First Call for papers - DeriMo 2023
The Fourth International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology - DeriMo 2023
Dubrovnik, Croatia
5-6 October 2023
Website: https://derimo.ffzg.unizg.hr/
The Fourth International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on October 05 and 06, 2023, at the Centre for Advanced Academic Studies (CAAS), Dubrovnik, Croatia. The 2023 edition of the workshop will continue the discussion on …
[View More]language resources and tools for derivational morphology (and, more generally, on word formation) started in DeriMo 2017 (Milan, Italy) and continued in DeriMo 2019 (Prague, Czech Republic) and DeriMo 2021 (Nancy, France).
DeriMo 2023 will provide an international platform for the presentation of new developments in existing word-formation resources and for the introduction of recently created ones. A debate is expected on all aspects of the creation of these resources, from technical solutions to linguistic decisions on which word-formation processes and how they are modeled in the resource. DeriMo 2023 wants to cover modern as well as ancient languages and welcomes approaches with a potentially multi-lingual focus. The availability of appropriate tools is considered essential not only for resource development but also for the potential use of word-formation data in both Natural Language Processing and linguistic descriptions. Another goal of DeriMo 2023 is to bring the state-of-the-art approaches to modelling word-formation closer to current linguistic accounts of word formation. Presentations of any type of linguistic research into word formation are expected to contribute to a discussion on usage and usability of available resources and tools. Linguistic insights into the phenomena that are modelled in the word-formation resources may indicate directions of future research, whether with language-specific, cross-lingual, multi-lingual, or typological perspectives.
Conference topics
DeriMo 2023 aims to cover a wide range of topics. Submissions are invited for presentations featuring high-quality, previously unpublished research, both completed and ongoing, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. In particular, the topics to be addressed in the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:
- language resources for word-formation either of individual languages, or with a multi-lingual focus,
- representation of word-formation processes in the resources (models based on base-derivative pairs, paradigmatic models, or other representations),
- enhancement of word-formation resources with other features (e.g. semantic categories in affixation, classification of compounds),
- linking word-formation resources with other types of annotation (e.g. syntactic, semantic),
- application of (semi-)automatic methods in modelling word formation,
- tools for creating, searching etc. of word-formation resources,
- data-based linguistic research in any aspect of word-formation (of individual languages, with contrastive or comparative focus, diachronic perspectives etc.),
- theoretical accounts of word-formation issues.
Invited Speaker
Stela Manova (University of Vienna, Austria)
Submissions
We invite you to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research related to the topics of the workshop. Abstracts should not exceed 5 pages (references included).
The language of the workshop is English. All abstracts must be submitted in well-checked English.
Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format only. Submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page of the workshop at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=derimo2023.
Deadline for long abstract submission: 12 June 2023

Dear colleagues,
This year, FinNLP-2023 will be in conjunction with IJCAI-2023 from
19th-25th August 2023, Macao. This year, we organize a Joint Workshop of
The 5th Financial Technology And Natural Language Processing (*FinNLP*) and
2nd *Multimodal AI For Financial Forecasting* (Muffin). Thus, papers
related to NLP or multimodal AI in finance are welcome.
This year, we have a shared task related to *multilingual ESG issue
identification*. Registration is open now, and the dataset will be …
[View More]released
soon.
Please refer to our website for more details - FinNLP-2023:

FinNLP-MUFFIN-2023: The Joint Workshop of the 5th Financial Technology and
Natural Language Processing (FinNLP) and 2nd Multimodal AI For Financial
Forecasting (MUFFIN)
IJCAI-2023
Macao, August 19-25, 2023
Conference website https://finnlp-muffin-ijcai23.github.io/
Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=finnlpmuffin2023
Submission deadline April 26, 2023
*About The FinNLP Workshop*
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where international
participants share knowledge on applying NLP to the FinTech domain.
Recently, analyzing documents related to finance and economics has
attracted much attention in the AI community. In the financial field,
FinTech is a new industry that focuses on improving financial activity with
technology. Thus, in order to bridge the gap between the NLP research and
the financial applications, we organize FinNLP workshop series. One of the
expected accomplishments of FinNLP is to introduce insights from the
financial domain to the NLP community. With the sharing of the researchers
in FinNLP, the challenging problems of blending FinTech and NLP will be
identified, and the future research direction will be shaped. That can
broaden the scope of this interdisciplinary research area.
*About The Muffin Workshop*
The Workshop aims to explore recent advances and challenges of multimodal
AI for finance. Financial forecasting is an essential task that helps
investors make sound investment decisions and wealth creation. With
increasing public interest in trading stocks, cryptocurrencies, bonds,
commodities, currencies, crypto coins and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), there
have been several attempts to utilize unstructured data for financial
forecasting. Unparalleled advances in multimodal deep learning have made it
possible to utilize multimedia such as textual reports, news articles,
streaming video content, audio conference calls, user social media posts,
customer web searches, etc for identifying profit creation opportunities in
the market. E.g., how can we leverage new and better information to predict
movements in stocks and cryptocurrencies well before others? However, there
are several hurdles towards realizing this goal - (1) large volumes of
chaotic data, (2) combining text, audio, video, social media posts, and
other modalities is non-trivial, (3) long context of media spanning
multiple hours, days or even months, (4) user sentiment and media
hype-driven stock/crypto price movement and volatility, (5) difficulties
with traditional statistical methods (6) misinformation and
non-interpretability of financial systems leading to massive losses and
bankruptcies.
At the IJCAI-2023 Joint Workshop of the 5th Financial Technology and
Natural Language Processing (FinNLP) and 2nd Multimodal AI For Financial
Forecasting (MUFFIN), we aim to bring bring together researchers from
natural language processing, computer vision, speech recognition, machine
learning, statistics and quantitative trading communities to expand
research on the intersection of AI and finance.Please select a suitable
track (“NLP” or “Multimodal”) for best considerations and reviewer
matching.We will also organize 2 shared tasks in this workshop – (1) ESG
Issue Identification (2) Price and Volatility Prediction From Conference
Call Videos.

Second Call for Participation
****************************
*TASK*: Assessing DIScourse COherence in Italian TEXts (DisCoTEX) @
EVALITA 2023
*Info*: https://sites.google.com/view/discotex/home
*Final Workshop*: September 7th-8th, 2023, Parma, Italy
We invite interested parties from academia and industry to participate
in the *DisCoTEX Task*, which will be held in the context of Evalita
2023 <https://www.evalita.it/campaigns/…
[View More]evalita-2023/>.
DisCoTEX is the first shared task focused on modeling discourse
coherence for Italian real-word texts. Coherence is a key property of
any well-organized text and it plays a fundamental role in human
discourse processing as well as in a number of NLP applications.
Inspired by previous literature on coherence modeling, the DisCoTEX task
will be articulated into two subtasks:
1. Last sentence classification: this is conceived as a binary
classification task. Specifically, given a short textual passage and an
individual sentence, participants will be asked to predict whether the
sentence follows or not, thus joining it to the passage gives out a
coherent or incoherent passage.
2. Human score prediction: this is conceived as a regression task in
which participants will be asked to predict the average coherence score
assigned by human raters to short passages (either in their original or
modified version).
Participants are free to participate in either one of them or both.
More details about the task definition, source data and evaluation are
available at the task website <https://sites.google.com/view/discotex/home>.
Given the novelty of the task and the crucial role that coherence
modeling plays in a variety of application scenarios, we expect to
attract groups from communities working on distinct fields, such as
automatic essay scoring, readability assessment and document
summarization. Moreover, we hope that beyond the competition, the task
would rise the interest of scholars working on theoretical models of
coherence from a linguistic and a cognitive perspective, as well as
those involved in the interpretability of current language models based
on deep learning networks.
