DEADLINE EXTENSION TwinTalks 4: Understanding and Facilitating Remote Collaboration in DH
by Gorgaini, E. (Elisa) 16 May '23

16 May '23

DEADLINE EXTENSION TwinTalks 4: Understanding and Facilitating Remote Collaboration in DH The workshop is a joint initiative by the European Social Sciences and Humanities Research Infrastructures CLARIN <http://www.clarin.eu/> and DARIAH<https://www.dariah.eu/> and it will be organised as part of the DH 2023 Collaboration and Opportunity Conference<https://dh2023.adho.org/> that will take place on July 10-14 in Graz, Austria. Dates and Location Main conference: 10-14 July, Messe Congress Graz convention centre<http://www.mcg.at/messegraz.at/en/locations/messecongress-graz/veranstalter…> TwinTalks workshop: 10 July, 9:00 - 17:00 CEST, University of Graz<https://www.uni-graz.at/en/> Important Dates * 15 March 2023: Call for Papers * 22 May 2023: Submission deadline (extended) * 15 June 2023: Notification of acceptance * 30 June 2023: Deadline for the final version of extended abstracts * 10 July 2023 (9:00 - 17:00 CEST): Workshop Workshop Aims The main objective of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of the dynamics on the Digital Humanities work floor when researchers, teachers and/or professionals with different – but often overlapping – areas of competence engage in remote collaboration to solve humanities research questions, and to explore how education and training of humanities scholars, cultural heritage professionals and technical experts can help to make remote collaboration across disciplines more efficient and effective, more creative and innovative, and more inclusive and rewarding for all participants. To this end, we invite submissions reporting on all aspects and stages of engaging in remote collaborative research and teaching in DH, including the obstacles encountered and solutions found. We also welcome position papers on the role of research infrastructures in facilitating remote collaboration in DH. The insights gained should help those involved in the education of humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts alike to develop better training programmes, tailored towards the needs of a diverse group of potential learners. The workshop is a follow-up of three previous successful TwinTalks workshops that have taken place at various DH conferences from 2019 onwards (TwinTalks 1 proceedings<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2365/>; TwinTalks 1 blog<http://www.parthenos-project.eu/clarin-and-parthenos-twintalks>; TwinTalks 2+3 proceedings<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2717/>). Audience Researchers, cultural heritage professionals, educators, scientific programmers, research infrastructure operators and policy-makers with a special interest in creating the conditions where people with humanities research skills and technical expertise (or both) can fruitfully collaborate in answering humanities research questions remotely. Workshop Format The programme starts with an invited talk by a prominent speaker, which will set the scene for the rest of the day. The main component of the workshop programme consists of two types of (submitted) talks: * Twin talks, i.e. talks presented by pairs or teams consisting of someone rooted primarily in humanities research (with a humanities research problem, i.e. not a technical problem or tool), someone with a background in a totally different discipline (e.g. technical) who has contributed their specific capabilities to arrive at the answers, and/or a cultural heritage professional whose collection knowledge has contributed to the development of the research corpus. Talks will usually consist of three parts, followed by questions from the audience: In the first part, the humanities research question is the point of focus, while in the second part, it is shown how the joint effort resulted in an answer to the respective question. In the third part, these perspectives come together, as the team describes how the remote collaboration went, including obstacles that were encountered, and