+++Apologies for cross-posting+++ Last call for papers Workshop Discourse studies and linguistic data science: Addressing challenges in interoperability, multilinguality and linguistic data processing - DiSLiDaS 2023 12-13 September 2023 (TBA) University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Paper submission deadline: Extended May, 30, 2023 Website: http://dislidas.mozajka.co<http://dislidas.mozajka.co/> The fourth biennial conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2023) (http://2023.ldk-conf.org<http://2023.ldk-conf.org/>) and Cost Action CA18209 NexusLinguarum (https://nexuslinguarum.eu<https://nexuslinguarum.eu/>) are glad to announce the second workshop Discourse studies and linguistic data science: Addressing challenges in interoperability, multilinguality and linguistic data processing – DiSLiDaS 2023. Conference aims and topics The workshop aims to follow through the topics discussed during DiSLiDaS 2022 (https://dislidas.mozajka.co/?page_id=211) and to gather current research advances in discourse analysis and representation, in the context of multilinguality, from a linguistic and computational perspective. We invite submissions addressing challenges such as interoperability, linguistic linked open data (LLOD), and language processing and analysis. The workshop topics are the following (but not limited to): ● Discourse and dialogue annotation: Parsing and representation across languages and frameworks ● Discourse markers and discourse relations (RST, PDTB, SDRT): Identification, prediction and extraction ● Attitudes discovery and interpretation in Discourse: Appraisal and sentiment ● Effects of multimodality on discourse interpretation: Intonation, gesture and text ● Interoperability for Multilingual language data: Challenges of rich and distributed data ● Discourse data and machine learning: Methods and tools Discourse comprises a wide variety of linguistic phenomena, such as discourse markers, discourse relations, and speaker attitude, which have been largely studied by different communities of practice from Linguistics and Computation, rendering several theoretical frameworks (for instance, RST, SDRT, PDTB, for discourse relations; appraisal theory for sentiment analysis,...), and technological approaches, such as transformer models, embeddings and alike. Nonetheless, there are open issues concerning interoperability, multilinguality, and language processing, in particular, the existence of different annotation schemas, disambiguation, lack of training data for machine learning, scarcity of effective language phenomena detection and interpretation methods, diverse vocabularies, insufficient multilingual parallel corpora of non-dialogue and dialogue, initial stages of exploration of multimodality. Discourse research is one of the central research areas of natural language processing (NLP) too. NLP research focuses on the formalisation, identification and discovery of semantic phenomena, dialogue exchange structure, and text coherence. Some of the technological approaches of NLP include the use of transformer models, word embeddings, linguistic linked open data, the constitution of aligned multilingual corpora, vocabularies of language phenomena and alike. Computational discourse explores the evidence that language consists not only of placing words in the right order but also of detecting and interpreting the meaning and deeper textual relations and organising ideas into a logical flow. The linguistic approaches study language phenomena referring to coherence and cohesiveness of discourse, lexical, phrasal, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic means to express discourse relations, represent their roles and build language resources for them. Despite all the advances, there are still plenty of unresolved problems related to interoperability, multilinguality, and language processing. With the growth of the Semantic Web and Linguistic Linked Data, interoperability is key to reading, interpreting and adopting language resources. The existence of different annotation schemas to encode discourse relations constitutes a problem for data exchange and reuse and for theoretical consistency. The treatment of multilinguality is also complicated because of the insufficiency of multilingual parallel corpora of collections of non-dialogue and dialogue texts, which would allow systematic contrastive studies. As to language processing, the lack of training data for machine learning, coupled with the scarcity of effective language phenomena detection and interpretation methods, the coexistence of diverse vocabularies, and the minimal attention to the contribution of the tone of voice, intonation, gestures to the meaning and the informative value of discourse elements make the task of discourse processing still very challenging. The workshop intends to be a discussion forum for researchers interested in addressing the aforementioned challenges and advancing the state-of-art in discourse studies and linguistic data science. Programme The Scientific Programme will include one invited talk and oral presentations. Invited Speaker Johan Bos, University of Groningen Submissions Submissions can be in the form of: • long papers: 9–12 pages; • short papers: 4–6 pages. All submission lengths are given including references. Accepted submissions will be published by ACL in an open-access conference proceedings volume, free of charge for authors. The ACL templates should therefore be used for all conference submissions. As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymised. The workshop will be hybrid (face-to-face and remote). Note that at least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the paper at the workshop (either remotely or on-site). There will be no registration fee administered for participating in DiSLiDaS 2023.

