We invite submissions to the 6th edition of the SIGTYP workshop on
Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP, to
be held at EACL 2024 on March 22, 2024.
Workshop description
The aim of the 6th edition of SIGTYP workshop is to act as a platform
and a forum for the exchange of information between typology-related
research, multilingual NLP, and other research areas that can lead to
the development of truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop is
specifically aimed at raising awareness of linguistic typology and its
potential in supporting and widening the global reach of multilingual
NLP, as well as at introducing computational approaches to linguistic
typology. It will foster research and discussion on open problems, not
only within the active community working on cross- and multilingual NLP
but also inviting input from leading researchers in linguistic typology.
Our workshop will serve as a platform to enable fruitful discussions. In
2024, we additionally focus on bridging the gap between cross-linguistic
and universal annotation, models, and technology.
SIGTYP is the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and
its integration in multilingual NLP. Appropriate topics include (but are
not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop:
*
Integration of typological features in language transfer and joint
multilingual learning. In addition to established techniques such as
“selective sharing”, are there alternative ways to encoding
heterogeneous external knowledge in machine learning algorithms?
*
Development of unified taxonomy and resources. Building universal
databases and models to facilitate understanding and processing of
diverse languages.
*
Automatic inference of typological features. The pros and cons of
existing techniques (e.g. heuristics derived from morphosyntactic
annotation, propagation from features of other languages, supervised
Bayesian and neural models) and discussion on emerging ones.
*
Typology and interpretability. The use of typological knowledge for
interpretation of hidden representations of multilingual neural
models, multilingual data generation and selection, and typological
annotation of texts.
*
Improvement and completion of typological databases. Combining
linguistic knowledge and automatic data-driven methods towards the
joint goal of improving the knowledge on cross-linguistic variation
and universals.
*
Linguistic diversity and universals. Challenges of cross-lingual
annotation. Which linguistic phenomena or categories should be
considered universal? How should they be annotated?
*
Language-specific studies to support or contradict universals.
Framing a study on 1-3 languages that would shed more light on common
linguistic structures and properties.
*
Extra topics also include: generation of constructed languages,
universals in diachronic languages changes, information-theoretic
approaches to typology, automated approaches to etymology.

This workshop will focus on developing parsers for Uniform Meaning Representations. The goal is to start from raw text from real-world settings that could be in any one of many typologically different languages, even low-resource languages for which there is little or no training data. This can be achieved by exploiting a common semantic annotation standard. This workshop has been made possible by funding for NSF Collaborative Research: Building a Broad Infrastructure for Uniform Meaning Representations (Award # 2213805), which is aimed at developing guidelines and annotation for cross-lingual Uniform Meaning Representations, based on the original Abstract Meaning Representation guidelines for English, but ensuring cross-linguistically consistent annotation and recoverability of the original raw texts.
This workshop will overlap with the last day of the Colorado UMR Annotation Summer School. https://umr4nlp.github.io/web/SummerSchool.html
The workshop is open to everyone and will cover the fundamentals of UMR annotation and the differences between AMR and UMR. In addition to an invited speaker, there will be presentations on recent successful approaches to AMR parsing and how they can be applied to UMR parsing. We welcome submissions from anyone on related topics, such as:
● AMR or UMR parsing for any language
● AMR or UMR generation for any language
● Evaluation metrics for AMR or UMR parsing
● Bootstrapping of AMRs or UMRs from related semantic representations such as Propbanks
● Projections of English AMR onto other languages;
● Challenges of applying AMR annotation to languages other than English;
● Challenges of accurate multi-sentence coreference as a subtask of AMR parsing;
● Any other topic related to the parsing and generation of AMRs or UMRs.
Important dates
● Workshop paper submissions due: March 30, 2024
● Notification of acceptance: April 25, 2024
● Camera-ready versions due: May 30, 2024

- definition of the discourse marker category;
- lexicons of discourse markers;
- discourse markers and their relation to other pragmatic categories;
- syntax-prosody-discourse interface;
- sociolinguistic approaches to discourse markers;
- variation of discourse markers across registers, languages and language varieties;
- translation studies;
- L1 and L2 acquisition of discourse markers;
- diachronic studies;
- experimental studies;
- corpus-based and computational studies;
- applied studies (business language, legal discourse, educational settings, etc.).
*Submissions*
The Conference will be on-site. Two presentation modalities will be possible: oral presentation and poster presentation.
Abstracts should not exceed one page (single spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, not including figures and references, and must be uploaded as pdf). Abstracts can be written in any Romance language or in English.
They should be anonymous.

