Call for papers 4th Workshop on Scholarly Document Processing - SDP@ACL 2024
by Tirthankar Ghosal 02 Apr '24

02 Apr '24

** Call for Research Papers ** Scholarly literature is the chief means by which scientists and academics document and communicate their results and is therefore critical to the advancement of knowledge and improvement of human well-being. At the same time, this literature poses challenges to NLP uncommon in other genres, such as specialized language and high background knowledge requirements, long documents and strong structural conventions, multimodal presentation, citation relationships among documents, an emphasis on rational argumentation, and the frequent availability of detailed metadata. These challenges necessitate the development of NLP methods and resources optimized for this domain. The Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) workshop provides a venue for discussing these challenges, bringing together stakeholders from different communities including computational linguistics, machine learning, text mining, information retrieval, digital libraries, scientometrics and others, to develop methods, tasks, and resources in support of these goals. This workshop builds on the success of prior workshops: the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd SDP workshops held at EMNLP 2020, NAACL 2021, and COLING 2022, and the 1st and 2nd SciNLP workshops held at AKBC 2020 and 2021. In addition to having broad appeal within the NLP community, we hope the SDP workshop will attract researchers from other relevant fields including meta-science, scientometrics, data mining, information retrieval, and digital libraries, bringing together these disparate communities within ACL. Website: https://sdproc.org/2024/ X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/sdpworkshop Topics of Interest We invite submissions from all communities demonstrating usage of and challenges associated with natural language processing, information retrieval, and data mining of scholarly and scientific documents. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): - Large Language Models (LLMs) for Science - Representation learning and language modeling - Information extraction and NER - Document understanding - Summarization and generation - Question-answering - Discourse modeling/argumentation mining - Network analysis - Bibliometrics, scientometrics, and altmetrics - Reproducibility and research integrity, including new challenges posed by generative AI - Peer review tools, principles and technology - Metadata and indexing - Inclusion of datasets and computational resources - Research infrastructures and digital libraries - Increasing the representation in scholarly work of disadvantaged populations - LLM-based interfaces to consume/produce scholarly documents ** Submission Information ** Authors are invited to submit full and short papers with unpublished, original work. Submissions will be subject to a double-blind peer-review process. Accepted papers will be presented by the authors at the workshop either as a talk or a poster. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings (proceedings from previous years can be found here: https://aclanthology.org/venues/sdp/). The submissions must be in PDF format and anonymized for review. All submissions must be written in English and follow the ACL 2024 formatting requirements: Long paper submissions: up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited references. Short paper submissions: up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references. Submission Website: Paper submission has to be done through openreview: < https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2024/Workshop/SDProc> Final versions of accepted papers will be allowed 1 additional page of content so that reviewer comments can be taken into account. ** Important Dates (Main Research Track) ** Paper submission deadline: May 17 (Friday), 2024 Notification of acceptance: June 17 (Monday), 2024 Camera-ready paper due: July 1 (Monday), 2024 Workshop dates: August 16, 2024 ** SDP 2024 Keynote Speakers ** We are excited to have several keynote speakers at SDP 2024. 1. Iryna Gurevych, Professor at Technical University Darmstadt and head of the UKP Lab, Germany. 2. Anna Rogers, Assistant Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 3. Heng Ji, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. 4. Doug Downey, Associate Professor at Northwestern University and Research Manager at Allen Institute for AI, USA. ** SDP 2024 Shared Tasks ** SDP 2024 will host two exciting shared tasks. More information about all shared tasks is provided on the workshop website: https://sdproc.org/2024/sharedtasks.html DAGPap24: Detecting automatically generated scientific papers A big problem with the ubiquity of Generative AI is that it has now become very easy to generate fake scientific papers. This can erode public trust in science and attack the foundations of science: are we standing on the shoulders of robots? The Detecting Automatically Generated Papers (DAGPAP) competition aims to encourage the development of robust, reliable AI-generated scientific text detection systems, utilizing a diverse dataset and varied machine learning models in a number of scientific domains. Organizers: Savvas Chamezopoulos, Yury Kashnitsky, Drahomira Herrmannova, Anita de Waard (Elsevier), Domenic Rosati (Scite) Context24: Contextualizing Scientific Figures and Tables When making sense of results across many research papers on a topic, figures or tables of key results from the papers can serve as effective, information-dense summaries that can be compared/contrasted and synthesized with other results. However, to understand the results, key elements (e.g., measures, sample) need to be contextualized with associated methodological details, which are typically dispersed throughout the text, often far from the figure/table and from each other. In this shared task, we are interested in contextualizing scientific figures and tables, i.e., automatically retrieving and ranking snippets from the paper that are most needed to interpret their results, with the goal of making figures/tables more self-contained.

