Call for Papers: EACL 2023 Student Research Workshop
by Matthias Lindemann 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

EACL 2023 Student Research Workshop First Call for Papers View on the web at https://sites.google.com/view/eacl2023srw/call-for-papers Main Conference: May 2-6, 2023 Paper Submission Deadline: December 16, 2022 ============== ## General Rules for Submission The EACL 2023 Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a forum for student researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity for student participants to present their work and receive valuable feedback from the international research community. The workshop’s goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their education: including undergraduate, masters, junior, and senior PhD students. We invite papers in two different categories: Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for PhD students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and ideas about future directions for their work. Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or work-in-progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author MUST BE a current graduate or undergraduate student. We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students, as well as Masters or advanced undergraduate students. Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as for the main conference (https://2023.eacl.org/calls/papers/). Please see the submission guidelines page for more information at https://sites.google.com/view/eacl2023srw/submission-guidelines. ============== ## Pre-submission mentoring program The goal is to improve the presentation of the student’s work, not to critique the work itself. Participants will be assigned a mentor that they will be able to contact regarding their submission. Participation is optional but encouraged. Students wishing to participate must fill this form by November 14, 2022: https://forms.gle/EufnYHsTAqcoeN6Z7 You CAN submit a paper to the main deadline, even if you did not participate in pre-submission mentoring. ## Benefits of participation All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented in the main conference poster session, giving students an opportunity to interact with and present their work to a large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned mentors. Submissions (in both categories) may either be archival or non-archival, based on the wishes of the authors. All archival papers will be published in the EACL 2023 SRW Proceedings. All non-archival papers may be submitted to any venue in the future except another SRW. Each willing participant is also assigned a mentor - an experienced researcher - who can provide valuable advice on the submission during the pre-submission period and mentoring during the conference. ============== ## Important Dates Pre-submission mentoring deadline: November 14, 2022 Paper submission deadline: December 16, 2022 Acceptance notification: February 24, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: March 17, 2023 EACL conference dates: May 2-6, 2023 All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”). ============== ## Submission Requirements We accept both archival submissions (i.e., the work can be included in the conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (the work will be presented in the workshop, but will not be part of the proceedings). The “archival” submissions should follow the anonymity period and restrictions of the main conference as appears in https://2023.eacl.org/calls/papers/. Papers can be submitted as short or long papers. Short papers consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, they will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. Long papers consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, they will be given nine (9) content pages in the proceedings. Thesis proposals consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, they will be given nine (9) content pages in the proceedings. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewers’ comments in their final versions. Paper submissions must use the official EACL 2023 style templates. All submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in these template files. The review process is blind; hence, all submissions must be anonymized. The SRW invites papers on topics related to computational linguistics, including but not limited to: Anaphora, Discourse and Pragmatics Computational Social Science and Social Media Dialogue and Interactive Systems Document analysis, Text Categorization and Topic Models Generation and Summarization Ethical and Sustainable NLP Information Retrieval and Search Information Extraction Interpretability and Model Analysis in NLP Language Resources and Evaluation Language Grounding and Multi-Modality Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics Machine Learning in NLP Machine Translation Multilinguality Multidisciplinary and NLP Applications Question Answering Semantics: lexical Semantics: sentence level and other areas Sentiment Analysis and Argument Mining Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation Tagging, Chunking, Syntax, and Parsing Student Research Workshop Co-Chairs Elisa Bassignana, IT University of Copenhagen Matthias Lindemann, University of Edinburgh Alban Petit, University of Paris-Saclay Student Research Workshop Faculty Advisor Valerio Basile, University of Turin Contact The organizers of the workshop can be contacted by email at eacl.srw23(a)gmail.com More details can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/eacl2023srw

2nd CFP: 7th International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (Depling 2023)
by François Lareau 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS DEPLING 2023, WASHINGTON DC, MARCH 9-12, 2023 Depling (https://depling.org) is a bi-annual conference dedicated to dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural language processing. Dependencies, directed labeled graph structures representing hierarchical relations between morphemes, words or semantic units, have now become the standard representation of syntactic resources and NLP technologies. Depling has become the central event for people discussing the linguistic significance of these structures, their theoretical and formal foundations, their processing, and their use in NLP tools. VENUE This year, Depling will be part of the Georgetown University Round Table on Linguistics (GURT, https://gurt.georgetown.edu) in Washington DC on March 9-12, 2023, together with UDW, TLT, and CxGs+NLP, in the spirit of previous SyntaxFests (https://syntaxfest.github.io). Talks will take place in plenary sessions to promote cross-fertilization of ideas across subcommunities. TOPICS OF INTEREST Depling addresses the use of dependency trees and related formal representations (such as DAGs) to represent linguistic structure. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * The use of dependency structures in theoretical linguistics * Historical and epistemological foundations of dependency grammar * The use of dependency structures in corpus development * The use of dependency structures in lexicography * The use of dependency structures in computational linguistics * The relation between dependency-based grammar and other fields of science INVITED SPEAKER Guy Perrier, LORIA/Université de Lorraine (Emeritus) SUBMISSION DETAILS We invite paper submissions in two distinct tracks: * regular papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate; * short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces. Papers must be submitted in PDF via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=georgetown.edu/GURT/2023/Conference Regular papers may consist of up to 8 pages (excluding references and appendices). Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages (excluding references and appendices). Accepted papers will be given an additional page to address reviewer comments. Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference. All submissions should follow the two-column format and the ACL style. https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files Proceedings will be published in the ACL Anthology and will include both long and short papers. For more information, read our detailed call for papers here: https://gurt.georgetown.edu/gurt-2023/depling-call-for-papers/ IMPORTANT DATES * November 15, 2022: submission deadline (long and short papers) * January 11, 2023: notification of acceptance * February 1, 2023: camera-ready papers due * March 9–12, 2023: conference DEPLING CHAIRS François Lareau, Université de Montréal Owen Rambow, Stony Brook University Contact: depling2023(a)depling.org

2-year postdoc in NLP/data science
by Nina Tahmasebi 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, We are hiring a second postdoc! Do you have a lot of drive and are interested in getting engaged in a vibrant, new research field with the chance to work with some of the best in the field? We are announcing one or more 2-year postdoc positions in identification and analysis of lexical semantic change using computational models applied to diachronic texts. Application deadline November 15! Our languages change over time. As a consequence, words may look the same, but have different meanings at different points in time, a phenomenon called lexical semantic change (LSC). To facilitate interpretation, search, and analysis of old texts, we build computational methods for automatic detection and characterization of LSC from large amounts of text. Our outputs will be used by the lexicographic R&D unit that compiles the Swedish Academy dictionaries, as well as by researchers from the humanities and social sciences that include textual analysis as a central methodological component. We are looking for a researcher with a phd in a relevant area (for example, language technology/natural language processing, computer science, complex systems, mathematics, linguistics with experience in computational methods, or informational sciences). The Change is Key! program and the Towards Computational Lexical Semantic Change Detection research project offer a vibrant research environment for this exciting and rapidly growing cutting-edge research field in NLP. There is a unique opportunity to contribute to the field of LSC, but also to humanities and social sciences through our active collaboration with international researchers in historical linguistics, analytical sociology, gender studies, conceptual history, and literary studies.
