Final Call for Participation - CoLI-Dravidian@FIRE 2024: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages
by Sabur B 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

****We apologize for multiple postings of this e-mail**** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION FIRE 2024 Task - CoLI-Dravidian: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages Held as a shared task in the 16th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2024 <http://fire.irsi.org.in/fire/2024/home>) December 12-15, 2024. DAIICT, Gandhinagar, India Website: https://sites.google.com/view/coli-dravidian-2024/datasets?authuser=0 Codalab link: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/19357 Dear All, We are inviting researchers and students to participate in the shared task CoLI-Dravidian: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages, which is held as a shared task in the 16th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2024 <http://fire.irsi.org.in/fire/2024/home>). Language Identification (LI) involves detecting the language(s) used in a given text, which is a preliminary step for many applications such as sentiment analysis, machine translation, information retrieval, and natural language understanding. In multilingual India, especially among the youth, social media often features code-mixed text, blending local languages with English at various levels. However, this poses significant challenges for LI, particularly when languages are mixed within a single word. Dravidian languages, extensively spoken in southern India, are under-resourced despite their rich morphological structure. These languages face technological challenges, especially in script representation on digital platforms, leading users to prefer Roman or hybrid scripts for communication. This prevalent code-mixing offers vast linguistic data for research yet remains understudied. To address word-level LI challenges in code-mixed Dravidian languages, we are conducting a shared task by providing code-mixed datasets for four languages - Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Tulu, to encourage the development of advanced LI models. There will be a real-time leaderboard, and the participants will be allowed to make a maximum of 10 submissions in the training phase and 5 submissions in the testing phase through CodaLab. Each team will have to select the best submission for ranking. To download the data and participate, go to: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/19357.

by Andrea Passarella 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier Online Social Networks and Media Journal (OSNEM) Special issue on AI in Online Social Networks: opportunities and challenges ****** EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE ******** Submission Deadline: Continuous submissions September 30st, 2024 ******************************************** https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/online-social-networks-and-media ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Online Social Networks and Media are a fundamental component of everyday life and the use of AI technologies in OSNEM can further boost their role. The use of AI in online social networks offers great opportunities and, at the same time, raises several challenges. AI's ability to analyze vast amounts of data in real-time allows social media platforms to offer highly personalized experiences to users. The use of AI may raise concerns about ethical issues such as privacy, algorithmic bias, misinformation, etc., but AI can also be used for content moderation on social media to detect and remove harmful or inappropriate content, identifying and mitigating the spread of fake news. etc. The use of AI on OSNEM can promote the democratic processes by facilitating the dissemination of information and encourage political engagement. On the other hand, AI algorithms can create echo chambers, influence voting behavior and generate significant risks for democracy. AI-driven security measures can help to protect OSNEM users from fraud and privacy breaches but, malicious actors can also use AI to support their attacks. The exponential diffusion of generative AI adds novel dimensions to this landscape, on the one hand supporting novel forms of interactions spanning into the Metaverse, but on the other hand exposing vulnerable users to dramatic threats. The aim of this special issue is to push the state of the art in using AI in OSNEM, by presenting quantitative contributions that investigate the opportunities and challenges of using AI in Online Social Networks. Within this framework, topics include, but are not limited to: - Using AI in OSNEM for personalization, efficiency, and recommendations; - AI-based studies for analysis and modelling of information and opinion dynamics in OSNEM; - AI-based predictions based on OSNEM data analysis; - AI impact on OSNEM security, trustworthiness and privacy; - Generative AI in OSNEM; - AI and social networking in the Metaverse; - AI methodologies for large-scale OSNEM data collection and analysis - AI methods to safeguard OSNEM users (e.g., bot detection, toxic content identification, content moderation, echo chamber avoidance) - Case studies of AI application in OSNEM Online Social Networks and Media is a multidisciplinary journal for the wide community of computer and network scientists working on developing OSNEM platforms and services and using OSNEM as a big data source to mine, learn and model the (online) human behaviour. Manuscripts only based on questionnaires, even focused on the reported use of social media, are outside the scope of the journal. On the other hand, the journal welcomes papers which present analyses based on big data mined from social networks/media. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: continuous submission until September 30th, 2024 (*) First notification: two months after the submission Expected publication: papers are published a few weeks after acceptance. Guest Editors Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If prior work was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should include a substantial extension of at least 35% novel contributions. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at https://www2.cloud.editorialmanager.com/osnem/default2.aspx. Please select ''VSI:AI&OSNEM'' when you reach the ''Article Type'' step in the submission process. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified, for consideration by the special issue, the authors should indicate in the cover letter that the manuscript has been submitted for the special issue on “AI&OSNEM”. (*) Manuscripts can be submitted continuously until the deadline. Once a paper is submitted, the review process will start immediately.
