Survey Study on Sign Language Computation using Machine Learning  
by Hal Daume 18 Aug '22

18 Aug '22

Hello! We are a team of researchers from MSR New England and New York. We are seeking participants (aged 18 or older) who have experience in machine learning or are interested in applying machine learning to developing computational models for signed languages for a survey study. The purpose of this project is to explore how machine learning practitioners can better build machine learning models for sign language computation (e.g., recognition/translation). We want to understand your general motivations in working with machine learning problems and expected challenges when newly working with sign language data and tasks. Please know that sign language knowledge or sign language computation experience is NOT required to participate in this project. The survey can be found at https://forms.office.com/r/7LPnkdTFLN<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.off…> along with a consent form for further details. For every submission of the survey, $10 will be donated to LEAD-K (Language Equity and Acquisition for Deaf Kids), up to the first 50 submissions. The survey receives one submission per person. Once you agree to consent, you will be directed to the survey questions. It will take about 30 minutes to answer the questions, including your experience in machine learning and sign language computation (if any), understanding of sign language culture, and demographics such as your age or education level.  Your responses will be anonymous, unless you choose to provide your name and email address for future contact where you will be invited to participate in a paid study to collaborate with American Sign Language experts. Your name and email address will never be shared outside of the research team. Please complete the survey by Tuesday, 8/23 and feel free to forward this to other colleagues who may be interested! Thank you so much for your consideration! Rie Kamikubo, Danielle Bragg, Alex Lu, Hal Daumé III

August 2022 Newsletter - LDC

In this newsletter: Fall 2022 LDC Data Scholarship Program 30th Anniversary Highlight: The LDC Gigawords ________________________________ New publication: HAVIC MED Novel 2 Test - Videos, Metadata and Annotation<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2022V02> Fall 2022 LDC Data Scholarship Program Student applications for the Fall 2022 LDC Data Scholarship program are being accepted now through September 15, 2022. This program provides eligible students with no-cost access to LDC data. Students must complete an application consisting of a data use proposal and letter of support from their advisor. For application requirements and program rules, visit the LDC Data Scholarships page<https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/language-resources/data/data-scholarships>. 30th Anniversary Highlight: The LDC Gigawords Giga: a combining form meaning "billion," used in the formation of compound words (Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/giga-) LDC's Gigaword corpora are a natural outgrowth of its vast decades-long multi-language newswire collection. Newswire data was originally collected, annotated, and distributed for use in many sponsored projects and was also released through the LDC catalog in tailored data sets. Then came the idea of making LDC's entire newswire collection available by language with a simple, minimal markup to support a broad range of NLP/HLT tasks. The first Arabic<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2011T11>, Chinese<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2011T13>, and English<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2011T07> Gigaword editions were released in 2003; subsequent cumulative releases through fifth editions in 2011 represent LDC's newswire collection spanning 1994-2010 in those languages. French<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2011T10> and Spanish<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2011T12> Gigawords were first published in 2006, culminating in the release of third editions in 2011, likewise covering newswire collected by LDC through 2010. The community has used, and continues to use, these data sets in numerous ways. Automatic text summarization is a favorite, and current work in this area applies deep learning principles (see, e.g., Gao et al. 2020<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00521-018-3946-7>, English). Gigawords are also useful for text source classification (Huang et al. 2003<https://aclanthology.org/Y08-1042.pdf>, Chinese), information extraction (Lan et al. 2020<https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.14519.pdf>, Arabic), knowledge extraction and distributional semantics (Napoles et al. 2012<https://aclanthology.org/W12-3018.pdf>, English), and natural language understanding (Ganitkevitch 2013<https://www.cs.jhu.edu/~juri/pdf/proposal-naacl-2013-srw.pdf>, English), among other fields. Recent variations like the annotated<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2012T21> and concretely annotated<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2018T20> English Gigawords add syntactic, semantic, and coreference annotations to this billion word text collection. All Gigaword corpora are available for licensing by Consortium members and non-members. Visit Obtaining Data <https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/language-resources/data/obtaining> for more information. ________________________________ New publication: HAVIC MED Novel 2 Test - Videos, Metadata and Annotation<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2022V02> is comprised of 6,200 hours of user-generated videos with annotation and metadata developed by LDC for the 2015 NIST Multimedia Event Detection tasks. The data consists of videos of various events (event videos) and videos completely unrelated to events (background videos). Each event video was manually annotated with judgments describing its event properties and other salient features. Background videos were labeled with topic and genre categories.

The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at University of Surrey invites applications for a place in our MRes in Translation and Interpreting Studies course. Students attending this course get in-depth, systematic research training in translation and interpreting, and customised preparation for a PhD and an academic career. This unique and innovative course is the first of its kind in the UK and draws on the research areas CTS is well known for: translation and interpreting technologies, translation process research, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and multimodality studies. CTS has more recently embarked on exciting, fast-developing areas, including machine translation, Natural Language Processing for translation/interpreting and hybrid workflows in translation/interpreting. The research we carry out at CTS is in touch with recent technological and social developments, as we maintain a strong focus on the responsible integration of technologies in workflows where multilingual and multimodal mediation is key. By studying with us, you'll join our internationally recognised Centre for Translation Studies, thus benefiting from a combination of leading research expertise and professional relevance and honing skills you will need in order to thrive in academia or in the industry. As an MRes student, you will take two compulsory taught modules and select two optional modules (60 credits). You will then complete your degree with an MRes in Translation and Interpreting Studies Dissertation (120 credits). The dissertation, which is longer than a typical MA dissertation, will enable you to research a topic in greater depth than is the case in a conventional MA project format. This year, we invite in particular students interested in pursuing dissertation topics related to machine translation, corpora in translation and interpreting, and the use of NLP for translation and interpreting. For further inspiration, take a look at what our current students say about the course and their MA projects: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/student-life/what-our-students-say/zeynep-polat-po… And for more details about the programme or how to apply visit: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/translation-and-interpreting-studies-… If you feel that an MRes is not for you, you can check our other postgraduate courses on topics related to translation and interpreting at: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/centre-translation-studies/study/postgraduate-cour… --- Prof Constantin Orăsan Professor of Language and Translation Technologies Centre for Translation Studies | School of Literature and Languages Personal page: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/people/constantin-orasan Office: 06LC03, Phone: +44 (0) 1483 68 4115 Library and Learning Centre, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH, UK
