L'UCLouvain recherche
un chercheur ou une chercheuse pour un doctorat en traitement automatique du langage
- bourse de doctorat à temps plein (100%) pour une durée de deux ans, renouvelable une fois sous conditions
- pour le Centre de traitement automatique du langage (Cental), de l'Institut langage et communication (ILC) à l’UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve)
- entrée en fonction: 1er septembre 2025 (négociable)
Cette proposition de bourse de doctorat s’articule sur les travaux récents réalisés par le Centre de traitement automatique du langage (CENTAL) sur des données de productions écrites d’apprenants du français langue étrangère. Reposant sur une collaboration féconde avec FEI (France Éducation International), ces recherches ont déjà abouti dans une solution de correction automatisée des épreuves écrites du TCF, FIDELIA (https://www.france-education-international.fr/actualites/lettre-fei/2024-06…).
Dans ce projet, nous visons à dépasser la simple caractérisation de la compétence écrite des apprenants de FLE, en détectant automatiquement les erreurs qu’ils commettent afin de les corriger (= normalisation). Ce projet vise à combler l’absence de travaux en matière de normalisation et de correction neuronale des erreurs d’apprenants en français et s’inscrit dans la logique du centre K de l’UCLouvain (CLARIN). La détection des erreurs d’apprenants et leur normalisation ouvrent de nombreuses perspectives : correction automatisée, génération de feedback, amélioration des recherches sur corpus grâce à la forme normée, etc.
Pour ce faire, ce projet visera trois objectifs principaux :
1.
Constituer un corpus parallèle (version originale et normalisée) pour 6569 textes d’apprenants rédigés dans le cadre d’un examen officiel de français, le TCF. Ce corpus, rassemblé en collaboration avec France Éducation Internationale, constitue une ressource unique pour le français (Wilkens et al., 2022). Il s’agira de le normaliser manuellement (i.e. identifier et corriger les erreurs), mais aussi de les classer selon une typologie inspirée de Granger (2003).
2.
Profiter des dernières avancées en matière d’apprentissage profond pour exploiter ce corpus annoté et concevoir un système automatisé capable de (1) normaliser les productions d’apprenants en français et (2) de les catégoriser en fonction de notre typologie. Nous comparerons cette solution aux performances des modèles génératifs de type ChatGPT, qui ne nécessitent pas de données d’entraînement (zero-shot learning).
3.
Exploiter les méta-données du corpus (niveau CECR et langue maternelle) pour décrire (1) les types d’erreurs typiques de chaque niveau CECR ; (2) les erreurs typiques de locuteurs ayant une langue maternelle donnée et (3) l’interaction entre ces deux variables, à savoir comment les erreurs se distribuent par niveau en fonction de la langue maternelle.
Au sein de projet, le rôle du doctorant ou de la doctorante engagé consistera à mener l’essentiel de la recherche, à savoir réaliser les trois étapes décrites ci-dessus. Le chercheur ou la chercheuse devra également assurer la diffusion des résultats obtenus via des publications scientifiques et rédiger une thèse de doctorat. Il ou elle sera amené à collaborer étroitement avec les autres membres de l’équipe en vue d’assurer la bonne réalisation de ces tâches.
Environnement de travail
Le CENTAL est rattaché à l’Institut Langage & Communication (https://uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/ilc), qui fait partie de l’UCLouvain.

LeWiDi: Shared task on Learning With Disagreement - Second call for participation
We'd like to invite researchers in disagreement and variation to participate in the third edition of the LeWidi shared tasks held in conjunction with the NLPerspectives workshop at the EMNLP conference in Suzhou, China.
The LeWiDi series is positioned within the growing body of research that questions the practice of label harmonization and the reliance on a single ground truth in AI and NLP. This year's shared task challenges participants to leverage both instance-level disagreement and annotator-level information in classification. The proposed tasks include ones that address disagreement in both generation and labeling—with a dataset for Natural Language Inference (NLI) and another for paraphrase detection—as well as subjective tasks, including irony and sarcasm detection.
