LUHME: Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era | Workshop at ECAI 2024
by Rui Sousa Silva 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTINGS *** Call for Papers: Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era (LUHME) The LUHME 2024 workshop Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era is part of the 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, ECAI 2024 (https://www.ecai2024.eu/). Workshop description Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the development of interactional artificial intelligence (AI) systems by democratizing their use. These models have shown remarkable advancements in various applications such as conversational AI and machine translation, marking the undeniable advent of the human-machine era. However, despite their significant achievements, state-of-the-art systems still exhibit shortcomings in language understanding, raising questions about their true comprehension of human languages. The concept of language understanding has always been contentious, as meaning-making depends not only on form and immediate meaning but also on context. Therefore, understanding natural language involves more than just parsing form and meaning; it requires access to grounding for true comprehension. Equipping language models with linguistics-grounded capabilities remains a complex task, given the importance of discourse, pragmatics, and social context in language understanding. Understanding language is a doubly challenging task as it necessitates not only grasping the intrinsic capabilities of LLMs but also examining their impact and requirements in real-world applications. While LLMs have shown effectiveness in various applications, the lack of supporting theories raises concerns about ethical implications, particularly in applications involving human interaction. The “Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era” (LUHME) workshop aims to reignite the debate on the role of understanding in natural language use and its applications. It seeks to explore the necessity of language understanding in computational tasks like machine translation and natural language generation, as well as the contributions of language professionals in enhancing computational language understanding. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Language understanding in LLMs • Language grounding • Psycholinguistic approaches to language understanding • Discourse, pragmatics and language understanding • Evaluation of language understanding • Multi-modality and language understanding • Socio-cultural aspects in understanding language • Effects of language misunderstanding by computational models • Manifestations of language understanding • Distributional semantics and language understanding • Linguistic theory and language understanding by machines • Linguistic, world, and common sense knowledge in language understanding • Machine translation and/or interpreting and language understanding • Human vs. machine language understanding • Role of language professionals in the LLMs era • Understanding language and explainable AI Ethics Statement Research reported at ECAI and the LUHME workshop should avoid harm, be honest and trustworthy, fair and non-discriminatory, and respect privacy and intellectual property. Where relevant, authors can include in the main body of their paper, or on the reference page, a short ethics statement that addresses ethical issues regarding the research being reported and the broader ethical impact of the work. Reviewers will be asked to flag possible violations of relevant ethical principles. Such flagged submissions will be reviewed by a senior member of the programme committee. Authors may be required to revise their paper to include a discussion of possible ethical concerns and their mitigation. Submission Instructions Papers must be written in English, be prepared for double-blind review using the ECAI LaTeX template, and not exceed 7 pages (not including references). The ECAI LaTeX Template can be found at https://ecai2024.eu/download/ecai-template.zip. Papers should be submitted via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=eurai.org/ECAI/2024/Workshop/LUHME Excessive use of typesetting tricks to make things fit is not permitted.

COLING 2025 - 1st Call For Workshop Proposals
by El-Haj, Mo 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

Dear all, This is the first Call for Workshops for the 31st International Conference on Computational Linguistics (https://coling2025.org/), scheduled to take place from 19th to 24th January 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Call for Workshops COLING 2025 The International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING) invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the 31st edition of COLING in 2025 in Abu Dhabi (UAE). We solicit proposals in all areas of computational linguistics, language resources and evaluation, broadly conceived to include related disciplines such as linguistics, language documentation, natural language processing, speech and multimodal processing, computational social science, and the digital humanities. Note: for this edition of COLING, we will not be conducting a joint call for workshops with the ACL conferences (AACL, ACL, EACL, EMNLP, NAACL). This is due to scheduling differences between COLING and the ACL conferences in 2025. COLING is happening much earlier than the *ACL conferences, which makes it impractical to coordinate a joint call. However, we anticipate a return to joint workshop calls in the future. IMPORTANT DATES 31 May 2024: Proposal submission due 30 June 2024: Notification of acceptance 19-20 January 2025: COLING-2025 Workshops 21-24 January 2025: COLING-2025 conference SUBMISSION INFORMATION Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents. Note that submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers shortly after the notification. The proposals should be at most two pages long, with additional two pages permitted for information about organisers and tentative program committee. Hence, the entire proposal should not exceed FOUR pages in length, excluding references. Please note that workshops should either be 100% in-person or 100% virtual; hybrid formats will not be allowed. For in-person workshops, at least one workshop organiser should be physically present to run the workshop at COLING. WORKSHOP TEMPLATE (non-mandatory) https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/coling-2025-workshop-proposal-temp… The two pages for the main proposal must include the following: - A title and a brief description of the workshop topic and content. - A list of invited speakers, if applicable, with an indication of which ones have already agreed and which are tentative, and sources of funding for the speakers, if needed. - An estimate of the number of attendees. - Workshop format: in-person or virtual (hybrid proposals will not be accepted). - A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop, and estimate of the number of participants. Note that any shared task will also need to be reviewed by the workshop committee for ethical concerns. - A description of special requirements and technical needs, where relevant. - If the workshop has been held before, a note specifying where previous iterations of the workshops were held, how many submissions the workshop received, how many papers were accepted (also specify whether they were not regular papers, e.g., shared task system description papers, non-archival papers), and how many attendees the workshop attracted. The two pages for information about organisers and program committee must include the following: - The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organisers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests, areas of expertise, and experience in organising workshops and related events. - A list of Program Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. Organisers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 3 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews. - A very brief advertisement or tagline for the workshop, up to 140 characters, that highlights any key information you wish prospective attendees to know, and which would be suitable to be put onto a web-based survey (see below). The proposals should be submitted no later than May 31, 2024, 11:59 PM Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11, ‘Anywhere on Earth’). Submission is electronic, and the submission URL will be displayed on the COLING 2025 website: https://coling2025.org/. The workshop proposals will be evaluated according to their originality and impact, the expected interest level of participants, as well as the quality of the organising team and Program Committee and their contribution to the diversity of the conference. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We particularly encourage submissions of underrepresented groups in computational linguistics, language resource and evaluation, including researchers from any demographic or geographic minority, with disabilities, or others. In the evaluation of the proposal, we will take these aspects into account to create a varied and balanced set of tutorials. This includes several aspects of diversity, namely (1) how the topic of the tutorial contributes to improved diversity and increased fairness in the field, (2) if the topic is particularly relevant for a specific underrepresented group of potential participants, (3), if the presenters are from an underrepresented group. WORKSHOP ORGANISER RESPONSIBILITIES The organisers of the accepted workshops (at least one) must be present in person in Abu Dhabi for an in-person workshop, and virtually for a virtual workshop. They will be responsible for publicising and conducting the workshop, which includes reviewing submissions, preparing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, coordinating the meeting days, and ensuring that all participants are informed about COLING’s anti-harassment policy. (see https://coling2022.org/policy). It is crucial that organisers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera-ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the unified proceedings and author indexes. Workshop organisers cannot accept submissions for publication that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review, as well as to accept additional non-archival presentations. CONTACT For any questions related to the workshop proposals only, please send your email to coling2025-workshops(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:coling2025-workshops@googlegroups.com>. Please do not email the workshops chairs directly.

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.
