by Johanna Binnewitt 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Dear corpora-list, We would like to draw your attention to the Thematic Track "AI in Digital Humanities, Computational Social Sciences and Economics Research (AI-HuSo)", which will take place at FedCSIS 2024 in Belgrade from September 8-11, 2024. The event aims to bring together research from various disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and economics, focusing on the use of computational methods, machine learning and AI. Further information on the topics and the deadlines can be found here: https://2024.fedcsis.org/thematic/ai-huso Contact: ai-huso(a)fedcsis.org ======================================================================= AI in Digital Humanities, Computational Social Sciences and Economics Research (AI‑HuSo) ======================================================================= Belgrade, Serbia, 8–11 September, 2024 This thematic track is dedicated to the computational study of Social Sciences, Economics and Humanities, including all subjects like, for example, education, labour market, history, religious studies, theology, cultural heritage, and informative predictions for decision-making and behavioural-science perspectives. While digital methods and AI have been emerging topics in these fields for several decades, this thematic track is not only limited to discoveries in these domains, but also dedicated to the reflections of these methods and results within the field of computer science. Thus, we are in particular interested in interdisciplinary exchange and dissemination with a clear focus on computational and AI methods. Since there is a clear methodological overlap between these three domains and often similar algorithms and AI approaches are considered, we see this thematic track as place for interdisciplinary learning, discussing a joint toolbox as a support for scholars from these field with human and context-aware agents. The aim of this thematic track is thus to bridge the gap between scientific domains, foster interdisciplinary exchange and discuss how research questions from other domains challenge current computer science. In particular, we are interested in communications between researchers from different fields of computer science, social sciences, economics, humanities, and practitioners from different fields. Topics The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - AI and computational approaches for the interdisciplinary work of the social sciences, economics, and humanities: report on theoretical, methodological, experimental, and applied research. - AI and computational approaches for linking data from different digital resources, including online social networks, web and data mining, Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies. - AI and computational methods for text mining and textual analysis, for example texts within social sciences, digital literary studies, computational stylistics and stylometry. - Text encoding, computational linguistics, annotation guidelines, OCR for humanities, economics, and social sciences. - Network analysis, including social and historical network analysis. While we encourage submissions from a broad background, every year we also encourage submissions to two special topics. In 2024 these will be: - Ethical and philosophical considerations of AI in society and research. - Sociological challenges for AI in society, e.g., labour market, education or media. In general, the applications of interest are included in the list below, but are not limited to: - Labour market research and qualification, including behavioral-science perspectives. - Education: Digital methods and systems, e-learning, adult education, etc. - Contributions to the application of technology to culture, history, and societal issues: For example, computational text analysis, analytical and visualization, databases, etc. - In particular, we welcome submissions which focus on a critical reflection of digital methods in the humanities, economics and social sciences within computer science. - Linking of digital resources, a discussion of data sets, their quality and reliability, combining quantitative and qualitative data, anonymization and data protection.

Scholar Inbox - Your Personal Paper Recommender
by a.geiger＠uni-tuebingen.de 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

The body of scientific literature is growing at an ever-increasing rate. Especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the number of publications is growing every month with currently more than 300 new papers every day. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for researchers to keep an overview over the current state-of-the-art. While a number of tools simplify literature retrieval today, none of them is able to deliver accurate personalized recommendations with high recall on a daily basis. This motivated us to develop scholar-inbox.com, a personal paper recommendation system which enables researchers to stay up-to-date with the most relevant progress by delivering personal suggestions directly to your inbox - free of charge. Scholar Inbox learns which papers you like and dislike and recommends papers to you that are similar to papers you like based on neural language processing techniques. Scholar Inbox focuses entirely on the written contents and hence also suggests relevant papers that don't receive social media hype. https://www.scholar-inbox.com/ https://sites.google.com/view/avg-blog/scholar-inbox/ We hope that you will find this tool as useful as we find it ourselves!

