Second CfP: The EPIA Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2024)
by Pablo Gamallo 18 Apr '24

18 Apr '24

The EPIA Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2024) Important date: Paper submission deadline: April 30, 2024 The EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a well-established European conference in the field of AI. The 23st edition, EPIA 2024, will take place in Viana do Castelo from 3th to 6th of September, 2024. As in previous editions, this international conference is hosted with the patronage of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). The Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2024) of EPIA is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e. Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR), and related areas. The most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through textual documents. Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual information is openly published every day, on many different topics and written in natural language, thus offering new insights and many opportunities for innovative applications of Human Language Technologies. Following advances in general AI sub-fields such as NLP, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even more valuable as tool for bridging the gap between language theories and effective use of natural language contents, for harnessing the power of semi-structured and unstructured data, and to enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous environments. Both hidden and new knowledge can be discovered by using NLP and Text Mining methods, at multiple levels and in multiple dimensions, and often with high commercial value. Topics of Interest Natural Language Processing: Language and Cognitive Modeling Tagging, Chunking and Parsing Morphology and Word Segmentation Natural Language Generation Discourse and Pragmatics Sentence-level Semantics and Text Inference Language Resources: Acquisition and Usage. Lexical Knowledge Acquisition Entailment and Paraphrases Entity Recognition and Word Sense Disambiguation Natural Language Understanding Language Modeling Mathematical Properties of Language NLP for Low-Resource Languages Text Mining and Applications: Text Clustering, Classification and Summarization Sentiment Analysis and Argument Mining Computational Social Science Multi-Word Units Machine Learning for NLP and Text Mining Spatio-Temporal and Big Text Mining Cross-Lingual Approaches Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining Information Retrieval and Information Extraction Question-Answering and Dialogue Systems Text-Based Prediction and Forecasting Web Content Annotation Health/Biomedical/Legal and other Text Mining Applications The Track Organizing Committee: Joaquim Silva Pablo Gamallo Irene Rodrigues Paulo Quaresma Alípio Jorge Joaquim Ferreira da Silva Departamento de Informática, Nova School of Science and Technology, Quinta da Torre, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal.

Edge Hill Corpus Research Group – Meeting #12
by Costas Gabrielatos 17 Apr '24

17 Apr '24

The next meeting of the Edge Hill Corpus Research Group will take place online (via MS Teams) on Thursday 25 April 2024, 2:00-3:30 pm (UK time). Attendance is free. You can register here: https://store.edgehill.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/conferences/events/edge… Topics: Corpus Methodology, Large Language Models Speakers: Sylvia Jaworska<https://www.reading.ac.uk/elal/staff/dr-sylvia-jaworska> (University of Reading, UK) & Mathew Gillings<https://www.wu.ac.at/ebc/about-us/team/mathew-gillings/> (Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria) Title: How humans vs. machines identify discourse topics: an exploratory triangulation Abstract Identifying discourses and discursive topics in a set of texts has not only been of interest to linguists, but to researchers working across social sciences. Traditionally, these analyses have been conducted based on small-scale interpretive analyses of discourse which involve some form of close reading. Naturally, however, that close reading is only possible when the dataset is small, and it leaves the analyst open to accusations of bias and/or cherry-picking. Designed to avoid these issues, other methods have emerged which involve larger datasets and have some form of quantitative component. Within linguistics, this has typically been through the use of corpus-assisted methods, whilst outside of linguistics, topic modelling is one of the most widely-used approaches. Increasingly, researchers are also exploring the utility of LLMs (such as ChatGPT) to assist analyses and identification of topics. This talk reports on a study assessing the effect that analytical method has on the interpretation of texts, specifically in relation to the identification of the main topics. Using a corpus of corporate sustainability reports, totalling 98,277 words, we asked 6 different researchers, along with ChatGPT, to interrogate the corpus and decide on its main ‘topics’ via four different methods. Each method gradually increases in the amount of context available. • Method A: ChatGPT is used to categorise the topic model output and assign topic labels; • Method B: Two researchers were asked to view a topic model output and assign topic labels based purely on eyeballing the co-occurring words; • Method C: Two researchers were asked to assign topic labels based on a concordance analysis of 100 randomised lines of each co-occurring word; • Method D: Two researchers were asked to reverse-engineer a topic model output by creating topic labels based on a close reading. The talk explores how the identified topics differed both between researchers in the same condition, and between researchers in different conditions shedding light on some of the mechanisms underlying topic identification by machines vs humans or machines assisted by humans. We conclude with a series of tentative observations regarding the benefits and limitations of each method along with suggestions for researchers in selecting an analytical approach for discourse topic identification. While this study is exploratory and limited in scope, it opens up a way for further methodological and larger scale triangulations of corpus-based analyses with other computational methods including AI.

[apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] Dear colleagues and friends, *We are pleased to release the 2nd Call for Participation - LLMs4OL Challenge collocated with The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2024)* *Overview:* LLMs4OL stands for "Large Language Models for Ontology Learning." The LLMs4OL paradigm was first introduced in our research paper ( https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-47240-4_22) published in the ISWC 2023 main conference proceedings. In this context, we aimed to test the readiness of LLMs to address the Ontology Learning (OL) task w.r.t. three main subtasks: 1) Term Typing, 2) Type Taxonomy Discovery, and 3) Non-Taxonomic Relation Extraction. Therein our evaluations included ontolgies from various knowledge domains, i.e. lexicosemantics (WordNet), geography (GeoNames), biomedicine (NCI, MEDICIN, SNOMEDCT), and web content types (schema.org). With the ISWC-LLMs4OL 2024 challenge, we aim to catalyze community-wide engagement in validating and expanding the use of LLMs in OL by releasing our evaluation datasets publicly in the community. This initiative is poised to advance our comprehension of LLMs’ roles within the Semantic Web, encouraging innovation and collaboration in developing scalable and accurate OL methods. More info on the task website: https://sites.google.com/view/llms4ol/ The LLMs4OL Challenge will be divided into two evaluation phases: - Evaluation Phase 1: Few-shot Testing; - Evaluation Phase 2: Zero-shot Testing *Dates* Training datasets available: March 30, 2024 Test data available (Task A): May 27, 2024 Evaluation ends (Task A): June 4, 2024 Test data available (Tasks B & C): June 5, 2024 Evaluation ends (Tasks B & C): June 18, 2024 Participant papers due: June 28, 2024 Notification to authors: July 19, 2024 Camera ready due: July 30, 2024 ISWC 2024, Baltimore, Maryland, USA: 11-15 November 2024 *Task Organizers* Hamed Babaei Giglou (TIB Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology - Germany) Jennifer D’Souza (TIB Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology - Germany) Sören Auer (TIB Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology - Germany) We look forward to having you on board! *Contact:* llms4ol.challenge [at] gmail.com
