Announcing the ALTA 2022 Shared Task
by Diego Molla-Aliod 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION http://www.alta.asn.au/events/sharedtask2022 The Australasian Language Technology Association (ALTA) is organising a programming competition for university undergraduate and postgraduate students. Following on the series of shared tasks by ALTA since 2010, all participants compete to solve the same problem. The problem highlights an active area of research and programming in the area of language technology. This year's shared task is a re-visit of the 2012 task: PIBOSO Sentence Classification - 10 years later. The goal of this task is to build automatic sentence classifiers that can map the content of biomedical abstracts into a set of pre-defined categories, which are used for Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). EBM practitioners rely on specific criteria when judging whether a scientific article is relevant to a given question. They generally follow the PICO criterion: Population (P) (i.e., participants in a study); Intervention (I); Comparison (C) (if appropriate); and Outcome (O) (of an Intervention). Variations and extensions of this classification have been proposed, and for this task we will extend PICO by adding the classes Background (B) and Study Design (S); and including sentences that have no relevant content: Other (O). Therefore, the goal will be to classify the provided sentences according to the PIBOSO schema. Such information could be leveraged in various ways: e.g., to improve search performance; to enable structured querying with specific categories; and to aid users in more quickly making judgements against specified PICOSO criteria. The tentative key dates are: - Right Now - Registration and release of training and development data - 04 Oct 2022 - Release of test data - 11 Oct 2022 - Deadline of submission of runs - 14 Oct 2022 - Notification of results - 10 Nov 2022 - Deadline of submission of system description - 15-16 Dec 2022 - Presentation of results at ALTA 2022 Details of the task and registration are available at the competition website (http://www.alta.asn.au/events/sharedtask2022). Good luck!

Second Call for (Raw) Data: ValueEval @ SemEval'23
by Milad Alshomary 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Dear corpora community, We are organizing the ValueEval competition [1] as part of SemEval'23. We are looking for data suggestions or contributions to diversify our training and test datasets. The task of ValueEval is to automatically identify human value categories (e.g., "concern," "tradition," or "self-directed thinking") from which a statement draws persuasive power. For example, the statement "Nuclear weapons have the potential to cause massive destruction" can draw on social security values to appeal to the statement "Nuclear weapons should be abolished." For more details, see our paper and the existing dataset [2]. For more details, you can check the following video [3]. Specifically, we are looking for data that fulfill these criteria: - The data consists of pairs of two causally related short statements (1 to 3 sentences each): - the first statement of the pair must provide one or more reasons - the second statement of the pair provides context for the first statement: the first statement must either be supporting or attacking the second statement - The data contains between 50 and 1000 such pairs - The statements are in English (possibly translated from a different language) and grammatically sound The suitable datasets we know (mainly from the computational argumentation community) focus on US or Western topics and contain debate-style statements. We are thus specifically looking for datasets that focus on issues from other parts of the world or other genres. We are grateful for pointers to resources we could use (e.g., specific websites) or to existing corpora. After assessing suitability per the criteria outlined above, we will take care of annotation. We will write a paper on the final dataset and invite each data contributor to join as a co-author. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, please respond to this mail by August 31, 2022. Yours sincerely, Milad, Johannes, Henning, and Benno [1] https://valueeval.webis.de [2] Kiesel, Johannes, Milad Alshomary, Nicolas Handke, Xiaoni Cai, Henning Wachsmuth, and Benno Stein.

The ClinSpEn track of the Biomedical WMT 2022 shared task tries to address a pressing need and emerging research topic related to the development and exploitation of multilingual clinical NLP and text mining applications. Recent advances in neural machine translation approaches (MT) adapted to specific domains and text genres have resulted in promising results that facilitate processing of healthcare and clinical data beyond language silos. The ClinSpEn sub-track tries to promote the use of advanced machine translation technologies applied to three high impact healthcare application scenarios: (1) automatic translation of clinical case documents of importance to examine how MT could be further applied to cope with clinical records (2) automatic translation of clinical terms and entity mentions extracted directly from medical records and literature to improve multilingual semantic annotation technologies (3) automatic translation of ontologies and controlled vocabulary concepts of uttermost importance for multilingual data and concept normalization These three scenarios will be addressed by three specific benchmark data collections used for evaluation purposes by the ClinSpEn biomedical WMT track: ClinSpEn-CC (Clinical Cases): EN>ES translation of clinical case documents. ClinSpEn-CT (Clinical Terms): ES>EN translation of clinical terms and entity mentions extracted from records and literature. ClinSpEn-OC (Ontology Concepts): EN>ES translation of highly used open clinical controlled vocabularies and ontology concepts.