how better training and education could help to make remote collaboration more efficient and effective. * Teach talks by teachers/lecturers/trainers with experience with or interesting ideas about how remote cross-discipline collaboration is or can be addressed in curricula or other training activities. Submissions The language of the workshop is English. What we expect from the submissions for the Twin Talks track: * They are authored and presented by one or more humanities scholars and one or more digital experts * They start from a humanities research question (i.e. not a technical question, a presentation of a tool, a platform or a data collection) * They describe the remote research carried out jointly and its results * They describe the technical aspects of the methods used and the results obtained * They analyse the way the scholars and the technicians collaborated remotely, addressing issues such as (but not limited to): * What was easy and what was difficult, and why? * How did the researchers, technicians or cultural heritage professionals change each other’s way of looking at things? * Did they, for instance, make each other aware of blind spots they had? * Did the combination of thinking from a DH research question and thinking from a technical solution lead to new insights? * How could better training or education of scholars and digital experts make remote collaboration easier, more effective and more efficient? With regards to the TeachTalks track, one single author and presenter is sufficient. Of course, multi-author papers are equally welcome. Submission instructions * Format: PDF. For format instructions, see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip * Size: Extended abstracts, size ca 4-8 pages (between 2000-4000 words), covering research questions and answers, technical aspects and collaboration experience for Twin Talks, or relevant educational experience for Teach Talks. * Publication: The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS<https://ceur-ws.org/>. * Submission URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=twintalksdh2023 Workshop Programme Committee * Bente Maegaard (CLARIN ERIC / University of Copenhagen, Denmark) * Barbara McGillivray (King's College London & The Alan Turing Institute, UK) * Benjamin Wiggins (University of Manchester, UK) * Eleni Gouli (Academy of Athens, Greece) * Francesca Frontini (CNR, Italy & CLARIN ERIC) * Frank Uiterwaal (EHRI / NIOD / KNAW, Netherlands) * Folgert Karsdorp (Meertens Institute, KNAW, Netherlands) * Geoffrey Rockwell (University of Alberta, Canada) * Hitoshi Isahara (Center for IT-Based Education, Japan) * Jennifer Edmond (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) * Koenraad De Smedt (CLARINO, University of Bergen, Norway) * Maria Gavrilidou (Institute for Language and Speech Processing, Athens, Greece) * Menno Van Zaanen (South African Centre for Digital Language Resources, South Africa) * Milena Dobreva (Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria) * Mikko Tolonen (University of Helsinki, Finland) * Radim Hladik (Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic) * Ulrike Wuttke (University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Germany) * Vicky Garnett (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Chairs and Organisers The workshop is a joint initiative by European SSH Research Infrastructures CLARIN (www.clarin.eu<http://www.clarin.eu/>) and DARIAH (https://www.dariah.eu/). * Steven Krauwer (CLARIN ERIC / Utrecht University, Netherlands) * Darja Fišer (CLARIN ERIC / Institute of Contemporary History, Slovenia) * Iulianna van der Lek-Ciudin (CLARIN ERIC, Netherlands) * Sally Chambers (DARIAH-EU / Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities, Belgium) * Agiatis Benardou (DARIAH-EU / Digital Curation Unit, ATHENA R.C., Athens, Greece) Contact Information For any questions, please contact Iulianna van der Lek at events(a)clarin.eu<https://mailto:events@clarin.eu>. — Elisa Gorgaini CLARIN ERIC External Relation Officer elisa(a)clarin.eu +31648213015 www.clarin.eu