First Call for Task Proposals: SemEval-2025
by Semeval Organizers 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

We invite proposals for tasks to be run as part of SemEval-2025 <https://semeval.github.io/SemEval2025/>. SemEval (the International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation) is an ongoing series of evaluations of computational semantics systems, organized under the umbrella of SIGLEX <https://siglex.org/>, the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics. SemEval tasks explore the nature of meaning in natural languages: how to characterize meaning and how to compute it. This is achieved in practical terms, using shared datasets and standardized evaluation metrics to quantify the strengths and weaknesses and possible solutions. SemEval tasks encompass a broad range of semantic topics from the lexical level to the discourse level, including word sense identification, semantic parsing, coreference resolution, and sentiment analysis, among others. For SemEval-2025 <https://semeval.github.io/SemEval2025/cft>, we welcome tasks that can test an automatic system for the semantic analysis of text (e.g., intrinsic semantic evaluation, or an application-oriented evaluation). We especially encourage tasks for languages other than English, cross-lingual tasks, and tasks that develop novel applications of computational semantics. See the websites of previous editions of SemEval to get an idea about the range of tasks explored, e.g. SemEval-2020 <http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2020/> and SemEval-2021-/2023/2024 <https://semeval.github.io/>. We strongly encourage proposals based on pilot studies that have already generated initial data, evaluation measures and baselines. In this way, we can avoid unforeseen challenges down the road which that may delay the task. In case you are not sure whether a task is suitable for SemEval, please feel free to get in touch with the SemEval organizers at semevalorganizers(a)gmail.com to discuss your idea. === Task Selection === Task proposals will be reviewed by experts, and reviews will serve as the basis for acceptance decisions. Everything else being equal, more innovative new tasks will be given preference over task reruns. Task proposals will be evaluated on: - Novelty: Is the task on a compelling new problem that has not been explored much in the community? Is the task a rerun, but covering substantially new ground (new subtasks, new types of data, new languages, etc.)? - Interest: Is the proposed task likely to attract a sufficient number of participants? - Data: Are the plans for collecting data convincing? Will the resulting data be of high quality? Will annotations have meaningfully high inter-annotator agreements? Have all appropriate licenses for use and re-use of the data after the evaluation been secured? Have all international privacy concerns been addressed? Will the data annotation be ready on time? - Evaluation: Is the methodology for evaluation sound? Is the necessary infrastructure available or can it be built in time for the shared task? Will research inspired by this task be able to evaluate in the same manner and on the same data after the initial task? - Impact: What is the expected impact of the data in this task on future research beyond the SemEval Workshop? - Ethical: The data must be compliant with privacy policies. e.g. a) avoid personally identifiable information (PII). Tasks aimed at identifying specific people will not be accepted, b) avoid medical decision making (compliance with HIPAA, do not try to replace medical professionals, especially if it has anything to do with mental health) c) these are representative and not exhaustive === New Tasks vs. Task Reruns === We welcome both new tasks and task reruns. For a new task, the proposal should address whether the task would be able to attract participants. Preference will be given to novel tasks that have not received much attention yet. For reruns of previous shared tasks (whether or not the previous task was part of SemEval), the proposal should address the need for another iteration of the task. Valid reasons include: a new form of evaluation (e.g. a new evaluation metric, a new application-oriented scenario), new genres or domains (e.g. social media, domain-specific corpora), or a significant expansion in scale. We further discourage carrying over a previous task and just adding new subtasks, as this can lead to the accumulation of too many subtasks. Evaluating on a different dataset with the same task formulation, or evaluating on the same dataset with a different evaluation metric, typically should not be considered a separate subtask. === Task Organization === We welcome people who have never organized a SemEval task before, as well as those who have. Apart from providing a dataset, task organizers are expected to: - Verify the data annotations have sufficient inter-annotator agreement - Verify licenses for the data allow its use in the competition and afterwards. In particular, text that is publicly available online is not necessarily in the public domain; unless a license has been provided, the author retains all rights associated with their work, including copying, sharing and publishing. For more information, see: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#what-is-copyright-and-why-does-it-matter - Resolve any potential security, privacy, or ethical concerns about the data - Commit to