The Interspeech 2025 satellite workshops committee calls for proposals for satellite workshops. The aim of these satellite workshops is to stimulate discussion in research areas related to speech and language. Advertising your workshop as an Interspeech 2025 satellite event greatly increases the visibility of your workshop. Please note that all Interspeech 2025 satellite workshops need to obtain ISCA endorsement. This is a novel Interspeech requirement. ISCA endorsement may entail financial and/or practical help in organizing your workshop. For details, please see the guidelines for ISCA endorsement here. In order to obtain ISCA endorsement, proposals for Interspeech 2025 satellite workshops should first be submitted to the ISCA workshop portal. This ISCA endorsement procedure takes about two weeks. Once ISCA endorsement has been granted, proposals for Interspeech 2025 satellite workshops should be submitted to the Interspeech satellite workshop committee at satelliteevents(a)interspeech2025.org. For more information about organizing a satellite workshop, please contact the satellite workshop chairs at satelliteevents(a)interspeech2025.org. Interspeech 2025 satellite workshop proposal criteria We invite workshop proposals that meet the general criteria below: • Workshops should take place around the same time as Interspeech 2025. Interspeech 2025 takes place from 17 to 21 August. On Sunday 17 August several tutorials are planned. Applicants who wish to organize a satellite event are therefore discouraged to organize the event on Sunday 17 August, so as to avoid thematic overlap with any Interspeech tutorial planned for that day. • Workshops should take place within reasonable travel distance from Rotterdam, the Netherlands In addition, proposals need to meet the ISCA criteria below: • topic should be in the ISCA scope • organizing committees as well as invited speakers have to be international and diverse • organizing committee has to (ideally) cover more than one university • keynote speaker(s) has to be someone relevant for her/his domain Roadmap 1.

Final CFP: Building and Using Comparable Corpora Workshop
by s.sharoff＠leeds.ac.uk 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

Note the paper submission deadline: 30 November, 2024 Workshop website: https://comparable.lisn.upsaclay.fr/bucc2025/ COLING website: https://coling2025.org/ Keynote speaker: Preslav Nakov, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, Abu Dhabi ************************************************************** * Motivation In the language engineering and linguistics communities, research in comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language engineering, on the one hand, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications such as statistical and neural machine translation or cross-lingual retrieval. In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest because they enable cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that comparable corpora consist of documents that are comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions across several languages. Parallel corpora are on the one end of this spectrum, and unrelated corpora are on the other. In recent years, the use of comparable corpora for pre-training Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to their impressive multilingual and cross-lingual abilities, which are relevant to a range of applications, including Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, Cross-lingual text classification, etc. The linguistic definitions and observations related to comparable corpora can improve methods to mine such corpora or to improve cross-lingual transfer of LLMs. Therefore, it is of great interest to bring together builders and users of such corpora. * Shared Task This year we will run a shared task aimed at detecting translations of terms via comparable corpora. Please see the website for details: https://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2025/bucc2025-task.html * Topics We solicit contributions on all topics related to comparable (and parallel) corpora, including but not limited to the following: Building Comparable Corpora: - Automatic and semi-automatic methods - Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the web - Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora - Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora - Rare and minority languages, across language families - Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora Applications of comparable corpora: - Human translation - Language learning - Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization - Bilingual and multilingual projections - (Unsupervised) Machine translation - Writing assistance - Machine learning techniques using comparable corpora Mining from Comparable Corpora: - Cross-language distributional semantics, word embeddings and pre-trained multilingual transformer models - Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable corpora - Methods to derive parallel from non-parallel corpora (e.g. to provide for low-resource languages in neural machine translation) - Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single words, multi-word expressions, proper names, named entities, sentences, and paraphrases from comparable corpora, etc. - Induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from comparable corpora - Induction of multilingual word classes from comparable corpora Comparable Corpora in the Humanities: - Comparing linguistic phenomena across languages in contrastive linguistics - Analyzing properties of translated language in translation studies - Studying language change over time in diachronic linguistics - Assigning texts to authors via authors' corpora in forensic linguistics - Comparing rhetorical features in discourse analysis - Studying cultural differences in sociolinguistics - Analyzing language universals in typological research * Workshop Organizers - Serge Sharoff (University of Leeds) - Ayla Rigouts Terryn (Université de Montréal (UdeM), Mila) - Pierre Zweigenbaum (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LISN, Orsay) - Reinhard Rapp (University of Mainz, Germany) * Program Committee - Ebrahim Ansari (Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, Iran) - Eleftherios Avramidis (DFKI, Germany) - Gabriel Bernier-Colborne (National Research Council, Canada) - Thierry Etchegoyhen (Vicomtech, Spain) - Alex Fraser (University of Munich, Germany) - Natalia Grabar (University of Lille, France) - Amal Haddad Haddad (Universidad de Granada, Spain) - Amir Hazem (University of Tokyo, Japan) - Kyo Kageura (University of Tokyo, Japan) - Natalie Kübler (Université Paris Cité, France) - Philippe Langlais (Université de Montréal, Canada) - Yves Lepage (Waseda University, Japan). - Shervin Malmasi (Amazon, USA) - Michael Mohler (Language Computer Corporation, USA) - Emmanuel Morin (Nantes Université, France) - Dragos Stefan Munteanu (RWS, USA) - Ted Pedersen (University of Minnesota, Duluth, USA) - Nasredine Semmar (CEA LIST, Paris, France) - Silvia Severini (Leonardo Labs, Italy) - Pranaydeep Singh (University of Gent, Belgium) - Richard Sproat (Google, USA) - Marko Tadić (University of Zagreb, Croatia) - François Yvon (Sorbonne Université, France)

