We seek proposals in all areas of machine translation (see the call for papers of the main conference for the focus areas of EAMT 2024). The aim of a tutorial is primarily to help the audience develop an understanding of particular technical, applied, and business matters related to research, development, and use of MT and translation technology. Presentations of particular technological solutions or systems are welcome, provided that they serve as illustrations of broader scientific considerations. We recommend that the tutorial covers work by the presenters as well as by other researchers. The submission should explain that this breadth is ensured. Tutorials should not be “self-invited talks”. *** Submission Details *** Proposals should not exceed 4 pages of content (plus unlimited pages for references), should be in PDF format, and should contain the following: - A title and authors, affiliations, and contact information. - A brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the machine translation community. - Short description of the target audience and any expected prerequisite background the audience should be aware of. - An outline of the tutorial structure content and how it will be covered in a three-hour slot (half-day). In exceptional cases, six-hour tutorial slots (full day) are available. These time limits do not include coffee breaks, e.g., a three-hour tutorial, in fact, occupies a 3.5-hour slot, and a six-hour tutorial occupies a 7-hour slot. - Diversity considerations, e.g. use of multilingual data, indications of how the described methods scale up to various languages or domains, participation of both senior and junior instructors, demographic and geographical diversity of the instructors, plans for how to diversify audience participation, etc. - Reading list. Work that you expect the audience to read before the tutorial can be indicated by an asterisk. Recommended papers should provide the breadth of authorship and include work by other authors, and work from other disciplines is welcome if relevant. - For each tutorial presenter, a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise for the tutorial topic, as well as experience in instructing an international audience. An estimate of the audience size for the tutorial. If the same or a similar tutorial has been given before, include information on where any previous version of the tutorial was given and how many attendees the tutorial attracted. - A description of special requirements for technical equipment. Tutorial proposals should be submitted as PDF files to OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Tutorials_Track. Submissions should be formatted according to the templates specified below. Anonymisation is not required. Submissions should be no longer than 4 pages (excluding references). *** Templates for writing your proposal *** There templates available in the following formats (check our website -- https://eamt2024.sheffield.ac.uk/conference-calls/call-for-papers): - LaTeX - Cloneable Overleaf template - Word - Libre Office/Open Office - PDF *** Evaluation Criteria *** Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated according to its clarity and preparedness, novelty or timely character of the topic, and instructors’ experience. ** Tutorial Instructor Responsibilities *** Accepted tutorial presenters will be notified by 15 April 2024.

2nd CfP: LEGAL 2024 - Legal and Ethical Issues in Human Language Technologies Workshop >> NEW DATE: May 20, 2024
by Helene Mazo 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

[Apologies for cross-postings] 2nd CfP LEGAL 2024 Legal and Ethical Issues in Human Language Technologies Workshop at LREC-COLING 2024, Turin, Italy https://legal2024.mobileds.de/ May 20, 2024 About the Workshop 2023 is likely to be remembered as a year dominated by discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLM). These technologies require data to be collected and utilized in unprecedented amounts. Large sets of Language data are owned by stakeholders that are not necessarily involved in the development of such technologies. To use these sets for AI and LLM, it is essential to repackage and repurpose them for such endeavor. Language data, despite their intangible nature, are often subject to legal constraints which need to be addressed in order to guarantee lawful access to and re-use of these data. In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to adapt legal frameworks to the advancements in technology while taking into account the interests of various stakeholders. From the technological perspective, the strict consideration of legal aspects imposes further questions besides pure recording technology and participant consent. This arises in several key elements: - What is the Intellectual Proprietary status of Large Language sets, the corresponding Large Language Models, and their potential outputs? - How can identifying information used in deep learning be removed or anonymized (and is this mandatory), how reliable are predictions/ models based on anonymized data? - Which impact does this have on the usability, computational costs? The purpose of this full-day workshop is to build bridges between technology and legal framework, and discuss current legal and ethical issues in the human language technology sector. Important Dates Submission Deadline: March 4, 2024 Notification of Acceptance: March 30, 2024 Camera ready: April 5, 2024 Workshop Day: May 20, 2024 Topics - Impact of statutory exceptions on text and speech data mining practices in the field of Human Language Technologies. - Impact of the regulatory environment at the international level (e.g. EU Data Act, Digital Governance Act, Digital Services Act, AI Act; the Chinese “2023 draft rules on generative AI”, the USA Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and other international or national regulations) on the circulation and use of language data. - Legal issues related to the production and use of Large Language Models (Intellectual Property, Data Governance and Data Protection aspects). - Concrete applications as to how language technologies can help resolve legal issues related to data collection, data sharing and data reuse. - Ethical considerations related to personal data collection and re-use - Trust and transparency in language and speech technologies - Efficient anonymization techniques, and the related responsibility, and their impact on usability and performance - Re-identification issues/De-anonymization approaches and techniques - Harmonizing differing perspectives of data scientists and legal experts, worldwide Submission 1500-2000 words extended abstracts are needed at first for submission. The full papers will be published as workshop proceedings along with the LREC-COLING main conference. For these, the instructions of the main conference need to be followed @ https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/ START Submission Page: https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/legal2024/ Identify, Describe and Share your LRs! When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC-COLING authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).