[CFP] KDD 2023 Applied Data Science for Healthcare Workshop
by Sabrina Hsueh 19 May '23

19 May '23

CALL FOR PAPERS Applied Data Science for Healthcare Workshop in KDD 2023: Applications and New Frontiers of Generative Models for Healthcare 4 page submissions are due by May 23, 2023 https://dshealthkdd.github.io/dshealth-2023 https://kdd.org/kdd2023/workshops/ Generative models have a long history, and many application areas exist in medical machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). In healthcare research, one of the most common applications of generative models has been generating synthetic data for training machine learning models. It is often used to increase the representation of patient subgroups to improve generalization and mitigate algorithmic biases. This is especially valuable in application domains where data is hard to come by. The generative models can also be used for specific model evaluation purposes (e.g., within a robustness or generalizability assessment, virtual clinical trials). They can help generate synthetic ground truth data when data labeling is highly burdensome. Moreover, generative models have been successfully applied in data preprocessing or enhancement, such as image reconstruction or denoising deep learning algorithms in medical imaging. While such generative models have proven their utility in the health domain, many open questions remain concerning the approaches for evaluating their effectiveness and safety. Testing and evaluation of such models require specific considerations. Taking the assessment of the gap between the generated data and the reality — the so-called Sim2Real challenge — as an example, it is often unclear how to (i) quantify this domain gap and its impact on downstream performance in a meaningful manner and (ii) reduce it to leverage the potential of generative models fully. New challenges are also emerging on a more grand scale. The recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) make data generation even more effortless. However, the misinformation generated with such models may cause a “pollution” of data for future model training. We can expect an increased need for effective fact-checking approaches. Despite the considerable growth of this area of research, the actual use of NLP technology for fact-checking is still in its infancy. In this half-day workshop, we would like to discuss some of the most common applications of generative models in ML/AI research in the healthcare domain, the current challenges, and also explore the potential new application areas. We invite full papers and work-in-progress on the application of data science in healthcare. Topics may include but are not limited to the following topics (For more information, see workshop overview <https://dshealthkdd.github.io/dshealth-2023/#home>) with a special focus on generative models for healthcare. - Synthetic data - Training data augmentation, e.g., in computer vision, medical imaging algorithm - Physics- and Chemistry- based generative models - Simulated data and privacy-preserving algorithms - In-silico clinical trials - Testing data, e.g., synthetic ground truth - Generative AI for tabular data - Interpretability - Privacy and security of generative AI - Inverse models for source verification - Watermark for AI-generated data - Factual capabilities of generative AI - Testing and evaluation of the generative models - Sim2Real domain gap - Data selection & quality aspects of the data (distribution shifts, monitoring of the models) - Fact-checking - Generating new healthcare-specific benchmarks - Bias detection and mitigation in healthcare - Reliability and trustworthiness of the generative models (actionable plans) - Application of LLMs - Systematic literature review - Modernizing pharmaceutical call center operations - Chatbot for patient registration, triage, scheduling, and rooming - Semantic data augmentation - Others - Responsible use of Generative AI - Generative AI Fairness and Bias detection - Generative AI bias mitigation (e.g., adversarial training) - Generative AI model transparency - Generative AI ethics and responsible AI risk management - Other - Knowledge representation learning Papers must be submitted in PDF format to easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dshealth2023 and formatted according to the new Standard ACM Conference Proceedings Template <https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>.

CfP: Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 (December 13-16, 2023), deadline JUly 24
by Andres Karjus 17 May '23

