The recently funded ERC Consolidator project “Rise and Demise of Industrial Modernity”<https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101170823> (RiDe) at the University of Tartu (Estonia) is looking to fill 2 fully funded PhD positions and 1 postdoctoral position. The PhD position advertised here is broadly in computational social science, environmental/sustainability transitions studies, and focuses on applying ML and LLMs to large media text corpora. The project is based on the Deep Transitions framework (see here<https://doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2018.03.009>, here<https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eist.2018.07.006> and here<https://www.cambridge.org/engage/coe/article-details/67a9e0a381d2151a02d8a3…>) from the sustainability transitions field. It seeks to develop a new theory about the acceleration, crisis and possible transformation of industrial modernity: a set of ideas, institutions and practices related to the natural environment and technoscience currently blocking the deep sustainability turn. The project is led by Laur Kanger<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=wI2wzeoAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao>, Professor of Sustainability Transitions and co-author of the Deep Transitions framework. Expected PhD studies starting date: 1 September 2025 Duration of employment: 48 months (until 30.08.2029) Working time: 100% (40 hours per week) International application submission deadline: 15 May 2025 For applicants with an MA from an Estonian university: June 15 2025 We are seeking applicants with a Master’s degree or equivalent qualification with a background in one of the following fields: digital humanities, computational social science, data science, sustainability transitions studies, science and technology studies, innovation studies, sociology (e.g. economic, political, environmental, historical), environmental governance, political science, economics (e.g. economics of innovation, ecological economics), political science, history (e.g. economic, environmental, intellectual, science and technology), sustainability science (or a related field). Alternatively, a master’s degree in another field combined with a strong and proven interest in sustainability issues also constitutes a good fit. For more info on the positions, main tasks and requirements, see the links below. Topic: “Ideational continuities and ruptures of industrial modernity in G20 countries” The purpose of the PhD project is to map the long-term evolution of different ideas about environment and technoscience (e.g. belief in societal progress through science and technology, rising environmental awareness) in G20 countries from 1900 to 2025 based on digitized newspaper corpora and using state of the art machine learning methods, including large language models. More info and application details: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/336902 Why study or work in Estonia?

28 Apr '25

-------------------------------------------------------------------- APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLiC-it 2025 - Eleventh Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 24 - 26 September 2025, Cagliari, Italy https://clic2025.unica.it/ Conference Announcement and First Call for Papers Over the years, CLiC-it has evolved into an important forum for the Italian community of researchers in Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). CLiC-it aims to promote and disseminate high-quality, original research covering different aspects of automatic language processing, involving both written and spoken language. Furthermore, it seeks to showcase cutting-edge theoretical findings, experimental methodologies, technologies, and application perspectives. The spirit of the conference is inclusive. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of language phenomena and the need for interdisciplinary expertise, CLiC-it aims to bring together researchers from different fields including Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital Humanities. CLiC-it welcomes contributions focusing on all languages, with a particular emphasis on Italian. CLiC-it 2025 will be held in Cagliari, from the 24th to the 26th of September. CLiC-it is organised by the Italian Association of Computational Linguistics (AILC -- http://www.ai-lc.it/). Conference topics ----------------------------- CLiC-it 2025 aims to have a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to (in alphabetical order): - Computational Historical Linguistics - Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics - Dialogue and Interactive Systems - Discourse and Pragmatics - Ethics and NLP - Generation - Handwritten Text Recognition - Information Extraction - Information Retrieval and Text Mining - Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP - Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond - Large Language Models - Linguistic Diversity - Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling, and Psycholinguistics - Machine Learning for NLP - Machine Translation - Multilingualism and Cross-Lingual NLP - NLP Applications - NLP for the Humanities - Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation - Pragmatics and Creativity - Question Answering - Resources and Evaluation - Semantics: Lexical, Sentence-level Semantics, Textual Inference, and Other Areas - Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining - Speech and Multimodality - Summarization - Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing Research Communications ---------------------------------- CLiC-it 2025 adopts a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers accepted in 2024 and 2025 by major publication venues, namely the major international CL conferences (workshops excluded) or international journals. These contributions can be submitted to CLiC-it 2025 as short research communications. Research communications will not be published in the conference proceedings, they serve primarily to promote the dissemination of high-quality research within the Italian CL community. Submitted research communications must be in the scope of the CLiC-it 2025 conference. The authors of papers that meet the above criteria are invited to submit a written (maximum) one-page abstract of the original paper, including the paper’s title and authors as well as a pointer to the original conference or journal where the paper was published. If needed, research communications will undergo a selection process overseen by the conference chairs. Since these papers have already been reviewed, the selection criteria will primarily consider their original publication venue. Priority will be granted to papers that align most closely with the conference program, ensuring a balanced representation across various conference topics. The research communication papers will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster according to the number of submissions received. Paper Submission ----------------------- Submitted papers must describe substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. CLiC-it 2025 allows for a multiple-submission policy. In case of acceptance of the paper in other venues, the authors must communicate this information to the CLiC-it 2025 Chairs as soon as possible. Papers may consist of at least six (6) and no more than eight (8) pages of content, and up to three (3) pages of references. Supplementary material is also allowed, but it should not exceed one (1) page in length. Authors are reminded that all relevant content should be included in the main text of the paper. Upon acceptance, final versions of papers will be given one additional page of content, so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. Papers will be evaluated according to the following criteria: - soundness of approach - relevance to computational linguistics - novelty and clarity of relation with related work - quality of presentation - quality of evaluation (if applicable) - verifiability and ability to replicate (if applicable) Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract in English. Accepted papers will be published online and will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster. Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author information from manuscripts. The required template for CLiC-it submissions must be compatible with CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/). You can download the conference-adapted version at the following links: LaTeX template https://clic2025.unica.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CLiC-it-2025-template.… Word template https://clic2025.unica.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CLiC_it_2025_template.… Should you encounter any issues with the compilation (as the CEUR template has historically presented some challenges and is not modifiable without risking exclusion from the proceedings), we provide a read-only Overleaf template: https://www.overleaf.com/read/hzyckyjzwhwb#06b27c This template can be accessed and cloned to help resolve any technical difficulties.

