First call for participation - MentalRiskES@IberLEF2025: Early detection of mental risk
by María Dolores Molina González 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

* Registration open!!* ****We apologize for multiple postings of this e-mail**** MentalRiskES2025 describes the third edition of a novel task on early risk identification of mental disorders in Spanish comments from social media sources. The first and the second editions took place in the IberLEF evaluation forum as part of the SEPLN 2023 and SEPLN 2024. The task was resolved as an online problem, that is, the participants had to detect a potential risk as early as possible in a continuous stream of data. Therefore, the performance not only depended on the accuracy of the systems but also on how fast the problem is detected. These dynamics are reflected in the design of the tasks and the metrics used to evaluate participants. For this third edition, we propose two novel tasks, the first subtask is about the detection of the gambling disorder and the second subtask consists of detecting a type of Addiction. We would like to invite you to participate in the following tasks: 1. Risk Detection of Gambling Disorders (Binary classification) 2. Type of Addiction Detection (Multiclass classification) Find out more at https://sites.google.com/view/mentalriskes2025. MentalRiskES 2025 is part of the IberLEF Workshop and will be held in conjunction with the SEPLN 2025 conference in Zaragoza (Spain). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Feb 14th Registration open* Feb 25th Release of trial corpora (trial server available) Mar 19th Release of training corpora Mar 31st Registration closed Apr 7th Release of test corpora and start of the evaluation campaign (test server available and trial submissions closed) Apr 14th End of evaluation campaign (deadline for submission of runs) Apr 18th Publication of official results and release of test gold labels May 12th Deadline for paper submission May 30th Acceptance notification Jun 16th Camera-ready submission deadline Sep TBD Publication of proceedings Note: All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 Please reach out to the organizers at MentalRiskEs@IberLEF2025.

New publication: Lexical Multidimensional Analysis
by Susan Hunston 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Dear list members, I'm delighted to announce that a new publication in the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics is now available. It is FREE online until 27th February 2025. Title: Lexical Multidimensional Analysis Authors: Tony Berber Sardinha and Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan Lexical Multidimensional Analysis is an extension of Biber's Multidimensional Analysis that identifies dimensions based on patterns of lexical co-occurrence and variation. LMDA has been applied to domains including education policy, national representations, applied linguistics, music, the infodemic, religion, sustainability, and literary style. The Element introduces LMDA, offering insights into how lexis marks discourse formations and ideological alignments. Two case studies demonstrate the application of LMDA: discourses on climate change, and discourse on migrant education.

Call for paper: BriGap-2, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics (an IWCS 2025 workshop)
by Timothée Bernard 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Call for paper: *BriGap-2, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics* (an IWCS 2025 workshop) (with our apologies for cross-posting) Venue: IWCS 2025 (https://iwcs2025.github.io/), Düsseldorf, Germany Date: *September 24th, 2025* (main conference: 22nd-23rd) Workshop website: https://brigap-workshop.github.io/ BriGap-2 is a venue for linguists and NLP scientists to meet: what fruitful interactions can we have? How do we build upon each other’s work? * Description * In recent years, the natural language processing (NLP) community has shifted its focus towards engineering questions. This state of affairs is in no small part due to the recent technical advances that have transformed NLP as a field. In the current large language model (LLM) era, much of what was deemed near impossible to achieve a few years prior is now taken for granted and it stands to reason that mapping how far ahead new computational models have advanced the field has become a central topic for the NLP community. Hence, the current ongoing discourse in NLP focuses more on what can be achieved through language rather than studying language for its own sake. It seems thus that computational and formal linguistics are now separate domains, and that the former is no longer rooted in the latter. To what extent are these traditions truly divorced, and what fruitful bridges can be (re)built? To answer these questions, the second iteration of the workshop on Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics (BriGap-2) intends to provide a space for formal linguists, computational linguists, and NLP scientists to exchange their perspectives on how their different domains of research can build upon one another. * Workshop topics * - investigation of the linguistic properties of machine learning models, - linguistic representations, vector space semantics, and their relations with theoretical concepts such as compositionality, - use of information-theoretical and computational methods for linguistic inquiry, - formal distributional semantics and neural-symbolic integration for NLP, - formal grammars, symbolic structures and their applications for computational linguistics and NLP, - trends in the history of computational linguistics and NLP, - … * Invited speakers * - Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen - Kees VAN DEEMTER, Universiteit Utrecht * Submission details * The workshop accepts both archival (original and unpublished research) and non-archival (work-in-progress, dissemination of research published or accepted elsewhere, etc.) submissions in either short (up to 4 pages) or long (up to 8 pages) format. Camera-ready versions of papers will be given one additional page of content so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. Each submission should mention whether it targets archival or non-archival status. Archival papers accepted at BriGap-2 will be indexed in the ACL Anthology. Please use the ACL style templates available here: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files The submissions need to be done in PDF format via OpenReview, using the following link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Workshop/BriGap-2 * Important dates * - Submission deadline:* Friday, June 6th 2025* - Notification of acceptance: Friday, August 1st 2025 - Workshop: *September 24th, 2025* (main conference: 22nd-23rd) * Contact * For questions, please send an email to brigapworkshop(a)gmail.com or contact one of the workshop chairs: - Timothée Bernard, Université Paris Cité, timothee.bernard(a)u-paris.fr - Timothee Mickus, University of Helsinki, timothee.mickus(a)helsinki.fi - Grégoire Winterstein, Université du Québec à Montréal, winterstein.gregoire(a)uqam.ca