CfP: Workshop on Context and Meaning—Navigating Disagreements in NLP Annotations
by Michael Roth 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

******************************************************************************** CoMeDiNLP: Context and Meaning--Navigating Disagreements in NLP Annotations https://unimplicit.github.io/ Workshop held in conjunction with COLING 2025 January 19/20, 2025 ******************************************************************************** Disagreements among annotators pose a significant challenge in Natural Language Processing, impacting the quality and reliability of datasets and consequently the performance of NLP models. This workshop aims to explore the complexities of annotation disagreements, their causes, and strategies towards their effective resolution, with a focus on meaning in context. The quality and reliability of annotated data is crucial for the development of robust NLP models. However, managing disagreements among annotators poses significant challenges to researchers and practitioners. Such disagreements can stem from various factors, including subjective interpretations, cultural biases and ambiguous guidelines. Early research has highlighted the impact of annotator disagreements on data quality and model performance (e.g. Artstein and Poesio, 2008; Pustejovsky and Stubbs, 2012; Plank et al., 2014). More recent work on perspectivism in NLP, such as that by Basile et al. (2021), highlights the importance of embracing multiple perspectives in annotation tasks to better capture the diversity of human language. This approach argues for the inclusion of various viewpoints to improve the robustness and fairness of NLP models. On the modeling side, various methods for dealing with annotation disagreements have been proposed. For example, Hovy et al. (2013) and Passonneau and Carpenter (2014) identify and weigh annotator reliability to better aggregate contributions, whereas recent approaches following the perspectivism approach leverage inherent disagreements in subjective tasks to train models handling diverse opinions (Davani et al., 2022; Deng et al., 2023). == Call for Submissions == We invite both long (8 pages) and short (4 page) papers. The limits refer to the content and any number of additional pages for references are allowed. The papers should follow the COLING 2025 formatting instructions. Each submission must be anonymized, written in English, and contain a title and abstract. We especially welcome papers that address the following themes, for a single type of disagreement or annotation disagreements in general: - New benchmarks for detecting or categorizing disagreements - Models and modeling strategies for variations in annotation - Evaluation schemes and metrics for phenomena without a single ground truth - Phenomena that are not yet within reach with current NLP technology. To encourage discussion and community building and to bootstrap potential collaborations, we elicit, in addition to shared task papers and regular "archival" track papers, also non-archival submissions. These can take 2 forms: - Works in progress, that are not yet mature enough for a full submission, can be submitted in the form of a title and abstract. Abstracts may be up to two pages in length. - Already published work, or work currently under submission elsewhere, can be submitted in the form of an abstract and a copy of the submission/publication. These works will be reviewed for topical fit and accepted submissions will be presented as posters. Depending on the final workshop program, selected works may be presented in panels. We plan for these to be an opportunity for researchers to present and discuss their work with the relevant community.
