biber & Conrad, 2019), are beginning to examine emergence and evolution of registers as cultural constructs (Gracheva et al., forthcoming). Digital Literary Studies raise questions about cultural evolution (Sobchuk, 2023), genre history (Wagner-Egelhaaf, 2014) and editorial histories of literary works (Bottigheimer, 1987) on the level of texts, the evolution of authorial style over the course of an author’s life (Piper, 2018) and different types of time-series data such as eye movements and EEG data in empirical studies of reader-response (Dimigen et al., 2011; Weitin et al., 2024). We particularly invite proposals that relate to the theme of temporal change, including but not limited to the following questions: How should we address temporal change methodologically in DH? What role should visualizations play? Are time periods implemented to categorize data from the start (top-down), or are they the result of data-driven classification (bottom-up)? And how can we ensure that project data remains FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) across disciplines long after the project concludes? Target audience: The mini-conference welcomes researchers from all career stages from diverse disciplines and backgrounds who are engaged with the temporal dimensions of data. We encourage submissions from those involved in DH, data analysis, historical studies, linguistic and literary research, art history, geo-spatial studies and related fields. Submission types: The mini-conference invites submissions of finalized projects or work-in-progress reports on theoretical or methodological reflections, empirical studies, and/or practical applications on the topic of time in DH (15 min. + 15 min. discussions). Submissions can focus on but are not limited to the domains of “images & objects”, “text & language” and “place & space”. Submission format and deadline: Submissions should include a presentation title, the presenter’s affiliation, and an abstract of max. 250 words (bibliography excluded). Please send your submission as a single PDF file to anastasia.glawion(a)fau.de. The submission deadline is April 10, 2025; acceptance notifications will be sent out by April 30, 2025.

Appel : 1st Call for papers: MLP-LLM 2025 Workshop @ CORIA-TALN 2025
by Aman Sinha 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

**** French version below **** * Workshop on Medical Language Processing in the era of Large Language Models (MLP-LLM 2025) * Colocated with CORIA-TALN 2025 -- 30 June 2025 , Marseille * Call for Papers * [ https://atilf-umr7118.github.io/MLPLLM2025/ | https://atilf-umr7118.github.io/MLPLLM2025/ ] The advent of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized natural language processing across various domains, including healthcare. However, the complexities of medical language—marked by specialized terminologies, the use of abbreviations and code ontologies such as ICD, UMLS or SNOMED, implicit contextual dependencies (based on the context, the medication information may be different: temporality, action, certainty, etc.) —pose unique challenges and opportunities. Medical NLP is at critical stakes, given the importance of finding the right diagnosis and treatment for each patient. Moreover, the field of health includes not only the human aspect represented by the practitioner-patient relationship, but also the contact with the biological world (animals, plants, viruses, microbes). This workshop, MLP-LLM, aims to bring together researchers from NLP, medicine, bioNLP and linguistics to explore advancements, limitations, and ethical considerations of using LLMs in medical contexts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Fine-tuning and adapting LLMs for medical applications and for different languages. * Addressing biases in medical language understanding along with LLM hallucinations. * Proposing evaluation methods to assess the quality of medical NLP tools. * Ensuring transparency, interpretability, and uncertainty awareness in medical AI systems. * Developing domain-specific benchmarks for evaluating LLMs in healthcare. * Developing applications for LLMs in clinical decision support, medical transcription and communication between practitioners and patients. Keynote speaker : Natalia Grabar, Université de Lille We welcome articles that are: * new contributions, * state-of-the-art articles, * work in progress, * short/translated version of a paper accepted at a major conference. Important Dates : * Submission Due: 30 April 2025 * Author Notification: 15 May 2025 * Camera ready: 21 May 2025 * Workshop: 30 June 2025 Submissions are accepted both in English or French. Contact : Workshop Organizers ( [ mailto:mlpllm2025@gmail.com | mlpllm2025(a)gmail.com) ] Ioana Buhnila ( [ mailto:ioana.buhnila@univ-lorraine.fr | ioana.buhnila(a)univ-lorraine.fr ] ) Aman Sinha ( [ mailto:aman.sinha@univ-lorraine.fr | aman.sinha(a)univ-lorraine.fr ] ) --------------------------------------------------------- **** V ersion anglaise ci-dessus **** * L'atelier Traitement du langage médical à l'époque des LLMs (MLP-LLM 2025) * Coloc avec CORIA-TALN 2025 -- 30 juin 2025, Marseille * Appel à communications * [ https://atilf-umr7118.github.io/MLPLLM2025/ | https://atilf-umr7118.github.io/MLPLLM2025/ ] L’avènement des grands modèles de langue (LLMs) a révolutionné le traitement automatique des langues dans divers domaines, y compris la santé. Cependant, la complexité du langage médical - marquée par des terminologies spécialisées, l’utilisation des abréviations et des ontologies médicales de type CIM, UMLS or SNOMED, des dépendances contextuelles implicites (dans un contexte donné, le contenu médical peut changer en fonction de la temporalité, l’événement ou le degré de certitude) - pose des défis et des opportunités uniques. Le TAL médical peut aider les praticiens hospitaliers dans le diagnostic et le traitement des patients. De plus, le domaine de la santé comprend non seulement l’aspect humain représenté par la relation praticien-patient, mais également le contact avec le monde biologique (animaux, plantes, virus, microbes). Cet atelier, MLP-LLM, vise à rassembler des chercheurs en TAL, bioinformatique, médecine et linguistique afin d’explorer les avancées, les limites et les considérations éthiques de l’utilisation des LLMs dans des contextes médicaux. Les sujets d’intérêt incluent, mais ne sont pas limités à: * Affiner et adapter les LLMs pour les applications médicales et pour différentes langues. * Proposer des méthodes d’évaluation adaptées au domaine médical. * Traiter les biais dans la compréhension du langage médical et les hallucinations des LLMs. * Garantir la transparence, l’interprétabilité, le niveau de certitude et la responsabilité dans les systèmes d’IA médicale. * Développer des benchmarks spécifiques au domaine pour évaluer les LLMs dans le domaine de la santé. * Développer des applications des LLMs dans l’aide à la décision clinique, la transcription médicale et la communication entre les praticiens et les patients. Keynote speaker : Natalia Grabar, Université de Lille Les types d'article acceptés sont: * contribution nouvelle, * état de l'art, * travaux en cours, * version courte/traduite d'un article accepté dans une grande conférence.