Call for Papers: Analysis of Linguistic VAriation for BEtter Tools (ALVABET) within the LLcD 2024 Conference
by mathilde.regnault＠ling.uni-stuttgart.de 02 Apr '24

02 Apr '24

Apologies for cross-posting. Call for Papers: Analysis of Linguistic VAriation for BEtter Tools (ALVABET) within the LLcD 2024 Conference (https://llcd2024.sciencesconf.org/) Workshop Variation plays a particularly important role in linguistic change, since every change stem from a state of variation; but each state of variation does not necessarily end up with a change: the new variant can disappear, or variation can linger but in different contexts. Access to sufficient amounts of data and their quantification, in order to detect the emergence of new variants as precisely as possible, and the recession or even disappearance of others, is a precious tool for the study of variations, whatever their dimensions (diachronic, diatopic, …) and in whatever field (syntax, morphology, …). The appearance of large corpora has thus renewed the study of variation. NLP has contributed largely to this renewal, providing tools for the enrichment and the exploration of these corpora. In return, linguistic analysis can help explain some of these errors and thus deepen the picture where performance metrics tend to flatten out everything under a single number, or even help improve the performances. NLP annotation tools, such as syntactic parsers and morphological taggers, reach great performances nowadays when they are applied on similar data to those seen during their development. However, they quickly drop as the target data diverges from those of the training scenario. This raises a number of issues when it comes to using automatically annotated data to perform linguistic studies. This workshop aims at exploring bilateral contributions between Natural Language Processing and variation analysis in the fields of morphosyntax and syntax, from diachronic and diatopic perspectives but also from genre, domain or form of writing, without any restriction on the languages of interest. We warmly welcome submissions dealing with the issues and contributions of applying NLP to variation analysis : • Quantification of variation along its different dimensions (both external and internal ones as well as in interaction with each other); • Impact of annotation errors on the study of marginal structures (emergent or recessing); • Syntactic variation when it is induced by semantic changes. But also submissions dealing with the contributions of variation analysis to NLP: • Variation mitigation (spelling standardisation...); • Domain adaptation (domain referring here to any variation dimension); • Error analysis (in and out of domain) in light of known variation phenomena, amongst which (de-)grammaticalisation; • The evolution of grammatical categories and its impact on prediction models; • The place of variation studies in NLP in the large language model era. These themes are only suggestions and the workshop will gladly host any submission that deals substantially with the reciprocal contributions between NLP and variation analysis in the mentioned fields. Full workshop description: https://llcd2024.sciencesconf.org/data/pages/WS12Eng.pdf Important Dates • Apr 20, 2024: deadline for abstract submission (Workshops and General session) • May 15, 2024: Notification • Sep 9-11: Conference Submissions Abstracts must clearly state the research questions, approach, method, data and (expected) results. They must be anonymous: not only must they not contain the presenters' names, affiliations or addresses, but they must avoid any other information that might reveal their author(s). They should not exceed 500 words (including examples, but excluding bibliographical references). Abstracts will be assessed by two members of the Scientific Committee and (one of) the workshop organizers.

