**** We apologize for the multiple copies of this email. In case you are already registered to the next webinar, you do not need to register again. **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear colleague, We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology webinar series organized by the HiTZ Chair of AI&LT (https://hitz.eus). You can view the videos of previous webinars and the schedule for upcoming webinars here: http://www.hitz.eus/webinars Next webinar: *Speaker:* Christian Herff (Maastricht University) *Title:* Speech neuroprostheses based on intracranial EEG *Date: * Thursday, March 6, 2025 - 15:00 CET *Summary:* Speech is our most natural way of communication and the loss of the ability to speak is therefore devastating to patients. A speech neuroprostheses that directly reconstructs speech processes from neural activity could provide a new means of communications to these severely affected patients. In this presentation, I will present some approaches to reconstruct different representations of speech from intracranial recordings and highlight how they can be used to build a speech neuroprosthesis. The decoding of speech processes is particularly challenging, as not only the neural, but also the target signal has complex, nonlinear dynamics. I will stress the use of interpretable machine learning models for this task to ensure that meaningful activity is decoded and scientific insights might be generated as a side product. *Bio:* Dr. Christian Herff is an assistant professor in the School for Mental Health and Neuroscience at Maastricht University where he leads the invasive BCI research line. His research interest lays in the application of machine learning technology to neurophysiological data for Brain-Computer Interfaces and neuroscience research. With a particular focus on the decoding of speech processes from intracranial data, he tries to improve the lives of severely paralyzed patients while simultaneously improving our understanding of complex higher order cognition. He emphasizes the ability to achieve interpretable results based on computational models. In particular, visualization of complex dynamic models, such as deep neural networks, is of interest to him. * Upcoming webinars:* · Emanuele Bugliarello (Thursday, April 3, 2025) · André F. T. Martins (Thursday, May 8, 2025) · Mirella Lapata (Thursday, June 5, 2025) If you are interested in participating, please complete this registration form: http://www.hitz.eus/webinar_izenematea If you cannot attend this seminar, but you want to be informed of the following HiTZ webinars, please complete this registration form instead: http://www.hitz.eus/webinar_info Best wishes, HiTZ Zentroa P.S: HiTZ will not grant any type of certificate for attendance at these webinars.

RAG Workshop on ICCS Meeting, Singapore 2025
by Magda Król 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, I would like to inform you that the submission deadline for the Advances in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for Specialized Domains Workshop, taking place in Singapore, has been extended. The new final deadline is March 7, 2025. This workshop is part of the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2025), which will be held from July 7 to July 9, 2025, in Singapore. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a critical and rapidly evolving theme in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP). By integrating traditional and modern information retrieval (IR) techniques with the generative capabilities of large language models (LLMs), RAG systems address key limitations related to knowledge updates and domain specificity. This approach is particularly valuable in high-stakes fields such as law, biology, physics, and medicine, where accuracy and reliability are paramount. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on RAG systems to discuss novel approaches, share insights, and explore emerging challenges in efficiency, scalability, domain adaptation, retrieval optimization, and evaluation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Innovations in RAG architectures and retrieval models * Techniques for improving efficiency, scalability, and storage * Domain-specific applications in legal, biomedical, and scientific fields * Fusion methods and retrieval optimization strategies * Evaluation benchmarks and robustness techniques * Ethical considerations, cross-lingual applications, and challenges in low-resource settings We encourage you to share this information with students and other potentially interested individuals. More details about the workshop, including submission guidelines, can be found on the official conference website: 🔗 ICCS 2025 – RAG Workshop [https://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2025/] We look forward to receiving your submissions and engaging in fruitful discussions at the workshop.

IndiREAD Workshop – 1st Call for Papers
by Iza Škrjanec 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

*IndiREAD Workshop 2025: 1st Call for Papers* Saarbrücken, Germany, November 26-27, 2025 IndiREAD is a workshop jointly organized by the ERC Project "Individualized Interaction in Discourse" IDDISC <https://www.uni-saarland.de/lehrstuhl/demberg/individualized-interaction-in…> and the MultiplEYE COST <https://multipleye.eu/> action "Enabling multilingual eye-tracking data collection for human and machine language processing research". While experimental research in reading has a long tradition in identifying key factors that influence reading patterns—including text properties such as font difficulty, word and structure frequency, word predictability, and dependency length—recent studies have emphasized the importance of individual variability in reading behaviour (e.g., Haeuser & Kray, 2024; Kuperman et al., 2018; Nicenboim et al., 2016; Staub, 2021). This work has linked individual variability in reading patterns to differences in working memory capacity, reading skills, linguistic experience, and domain expertise among readers. This informs our understanding of how text characteristics and individual reader attributes interact to shape eye movements during reading. IndiREAD aims to bring together researchers interested in *investigating individual differences in reading using both experimental and computational approaches*. This workshop will focus on methods such as eye-tracking, self-paced reading, and the Maze task, with particular interest in how reading behaviour is correlated with individual differences. We also encourage submissions of computational models for eye movements or reading behavior that shed light on the mechanisms behind these differences. The goal is to foster collaboration between experimental and computational researchers to better understand individual variability among readers. We especially welcome submissions of reading time experiments and modelling of languages beyond English. The IndiREAD Workshop invites submissions of abstracts addressing the following questions: 1. How do individual differences impact the way people read? 2. How do reading patterns vary across different languages, particularly in bilinguals? 3. How do reading patterns change across the lifespan? 4. Which individual difference measures are most suitable for capturing variability in reading patterns? 5. How can we evaluate psycholinguistic theories of reading and sentence processing across languages? 6. How can computational models account for individual differences in reading? 7. How does text adaptation influence reading patterns and comprehension among different individuals? 8. What statistical methods are best suited for reliably identifying latent groups and relating individual differences to reading performance? *Workshop dates*: November 26-27, 2025 Workshop format: The workshop will be held in-person in *Saarbrücken, Germany*. It will feature presentations from invited speakers, as well as contributions based on workshop submissions. The format of the presentations (oral or poster) will be determined based on the number of submissions we receive. *Submission deadline*: July 23, 2025. We invite 1000-word abstracts from interested presenters. Information about submission and formatting will be available on our website soon. Conference website: https://www.uni-saarland.de/indiread Contact email: indiread(a)lst.uni-saarland.de Travel grants: This workshop is sponsored by the MultiplEYE COST Action, which will provide financial support to cover travel expenses for a limited number of participants. Authors will be invited to apply for travel funding upon abstract acceptance. Funding may be partial, and priority will be given to junior researchers. Best, Iza Škrjanec IndiREAD Organizing Committee