2nd Call for Abstracts - North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics - Fifth Annual Meeting (NARNiHS 2023)
by Lauersdorf, Mark R. 20 Aug '22

20 Aug '22

***** 2nd Call for Abstracts ***** NARNiHS 2023 ***** North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics ***** Fifth Annual Meeting Despite the recent relaxation of global pandemic travel policies, travel concerns remain for many communities as of the summer of 2022. In light of these concerns, and in response to the positive feedback we have received concerning our recent all-online events, our NARNiHS 2023 Annual Meeting will once again be taking place as a **free, entirely online event**. This presents a great opportunity for scholars in historical sociolinguistics from all over the world to participate as presenters and/or attendees without the limitations imposed by international travel. We encourage our fellow historical sociolinguists and scholars from related fields from our global scholarly community (in addition to North America) to join us online for our Fifth Annual Meeting. ==> Abstract submission deadline: Monday, 19 September 2022, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time. Please see our call for abstracts below and send us your latest work in historical sociolinguistics! ----- Call for Abstracts -----. The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) is accepting abstracts for its Fifth Annual Meeting (NARNiHS 2023), to take place Wednesday, January 4 - Sunday, January 8, 2023. Since NARNiHS is a Sister Society of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), NARNiHS 2023 will partially overlap with the LSA 2023 Annual Meeting. The NARNiHS 2023 Annual Meeting, however, will be organized independently from the LSA Annual Meeting. ==> Deadline for receipt of abstracts: Monday, 19 September 2022, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time. * Late abstracts will not be considered *. NARNiHS welcomes abstracts in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which is understood as the application/development of sociolinguistic theories, models, and methods for the study of historical language variation and change over time, or more broadly, the study of the interaction of language and society in historical periods and from historical perspectives. Thus, a wide range of linguistic areas, subdisciplines, and methodologies easily find their place within the field, and we encourage submission of abstracts that reflect this broad scope. Abstracts will be accepted for 20-minute presentations to be delivered "live" through an online video-conferencing platform. *** Abstracts will be evaluated on the following criteria ***. - explicit discussion of which theoretical frameworks, methodological protocols, and analytical strategies are being applied or critiqued; - sufficient (if brief) presentation of data sources and examples to allow reviewers a clear understanding of the scope and claims of the research; - clear articulation of how the research advances knowledge in the field of historical sociolinguistics. Abstracts should also be anonymized to allow for blind peer review. Failure to adhere to these criteria will increase the likelihood of non-acceptance. *** General Requirements ***. 1) Abstracts must be submitted electronically, using the following link: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/5THnarnihs2023 . 2) Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts: one single-author abstract and one co-authored abstract. 3) After an abstract has been submitted, no changes of author, title, or wording of the abstract, other than those due to typographical errors, are permitted. If accepted, authors will be contacted for a final version for the abstract booklet. 4) Papers must be delivered as projected in the abstract or represent bona fide developments of the same research. 5) Authors are expected to attend the conference and present their own papers. 6) Presentations will be delivered via a video-conferencing platform, most likely Zoom. Technical details and instructions regarding the platform for our NARNiHS Annual Meeting will be sent to authors in due time. 7) After acceptance, authors will be given an option to have their live presentation recorded during the meeting and archived for future online viewing. *** Abstract Format Guidelines ***. 1) Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format. 2) Abstracts must fit on one standard 8.5x11 inch page, with margins no smaller than 1 inch and a font style and size no smaller than Times New Roman 12 point. All additional content (visualizations, trees, tables, figures, captions, examples, and references) must fit on a single (1) additional page. No exceptions to these requirements are allowed. 3) Anonymize your abstract. We realize that sometimes it is not possible to attain complete anonymity, but there is a difference between "inability to anonymize completely" (due to the nature of the research) and "careless non-anonymizing" (for example: "In Jones 2021, I describe..."). In addition, be sure to anonymize your PDF file (you may do so in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on "File", then "Properties", removing your name if it appears in the "Author" line of the "Description" tab, and re-saving before submitting it). Please be aware that abstract file names might not be automatically anonymized by the system; do not use your name (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf) when saving your abstract in PDF format, rather, use non-identifying information (e.g. HistSoc4Lyfe_NARNiHS.pdf). Your name should only appear in the online form accompanying your abstract submission. Papers that are not sufficiently anonymized wherever possible (whether in the text of the abstract or in the metadata of the digital file) risk being rejected. Contact us at NARNiHistSoc(a)gmail.com with any questions.