make the data available after the task - Provide task participants with format checkers and standard scorers. - Provide task participants with baseline systems to use as a starting point (in order to lower the obstacles to participation). A baseline system typically contains code that reads the data, creates a baseline response (e.g. random guessing, majority class prediction), and outputs the evaluation results. Whenever possible, baseline systems should be written in widely used programming languages and/or should be implemented as a component for standard NLP pipelines. - Create a mailing list and website for the task and post all relevant information there. - Create a CodaLab or other similar competition for the task and upload the evaluation script. - Manage submissions on CodaLab or a similar competition site. - Write a task description paper to be included in SemEval proceedings, and present it at the workshop. - Manage participants’ submissions of system description papers, manage participants’ peer review of each others’ papers, and possibly shepherd papers that need additional help in improving the writing. - Review other task description papers. - Define Roles for each Organizer: - Lead Organizer - main point of contact, expected to ensure deliverables are met on time and participate in contributing to task duties (see below). - Co-Organizers - provide significant contributions to ensuring the task runs smoothly. Some examples include, maintaining communication with task participants, preparing data, creating and running evaluation scripts, and leading paper reviewing and acceptance. - Advisory Organizers - more of a supervisor role, may not contribute to detailed tasks but will provide guidance and support. === Important dates === - Task proposals due March 31, 2024 (Anywhere on Earth) - Task selection notification May 18, 2024 === Preliminary timetable === - Sample data ready July 15, 2024 - Training data ready September 1, 2024 - Evaluation data ready December 1, 2024 (internal deadline; not for public release) - Evaluation starts January 10, 2025 - Evaluation end by January 31, 2025 (latest date; task organizers may choose an earlier date) - Paper submission due February 2025 - Notification to authors on March 2025 - Camera-ready due April 2025 - SemEval workshop Summer 2025 (co-located with a major NLP conference) Tasks that fail to keep up with crucial deadlines (such as the dates for having the task and CodaLab website up and dates for uploading sample, training, and evaluation data) or that diverge significantly from the proposal may be cancelled at the discretion of SemEval organizers. While consideration will be given to extenuating circumstances, our goal is to provide sufficient time for the participants to develop strong and well-thought-out systems. Cancelled tasks will be encouraged to submit proposals for the subsequent year’s SemEval. To reduce the risk of tasks failing to meet the deadlines, we are unlikely to accept multiple tasks with overlap in the task organizers. === Submission Details === The task proposal should be a self-contained document of no longer than 3 pages (plus additional pages for references). All submissions must be in PDF format, following the ACL template <https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>. Each proposal should contain the following: - Overview - Summary of the task - Why this task is needed and which communities would be interested in participating - Expected impact of the task - Data & Resources - How the training/testing data will be produced. Please discuss whether existing corpora will be re-used. - Details of copyright, so that the data can be used by the research community both during the SemEval evaluation and afterwards - How much data will be produced - How data quality will be ensured and evaluated - An example of what the data would look like - Resources required to produce the data and prepare the task for participants (annotation cost, annotation time, computation time, etc.) - Assessment of any concerns with respect to ethics, privacy, or security (e.g. personally identifiable information of private individuals; potential for systems to cause harm) - Pilot Task (strongly recommended) - Details of the pilot task - What lessons were learned and how these will impact the task design - Evaluation - The evaluation methodology to be used, including clear evaluation criteria - For Task Reruns - Justification for why a new iteration of the task is needed (see criteria above) - What will differ from the previous iteration - Expected impact of the rerun compared with the previous iteration - Task organizers - Names, affiliations, email addresses - (optional) brief description of relevant experience or expertise - (if applicable) years and task numbers, of any SemEval tasks you have run in the past - Role of each organizer Proposals will be reviewed by an independent group of area experts who may not have familiarity with recent SemEval tasks, and therefore all proposals should be written in a self-explanatory manner and contain sufficient examples. *The submission webpage is:* SemEval2025 Task Proposal Submission <https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2024/Workshop/SemEval> ( https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2024/Workshop/SemEval) For further information on this initiative, please refer to https://semeval.github.io/SemEval2025/cft === Chairs === Atul Kr.