17 May '23

We invite submissions for the Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 / CUDAN 2023, organized by the ERA Chair project for Cultural Data Analytics at Tallinn University, generously funded by the European Commission. Inspired by initial large gatherings of the cultural analytics community, including UCLA/IPAM 2016, and multidisciplinary conferences such as NetSci, IC2S2, or CSS, we aim to bring together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders using methods of cultural data analytics to understand cultures and cultural production. This particularly includes multidisciplinary combinations of quantification, qualitative inquiry, computational analysis, and visualization to make sense of large cultural datasets, including visual, audiovisual, linguistic, and other genres of socio-cultural materials. The conference is scheduled to happen in Tallinn, Estonia from December 13 to 16, 2023, including a number of leading invited practitioners, peer-reviewed talks, and poster contributions from the community. Conference programme The CUDAN 2023 main conference programme (December 14-16, 2023) will include six keynotes covering the spectrum of relevant disciplines, a lightning talk session in the plenary, parallel sessions, and a poster section. The latter will run throughout the whole conference in the coffee and lunch area that is collocated with the plenum. The conference will close with a best poster and best paper award ceremony. The pre-conference day (December 13, 2023) will feature introductory workshops by CUDAN senior fellows, covering aspects of cultural data analysis and visualization using Python, R, Tableau, and the Collection Space Navigator. Before and after the main conference, we will offer sightseeing tours, including the medieval Tallinn old town and Christmas market (among many reasons to visit Estonia). We are further planning a meet the publisher’s session and other opportunities for relevant stakeholders, including exhibition booths. If you or your institution/company is interested in participation, please contact us via email to cudan(a)tlu.ee, ideally before September 14, 2023. Keynotes – Petter Holme, Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland – Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, Université de Genève, Switzerland – Mauro Martino, Visual Artificial Intelligence Lab, IBM Research, Boston, USA – Anu Masso, TalTech, Tallinn, Estonia Conference Scope and Call Cultures and cultural production are multifaceted phenomena, which, like other complex systems, cannot be fully understood from the perspective of a single specific discipline. This is why the core mission of cultural data analytics is to join forces and make headway across disciplines and domains of expertise. Feeding into this mission, we welcome both multidisciplinary submissions, and contributions from specific disciplines, which aim to benefit from discussion in a multidisciplinary forum. We encourage discussion towards a deeper understanding of cultures and cultural production including aspects, methods, and intersections of the following fields: – cultural analytics, culturomics, and socio-cultural data science; – digital humanities and computational humanities; – cultural evolution, including experimental and observational approaches; – cultural complexity science, network science, computational social science, and social physics; – computational linguistics, quantitative aesthetics, critical computer vision, and machine learning; – art history, cultural history, cultural semiotics, film studies, musicology, and urbanism; – artistic research, algorithmic curation, and AI art (including aspects of cultural data analysis); – creative industries research, media economics, and policy studies; – data journalism, data science, and information visualization. Contributions ideally address at least one of the following subject domains (in line with state-of-the-art conceptual reference models for cultural data): – material aspects, including artworks, architecture, texts, images, sound, film, digital media, databases, and other forms of tangible cultural heritage; – conceptual aspects, including cultural practices, rituals, theories, policies, data models, narratives, imagined communities, and other forms of intangible cultural heritage; – social aspects, including human behaviour, human mobility, social networks, and social media; – temporal aspects, from slow historical processes to turbulence in today’s economy of attention; – spatial aspects of historical topography, cultural geography, and urban dynamics; – event aspects, which combine the above aspects in cultural co-production, event series, tourism, etc.; – network aspects of socio-cultural interaction, including the inherent ecology of complex networks as documented in the structure and dynamics of large cultural knowledge graphs or blockchains associated with the crypto-art-market, for example. We invite authors to submit a single-page abstract pdf including a descriptive figure and caption by the 24th of July 2023 via our OpenReview submission system. We accept contributed talks, lightning talks, and posters (please indicate your preference). Review is single-blind. SUBMIT HERE: https://openreview.net/group?id=CUDAN.tlu.ee/2023/Conference

