------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Touché 2023: Argument and Causal Retrieval. Call for Participation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite you to participate in the 4th series of shared tasks on Argument and Causal Retrieval, Touché, which will be held in conjunction with the CLEF'23 conference in Thessaloniki, Greece [ https://clef2023.clef-initiative.eu/ ]. We invite early-bird registrants to assist us with the task design: The Image Retrieval for Arguments task asks teams to participate in expanding the dataset by submitting own queries (automated or manual) until Dec. 31. We propose the following four tasks: 1. Argument Retrieval for Controversial Questions Given a controversial topic, the task is to retrieve and rank documents by their relevance and argument quality and to detect the document stance. 2. Evidence Retrieval for Causal Questions Given a causality-related topic, the task is to retrieve and rank documents by relevance to the topic and detect the document "causal" stance. 3. Image Retrieval for Arguments Given a controversial topic, the task is to retrieve images (from web pages) for each stance (pro/con) that show support for that stance. 4. Intra-Multilingual Multi-Target Stance Classification Given a proposal on a socially important issue, the task is to classify whether a comment is in favor, against, or neutral towards the proposal.

Call for Papers - The Third International Conference on Historical Medical Discourse (Chimed-3)
by Mcenery, Tony 24 Nov '22

24 Nov '22

Dear All, The 3rd International Conference on Historical Medical Discourse (Chimed-3) will take place in London, 11-12th May, 2023. Initiated in Milan in 2017, the Chined conference series focuses on multidisciplinary research into European historical medical discourse. We welcome studies drawing from linguistics, literary studies and history – among others – to present a comprehensive and well-rounded view of medical discourse in Europe. The third conference focuses on medical discourse in English in the period 1500–1900. Studies may be either synchronic or diachronic, and a long view may stretch even beyond that main frame of time. In accordance with the multidisciplinary aims of the conference series, we encourage papers that approach medical discourse from different methodological and disciplinary perspectives, though papers based on corpus analyses are very welcome. The language of the conference is English. We invite submissions for presentations of 30 minutes (20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Abstracts of no more than 500 words (excluding references) should be submitted via email to a.mcenery(a)lancaster.ac.uk<mailto:a.mcenery@lancaster.ac.uk> with the subject line ‘Chimed-3’. Abstract submissions are due by Monday 16th January 2023. More details available here: https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/chimed-3/call-for-papers/ Best, Tony McEnery

22 Nov '22

Dear all, The University of Arizona seeks multiple tenure-track hires in their School of Information Science. The successful candidates will have a record of research in machine learning, natural language processing, and/or computational social science focusing on misinformation in social media and social networks to begin in Fall, 2023. They are especially interested in candidates who are well-versed in big data computational methodologies, those with interest in academic leadership roles (e.g., program supervision, student advising), and/or those who bring a record of working on interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary funded grant teams. This position will include teaching responsibilities at both undergraduate and graduate levels and across online and face to face formats. The successful applicant will have ideally developed a strong track record of excellence in teaching and academic citizenry. I have only just moved here in Sept but I have found the University of Arizona to be a lively and interdisciplinary community, and Tucson is a fabulous city. More details, and how to apply, https://arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/4/home/requisition/12223?c=arizo… Yours, Heather -- Dr Heather Froehlich w // http://hfroehli.ch t // @heatherfro
