22 Apr '25

Call for Interest: DISRPT 2025 - Shared Task on Discourse Relation Parsing and Treebanking Call for expression of interest: DISRPT 2025 - Shared Task on Discourse Relation Parsing and Treebanking In conjunction with CODI-CRAC & EMNLP 2025 - Suzhou, China, Nov. 5-9. This year, we are organizing the fourth edition of the DISRPT shared task on discourse processing across formalisms, for a variety of languages and genres, with three subtasks: * Task 1: discourse segmentation * Task 2: connective identification * Task 3: relation classification We will provide training, development and test datasets from all available languages in RST / eRST, SDRT, PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies, using a uniform format. Because different corpora, languages, and frameworks use different guidelines, the shared task will promote the design of flexible methods for dealing with various guidelines, and will help to push forward the discussion of converging standards for discourse units. For datasets which have treebanks, we will evaluate segmentation in two different scenarios: with and without gold syntax. An automatically parsed version is provided for all corpora without a gold parse. This year, the shared task will feature: * the inclusion of more frameworks, with datasets from: RST / eRST, SDRT, PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies * the inclusion of new corpora and new languages, some of them kept a surprise! * a unified set of labels for the discourse relations, to make easier the evaluation across datasets * a new constraint: only one multilingual model should be submitted per task, and it should be small! This will make our replication work easier, but more importantly, it will simplify using such a model and test the robustness of your solution! At this time we are calling for expressions of interest to participate. Registered participants will be added to our mailing list and receive updates as soon as data is made available. Please join us on: disrpt2025_participants(a)googlegroups.com **Important dates:** * May 15 2025 – sample data release * June 16 2025 – training data release * July 14 2025 – test data release * August 1 2025 – system + paper submissions due * September 12 2025 – notification of acceptance * September 19 2025 – camera ready papers * November 8-9 2025 – CODI at EMNLP **Information:** Contact the organizers:disrpt_chairs@googlegroups.com Official website: https://sites.google.com/view/disrpt2025/ Google group for participants, please join us on: disrpt2025_participants(a)googlegroups.com **Organization:** Peter Bourgonje (Universität Potsdam, Germany) Chloé Braud (CNRS - IRIT, University of Toulouse, France) Chuyuan Li (University of British Columbia, Canada) Janet Yang Liu (LMU Munich, Germany) Philippe Muller (CNRS - University of Toulouse, France) Amir Zeldes (Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA)

