Third call for participation - MentalRiskES@IberLEF2024: Early detection of mental
by María Dolores Molina González 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

*Test* *set* *released**!* Please, consider participating and/or forwarding to colleagues and groups. ****We apologize for multiple postings of this e-mail**** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MentalRiskES at IberLEF 2024: Call for Participation Website: https://sites.google.com/view/mentalriskes2024 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MentalRiskEs describes the second edition of a novel task on early risk identification of mental disorders in Spanish comments from social media sources. The first edition took place last year in the IberLEF evaluation forum as part of the SEPLN 2023. The task was resolved as an online problem, that is, the participants had to detect a potential risk as early as possible in a continuous stream of data. Therefore, the performance not only depended on the accuracy of the systems but also on how fast the problem was detected. These dynamics are reflected in the design of the tasks and the metrics used to evaluate participants. For this second edition, we propose three novel tasks, the first subtask is about the detection of the disorder, the second subtask consists of detecting the context that may be associated with the disorder, and the third subtask is about suicidal ideation detection. We would like to invite you to participate in the following tasks: 1. Disorders detection (multi-class classification) 2. Disorder contextualization (fine-grained classification) 3. Suicidal ideation detection (binary classification) Find out more at https://sites.google.com/view/mentalriskes2024. MentalRiskES 2024 is part of the IberLEF Workshop and will be held in conjunction with the SEPLN 2024 conference in Valladolid (Spain). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 16th Registration open Feb 21st Release of trial corpora (trial server available) Mar 20th Release of training corpora Mar 29th Registration closed *Apr 8th Release of test corpora and start of the evaluation campaign (test server available and trial submissions closed)* Apr 12th End of evaluation campaign (deadline for submission of runs) Apr 17th End of evaluation campaign (deadline for submission of runs) Apr 18th Publication of official results and release of test gold labels Apr 22th Publication of official results and release of test gold labels May 10th Deadline for paper submission May 31st Acceptance notification Jun 17th Camera-ready submission deadline July 11th Final camera-ready submission deadline (to IberLEF organisers) Please reach out to the organizers at MentalRiskEs@IberLEF2024.

Constructing cross-language word frequency lists containing phonemic transcription
by Luca Onnis 06 Apr '24

06 Apr '24

I plan to construct a comprehensive word frequency list in many languages, with a column for each word containing the orthographic word, another column with the phonemic transcription of the word in IPA, a third column with the word frequency, and a fourth column with the language. The words do not have to be translation equivalents, but could be the top N thousand words for a given language. The purpose is to then carry out cross-linguistic analyses of distributional properties of phonemes and phonotactic sequences. Another use could be to train grapheme-to-phoneme models for missing words in the list for each language. Ideally, the final resource would be free to use for research purposes. Technically, the word list is easy to compile, but one has to rely on limited open-source data. While frequency info can be easily obtained for many languages from open sources, phonemic transcriptions are typically available in proprietary dictionaries. Wiktionary is a good starting point, but its coverage might be limited for some languages, and thus it can provide valuable data for a handful of commonly spoken languages. I would like to obtain a wider and more representative sample of world languages. I am thus inviting anyone with tips/or resources available to contribute to this compiling effort. Contributors would receive the due acknowledgments, and could specify under which conditions they want their data to be used. You can reply here or write to lucao(a)uio.no .