CAiSE'24 Forum: Final Call for Papers and Tool Demonstrations
by Announce 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

*** CAiSE'24 Forum: Final Call for Papers and Tool Demonstrations *** 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: 4th March, 2024 AoE ***) The CAiSE Forum is a space within the CAiSE conference to present and discuss the new exciting ideas and tools related to Information Systems Engineering. The Forum intends to serve as an interactive platform, encourage potential authors to present emerging topics and controversial positions, and demonstrate innovative systems, tools, and applications. The Forum sessions at the CAiSE conference will facilitate the interaction, discussion, and exchange of ideas among presenters and participants. Contributions to the CAiSE'24 Forum are welcome to address any of the CAiSE'24 conference topics and, particularly, this year's theme—Information Systems in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. We invite two types of submissions: • Visionary papers present innovative research projects, which are still at a relatively early stage and do not necessarily include a full-scale validation. Visionary papers will be presented as posters in the Forum. • Demo papers describe innovative tools and prototypes that implement the results of research efforts. The tools and prototypes will be presented as demos in the Forum, accompanied by a poster. Both visionary papers and demo papers must not exceed 8 pages in LNCS format. See authors' guidelines at the Springer site: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… . Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the conference management system available at Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=caise2024) and select the Forum option. The submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATIONS Accepted papers will be published by Springer in a CAISE Forum proceedings volume within the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series (https://www.springer.com/series/7911). Authors should consult Springer's authors guidelines and use their LaTeX or Word proceedings templates for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. It is expected that at least one of the authors attends CAiSE'24, presents the poster/delivers the demo, and interacts with the Forum participants. We also envision a short oral presentation for all papers to attract participants to the posters. IMPORTANT DATES • Paper Submission Deadline: 4th March, 2024 (AoE) • Notification of Acceptance: 1st April, 2024 • Camera-ready Deadline: 8th April, 2024 • Author Registration Deadline: 8th April, 2024 FORUM CHAIRS • Shareeful Islam, Anglia Ruskin University, United Kingdom • Arnon Sturm, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel FORUM COMMITTEE • Steven Alter, University of San Francisco • Abel Armas Cervantes, The University of Melbourne • Giuseppe Berio, Université de Bretagne Sud and IRISA UMR 6074 • Drazen Brdjanin, University of Banja Luka • Corentin Burnay, University of Namur • Cinzia Cappiello, Politecnico di Milano • Suphamit Chittayasothorn, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang • Maya Daneva, University of Twente • Sergio de Cesare, University of Westminster • Johannes De Smedt, KU Leuven • Marne de Vries, University of Pretoria • Michael Fellmann, University of Rostock • Christophe Feltus, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology • Hans-Georg Fill, University of Fribourg • Janis Grabis, Riga Technical University • Sergio Guerreiro, INESC-ID / Instituto Superior Técnico • Martin Henkel, Stockholm University • Jennifer Horkoff, Chalmers University of Technology • Shareeful Islam, Anglia Ruskin University • Janis Kampars, RTU • Evangelia Kavakli, University of the Aegean • Marite Kirikova, Riga Technical University • Janne J.

Extended Deadline [March 04, 2024]: 2nd Workshop on Resources and Technologies for Indigenous, Endangered and Lesser-resourced Languages in Eurasia (EURALI)
by Atul K. Ojha 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

Apologies for cross-posting *2nd Workshop on Resources and Technologies for Indigenous, Endangered and Lesser-resourced Languages in Eurasia (EURALI) @ LREC-COLING 2024* Date: 20-25 May, 2024 Paper submissions due March 04th, 2024 Venue: Lingotto Conference Centre - Torino (Italia) Main website: https://sites.google.com/view/eurali/ LREC-COLING 2024 website: https://lrec-coling-2024.org/ Submission website: https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/eurali2024/ —————————————————————————————————— *Workshop overview and objectives* This workshop will focus on the development of language technology resources and tools for indigenous, endangered and lesser-resourced languages on the Eurasian continent. In a media-centric world where language technology allows people to break cultural and language barriers, it is important that speakers of endangered and indigenous languages can be empowered to use this technology to continue to share their knowledge and culture with the world. With the hope of bridging this gap, the goal of this workshop is to increase visibility and promote research for lesser-resourced and under-represented languages in Europe and Asia. Through collaboration between NLP researchers, language experts and linguists working for the benefit of endangered languages in these communities, we aim to create language technology resources that will help to preserve and revive these languages for future generations. Furthermore, the workshop aims to promote the emergence of new methods that benefit linguists (e.g. automating analysis and validation processes), field linguists (facilitating data collection and analysis processes), and computational linguists (developing new techniques necessary for linguistic analysis, development of supervised or weakly supervised methods for the analysis of poorly written or undocumented languages). The main objective of the workshop is to create basic resources and develop tools for Eurasiatic languages, including but not limited to the following topics: - identifying languages and variants spoken in these regions - creation of language resources and applications, e.g. sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and syntactic parsing - standardization for endangered languages - automatic identification and classification of lexical variation and language varieties - adaptation of fundamental NLP tools for these languages, e.g., morphological analysis, taggers and parsers - reusability of language resources in NLP applications, e.g. machine translation, and POS tagging - machine translation between closely related languages - evaluation of language resources and tools when applied to lesser-resourced languages in the same language families - corpora, resources, and tools for closely related languages - linguistic and textual similarities among languages in Eurasia - digitalization of endangered languages - challenges in the creation of language resources and tools from linguistic perspectives (which includes any perspective formal theory) *Submissions* We are seeking submissions in the following categories: - Full papers: 8 pages+unlimited references - Short papers (work in progress): 4 pages+unlimited references - Posters (innovative ideas/proposals, a research idea of students): 4 pages+unlimited references - Demo (of working online/standalone systems): 2 pages Papers must describe original, completed or in progress, and unpublished work. The accepted papers will be given up for full/short paper and poster in the workshop proceedings and will be presented as an oral presentation or poster. Papers should be formatted according to the LREC-COLING style sheet ( https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/), which is provided on the LREC-COLING 2024 website (https://lrec-coling-2024.org/). Please submit papers in PDF format to the START account ( https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/eurali2024/).
