Dear all, Please consider submitting your work to BIONLP 2023 and Shared Tasks @ ACL 2023 aclweb.org/aclwiki/BioNLP_Workshop Important dates: April 24, 2023: Workshop Paper Due Date. Submission site: softconf.com/acl2023/BioNLP2023 May 29, 20232: Notification of Acceptance June 6, 2023: Camera-ready papers due June 12, 2023: Pre-recorded video due BioNLP 2023 Workshop at ACL, July 13, 2023, Toronto, Cana WORKSHOP OVERVIEW AND SCOPE The BioNLP workshop associated with the ACL SIGBIOMED special interest group has established itself as the primary venue for presenting foundational research in language processing for the biological and medical domains. The workshop is running every year since 2002 and continues getting stronger. BioNLP welcomes and encourages work on languages other than English, and inclusion and diversity. BioNLP truly encompasses the breadth of the domain and brings together researchers in bio- and clinical NLP from all over the world. The workshop will continue presenting work on a broad and interesting range of topics in NLP. The interest to biomedical language has broadened significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to grow: as access to information becomes easier and more people generate and access health-related text, it becomes clearer that only language technologies can enable and support adequate use of the biomedical text. BioNLP 2023 will be particularly interested in language processing that supports DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility). The work on detection and mitigation of bias and misinformation continues to be of interest. Research in languages other than English, particularly, under-represented languages, and health disparities are always of interest to BioNLP. Other active areas of research include, but are not limited to: Tangible results of biomedical language processing applications; Entity identification and normalization (linking) for a broad range of semantic categories; Extraction of complex relations and events; Discourse analysis; Anaphora/coreference resolution; Text mining / Literature based discovery; Summarization; Τext simplification; Question Answering; Resources and strategies for system testing and evaluation; Infrastructures and pre-trained language models for biomedical NLP (Processing and annotation platforms); Development of synthetic data & data augmentation; Translating NLP research into practice; Getting reproducible results.

11 PhD Positions in NLP to combat desinformation and abusive language - MSCA Doctoral Network HYBRIDS
by Pablo Gamallo 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

* 11 PhD Positions in NLP to combat desinformation and abusive language - MSCA Doctoral Network HYBRIDS Join call: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/78878 Web: https://hybridsproject.eu/phd-projects/ The main scientific objective of HYBRIDS is to provide researchers with the knowledge necessary to design strategies and tools to respond to disinformation on the basis of a deep analysis of public discourse. There have been interesting advances in the automatic detection of disinformation by making use of natural language processing and new artificial intelligence techniques in the specific field of machine and deep learning. However, this is a very complex task that requires a high degree of natural language understanding, inference and reasoning. To improve the strategies to deal with disinformation and abusive language, HYBRIDS will integrate the structured knowledge provided by social and human sciences into natural language processing tools and deep learning algorithms, so as to develop new hybrid intelligence systems. The concept of Hybrid Intelligence consists of combining machine and human intelligence to overcome the shortcomings of existing artificial intelligence methods. The HYBRIDS Consortium is coordinated by the University of Santiago de Compostela and involves the following partner universities, research centres, non-profit organisations, and companies: University of Caen (UCAEN, France), University of Coruña (UDC, Spain), University of Evora (UEVORA, Portugal), Radboud University (RU, the Netherlands), Queen Mary University of London (QMUL, UK), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC, Spain), Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK, Italy), Gesis Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences (GESIS, Germany), Fondazione Openpolis ETS (OPENPOLIS, Italy), Fundación Universidad Empresa Gallega (FUEGA, Spain), Factoria de software e multimedia S.L. (IMAXIN, Spain), Industrieanlagen Betriebsgesellschaft MBH (IABG, Germany), and Newtral Media Audiovisual SL (NEWTRAL, Spain). The 11 doctoral candidates will be contracted by one of the partner institutions through which they will be enrolled in a doctoral programme. Each candidate will participate in secondments with other academic and non-academic partners and will be involved in network-wide training activities. ~

Final call for papers: Explainable AI in Natural Language Processing
by Somnath Banerjee 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, *** Apologies for cross-posting *** Call for papers: Explainable AI in Natural Language Processing Traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) models (e.g., decision trees, Markov models, etc.) have primarily been based on techniques that are inherently interpretable models, referred to as white-box techniques. However, in recent years, NLP models have employed advanced neural approaches along with language embedding features. Using these advanced approaches, mostly referred to as black-box techniques, the NLP models have yielded state-of-art performance. Nonetheless, the level of interpretability (e.g., how the model arrives at its results) has reduced significantly. This obfuscated interpretability not only lowers the end users’ trust in the NLP models but also makes it challenging for the developers to debug or improve by analyzing the models for further improvement. Therefore, nowadays, researchers in the NLP community are giving significant attention to the emerging field called Explainable AI (XAI) to tackle the obfuscated complexity of AI systems for trust and improvement. Apart from academia, organizations and companies also have launched high-funding projects such as DARPA XAI, People +AI Research (PAIR), etc. As XAI is still a growing field, there is plenty of room for innovation to improve the explainability of NLP systems. In recent works, explainable NLP models have captured linguistic knowledge of neural networks, explain predictions, stress-test models via challenge sets or adversarial examples, and interpret language embeddings. The goal of this Research Topic is to better understand the present status of the XAI in NLP by identifying: new dimensions for a better explanation, evaluation techniques used to measure the quality of explanations, approaches or developments of new software toolkits to explain XAI in NLP, and transparent deep learning models for different NLP task. The scope of this Research Topic covers (but is not restricted to) the following topics: • Survey of XAI in NLP in general or any particular NLP task such as NER, QA, Sentiment analysis, social media (SocialNLP), etc. • Explainable Neural models in Machine Translation • Explainable Neural models in Named Entity Recognition • Explainable Neural models in Question Answering • Explainable Neural models in Sentiment Analysis • Explainable Neural models in Opinion Mining • Explainable Neural models in SocialNLP • Evaluation techniques used to measure the quality of explanations • Tools for explaining explainability • Resources related to XAI in the context of NLP The Research Topic welcomes contributions toward interpretable models for efficient solutions to NLP research problems that explain the explainability of the proposed model using suitable explainability technique(s) (e.g., example-driven, provenance, feature importance, induction, surrogate models, etc.), visualization technique(s) (e.g., raw examples, saliency, raw declarative, etc.), and other aspects. Software toolkits or approaches that can help users express explainability to their models and ML pipelines are also welcome. The full Call for Papers is available at https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/48440/explainable-ai-in-natural… Impact of the publication: https://www.frontiersin.org/about/impact * Manuscript Deadline: * 19 May 2023, This is a mandatory deadline for your full manuscript submission.