*apologies for cross-postings* === Workshop SIR === Atelier sur les Avancées en AMR et en Analyse Sémantiques SIR@IXCS2025 - Düsseldorf - September 24 2025 ================================= https://team.inria.fr/semagramme/first-workshop-on-semantics-for-interdisci… https://openreview.net/group?id=inria.fr/INRIA/S%C3%A9magramme/2025/SIR01 ================================= In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has increasingly intersected with the humanities and social sciences, offering new methodologies for analyzing textual data, interpreting meaning, and modelling (IF WE WANT BRITISH SPELLING, WE MIGHT NOT?) language-based phenomena. The potential for multi-disciplinary research using NLP methods is particularly great in computational semantics (CS, as its ability to process and represent meaning opens up innovative pathways for researchers in history, philosophy, literary studies, political science, etc. This workshop aims to explore how semantic models and tools can be leveraged to tackle traditional and emerging questions in the Humanities in a broader sense (Social Sciences, Law, Economics, Management, Literature, Languages, Art, …). A major theme of SIR is the role of semantics in NLP applied to the humanities (both statistical and symbolic approaches). === Topics to Explore === • CS and the humanities: issues, tools and applications. • Quantitative and qualitative approaches as a breakthrough in the Humanities • NLP transforming humanities issues • Contributions and limitations for understanding meaning • Links between formal semantics and neural models • Ambiguity, polyphony and interpretation in theHumanities • Ethics and bias in semantic modeling • Interdisciplinary dialogue between AI, NLP and Humanities === Dates === • Deadline : July 14th (anywhere on earth) • Notification : August 25th (anywhere on earth) • Camera Ready : September 10th (anywhere on earth) • Workshop : September 24th (anywhere on earth) === Submission Information === Papers should describe original research and must not exceed 4 pages (with an extra page in the camera ready version for accepted papers). Papers should be submitted no later than 14 July 2025 (anywhere on earth). Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in the ACL Anthology. For inclusion in the proceedings, at least one author must register to the conference and present the paper in person. Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. === Submission === https://openreview.net/group?id=inria.fr/INRIA/S%C3%A9magramme/2025/SIR01 === Style Files === The workshop follow the IWCS 2025 template see the workshop web page. === Organizers === Maxime Amblard, Université de Lorraine Ellen Breitholtz, Gothenburg University === Contact === maxime.amblard(a)univ-lorraine.fr and ellen.breitholtz(a)ling.gu.se