by Magnini Bernardo 17 May '23

17 May '23

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLiC-it 2023 - Ninth Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 30 November - 2 December, 2023, Venice, Italy Conference Announcement and First Call for Papers https://clic2023.ilc.cnr.it/ The Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics, CLiC-it, aims at establishing a reference forum for the Italian community of researchers working in the fields of Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). CLiC-it promotes and disseminates high-level, original research on all aspects of automatic language processing, both written and spoken, and targets state-of-the-art theoretical results, experimental methodologies, technologies, as well as application perspectives, which may contribute to the advancement of the CL and NLP fields. The spirit of the conference is inclusive. In the conviction that the complexity of language phenomena needs cross-disciplinary competences, CLiC-it intends to bring together researchers of related disciplines such as Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital Humanities. CLiC-it is open to contributions on all languages, with a particular emphasis on Italian. The ninth edition of CLiC-it will be held in Venice, on 30 November - 2 December, 2023. CLiC-it is organised by the Italian Association of Computational Linguistics (AILC -- www.ai-lc.it). Submission Format ----------------- CLiC-it 2023 invites the submission of long and short papers in all aspects of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. CLiC-it 2023 aims to have a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to (in alphabetical order): - Computational Historical Linguistics - Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics - Dialogue and Interactive Systems - Discourse and Pragmatics - Ethics and NLP - Generation - Handwritten Text Recognition - Information Extraction - Information Retrieval and Text Mining - Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP - Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond - Large Language Models - Linguistic Diversity - Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling, and Psycholinguistics - Machine Learning for NLP - Machine Translation - Multilingualism and Cross-Lingual NLP - NLP Applications - NLP for the Humanities - Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation - Pragmatics and Creativity - Question Answering - Resources and Evaluation - Semantics: Lexical, Sentence-level Semantics, Textual Inference, and Other Areas - Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining - Speech and Multimodality - Summarization - Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing Paper Types and Formats ----------------------- - LONG PAPERS must describe substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Long papers may consist of up to six (6) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of references and appendices. Final versions of long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to seven (7) pages), so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. - SHORT PAPERS submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Please note that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers should have a small, focused contribution - a point that can be made in a few pages with sufficient level of detail. Short papers may consist of up to three (3) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of references and appendices. Final versions of short papers will be given one additional page of content (up to four (4) pages), so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. In particular, CLiC-it 2023 welcomes the following kinds of contributions: - Computationally-aided linguistic and literary analysis (of either models or data resources) - NLP engineering experiment - Reproduction study - New data resources, particularly for Italian and for low-resource languages - Approaches for data- and compute efficiency - Position papers - Surveys - Publicly available software and pre-trained models Both, long and short papers, will be evaluated according to the following criteria: - soundness of approach - relevance to computational linguistics - novelty and clarity of relation with related work - quality of presentation - quality of evaluation (only for long papers, if applicable) - verifiability and ability to replicate (only for long papers, if applicable) While there is no direct mapping between types of contributions and paper length, some kinds of papers naturally gravitate towards a certain length: e.g. surveys are more likely to be long rather than short papers. One paper can make more than one contribution of different types (e.g., a paper presenting a new resource and experiments using the resource). Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract both in English and Italian. Submission is electronic, using the OpenReview conference management system. Both long and short papers must follow the CLiC-it two-column format, using the supplied official style files. We strongly recommend the use of LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files according to the following formats: - Download LaTex Template: https://clic2023.ilc.cnr.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/clic2023.zip - Download Word Template: https://clic2023.ilc.cnr.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/clic2023.odt Please do not modify these style files, nor should you use templates designed for other conferences. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles, including paper size, margin width, and font size restrictions, will be rejected without review. Papers must be submitted through the OpenReview platform using the following link: https://openreview.net/group?id=AI-LC.it/CLiC-it/2023/Conference Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author information from manuscripts. Research Communication Papers ---------------------------------- CLiC-it 2023 favours a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers that have been submitted and accepted elsewhere in 2022. If you are the author of a paper accepted at a major international CL conference or journal in 2022, you can submit your work at CLiC-it 2023 in the form of a short research communication, within a dedicated session at the conference. Research communications will not be published in the proceedings, but are mostly intended to enforce dissemination of excellence in research within the Italian CL community. The papers submitted must be in scope for the CLiC-it 2023 conference. The authors of any paper that meets the above criteria are invited to submit a written (maximum) one-page document with the abstract of the original paper, the paper’s title, the paper’s authors, and a pointer to the original journal paper at the conference or journal Web site. Authors will be invited to present their papers at CLiC-it 2023 after a check that the paper satisfies the above listed criteria. As the papers have already been reviewed and published, they will not be reviewed again. In the case that an exceptionally high number of submissions is received, a selection will be made, also based on the original publication venue. Priority will be given to papers that better fit the conference program, offering a balance across the conference topics. Awards ---------------------------------- In order to award the work of young researchers, the title of “best paper” will be attributed to the best papers in different research areas with a Master/PhD student among the authors and presenting the work at the conference. The awarded authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to the Italian Journal of Computational Linguistics (IJCoL). To recognise excellence in student research as well as promote awareness of our field and with the endorsement of AILC, we are conferring the “Emanuele Pianta” prize for the best Master Thesis (Laurea Magistrale) in Computational Linguistics submitted at an Italian University. The prize consists of 500 euro plus free membership to AILC for one year and free registration to the upcoming CLiC-it, where the author will have the chance to present her/his thesis. The complete call is available on the conference website at: “Calls > AILC Master Thesis Award”. Multiple Submission Policy -------------------------- CLiC-it 2023 allows for a multiple submission policy. In case of acceptance of the paper in other venues, the authors must communicate this information to the CLiC-it 2023 Chairs as soon as possible. Important Dates --------------- - 20/07/2023: Paper submission deadline: long, short, research communications - 29/09/2023: Notification to authors of reviewing outcome - 20/10/2023: Camera ready version of accepted papers - 30/11 - 2/12/2023: CLiC-it Conference, Venice People ------ Conference Chairs: - Federico Boschetti (Institute for Computational Linguistics "A.