by Announce 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

*** First Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers *** 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'24) June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/ (*** Submission Deadline: 8th March, 2024 AoE ***) The CAiSE conference series has a proud track record of running an international Doctoral Consortium affiliated with the event. The CAiSE'24 Doctoral Consortium aims to attract PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications in the Information Systems Engineering field. At the Doctoral Consortium, the participating PhD students will have the opportunity to present their research and to get feedback from an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment. There will also be discussions tailored to the needs and interests of PhD students. The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are to ensure that participating PhD students: • receive constructive and personalized feedback and advice on their research program by dedicated Doctoral Consortium mentors, • provide an opportunity to meet, interact with and learn from established researchers and practitioners in the Information Systems Engineering community, • develop a supportive community of peer scholars and a spirit of collaborative research, • discuss broader opportunities and concerns related to a PhD study and post-PhD pathways. To be eligible for the Doctoral Consortium, the candidate must be a current PhD student within a recognized research institution. We welcome submissions of both late-stage PhD students (having at least 6 months of work after the conference and before their expected completion), and early-stage PhD students (with at least 6 months of work already performed prior to the submission date). WHY SUBMITTING TO THE CAiSE'24 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM? The CAiSE'24 Doctoral Consortium will be attended by renowned academics from the Information Systems Engineering field who will actively participate as mentors for the PhD students accepted to the Doctoral Consortium. The participating PhD students will receive constructive reviews on their submission, as well as personalized guidance by Doctoral Consortium mentors regarding their research program and presentation at the Consortium event. Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR proceedings (https://ceur-ws.org/), which are indexed in DBLP. Participants of the CAiSE Doctoral Consortium will be subsequently eligible to submit their PhD thesis (after the degree is granted) for a CAiSE PhD Award. SUBMISSION PROCESS Submissions must be made electronically by the stated deadline via the EasyChair conference system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024 . Each submission should contain (i) a recommendation letter from the student’s PhD advisor, and (ii) a paper describing the research plans and the current status of progress (see more details in the Paper Submission Guidelines section). Submissions must have a single author, but the name of the PhD advisors should be mentioned in the paper (usually in the Acknowledgments section). Submissions should concern original research. All submitted materials must be in English. Attendees must have sufficient proficiency in English for being allowed to participate in the academic discussions of the Consortium. Submissions of both early and late-stage PhD students are welcome. Submissions of early-stage PhD students should concentrate on the selection of the research methods to apply, the realization and contextualization of the relevant literature, the expected pitfalls and ways to mitigate them. Submissions of late-stage PhD students should also include preliminary research results and discuss to some extent conclusions and threats. The recommendation letter from the PhD advisor should include an assessment of the current status of the research, an expected date for the completion of the dissertation, a delineation of the anticipated benefits for the student's participation at the Consortium and details of any submissions associated with the research. PAPER CONTENT AND FORMAT The paper must: • clearly formulate the research questions investigated in the thesis, • identify a significant problem in the field of Information System Engineering, • outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions, • describe the research methods that are applied or proposed and the expected artifacts, • outline the contributions of the applicant’s work to the problem domain and highlight their uniqueness, • present any preliminary results achieved so far (mainly relevant for late-stage PhD students), • conform to the CEURART template using the 1-column layout format (thus, NOT the Springer LNCS format and NOT in multiple column layouts); the most recent template (including Word and LaTeX) can be downloaded from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/index.html, • contain up to 4,000 words (including everything, e.g., references, tables, figures). REVIEW PROCESS Each submission will be reviewed by two members of the Doctoral Consortium Mentoring Board. The main evaluation criteria are: relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, accuracy, clarity and the expected benefits to the student from participating in the Doctoral Consortium. Acceptance is based on the review outcomes. ATTENDANCE AND REGISTRATION FEE The Doctoral Consortium is held in parallel with the main CAiSE conference on 5-7 June 2024. The presentations and decisions are expected to take place in person, so attendance in the entire Doctoral Consortium is required. To facilitate detailed feedback to the participants, attendance to the Doctoral Consortium is by invitation only, limited to the participants and the Mentoring Board. There is no separate registration fee for participants in the Doctoral Consortium. Participants should register to the main conference by selecting either the “Main conference” option or another option that includes the main conference.