Universal Dependencies, release 2.12
by Dan Zeman 15 May '23

15 May '23

We are very happy to announce the eighteenth release of annotated treebanks in Universal Dependencies, v2.12, available at http://universaldependencies.org/. Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective (de Marneffe et al., 2021; Nivre et al., 2020). The annotation scheme is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008, 2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags (Petrov et al., 2012), and the Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic tagsets (Zeman, 2008). The general philosophy is to provide a universal inventory of categories and guidelines to facilitate consistent annotation of similar constructions across languages, while allowing language-specific extensions when necessary. The *245* treebanks in v2.12 are annotated according to version 2 of the UD guidelines and represent the following *141 languages:* Abaza, Afrikaans, Akkadian, Akuntsu, Albanian, Amharic, Ancient Greek, Ancient Hebrew, Apurina, Arabic, Armenian, Assyrian, Bambara, Basque, Beja, Belarusian, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Bororo, Breton, Bulgarian, Buryat, Cantonese, Catalan, Cebuano, Chinese, Chukchi, Classical Chinese, Coptic, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Erzya, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Frisian Dutch, Galician, German, Gheg, Gothic, Greek, Guajajara, Guarani, Hebrew, Hindi, Hittite, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kaapor, Kangri, Karelian, Karo, Kazakh, Khunsari, Kiche, Komi Permyak, Komi Zyrian, Korean, Kurmanji, Kyrgyz, Latin, Latvian, Ligurian, Lithuanian, Livvi, Low Saxon, Madi, Maghrebi Arabic French, Makurap, Malayalam, Maltese, Manx, Marathi, Mbya Guarani, Moksha, Munduruku, Naija, Nayini, Neapolitan, Nheengatu, North Sami, Norwegian, Old Church Slavonic, Old East Slavic, Old French, Old Irish, Old Turkish, Persian, Polish, Pomak, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian, Sinhala, Skolt Sami, Slovak, Slovenian, Soi, South Levantine Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, Swedish Sign Language, Swiss German, Tagalog, Tamil, Tatar, Teko, Telugu, Thai, Tupinamba, Turkish, Turkish German, Ukrainian, Umbrian, Upper Sorbian, Urdu, Uyghur, Vietnamese, Warlpiri, Welsh, Western Armenian, Western Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, Wolof, Xavante, Xibe, Yakut, Yoruba, Yupik and Zaar. The 141 languages belong to *30 families:* Afro-Asiatic, Arawakan, Arawan, Austro-Asiatic, Austronesian, Basque, Bororoan, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Code switching, Creole, Dravidian, Eskimo-Aleut, Indo-European, Japanese, Korean, Macro-Je, Mande, Mayan, Mongolic, Niger-Congo, Northwest Caucasian, Pama-Nyungan, Sign Language, Sino-Tibetan, Tai-Kadai, Tungusic, Tupian, Turkic, Uralic and Uto-Aztecan. Depending on the language, the treebanks range in size from less than 1,000 tokens to over 3 million tokens. We expect the next release to be available in November 2023. The size of the following 28 treebanks changed significantly since the last release: Bororo BDT : 0 → 692 Classical Chinese Kyoto : 310594 → 433168 English ESL : 97681 → 0 English ESLSpok : 0 → 21312 English GENTLE : 0 → 17797 English GUM : 164490 → 187515 French FTB : 573370 → 0 Greek GUD : 0 → 25493 Hindi English HIENCS : 26909 → 0 Irish Cadhan : 3804 → 4783 Irish TwittIrish : 15433 → 47790 Japanese Modern : 14494 → 0 Javanese CSUI : 2067 → 14344 Kyrgyz KTMU : 0 → 7451 Maghrebi Arabic French Arabizi: 0 → 19793 Malayalam UFAL : 202 → 2403 Moksha JR : 3431 → 4081 Nheengatu CompLin : 2146 → 8604 Norwegian NynorskLIA : 55410 → 0 Old Church Slavonic PROIEL : 57563 → 198843 Old East Slavic Ruthenian : 3069 → 10011 Old East Slavic TOROT : 149780 → 246850 Old Irish DipSGG : 0 → 400 Old Irish DipWBG : 0 → 438 Portuguese GSD : 318916 → 0 Teko TuDeT : 1375 → 2272 Vietnamese VTB : 43783 → 58069 Xavante XDT : 120 → 1597 Daniel Zeman, Joakim Nivre, Mitchell Abrams, Elia Ackermann, Noëmi Aepli, Hamid Aghaei, Željko Agić, Amir Ahmadi, Lars Ahrenberg, Chika Kennedy Ajede, Salih Furkan Akkurt, Gabrielė Aleksandravičiūtė, Ika Alfina, Avner Algom, Khalid Alnajjar, Chiara Alzetta, Erik Andersen, Lene Antonsen, Tatsuya Aoyama, Katya Aplonova, Angelina Aquino, Carolina Aragon, Glyd Aranes, Maria Jesus Aranzabe, Bilge Nas Arıcan, Þórunn Arnardóttir, Gashaw Arutie, Jessica Naraiswari Arwidarasti, Masayuki Asahara, Katla Ásgeirsdóttir, Deniz Baran Aslan, Cengiz Asmazoğlu, Luma Ateyah, Furkan Atmaca, Mohammed Attia, Aitziber Atutxa, Liesbeth Augustinus, Mariana Avelãs, Elena Badmaeva, Keerthana Balasubramani, Miguel Ballesteros, Esha Banerjee, Sebastian Bank, Verginica Barbu Mititelu, Starkaður Barkarson, Rodolfo Basile, Victoria Basmov, Colin Batchelor, John Bauer, Seyyit Talha Bedir, Shabnam Behzad, Kepa Bengoetxea, İbrahim Benli, Yifat Ben Moshe, Gözde Berk, Riyaz Ahmad Bhat, Erica Biagetti, Eckhard Bick, Agnė Bielinskienė, Kristín Bjarnadóttir, Rogier Blokland, Victoria Bobicev, Loïc Boizou, Emanuel Borges Völker, Carl Börstell, Cristina Bosco, Gosse Bouma, Sam Bowman, Adriane Boyd, Anouck Braggaar, António Branco, Kristina Brokaitė, Aljoscha Burchardt, Marisa Campos, Marie Candito, Bernard Caron, Gauthier Caron, Catarina Carvalheiro, Rita Carvalho, Lauren Cassidy, Maria Clara Castro, Sérgio Castro, Tatiana Cavalcanti, Gülşen Cebiroğlu Eryiğit, Flavio Massimiliano Cecchini, Giuseppe G.

