[CfP] 1st Workshop on Multilingual Data Quality Signals at COLM 2025
by Pedro Ortiz Suarez 10 Jun '25

10 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the first call for papers of the *1st Workshop on Multilingual Data Quality Signals at COLM 2025* Important information: 🗓️ CfP Deadline: June 23, Workshop: October 10 📍 Montréal, Canada 🌐 https://wmdqs.org Scope Recent research has shown that large language models (LLMs) not only need large quantities of data, but also need data of sufficient quality. Ensuring data quality is even more important in a multilingual setting, where the amount of acceptable training data in many languages is limited. Indeed, for many languages even the fundamental step of language identification remains a challenge, leading to unreliable language labels and thus noisy datasets for underserved languages. In response to these challenges, we will be holding the first Workshop on Multilingual Data Quality Signals (WMDQS) in tandem with COLM. We invite the submission of long and short research papers related to data quality in multilingual data. Even though most previous work on data quality has been targeted at LLM development, we believe that research in this area can also benefit other research communities in areas such as web search, web archiving, corpus linguistics, digital humanities, political sciences and beyond. We therefore encourage submissions from a wide range of disciplines. WMDQS will also include a shared task on language identification for web text. We invite participants to submit novel systems which address current problems with language identification for web text. We will provide a training set of annotated documents sourced from Common Crawl to aid development. Topics We welcome submissions of (1) original research papers, (2) review/opinion papers, (3) online systems on the topics listed below, and (4) extended abstracts. We especially welcome work-in-progress projects and all novel ideas covering research in multilinguality, underserved/low-resource languages, under-represented linguistic communities and all types of work covering data quality signals. Suggested areas include: - Data pipelines for data annotation and data filtering - Undesirable content detection in a multilingual setting - Multilingual or language independent content ranking - Human annotation platforms and systems - Multilingual tokenization mechanisms - Small language models and embeddings - Linguistic studies in underserved languages - Corpus creation and curation methods, especially for underserved languages - Machine translation - Digital humanities - Historical and constructed languages Shared task The lack of training data—especially high-quality data—is the root cause of poor language model performance for many languages. One obstacle to improving the quantity and quality of available text data is language identification (LangID or LID). Lang ID remains far from solved for many languages. Several of the commonly used LangID models were introduced in 2017 (e.g. fastText and CLD3). The aim of this shared task is to encourage innovation in open-source language identification and improve accuracy on a broad range of languages. All accepted authors will be invited to contribute a larger paper, which will be submitted to a high-impact NLP venue. Important dates for the Workshop: Workshop paper submission deadline: June 23, 2025 Workshop paper acceptance notification: July 24, 2025 Workshop: October 10, 2025 Important dates for the Shared Task: 1st Deadline to contribute annotations: July 7, 2025 1st Annotations released (train split): July 14, 2025 Abstract Deadline: July 21, 2025 Decision Notification: July 24, 2025 Camera Ready Deadline: September 21, 2025 (All deadlines are 23:59 AoE.)

MSc AI for Translation and Interpreting
by Constantin Orasan 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

New distance-learning route: Applications for MSc AI for Translation and Interpreting Studies now open (academic year 2025-26 entry) The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at the University of Surrey is pleased to announce the launching of AI in Translation and Interpreting Studies MSc. This MSc programme has an in-person route, but most crucially, a new distance-learning route, for both full-time and part-time modes of study. Classes are delivered synchronously (for all routes and modes of study). This unique and innovative course draws on the research and pedagogy CTS is well known for, namely the responsible integration of professional practice with AI tools in multilingual mediation, translation and interpreting technologies, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and automatic translation. As such, the course is ideally suited for students who wish to work at the at the interface of (traditional) Languages degrees, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Machine Translation. This year we encourage applications from students interested in how Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models benefit translators and interpreters. The new configuration offers a balance of hands-on training and critical skills when using language technologies across the academic year. As an MSc student, you will take three compulsory taught modules in semester 1 and select three optional modules in semester 2 (90 credits). You will then complete your degree with a long dissertation (90 credits), allowing you to tackle a project in greater depth. For full programme details, a special fee offer for the online/distance-learning route and the overall structure, please visit AI for Translation and Interpreting Studies MSc masters course | University of Surrey<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/ai-translation-and-interpreting-studi…> Our MSc course comes in the wake of further diversification of our postgraduate programmes. It constitutes a change informed by constant dialogue with our students which resulted in a revamp of our portfolio. See our staff-student partnership project "Translation in the Era of General Artificial Intelligence"<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/news/human-and-machine-harmony-centre-translation-…> This change further aligns with recent developments in translation and translation technology projects which are done with the help of AI or AI-powered tools. If you feel that an MSc is not for you, you can check our other postgraduate courses on topics related to translation and interpreting at: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/centre-translation-studies/study/postgraduate-cour… Watch our video "More than an MA": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oVf3X2LEg --- Prof Constantin Orăsan Professor of Language and Translation Technologies Centre for Translation Studies<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/centre-translation-studies> | School of Literature and Languages<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/school-literature-languages> Personal page: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/people/constantin-orasan Office: 06LC03, Phone: +44 (0) 1483 68 4115 Library and Learning Centre, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH, UK

Call for participation: First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions with Generative Language Models
by Nikhil Krishnaswamy 08 Jun '25

08 Jun '25

Dear Corpora list organizers, Please find below our submission for circulation: ====== The First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions with Generative Language Models (*ORIGen*) will be held in conjunction with the Second Conference on Language Modeling (COLM) at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on October 10, 2025! With the rapid integration of generative AI, exemplified by large language models (LLMs), into personal, educational, business, and even governmental workflows, such systems are increasingly being treated as “collaborators” with humans. In such scenarios, underreliance or avoidance of AI assistance may obviate the potential speed, efficiency, or scalability advantages of a human-LLM team, but simultaneously, there is a risk that subject matter non-experts may overrely on LLMs and trust their outputs uncritically, with consequences ranging from the inconvenient to the catastrophic. Therefore, establishing optimal levels of reliance within an interactive framework is a critical open challenge as language models and related AI technology rapidly advances. * What factors influence overreliance on LLMs? * How can the consequences of overreliance be predicted and guarded against? * What verifiable methods can be used to apportion accountability for the outcomes of human-LLM interactions? * What methods can be used to imbue such interactions with appropriate levels of “friction” to ensure that humans think through the decisions they make with LLMs in the loop? The ORIGen workshop provides a new venue to address these questions and more through a multidisciplinary lens. We seek to bring together broad perspectives from AI, NLP, HCI, cognitive science, psychology, and education to highlight the importance of mediating human-LLM interactions to mitigate overreliance and promote accountability in collaborative human-AI decision-making. Submissions are due June 20, 2025. Please see our call for papers [1] for more!