[CIIAM] Postdoc on Contextual Information Inference for Argument Mining
by Anaïs Ollagnier 02 Apr '24

02 Apr '24

** *Bonjour,* * (english announcement follows) Dans le cadre du projet CIIAM (Contextual Information Inference for Argument Mining) financé par l’Académie d’Excellence Réseaux, Information et Société Numérique, visant à renforcer la robustesse des techniques de fouille d'arguments par la synthétisation d’informations contextuelles relevant des aspects multimodaux de la communication. Nous invitons les doctorant(e)s en fin de thèse et les jeunes docteur(e)s à candidater à un postdoctorat sur "l'Amélioration de la fouille d’argument par la synthétisation d’information contextuelle" (12 mois). -------- Contexte -------- Parvenir à appréhender les structures argumentatives dans les entrées en langage naturel constitue une étape clé pour de nombreuses tâches relevant du domaine du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), telles que le résumé automatique ou l'analyse de débats politiques. Bien que des progrès significatifs aient été réalisés grâce à l'avènement des modèles de langue pré-entraînés, ils ne saisissent pas toujours l'ensemble des connaissances linguistiques nécessaires pour une compréhension contextuelle fine et l'établissement d'inférences pertinentes. Face à ces limitations, notre projet vise à explorer l'inclusion de la dimension d'analyse linguistique liée à la pragmatique. Cette approche se veut particulièrement novatrice, car la pragmatique, en raison de sa complexité à être formalisée, est très peu étudiée d'un point de vue computationnel. C’est à travers l'utilisation des dernières techniques de pointe en matière de "prompting" que nous souhaitons pallier les écueils des méthodes existantes, tels que la variabilité culturelle et l’implicite. --------------- Pour candidater --------------- Sujet détaillé : https://aollagnier.github.io/publications/CIIAM%20PostDoc%20DETAILS.pdf Début du contrat : Octobre 2024, au plus tard Durée du contrat : 12 mois Les candidatures comprenant un CV scientifique, une lettre de motivation et des lettres de recommandation doivent être envoyées à Anaïs Ollagnier (ollagnier(a)i3s.unice.fr) Date limite : 14 Juin 2024 Laboratoire d'accueil : I3S, Sophia-Antipolis, France Au plaisir de vous lire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the context of the CIIAM project (Contextual Information Inference for Argument Mining), funded through the France 2030 investment plan managed by the National Research Agency (ANR), as part of the Initiative of Excellence Université Côte d’Azur, aiming to enhance the robustness of argument mining techniques through the synthesis of contextual information relevant to multimodal aspects of communication. We invite doctoral candidates nearing completion of their thesis and young PhD graduates to apply for a postdoctoral position on "Improving Argument Mining through the Synthesis of Contextual Information" (12 months). -------- Context -------- Understanding argumentative structures in natural language inputs is a key step for many tasks in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), such as automatic summarization or analysis of political debates. Although significant progress has been made with the advent of pre-trained language models, they do not always grasp all the linguistic knowledge necessary for fine contextual understanding and the establishment of relevant inferences. Faced with these limitations, our project aims to explore the inclusion of linguistic analysis dimension related to pragmatics. This approach is particularly innovative because pragmatics, due to its complexity in formalization, has been scarcely studied from a computational perspective. It is through the use of the latest cutting-edge prompting techniques that we aim to overcome the pitfalls of existing methods, such as cultural variability and implicit knowledge. --------------- To Apply --------------- Detailed subject: https://aollagnier.github.io/publications/CIIAM%20PostDoc%20DETAILS.pdf Contract start: October 2024, at the latest Contract duration: 12 months Applications including a scientific CV, a motivation letter, and recommendation letters should be sent to Anaïs Ollagnier (ollagnier(a)i3s.unice.fr) Deadline: June 14, 2024 Hosting laboratory: I3S, Sophia-Antipolis, France * -- Anaïs OLLAGNIER Junior Fellow in AI 3IA Université Côte d'Azur (Polytech Nice) | I3S | INRIA wimmics team -------------------------------------------- Templiers 1, Bureau 414, 930 Route des Colles, BP 145 06903 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France anais.ollagnier(a)inria.fr |https://aollagnier.github.io/
