What does Linguistic Linked Data brings to Deep Learning and vice versa ? Let’s bring together these two complementary approaches in NLP.

Motivations for the Workshop
Since the appearance of transformers (Vaswani et al., 2017), Deep Learning (DL) and neural approaches have brought a huge contribution to Natural Language Processing (NLP) either with highly specialized models for specific application or via Large Language Models (LLMs) (Devlin et al., 2019; Brown et al., 2020; Touvron et al., 2023) that are efficient few-shot learners for many NLP tasks. Such models usually build on huge web-scale data (raw multilingual corpora and annotated specialized, task related, corpora) that are now widely available on the Web. This approach has clearly shown many successes, but still suffers from several weaknesses, such as the cost/impact of training on raw data, biases, hallucinations, explainability, among others (Nah et al., 2023).
The Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) (Chiarcos et al., 2013) community aims at creating/distributing explicitly structured data (modelled as RDF graphs) and interlinking such data across languages. This collection of datasets, gathered inside the LLOD Cloud (Chiarcos et al., 2020), contains a huge amount of multilingual ontological (e.g. DBpedia (Lehmann et al., 2015)); lexical (e.g., DBnary (Sérasset, 2015), Wordnet (McCrae et al., 2014), Wikidata (Vrandečić and Krötzsch, 2014)); or linguistic (e.g., Universal Dependencies Treebank (Nivre et al., 2020; Chiarcos et al., 2021), DBpedia Abstract Corpus (Brümmer et al., 2016)) information, structured using common metadata (e.g., OntoLex (McCrae et al., 2017), NIF (Hellmann et al., 2013), etc.) and standardised data categories (e.g., lexinfo (Cimiano et al., 2011), OliA (Chiarcos and Sukhareva, 2015)).
Both communities bring striking contributions that seem to be highly complementary. However, if knowledge (ontological) graphs are now routinely used in DL, there is still very few research studying the value of Linguistic/Lexical knowledge in the context of DL. We think that, today, there is a real opportunity to bring both communities together to take the best of both worlds. Indeed, with more and more work on Graph Neural Networks (Wu et al., 2023) and Embeddings on RDF graphs (Ristoski et al., 2019), there is more and more opportunity to apply DL techniques to build, interlink or enhance Linguistic Linked Open Datasets, to borrow data from the LLOD Cloud for enhancing Neural Models on NLP tasks, or to take the best of both worlds for specific NLP use cases.
Submission Topics
This workshop aims at gathering researchers that work on the interaction between DL and LLOD in order to discuss what each approach has to bring to the other. For this, we welcome contributions on original work involving some of the following (non exhaustive) topics:

[Introduction]
NLP in the age of monolithic large language models starts to hit the limits in terms of size and information that can be handled. The trend goes to modularization, a necessary step into the direction of designing smaller sub-networks and components with specialized functionality. This allows researchers to design scalable, wide-coverage, efficient and reusable models.
Multilingual NLP is today faced with a number of difficult challenges. Scaling a multilingual model to a high number of languages is prone to suffer from negative interference, also known as the curse of multilinguality, leading to degradation in per-language performance, while earlier approaches to improving model capacity have hit the ceiling in terms of hardware, data and training algorithms. At the same time, we as a community wish to foster the development of open components that can be shared, deployed and widely integrated within the broader research community without incurring computational costs that add to the overall carbon footprint of NLP engineering. Modularity is a practical solution to answer all of these challenges and more, as it offers a very promising set of tools towards increased multilinguality of larger foundation models, either during their pretraining or in a post-hoc post-pretraining manner.
[Topics of Interest]
With this in mind, the MOOMIN workshop invites contributions related but not limited to the following topics:
* mixture of expert models and gated routing

* modular frameworks and architecture implementations
* massively multilingual models with large language coverage
* subnet selection and pruning
* modular distillation
* modular extensions of existing NLP models systems, especially in low-resource settings and for low-resource languages
* evaluation of modular systems in terms of performance, efficiency, and computational costs
* platforms for distributing, sharing, and integrating NLP components
[Submission Guidelines]

[Workshop Topic and Content]
Human languages are inherently ambiguous and understanding language input is subject to interpretation and complex contextual dependencies. Nevertheless, the main body of research in NLP is still based on the assumption that ambiguities and other types of underspecification can and have to be resolved. This workshop will provide a platform for research that embraces variability in human language and aims to represent and evaluate the uncertainty that arises from it, and from modeling tools themselves.
Confirmed Invited Speakers:
* Kristin Lennox (Exponent)
* Mohit Bansal (UNC Chapel Hill)
UncertaiNLP welcomes submissions to topics related (but not limited) to:
* Frameworks for uncertainty representation
* Theoretical work on probability and its generalizations
* Symbolic representations of uncertainty
* Documenting sources of uncertainty
* Theoretical underpinnings of linguistic sources of variation
* Data collection (e.g., to document linguistic variability, multiple perspectives, etc.)
* Modeling
* Explicit representation of model uncertainty (e.g., parameter and/or hypothesis uncertainty, Bayesian NNs in NLU/NLG, verbalised uncertainty, feature density, external calibration modules)
* Disentangled representation of different sources of uncertainty (e.g., hierarchical models, prompting)
* Reducing uncertainty due to additional context (e.g., additional context, clarification questions, retrieval/API augmented models)
* Learning (or parameter estimation)
* Learning from single and/or multiple references
* Gradient estimation in latent variable models
* Probabilistic inference
* Theoretical and applied work on approximate inference (e.g., variational inference, Langevin dynamics)
* Unbiased and asymptotically unbiased sampling algorithms
* Decision making
* Utility-aware decoders and controllable generation
* Selective prediction
* Active learning
* Evaluation
* Statistical evaluation of language models
* Calibration to interpretable notions of uncertainty (e.g., calibration error, conformal prediction)
* Evaluation of epistemic uncertainty
[Submission Guidelines]
Authors are invited to submit by December 18, 2023 original and unpublished research papers in the following categories:
* Full papers (up to 8 pages) for substantial contributions.
* Short papers (up to 4 pages) for ongoing or preliminary work.
All submissions must be in PDF format, submitted electronically via OpenReview (https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2024/Workshop/UncertaiNLP) and should follow the EACL 2024 formatting guidelines (following the ARR CfP<https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp>: use the official ACL style templates, which are available here<https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>).
We also invite authors of papers accepted to Findings to reach out to the organizing committee of UncertaiNLP to present their papers at the workshop, if in line with the topics described above. Resubmission of already pre-reviewed ARR papers will be possible and more information will be sent in the later calls.

TAC-KBP Belief and Sentiment - Comprehensive Training and Evaluation Data 2016-2017<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023T13> includes all training and evaluation data developed by LDC for the Belief and Sentiment tracks: source documents (Chinese, English, and Spanish newswire and discussion forums); gold standard entity, relation, and event annotation; and belief and sentiment annotation.
The goal of the TAC-KBP Belief and Sentiment track was to provide information about beliefs and sentiments held by entities toward other entities, as well as toward events and relations. The gold standard set of labeled entities, relations, and events was used to create a system for automatically labeling belief and sentiment about each possible target (entity, relation, or event) and for identifying the entity holding the belief or sentiment.
