by eneko agirre 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

*Natural Language Processing acceleration: foundations and applications** **Two complementary courses on Deep Learning and NLP* January and February, 2023. San Sebastian, Spain ONSITE ATTENDANCE ONLY HANDS-ON, YOU LEARN TO IMPLEMENT THE MODELS http://ixa.eus/NLPacceleration Deep Learning neural network models have been successfully applied to natural language processing, and are now changing radically how we interact with machines (Siri, Alexa, machine translation or the Google search engine). Large Language Models are at the core of these developments, and are being used to crack "languages" in other disciplines, ranging from programming languages (Copilot) to proteins (AlphaFold) and gene sequences (GenSLM). You can take either one or both courses: Deep Learning for NLP <https://ixa.eus/dl4nlp> (January 9th to 27th, 35 hours, 14 evenings. 11th edition): This course introduces in detail the machinery that makes Deep Learning work for NLP, including the latest transformers and large language models like GPT, BERT and T5. It also covers the use of prompts for zero-shot and few-shot learning, as well as multimodal text-image models like DALL-E. The course combines theoretical and practical hands-on classes. Attendants will be able to understand the internal working of the models, and implement them nearly from scratch in Tensorflow. The aim is to allow attendees to acquire the ability to understand, modify and apply current and future Deep Learning models to NLP and other areas. Introduction to LT Applications <https://ixa.eus/iltapp> (July 11th to 15th, 20 hours, 5 afternoons. 3rd edition): This course introduces the main techniques to build applications, and apply them to core Language Technology applications such us Opinion Mining, Named Entity Recognition, Fake News Detection or Question Answering. The course will have a practical focus, learning to use readily available LT toolkits (Spacy, Flair, etc.). The aim is to allow attendees to acquire the required autonomy to apply LT technologies to target applications. *Registration* has to be done for each course, see respective websites. Note that you only need to pay the insurance for one of the courses.

CFP: Advanced Robotics Special Issue on Multimodal Processing and Robotics for Dialogue Systems
by Ryuichiro Higashinaka 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Dear all, It is my great pleasure to announce that we have a special issue on "Multimodal Processing and Robotics for Dialogue Systems" in the journal of Advanced Robotics (Taylor & Francis). Please consider submitting your original paper to this special issue. The deadline is 31 Jan. 2023. https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/advanced-robotics-multimo… https://www.rsj.or.jp/content/files/pub/ar/CFP/CFP_37_21.pdf I would also appreciate it if you could help distribute the CFP and encourage your colleagues to make submissions. Best regards, Ryuichiro Higashinaka on behalf of guest editors ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// [Call for Papers] Advanced Robotics Special Issue on Multimodal Processing and Robotics for Dialogue Systems Co-Editors: Prof. David Traum (University of Southern California, USA) Prof. Gabriel Skantze (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) Prof. Hiromitsu Nishizaki (University of Yamanashi, Japan) Prof. Ryuichiro Higashinaka (Nagoya University, Japan) Dr. Takashi Minato (RIKEN/ATR, Japan) Prof. Takayuki Nagai (Osaka University, Japan) Publication in Vol. 37, Issue 21 (Nov 2023) SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 31 Jan 2023 In recent years, as seen in smart speakers such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa, there has been remarkable progress in spoken dialogue systems technology to converse with users with human-like utterances. In the future, such dialogue systems are expected to support our daily activities in various ways. However, dialogue in daily activities is more complex than that with smart speakers; even with current spoken dialogue technology, it is still difficult to maintain a successful dialogue in various situations. For example, in customer service through dialogue, it is necessary for operators to respond appropriately to the different ways of speaking and requests of various customers. In such cases, we humans can switch the speaking manner depending on the type of customer, and we can successfully perform the dialogue by not only using our voice but also our gaze and facial expressions. This type of human-like interaction is far from possible with the existing spoken dialogue systems. Humanoid robots have the possibility to realize such an interaction, because they can recognize not only the user's voice but also facial expressions and gestures using various sensors, and can express themselves in various ways such as gestures and facial expressions using their bodies. Their many means of expressions have the potential to successfully continue dialogue in a manner different from conventional dialogue systems. The combination of such robots and dialogue systems can greatly expand the possibilities of dialogue systems, while at the same time, providing a variety of new challenges. Various research and development efforts are currently underway to address these new challenges, including "dialogue robot competition" at IROS2022. In this special issue, we invite a wide range of papers on multimodal dialogue systems and dialogue robots, their applications, and fundamental research. Prospective contributed papers are invited to cover, but are not limited to, the following topics on multimodal dialogue systems and robots: *Spoken dialogue processing *Multimodal processing *Speech recognition *Text-to-speech *Emotion recognition *Motion generation *Facial expression generation *System architecture *Natural language processing *Knowledge representation *Benchmarking *Evaluation method *Ethics *Dialogue systems and robots for competition Submission: The full-length manuscript (either PDF file or MS word file) should be sent by 31st Jan 2023 to the office of Advanced Robotics, the Robotics Society of Japan through the on-line submission system of the journal (https://www.rsj.or.jp/AR/submission). Sample manuscript templates and detailed instructions for authors are available at the website of the journal.