15 May '23

**apologies for cross-postings** ===== Call for Participation IWCS 2023 ===== Program: http://iwcs2023.loria.fr/program/ Early Registration: 21st May 2023 https://iwcs2023.loria.fr/registration/ ============================================ 15th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS) Universit�� de Lorraine, Nancy, France 20-23th June 2023 http://iwcs2023.loria.fr/ IWCS is the biennial meeting of SIGSEM [1], the ACL special interest group on semantics [2]; this year's edition is organized in person by the Loria [3] and IDMC [4] of the Universit�� de Lorraine. [1] http://sigsem.org/ [2] http://aclweb.org/ [3] https://www.loria.fr/fr/ [4] http://idmc.univ-lorraine.fr/ The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, representation and neuralisation of meaning in natural language, whether this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference and workshops will take place 20-23 June 2023. === TOPICS OF INTEREST === We invite paper submissions in all areas of computational semantics, in other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural language within written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication. Presentations will be oral and posters. Submissions are invited on these closely related areas, including the following: * design of meaning representations * syntax-semantics interface * representing and resolving semantic ambiguity * shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning * hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics * distributional semantics * alternative approaches to compositional semantics * inference methods for computational semantics * recognising textual entailment * learning by reading * methodologies and practices for semantic annotation * machine learning of semantic structures * probabilistic computational semantics * neural semantic parsing * computational aspects of lexical semantics * semantics and ontologies * semantic web and natural language processing * semantic aspects of language generation * generating from meaning representations * semantic relations in discourse and dialogue * semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts * multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning * semantics-pragmatics interface * applications of computational semantics === SUBMISSION INFORMATION === Two types of submission are solicited: long papers and short papers. Both types should be submitted not later than 3 March (anywhere on earth). Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8 pages (not counting acknowledgements and references). Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research) must not exceed 4 pages (not counting acknowledgements and references). Both types will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology. Accepted papers get an extra page in the camera-ready version. Style-files: IWCS papers should be formatted following the common two-column structure as used by ACL. Please use our specific style-files or the Overleaf template, taken from ACL 2021. Similar to ACL 2021, initial submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. Submitting: Papers should be submitted in PDF format via Softconf: https://softconf.com/iwcs2023/papers Please make sure that you select the right track when submitting your paper. Contact the organisers if you have problems using Softconf. No anonymity period IWCS 2023 does not have an anonymity period. However, we ask you to be reasonable and not publicly advertise your preprint during (or right before) review. === IMPORTANT DATES === 15 March --> 22 March 2023 (anywhere on earth) Paper submissions 17 April 2023 Decisions sent to authors 15 May 2023 Camera-ready papers due 20-23 June 2023 IWCS conference === CONTACT === For questions, contact: iwcs2023-contact(a)univ-lorraine.fr Maxime Amblard, Ellen Breithloltz (the IWCS 2023 organizers)

Stop by booth 15 to learn more about recent developments at the Consortium and the latest publications. LDC will post conference updates via Twitter<https://twitter.com/LDCupenn> and Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/ldc.upenn>. We look forward to seeing you there! ________________________________ New publications: 2019 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation Test Set - CTS Challenge<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023S03>, developed by LDC and NIST, contains 635 hours of Tunisian Arabic telephone recordings for development and test, answer keys, enrollment, trial files, and documentation from the CTS Challenge portion of the NIST-sponsored 2019 Speaker Recognition Evaluation<https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mig/nist-2019-speaker-recognition-evaluation>. The 2019 evaluation was conducted in two parts: (1) a leaderboard-style challenge based on conversational telephone speech from LDC's Call My Net 2 (CMN2) corpus; and (2) a separate evaluation using audio-visual material collected by LDC for the VAST (Video Annotation for Speech Technology) project (released as LDC2023V01<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023V01>). The telephone speech data for the CTS Challenge was drawn from the CMN2 collection conducted by LDC in Tunisia in which Tunisian Arabic speakers called friends or relatives who agreed to record their telephone conversations lasting between 8-10 minutes. The speech segments include PSTN (public switched telephone network) and VOIP (voice over IP) data. 2023 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts. Non-members may license this data for a fee. * LORELEI Zulu Representative Language Pack<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2023T06> is comprised of over 5 million words of Zulu monolingual text, 2.7 million words of found Zulu-English parallel text, and 71,000 Zulu words translated from English data. Approximately 100,000 words were annotated for named entities and over 23,000 words were annotated for entity discovery and linking and situation frames (identifying entities, needs, and issues). Data was collected from discussion forum, news, reference, social network, and weblogs. The LORELEI (Low Resource Languages for Emergent Incidents) program was concerned with building human language technology for low resource languages in the context of emergent situations. Representative languages were selected to provide broad typological coverage. The knowledge base for entity linking annotation is available separately as LORELEI Entity Detection and Linking Knowledge Base (LDC2020T10)<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2020T10>. 2023 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts.