BioLaySumm 2024
The 2nd Shared Task on the Lay Summarization of Biomedical Research
Articles @BioNLP Workshop, ACL 2024
Biomedical publications contain the latest research on prominent
health-related topics, ranging from common illnesses to global pandemics.
This can often result in their content being of interest to a wide variety
of audiences including researchers, medical professionals, journalists, and
even members of the public. However, the highly technical and specialist
language used within such articles typically makes it difficult for
non-expert audiences to understand their contents. The BioLaySumm shared
task surrounds the abstractive summarization of biomedical articles, with
an emphasis on catering to non-expert audiences through the generation of
summaries that are more readable, containing more background information
and less technical terminology (i.e., a “lay summary”).
This is the 2nd iteration of BioLaySumm, following the success of the 1st
edition of the task at BioNLP 2023 which attracted 56 submissions across 20
different teams. In this edition, which is again to be hosted by the BioNLP
workshop <https://aclweb.org/aclwiki/BioNLP_Workshop> at ACL 2024, we aim
to build on last year’s task by introducing a new test set, updating our
evaluation protocol, and encouraging participants to explore novel
approaches that will help to further advance the state-of-the-art for Lay
Summarization. Accordingly, we will not only be offering a prize of £100 to
the team with the top-ranking submission, but we will also offer a second
prize of £50 to the team that proposes the most innovative approach (as
decided upon by the task organizers).

Dear colleagues,
we are happy to announce the 7th edition of the Translation in Transition conference (https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024). This series of conferences has established itself as a central meeting point for researchers in the field of empirical translation studies through previous editions in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent, Barcelona, Kent and Prague. In its 7th edition held at the Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi it once again wants to be a forum of discussion for empirical research that is based on any kind of empirical methodology and that advances our knowledge in the fields of translation and interpreting. While the Batumi edition will be open to various topics within empirical translation studies, we also want to put special emphasis on two directions: low-resourced and less-researched language pairs, as well as an interplay between different methods and data types, e.g. combining product and process research.
*Final Call for Papers*
We invite original submissions that deal with any of the conference topics. To encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas and experience among the researchers of various fields of specialization, preference will be given to interdisciplinary contributions that cover two or more of the conference topics.
The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts that should be between 800 and 1000 words long (excluding references) by February 16, 2024. Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be submitted through the open review system (https://openreview.net/group?id=TT/2024/Conference) and reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be presented either as oral talks or as posters. All submissions must follow the abstract submission instructions (https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024/submission-instructions).
We welcome contributions (in English) grounded in empirical approaches to studying both interlingual and intralingual translation, as well as theoretical and position papers on the following topics:
* Empirical methods and models (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) or methods derived from computational linguistics and data mining (e.g. computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to translation studies * Presentation of new resources for translation studies (spoken corpora, multimodal corpora, interpreting transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages, lexicons, databases, etc.) * Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and methods and other sources of data * Detection and analysis of specific features of translation (translationese, interpretese, editese, machine translationese, post-editese, etc.) using parallel and comparable corpora * Analysis and interpretation of variation in translation, e.g. variation driven through register/genre, expertise, mode, etc. * Empirical analysis of specialised translation, e.g. legal translation, technical translation and others * Analysis of non-canonical forms of translation/interpreting and multilingual communication * Cognitive and computational insights of variation in translation and translationese * Cognitive modeling of translation processes, including cognitive load measurements * Translation quality assessment and evaluation using corpora or experimental research * Translation in specific settings: between close languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc. * The use of corpora in translator and/or interpreter training * Improving understanding of translation in the context of NLP * Computer-assisted translation and/or interpreting (CAT/CAI) * Machine translation (MT): analysis, evaluation, selection and preparation of data for MT, ‘machine translationese’Important dates