Competition webpage: https://www.codabench.org/competitions/7192/
==== Subtasks and datasets ====
Participants will be able to submit to subtasks exploring different types of disagreement through dedicated datasets:
1. The Conversational Sarcasm corpus (CSC) – a dataset of context+response pairs rated for sarcasm, with ratings from 1 to 6.
2. The MultiPico dataset (MP) – a crowdsourced multilingual irony detection dataset. Annotators were tasked to detect whether a reply was ironic in the context of a brief post-reply exchange on social media. Annotators ids and metadata (gender, age, nationality, etc) are available. Languages include Arabic, German, English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese.
3. The Paraphrase dataset (Par) – a dataset of question pairs for which the annotators had to tell whether the two questions are paraphrases of each other, using values on a Likert scale.
4. TheVariErrNLI dataset (VariErrNLI) – a dataset originally designed for automatic error detection, distinguishing between annotation errors and legitimate human label variations in Natural Language Inference.
Participants will be able to submit to one or multiple datasets.
==== Tasks and Evaluation ====
In this edition, only soft evaluation metrics will be used. We will however experiment with two forms of tasks and evaluation:
* TASK A (SOFT LABEL PREDICTION): Systems will be asked to output a probability distribution of the values. EVALUATION: the distance between this predicted soft label and that resulting from human annotations will be computed.
* TASK B (PERSPECTIVIST PREDICTION): Systems will be asked to predict each annotator's label on items. EVALUATION: a measure of correctness of the predictions
Participants will be able to submit to one or both tasks.
==== Important Dates ====
Training data ready: May 15th 2025
Evaluation Starts: June 15th 2025
Evaluation Ends: July 10th 2025
Paper submission due: August 1st, 2025
Notification to authors: August 25th, 2025
Camera-ready deadline: September 12, 2025
NLPerspectives workshop: November 8, 2025
We are looking forward to your submission!

BriGap-2 is a venue for linguists and NLP scientists to meet: what fruitful
interactions can we have? How do we build upon each other’s work?
* Description *
In recent years, the natural language processing (NLP) community has
shifted its focus towards engineering questions. This state of affairs is
in no small part due to the recent technical advances that have transformed
NLP as a field. In the current large language model (LLM) era, much of what
was deemed near impossible to achieve a few years prior is now taken for
granted and it stands to reason that mapping how far ahead new
computational models have advanced the field has become a central topic for
the NLP community. Hence, the current ongoing discourse in NLP focuses more
on what can be achieved through language rather than studying language for
its own sake. It seems thus that computational and formal linguistics are
now separate domains, and that the former is no longer rooted in the latter.
To what extent are these traditions truly divorced, and what fruitful
bridges can be (re)built? To answer these questions, the second iteration
of the workshop on Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational
Linguistics (BriGap-2) intends to provide a space for formal linguists,
computational linguists, and NLP scientists to exchange their perspectives
on how their different domains of research can build upon one another.
* Workshop topics *
- investigation of the linguistic properties of machine learning models,
- linguistic representations, vector space semantics, and their relations
with theoretical concepts such as compositionality,
- use of information-theoretical and computational methods for linguistic
inquiry,
- formal distributional semantics and neural-symbolic integration for NLP,
- formal grammars, symbolic structures and their applications for
computational linguistics and NLP,
- trends in the history of computational linguistics and NLP,
- …
* Invited speakers *
- Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen
- Kees VAN DEEMTER, Universiteit Utrecht
* Submission details *
The workshop accepts both archival (original and unpublished research) and
non-archival (work-in-progress, dissemination of research published or
accepted elsewhere, etc.) submissions in either short (up to 4 pages) or
long (up to 8 pages) format. Camera-ready versions of papers will be given
one additional page of content so that reviewers’ comments can be taken
into account.
Each submission should mention whether it targets archival or non-archival
status. Archival papers accepted at BriGap-2 will be indexed in the ACL
Anthology.
Please use the ACL style templates available here:
