Workshop Aims
The main objective of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of the dynamics on the Digital Humanities work floor when researchers, teachers and/or professionals with different – but often overlapping – areas of competence engage in remote collaboration to solve humanities research questions, and to explore how education and training of humanities scholars, cultural heritage professionals and technical experts can help to make remote collaboration across disciplines more efficient and effective, more creative and innovative, and more inclusive and rewarding for all participants.
To this end, we invite submissions reporting on all aspects and stages of engaging in remote collaborative research and teaching in DH, including the obstacles encountered and solutions found. We also welcome position papers on the role of research infrastructures in facilitating remote collaboration in DH.
The insights gained should help those involved in the education of humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts alike to develop better training programmes, tailored towards the needs of a diverse group of potential learners.
The workshop is a follow-up of three previous successful TwinTalks workshops that have taken place at various DH conferences from 2019 onwards (TwinTalks 1 proceedings<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2365/>; TwinTalks 1 blog<http://www.parthenos-project.eu/clarin-and-parthenos-twintalks>; TwinTalks 2+3 proceedings<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2717/>).
Audience
Researchers, cultural heritage professionals, educators, scientific programmers, research infrastructure operators and policy-makers with a special interest in creating the conditions where people with humanities research skills and technical expertise (or both) can fruitfully collaborate in answering humanities research questions remotely.
Workshop Format
The programme starts with an invited talk by a prominent speaker, which will set the scene for the rest of the day. The main component of the workshop programme consists of two types of (submitted) talks:
* Twin talks, i.e. talks presented by pairs or teams consisting of someone rooted primarily in humanities research (with a humanities research problem, i.e. not a technical problem or tool), someone with a background in a totally different discipline (e.g. technical) who has contributed their specific capabilities to arrive at the answers, and/or a cultural heritage professional whose collection knowledge has contributed to the development of the research corpus. Talks will usually consist of three parts, followed by questions from the audience: In the first part, the humanities research question is the point of focus, while in the second part, it is shown how the joint effort resulted in an answer to the respective question. In the third part, these perspectives come together, as the team describes how the remote collaboration went, including obstacles that were encountered, and how better training and education could help to make remote collaboration more efficient and effective.
* Teach talks by teachers/lecturers/trainers with experience with or interesting ideas about how remote cross-discipline collaboration is or can be addressed in curricula or other training activities.
Submissions
The language of the workshop is English.
What we expect from the submissions for the Twin Talks track:
* They are authored and presented by one or more humanities scholars and one or more digital experts
* They start from a humanities research question (i.e. not a technical question, a presentation of a tool, a platform or a data collection)
* They describe the remote research carried out jointly and its results
* They describe the technical aspects of the methods used and the results obtained
* They analyse the way the scholars and the technicians collaborated remotely, addressing issues such as (but not limited to):
* What was easy and what was difficult, and why?
* How did the researchers, technicians or cultural heritage professionals change each other’s way of looking at things?
* Did they, for instance, make each other aware of blind spots they had?
* Did the combination of thinking from a DH research question and thinking from a technical solution lead to new insights?
* How could better training or education of scholars and digital experts make remote collaboration easier, more effective and more efficient?
With regards to the TeachTalks track, one single author and presenter is sufficient. Of course, multi-author papers are equally welcome.
Submission instructions
* Format: PDF. For format instructions, see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip
* Size: Extended abstracts, size ca 4-8 pages (between 2000-4000 words), covering research questions and answers, technical aspects and collaboration experience for Twin Talks, or relevant educational experience for Teach Talks.
* Publication: The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS<https://ceur-ws.org/>.

We are very happy to announce the eighteenth release of annotated
treebanks in Universal Dependencies, v2.12, available at
http://universaldependencies.org/.
Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop
cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages
with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development,
cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology
perspective (de Marneffe et al., 2021; Nivre et al., 2020). The
annotation scheme is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de
Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008, 2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags
(Petrov et al., 2012), and the Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic
tagsets (Zeman, 2008). The general philosophy is to provide a universal
inventory of categories and guidelines to facilitate consistent
annotation of similar constructions across languages, while allowing
language-specific extensions when necessary.
The *245* treebanks in v2.12 are annotated according to version 2 of the
UD guidelines and represent the following *141 languages:* Abaza,
Afrikaans, Akkadian, Akuntsu, Albanian, Amharic, Ancient Greek, Ancient
Hebrew, Apurina, Arabic, Armenian, Assyrian, Bambara, Basque, Beja,

Ukrainian, Umbrian, Upper Sorbian, Urdu, Uyghur, Vietnamese, Warlpiri,
Welsh, Western Armenian, Western Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, Wolof, Xavante,
Xibe, Yakut, Yoruba, Yupik and Zaar. The 141 languages belong to *30
families:* Afro-Asiatic, Arawakan, Arawan, Austro-Asiatic, Austronesian,
Basque, Bororoan, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Code switching, Creole,
Dravidian, Eskimo-Aleut, Indo-European, Japanese, Korean, Macro-Je,
Mande, Mayan, Mongolic, Niger-Congo, Northwest Caucasian, Pama-Nyungan,
Sign Language, Sino-Tibetan, Tai-Kadai, Tungusic, Tupian, Turkic, Uralic
and Uto-Aztecan. Depending on the language, the treebanks range in size
from less than 1,000 tokens to over 3 million tokens. We expect the next

============================================
15th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS)
Universit�� de Lorraine, Nancy, France
20-23th June 2023
http://iwcs2023.loria.fr/
IWCS is the biennial meeting of SIGSEM [1], the ACL special interest
group on semantics [2]; this year's edition is organized in person by the
Loria [3] and IDMC [4] of the Universit�� de Lorraine.
[1] http://sigsem.org/
[2] http://aclweb.org/
[3] https://www.loria.fr/fr/
[4] http://idmc.univ-lorraine.fr/
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers
interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction,
representation and neuralisation of meaning in natural language,
whether this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective.
IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to
computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference
and workshops will take place 20-23 June 2023.
=== TOPICS OF INTEREST ===
We invite paper submissions in all areas of computational semantics, in
other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural language within
written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication.
Presentations will be oral and posters.
Submissions are invited on these closely related areas, including the
following:
* design of meaning representations
* syntax-semantics interface
* representing and resolving semantic ambiguity
* shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning
* hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics
* distributional semantics
* alternative approaches to compositional semantics
* inference methods for computational semantics
* recognising textual entailment
* learning by reading
* methodologies and practices for semantic annotation
* machine learning of semantic structures
* probabilistic computational semantics
* neural semantic parsing
* computational aspects of lexical semantics
* semantics and ontologies
* semantic web and natural language processing
* semantic aspects of language generation
* generating from meaning representations
* semantic relations in discourse and dialogue
* semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts
* multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning
* semantics-pragmatics interface
* applications of computational semantics
=== SUBMISSION INFORMATION ===
Two types of submission are solicited: long papers and short papers. Both
types should be submitted not later than 3 March (anywhere on earth).
Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8 pages
(not counting acknowledgements and references).
Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research)
must not exceed 4 pages (not counting acknowledgements and references).
Both types will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL
Anthology. Accepted papers get an extra page in the camera-ready version.
Style-files:
IWCS papers should be formatted following the common two-column structure
as used by ACL. Please use our specific style-files or the Overleaf template, taken
from ACL 2021. Similar to ACL 2021, initial submissions should be fully anonymous
to ensure double-blind reviewing.
Submitting:
Papers should be submitted in PDF format via Softconf:
https://softconf.com/iwcs2023/papers
Please make sure that you select the right track when submitting your paper.
Contact the organisers if you have problems using Softconf.
No anonymity period
IWCS 2023 does not have an anonymity period. However, we ask you to be
reasonable and not publicly advertise your preprint during (or right before) review.

preserve, curate, and provide online access to language data – continues
(after the initial LangArc 2021 workshop) addressing the growing need for
professional solutions to challenging engagement and stewardship issues.
LangArc 2023 will explore a broad scope of issues related to digital
language archives. This includes challenges and opportunities, strategies
and solutions for: facilitating depositing and improving access;
information organization, architecture, and retrieval; quality assurance;
usability; ethical issues; ways of encouraging reuse of deposited data in
research and education; and coursework and other training for information
professionals that will develop and maintain digital language archives.
This workshop is expected to support interdisciplinary collaboration among
information professionals, linguists, educators, representatives of
language communities (including indigenous and other underrepresented),
students, and other interested audiences.

2019 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation Test Set - CTS Challenge<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023S03>, developed by LDC and NIST, contains 635 hours of Tunisian Arabic telephone recordings for development and test, answer keys, enrollment, trial files, and documentation from the CTS Challenge portion of the NIST-sponsored 2019 Speaker Recognition Evaluation<https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mig/nist-2019-speaker-recognition-evaluation>. The 2019 evaluation was conducted in two parts: (1) a leaderboard-style challenge based on conversational telephone speech from LDC's Call My Net 2 (CMN2) corpus; and (2) a separate evaluation using audio-visual material collected by LDC for the VAST (Video Annotation for Speech Technology) project (released as LDC2023V01<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023V01>).
The telephone speech data for the CTS Challenge was drawn from the CMN2 collection conducted by LDC in Tunisia in which Tunisian Arabic speakers called friends or relatives who agreed to record their telephone conversations lasting between 8-10 minutes. The speech segments include PSTN (public switched telephone network) and VOIP (voice over IP) data.

LORELEI Zulu Representative Language Pack<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023T06> is comprised of over 5 million words of Zulu monolingual text, 2.7 million words of found Zulu-English parallel text, and 71,000 Zulu words translated from English data. Approximately 100,000 words were annotated for named entities and over 23,000 words were annotated for entity discovery and linking and situation frames (identifying entities, needs, and issues). Data was collected from discussion forum, news, reference, social network, and weblogs.
The LORELEI (Low Resource Languages for Emergent Incidents) program was concerned with building human language technology for low resource languages in the context of emergent situations. Representative languages were selected to provide broad typological coverage.
The knowledge base for entity linking annotation is available separately as LORELEI Entity Detection and Linking Knowledge Base (LDC2020T10)<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2020T10>.

pages of ethical considerations, supplementary material statements, and
references. The supplementary material statement provides detailed
descriptions to support the reproduction of the results presented in the
paper (see below for details). The final versions of long papers will be
given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers'
comments can be taken into account.
- Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research
effort and must not exceed four (4) pages, plus unlimited pages of
ethical considerations, supplementary material statements, and
references. The final versions of short papers will be given one
additional page of content (up to 5 pages) so that reviewers' comments
can be taken into account.
- Demo papers should be no more than two (2) pages, including
references, and should describe implemented systems relevant to the NLG
community. It also should include a link to a short screencast of the
working software. In addition, authors of demo papers must be willing to
present a demo of their system during INLG 2023.
Submissions should follow ACL Author Guidelines
(https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Author_Guidelines)
and policies for submission, review and citation, and be anonymised for
double blind reviewing. Please use ACL 2023 style files; LaTeX style
files and Microsoft Word templates are available at
https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/style_and_formatting/.
Authors must honour the ethical code set out in the ACL Code of Ethics
(https://www.aclweb.org/portal/content/acl-code-ethics). If your work
raises any ethical issues, you should include an explicit discussion of
those issues. This will also be taken into account in the review
process. You may find the following checklist of use:
https://aclrollingreview.org/responsibleNLPresearch/
Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure that their work is
reproducible; see, e.g., the following reproducibility checklist
(https://2021.aclweb.org/calls/reproducibility-checklist/). Papers
involving any kind of experimental results (human judgments, system
outputs, etc) should incorporate a data availability statement into
their paper. Authors are asked to indicate whether the data is made
publicly available. If the data is not made available, authors should
provide a brief explanation why. (E.g. because the data contains
proprietary information.) A statement guide is available on the INLG
2023 website (https://inlg2023.github.io/).
To submit a long or short paper to INLG 2023, authors can either submit
directly or commit a paper previously reviewed by ARR via the same paper
submission site (https://softconf.com/n/inlg2023/). For direct
submissions, the deadline for submitting abstracts and titles of papers
is May 22, 2023, 11:59:59 AOE and the full paper submission deadline is
May 29, 2023, 11:59:59 AOE. If committing an ARR paper to INLG, the
submission is also made through the INLG 2023 paper submission site,
indicating the link of the paper on OpenReview. The deadline for
committing an ARR paper to INLG is June 15, 2023, 11:59:59 AOE, and the
last eligible ARR paper submission deadline for INLG 2023 is April 15,
2023. It is important to note that when committing an ARR paper to INLG,
it should be submitted through the INLG 2023 paper submission site, just
like a direct submission paper, with the only difference being the need
to provide the OpenReview link to the paper and to provide an optional
author response to reviews.
Demo papers should be submitted directly through the INLG 2023 paper
submission site (https://softconf.com/n/inlg2023/) by June 15, 2023,
11:59:59 AOE.
All accepted papers will be published in the INLG 2023 proceedings and
included in the ACL anthology. A paper accepted for presentation at INLG
2023 must not have been presented at any other meeting with publicly
available proceedings. Dual submission to other conferences is
permitted, provided that authors clearly indicate this in the submission
form. If the paper is accepted at both venues, the authors will need to
choose which venue to present at, since they can not present the same
paper twice.
*Awards*
INLG 2023 will present several awards to recognize outstanding
achievements in the field. These awards are:
- Best Long Paper Award: This award will be given to the best long paper
submission based on its originality, impact, and contribution to the
field of NLG.
- Best Short Paper Award: This award will be given to the best short
paper submission based on its originality, impact, and contribution to
the field of NLG.
- Best Demo Paper Award: This award will recognize the best demo paper
submitted to the conference. This award considers not only the paper's
quality but also the demonstration given at the conference. The
demonstration will play a significant role in the judging process.
- Best Evaluation Award: The award is a new addition to INLG 2023. This
award is designed to honour authors who have demonstrated the most
comprehensive and insightful analysis in evaluating their results. This
award aims to highlight papers where the authors have gone the extra
mile in providing a thorough and detailed analysis of their results,
offering a nuanced understanding of their findings.

*MISDOOM 2023 - *5th Multidisciplinary International Symposium on
Disinformation in Open Online Media
The Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open
Online Media (MISDOOM) is returning for its 5th edition on 21 and 22
November 2023, hosted by the National Research Center for Mathematics and
Computer Science (CWI), Amsterdam, Netherlands.
MISDOOM values multidisciplinary research and is designed to be inclusive
of different academic disciplines and practices. The symposium provides a
platform for researchers, industry professionals, and practitioners from
various disciplines such as communication science, computer science,
computational social science, political science, psychology, journalism,
and media studies to come together and share their knowledge and insights
on online disinformation.
Symposium Topics
Participants can discuss and contribute to the following list of topics:
-
Cross-platform campaigns and their impact (e.g., diffusion of
disinformation and manipulation, observations of campaigns and strategies,
communication strategies, hate speech)
-
Approaches to studying misinformation (e.g., qualitative approaches,
case studies, quantitative approaches, experiments)
-
User involvement with misinformation on various platforms (e.g.,
engagement, viewership)
-
Counter-measures for mis- and disinformation and manipulation (e.g.,
censorship policies, behavioral changes, education, trainings, professional
codices, legal actions)
-
Factors contributing to misinformation beliefs or hampering corrections
of false beliefs (e.g., political polarization, motivated reasoning,
confirmation bias)
-
Trending topics in mis- and disinformation research
-
Automated fact-checking and misinformation detection
-
Models for misinformation diffusion
-
Human computation approaches for misinformation detection
(crowdsourcing, human-machine interaction)
-
Information quality (information quality dimensions, metrics, ethics of
information quality)
-
Generative AI tools and disinformation (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney,
DALL-E)
Industry
Industries are also invited to participate in the conference by submitting
a contribution describing their approach to countering or detecting
misinformation.
Submission Instructions
Given that we welcome both social scientists and computer scientists, and
that the publication strategies of these fields differ, we solicit two
types of contributions that, upon acceptance, result in the same
opportunity to present at MISDOOM:
Full papers
Full papers to be published with Springer LNCS proceedings. Up to 15 pages
(including references) in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
format describing original unpublished and new research. The work should be
structured like a research paper, and cover the context of the problem
studied, the research question, approach/methodology, and results in 6 to
15 pages. It should be formatted according to the LNCS Word or LaTeX
template. Such submissions will be judged based on scientific quality and
relevance for the MISDOOM symposium.
Extended Abstracts
Authors can also choose to submit an Extended Abstract. The extended
abstract should not exceed 500 words, excluding references, and can pertain
to previously published work, ongoing projects, or new research ideas.
There is no particular format for the extended abstract, but it must
include the title, authors, their affiliation, the text of the abstract,
and references, particularly if it involves previously published work.
Submissions are not archival and are not formally published. Additionally,
authors must submit a conference program abstract of no more than 150
words. Authors should add the suffix "(Extended Abstract)" to the title of
their extended abstract submission.
Important Note about Submissions
Both contribution types (full papers and extended abstracts) must specify
the discipline they are contributing to as keyword(s) in Easychair at the
time of submission (they should enter at least one of the two keywords
“computer science” or “social science” in the keyword box).