1st CFP – Pedagogical Ability Assessment of AI-powered Tutors @ BEA 2025
by Ekaterina Kochmar 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Conversational agents offer promising opportunities for education as they can fulfill various roles (e.g., intelligent tutors and service-oriented assistants) and pursue different objectives (e.g., improving student skills and increasing instructional efficiency), among which serving as an AI tutor is one of the most prevalent tasks. Recent advances in the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) provide our field with promising ways of building AI-based conversational tutors, which can generate human-sounding dialogues on the fly. The key question posed in previous research, however, remains: *How can we test whether state-of-the-art generative models are good AI teachers, capable of replying to a student in an educational dialogue?* In this shared task, we will focus on educational dialogues between a student and a tutor in the mathematical domain grounded in student mistakes or confusion, where the AI tutor aims to remediate such mistakes or confusions, with the goal of evaluating the quality of tutor responses along the key dimensions of tutor’s ability to (1) identify student’s mistake, (2) point to its location, (3) provide the student with relevant pedagogical guidance, that is also (4) actionable. Dialogues used in this shared task include the dialogue contexts from MathDial (Macina et al., 2023) and Bridge (Wang et al., 2024) datasets, including the last utterance from the student containing a mistake, and a set of responses to the last student’s utterance from a range of LLM-based tutors and, where available, human tutors, aimed at mistake remediation and annotated for their quality. **Tracks** This shared task will include five tracks. Participating teams are welcome to take part in any number of tracks. - Track 1 - Mistake Identification: Participants are invited to develop systems to detect whether tutors' responses recognize mistakes in students' solutions. - Track 2 - Mistake Location: Participants are invited to develop systems to assess whether tutors' responses accurately point to genuine mistakes and their locations in the students' responses. - Track 3 - Pedagogical Guidance: Participants are invited to develop systems to evaluate whether tutors' responses offer correct and relevant guidance, such as an explanation, elaboration, hint, examples, and so on. - Track 4 - Actionability: Participants are invited to develop systems to assess whether tutors' feedback is actionable, i.e., it makes it clear what the student should do next. - Track 5 - Guess the tutor identity: Participants are invited to develop systems to identify which tutors the anonymized responses in the test set originated from. **Participant registration** All participants should register using the following link: https://forms.gle/fKJcdvL2kCrPcu8X6 **Important dates** All deadlines are 11:59pm UTC-12 (anywhere on Earth). - March 12, 2025: Development data release - April 9, 2025: Test data release - April 23, 2025: System submissions from teams due - April 30, 2025: Evaluation of the results by the organizers - May 21, 2025: System papers due - May 28, 2025: Paper reviews returned - June 9, 2025: Final camera-ready submissions - July 31 and August 1, 2025: BEA 2025 workshop at ACL **Shared task website**: https://sig-edu.org/sharedtask/2025 **Organizers** - Ekaterina Kochmar (MBZUAI) - Kaushal Kumar Maurya (MBZUAI) - Kseniia Petukhova (MBZUAI) - KV Aditya Srivatsa (MBZUAI) - Justin Vasselli (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) - Anaïs Tack (KU Leuven) **Contact**: bea.sharedtask.2025(a)gmail.com
