Continuing the tradition of the first edition of the NeTTT conference and HiT-IT events series, the objective of the conference is (i) to bridge the gap between academia and industry in the field of translation and interpreting by bringing together academics in linguistics, translation studies, machine translation and natural language processing, developers, practitioners, language service providers and vendors who work on or are interested in different aspects of technology for translation and interpreting, and (ii) to be a distinctive event for discussing the latest developments and practices. NeTTT’2024 invites all professionals who would like to learn about the new trends, present the latest work or/and share their experience in the field, and who would like to establish business and research contacts, collaborations and new ventures. The conference will take the form of presentations (peer-reviewed research and user presentations, keynote speeches), and posters; it will also feature panel discussions. The accepted papers will be published as open-access conference e-proceedings. # Conference topics Contributions are invited on any topic related to latest technology and practices in machine translation, translation, subtitling, localisation and interpreting.

Call for Participants: LongEval: Longitudinal Evaluation of Model Performance CLEF 2024 Lab
by hsuvas＠gmail.com 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

Call for Participants LongEval: Longitudinal Evaluation of Model Performance CLEF 2024 Lab 9-12 September, Grenoble, France -------------------------------------------------------- ** Registration open, training data available ** The CLEF 2024 LongEval lab is motivated by recent research showing that the performance of information retrieval and text classification models drops as the test data becomes more distant in time from the training data. LongEval differs from traditional IR and classification shared tasks with special considerations on evaluating models that mitigate performance drop over time. It encourages participants to develop temporal information retrieval systems and longitudinal text classifiers that survive through dynamic temporal text changes, introducing time as a new dimension for ranking models performance. The lab consists of two tasks: * Task 1. LongEval-Retrieval: The goal of Task 1 is to propose an information retrieval system which can handle changes over the time. The proposed retrieval system should follow the temporal timewise evolution of Web documents. Contact: longeval-ir-task(a)univ-grenoble-alpes.fr * Task 2. LongEval-Classification: The goal of Task 2 is to propose a temporal persistence classifier which can mitigate performance drop over short and long periods of time compared to a test set from the same time frame as training. Contact: r.a.a.alkhalifa(a)qmul.ac.uk Registration ------------ Please use the CLEF registration form (https://clef2024-labs-registration.dei.unipd.it/ ) to register for the tasks. The registration closes on Monday, 22 April 2024. Timeline -------- April 2024: Test data release 22 April 2024: Registration closes 6 May 2024: End of Evaluation Cycle [submission of runs] 31 May 2024: Submission of Participant Papers [CEUR-WS] 31 May–21 June 2024: Review process of participant papers July 2024: Camera ready paper submission September 2024: CLEF Conference Organisers ---------- Rabab Alkhalifa, Hsuvas Borkakoty, Romain Deveaud, Alaa El-Ebshihy, Luis Espinosa-Anke, Gabriela Gonzalez-Saez, Petra Galuščáková, Lorraine Goeuriot, Maria Liakata, Harish Tayyar Madabushi, Philippe Mulhem, Florina Piroi, Martin Popel, Christophe Servan, Arkaitz Zubiaga.

DIMEMEX@IberLEF2024: Call for participation

Apologies for cross-postings ------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION DIMEMEX@IberLEF2024: Detection of Inappropriate Memes from Mexico URL: https://sites.google.com/inaoe.mx/dimemex-2024/ *** NEWS *** We are pleased to inform you that the CodaLab site for accessing the details of the DIMEMEX tasks is available at: DIMEMEX@IberLEF 2024: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/18118 This platform serves as the central repository of information regarding the DIMEMEX-2024 initiative. We encourage you to visit the site to explore relevant materials, including task descriptions, datasets, evaluation metrics, terms & conditions, submission guidelines, results, and others. *** Task description *** Social networks are increasingly playing crucial roles in people’s lives, transforming the dynamics of communication and information sharing. Analyzing the content originated on these platforms has become a hot research topic for the computational linguistics community. However, despite the notable advances made in recent years, there are still open challenges that merit additional research for better treatment or deeper understanding. One such challenge is the detection of abusive content, which includes aspects like hate speech, aggression, offensive language, and other related phenomena. Given the multimodal nature of social media platforms, we aim to promote the research and development of multimodal computational models for the detection of abusive content in Mexican Spanish, particularly hate, offensive, and vulgar memes. Memes are defined as the conjunction of a text and an image which often provide a joint meaning. This meaning is predominantly humorous or ironic, and the absence of either text or image may alter its interpretation. Accordingly, combining information from both modalities to identify a meme as abusive represents an exciting and challenging problem. DIMEMEX comprises two subtasks: a) A three-way classification: hate speech, inappropriate content, and neither. b) A finer-grained classification distinguishing instances containing hate speech into different categories such as classism, sexism, racism, and others. Stay tuned! - register to the associated mailing list: https://sites.google.com/inaoe.mx/dimemex-2024/registration *** Important dates *** March 15th - Release of training corpora. May 10th - Release of test corpora and start of evaluation campaign. May 21th - End of evaluation campaign (deadline for submission of runs). May 24th - Publication of official results. Jun 7th - Deadline for paper submission. Jun 21th - Acceptance notification. Jun 28th - Camera ready submission deadline. September - TBD Publication of proceedings.

Placing excessive emphasis on individual gains, a common practice in individualistic societies for many years, has hindered the ability to grasp the complex dynamics and forward-thinking mindset essential for the sustainability of a contemporary society. The evolving landscape of technology and the ongoing digital advancements have paved the way for creative applications in the field of education, allowing us to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances. When shaping a new approach for Information Systems and Information Technology education, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of individuals as key stakeholders and integral members of the wider community, while also recognizing the pivotal role of collaboration. In this track, we are searching for papers employing innovative technology and approaches to educate the future generation towards world equality, collegiality, inclusion and a more cooperative learning for a sustainable digital future. Values which are emphasized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which overall aim towards creating a more equitable, sustainable, and peaceful world. This track is particularly relevant to IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future. TOPICS Potential topics for papers include (but are not limited to): • Sustainable and innovative education technologies and practices • Universal access to quality education • The new role for IS/IT in society and education and the value of information and knowledge • The role of cooperative learning for life-long learning and societal developments • Digital transformation: opportunities and challenges for education, work, and society • Digital learning environments: Innovations and trends • Equality, diversity, and inclusion in education, work, and society • The use of large language models and generative AI in education • New topics and domains in IT-enhanced education We hope to attract the interest of IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Please refer to the instructions on the conference web site: https://blogs.uni-bremen.de/goodit2024/submission-of-papers/ . All accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library .