===================================================================================================================================================
Langues et langage à la croisée des disciplines (LLcD) is a new research network, supported by the French CNRS. It organizes an international conference in France aiming to advance the scientific understanding of human language and linguistic systems, as well as to foster new collaborations and cross-fertilization among different research areas and approaches.
The LLcD Meeting, slated to occur annually, will change its location and its thematic focus every year. It will be organized around a conference, as well as a panel discussion and a summer school, both within the theme promoted that year. The LLcD conference will feature plenary lectures delivered by invited keynote speakers, a general session and thematic workshops.
The first edition of the conference is scheduled to take place at Sorbonne University, Paris, from September 9th to September 11th, 2024 . Its main theme will be: Languages, variations, changes: synchronic, diachronic, typological and comparative approaches.The languages of the conference will be English and French.
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
At this stage, we invite workshop proposals on all sub-fields of linguistics, languages, approaches (descriptive, theoretical, empirical, interdisciplinary, etc.), in order to promote diversity across disciplines and methodologies. The proposals are not required to address the main theme of the conference. Each workshop will be organized in 30-minute slots for talks (20 min. presentation, 5 min. discussion, 5 min. room change). The languages of the conference will be English and French. Please note that this call is only for workshop proposals, and separate calls will be issued for the general session and for the summer school.
WORKSHOP PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
Workshop proposals will be formatted both as a docx and pdf document, containing the following information:
- Workshop title and five keywords.
- Convenors’ names, affiliations and emails.
- Workshop description summarizing the main topic, research questions and objectives, including references (between 500 and 1000 words excluding references). The workshop description may additionally include a provisional collection of short abstracts (around 300 words) from foreseen speakers. The names of tentative keynote speakers may also be submitted (note however that LLcD will not be able to cover the associated expenses).
Submission Deadlines and Details
Workshop proposals should be submitted no later than January 30th, 2024 . They will be reviewed by the scientific committee of LLcD and their inclusion in the conference program will be decided with the conference co-chairs.
Notification of acceptance/rejection of the proposal will be communicated by March 1st, 2024. The list of accepted workshop proposals will be published on the conference webpage ( [ http://llcd2024.sciencesconf.org/ | http://llcd2024.sciencesconf.org ] ), and a call for papers will then be issued by the organizers. Individual submissions should be made through EasyChair, and will undergo evaluation by three referees from the LLcD scientific committee, possibly with additional support from external experts suggested by the workshop convenor(s).

=== Theme Track: Open science, open data, and open models for
reproducible NLP research ===
Following the success of the ACL 2020-2023 Theme tracks, we are happy
to announce that ACL 2024 will have a new theme with the goal of
reflecting and stimulating discussion about open science and
reproducible NLP research, as well as supporting the open source
software movement. We encourage contributions related to the release
of high quality datasets, novel ideas for evaluation, non-trivial
algorithm and toolbox implementations, and models which are properly
documented (e.g. via model cards). We believe this topic is very
timely and addresses a growing concern from NLP researchers. The
advent of large language models as a general purpose tool for NLP,
often served as closed APIs, without public information about training
data and model size, perhaps even containing test data, makes it very
hard to reproduce prior work and compare fairly and rigorously with
newly developed models and techniques. This brings the serious risk of
hindering progress in the field. With this theme track we seek a
discussion on increased transparency in the field by promoting the use
of open models and open-source initiatives in NLP as an alternative to
closed approaches.
The theme track invites empirical and theoretical research,
descriptions and release of high quality open datasets, open models,
and open source software implementations, as well position and survey
papers reflecting on the ways in which open data, open models, and
open-source initiative can contribute to advances in the field. The
possible topics of discussion include (but are not limited to) the
following:
* What are the advantages (and risks, if any) of making available
open-source software, open datasets and models to the research
community? What are the risks (scientific and societal) of not making
them available?
* What kind of incentive mechanisms should be in place to encourage
the creation by the research community of open, high-quality datasets
and models and their adoption in experimental workflows?
* What elements of open releases (e.g. documentation, cards,
licensing, testing) are essential or should be highly recommended in
order to be scientifically useful and adopted by the community?
The theme track submissions can be either long or short.

Call for Papers
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Natural Language Processing,
visualization plays a pivotal role in aiding researchers and practitioners
alike. The surge in the sophistication and complexity of NLP models, driven
by advancements in machine learning and deep learning, has created a
pressing need for effective visualization tools and techniques. These tools
are essential for gaining insights into the behavior of NLP models,
comparing their performance, and addressing issues related to debugging,
diagnostics, and evaluation. In this context, the importance of
visualization for developing NLP tasks cannot be overstated.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Visual exploration of corpora, datasets, and model outputs
- Visual analytics tools for debugging diagnosing NLP models
- Performance Troubleshooting and comparison
- Visual analytics tools for quantitative or qualitative evaluation of
NLP models
- Text annotation tools