3rd CfP for IBERLEF-PRESTA
by Eugenio Martínez Camara 21 Apr '25

21 Apr '25

THIRD CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - IberLEF 2025 - PRESTA: Questions and Answers about Tables in Spanish *Web*: https://www.codabench.org/competitions/5538/ We are pleased to announce the first IberLEF task on Question Answering on Tabular Data: PRESTA. The PRESTA shared-task consists of Question Answering over Tabular Data making use of the DataBenchSPA benchmark. DataBenchSPA is a benchmark composed of real-world table datasets from different domains and with large size of rows and columns, as well as a wide variety of data types that allow to assess distinct sort of questions related to each data type. We propose a task to encourage participants to develop a system that answers the questions of the kind present in DataBenchSPA over day-to-day datasets, where the answer is either a number, a categorical value, a boolean value or lists of several types. DataBenchSPA can be used as a training and validation set, while we will release another test set explicitly compiled for the task competition. The system developed by the participants will be provided by a series of (dataset, question) pairs and will need to provide an answer which would then be compared with a gold standard. The answer might be achieved through a variety of methods. In our paper [1] we illustrate two different approaches: In-Context Learning and Code Generation. You may use any of these or come up with your own approach. There will be two subtasks: Subtask I : DataBenchSPA QA Participants will be provided with a dataset (of any size) and a question over it. The question should be answered using the data from the dataset only. Subtask II: DataBenchSPA Lite QA The task is essentially the same as the previous subtask, but involves using the sampled version of each dataset with a maximum of 20 rows per dataset. The question should be answered using the data from the sampled dataset only. For the test set, we will similarly provide a reduced version of each dataset for this subtask. This task is especially relevant when testing for models with a smaller window size. Important Dates Release of training data: 18 March 2025 Release of test data - competition starts: 30 April 2025 Submission of the results - competition ends: 12 May 2025 Submission of the description paper: 30 May 2025 Task Organizers Jorge Osés Grijalba - Graphext L.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!! The Machine Translation <https://mt.fbk.eu/> (MT) group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler <https://www.fbk.eu/en/> (Trento, Italy) in conjunction with the ICT International Doctorate School of the University of Trento <https://iecs.unitn.it/> is pleased to announce the availability of the following fully-funded PhD position: TITLE: Automatic translation with large multimodal models DESCRIPTION: The rise of large, multimodal foundation models has driven remarkable progress in natural language processing. In text and speech translation, their growing adoption comes with quality improvements while also opening critical research directions for successful deployment and widespread access. Among the current hot research topics, three are particularly relevant to this PhD position: resource efficiency, model alignment, and model accessibility. (i) Resource efficiency aims to reduce computational demands through model compression techniques that shrink large general-purpose models, optimizing them for specific hardware (e.g., mobile devices), translation tasks, domains, or language settings. (ii) Model alignment ensures outputs are trustworthy, fair, and human-centered by integrating cultural, sociodemographic, and human factors into model design and evaluation. This includes bias-aware solutions that promote diversity and inclusivity, as well as improved evaluation methods that better capture real-world user needs. (iii) Model accessibility enhances inclusivity for individuals with visual, hearing, or cognitive impairments by integrating multimodal solutions such as sign language, speech-to-text simplification, and description-augmented subtitling, expanding the capabilities of large models. This PhD position is open to candidates with a strong interest in advancing the state of the art in any of these areas. CONTACTS: negri(a)fbk.eu, bentivo(a)fbk.eu COMPLETE DETAILS AVAILABLE AT: https://iecs.unitn.it/education/admission/call-for-application IMPORTANT DATES: The deadline for application is May 12th, 2025, hrs. 04:00 PM (CEST) Prospective candidates are strongly invited to contact us in advance for preliminary interviews.

Final call for papers and extended deadline: 23rd International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2025)
by Zinsmeister, Heike 19 Apr '25

19 Apr '25

The 23rd International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2025) will bring together developers and users of linguistically annotated natural language corpora. The workshop is part of SyntaxFest 2025 and will be hosted by University of Ljubljana in Slovenia on August 26-29, 2025. Link to TLT 2025: https://www.korpuslab.uni-hamburg.de/en/tlt2025.html Link to SyntaxFest 2025: https://syntaxfest.github.io/ ----------------------------- INVITED TALK ----------------------------- Amir Zeldes (Georgetown University) ----------------------------- SUBMISSION INFORMATION ----------------------------- TLT addresses all aspects of treebank design, development, and use. As ‘treebanks’ we consider any pairing of natural language data (spoken, signed, or written) with annotations of linguistic structure at various levels of analysis, including, e.g., morpho-phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. Annotations can take any form (including trees or general graphs), but they should be encoded in a way that enables computational processing. Reflections on the design of linguistic annotations, methodology studies, resource announcements or updates, annotation or conversion tool development, or reports on treebank usage including probing the leakage of treebanks into large language models are but some examples of the types of papers we anticipate for TLT. SyntaxFest joint submission link: https://openreview.net/group?id=SyntaxFest/2025 ----------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- * April 22, 2025: Extended paper submission deadline * June 2, 2025: Notification of acceptance * June 16, 2025: Camera-ready papers due * August 26-29, 2025: SyntaxFest conference (about two workshop days for TLT; attendants are encouraged but not obliged to participate in the whole SyntaxFest.)
