*Apologies for crossposting* LLMs Beyond the Cutoff: 1st International Workshop on Computational Methods Beyond the Temporal Borders of Training Data https://llmsbeyondthecutoff2024.wordpress.com Collocated with CIKM 2024 October 25, 2024 — Boise (Idaho), USA * July 29, 2024: Paper submission deadline * August 30, 2024: Paper acceptance notification * September 15, 2024: Camera ready versions submission * October 25, 2024: Workshop date === NEWS === * LLMs Beyond the CutOff will be published as a volume of Springer Nature’s post-proceedings * Submission via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=llmsbeyondthecut0ff * Springer guidelines for authors: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… SUMMARY LLMs are trained on large amounts of web data that spread temporally up to a specific moment in time. For instance, chatGPT’s LLM “knows” the world before May 2023 with no real time access to information beyond this limit, other than a browsing tool similar to a search engine enabling simple lookup. However, in many scenarios, being able to analyze and reason with novel emerging events and topics is crucial to face the challenges of rapidly evolving landscapes of information. The workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for discussing the temporal limitations of LLMs and proposing technical solutions of how to apply and develop LLMs beyond their cutoff dates. We explore two prominent scenarios, where contexts tend to evolve faster than the LLMs that are used to analyze them: (1) journalism and (2) industry. In terms of (1) the goal is to propose methods of detecting, classifying and reasoning with emerging topics that infuse public discourse on social or mainstream media. An example of such a topic is COVID-19 at the dawn of the pandemics outbreak. Downstream tasks of interest are fake news detection and fact-checking on novel topics, including claim analysis, opinion mining and narratives extraction. With regard to (2), the goal is to shed light on the limits of LLMs for companies in sectors such as international geopolitical monitoring and corporate intelligence, finance and stock market trading or insurance, where companies need to track their interests and products in real time. This does not address the inclusion of corporate data into the LLMs, but rather proposes solutions by using publicly available and constantly growing data. An overarching problem that will be studied is that of the cross-language and cross-country specificities of emerging data, where novel information in underrepresented languages or contexts may be more challenging to analyze. We welcome insights and parallels from the field of knowledge representation, where the similar problem with cutoff dates of knowledge graphs (dynamics and regular updates) is well understood. The expected outcomes are: 1) insights on the temporal limitations of LLMs, where the workshop will outline concrete challenges and bottlenecks in the identified scenarios; 2) novel methodological and technical solutions in terms of (incremental) machine learning models when dealing with (reasoning, extracting and classifying) information beyond the cutoff dates of current LLMs. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Analysis of emerging topics and events, including counterfactual/what-if reasoning * Methods for few-shot or zero-shot learning * Large language models for online discourse * Large language models for corporate near real-time data analysis * Large language models for multimodal understanding and generation * Multilingual and cross-country emerging information extraction * Computational journalism, disinformation spread, fact-checking and fake news detection * Stance and viewpoint discovery for novel information * Detection and classification of claims within emerging narratives * Social, ethical and legal aspects of LLMs up-to-dateness * Interpretability / explainability of computational methods beyond the cut off * Linking and enrichment of data beyond LLM cut off * Foundational models for knowledge graph building and entity alignment * Recommender systems for novel information * Quality, provenance, uncertainty and trust of emerging information and data * Use-cases, applications and cross-community interfaces * Evaluation frameworks and benchmarks SUBMISSION We welcome the following types of contributions: * Full papers (12-15 pages including references): contain original research. * Short papers (up to 11 pages including references): contain original research in progress. * Demo papers (up to 11 pages including references): contain descriptions of prototypes, demos or software systems. * Data papers (up to 11 pages including references): contain descriptions of resources related to the workshop topics, such as datasets, knowledge graphs, corpora, annotation protocols, etc. * Position papers (up to 11 pages including references): discuss vision statements or research directions.

22 Aug '24

Neural language models have revolutionised natural language processing (NLP) and have provided state-of-the-art results for many tasks. However, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the pre-training resources. Therefore, language models (LMs) often struggle with low-resource languages in both training and evaluation. Recently, there has been a growing trend in developing and adopting LMs for low-resource languages. LoResLM aims to provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work on LMs for low-resource languages. >> Topics LoResLM 2025 invites submissions on a broad range of topics related to the development and evaluation of neural language models for low-resource languages, including but not limited to the following. * Building language models for low-resource languages. * Adapting/extending existing language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Corpora creation and curation technologies for training language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Benchmarks to evaluate language models/large language models in low-resource languages. * Prompting/in-context learning strategies for low-resource languages with large language models. * Review of available corpora to train/fine-tune language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Multilingual/cross-lingual language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Applications of language models/large language models for low-resource languages (i.e. machine translation, chatbots, content moderation, etc. >> Important Dates * Paper submission due – 5th November 2024 * Notification of acceptance – 25th November 2024 * Camera-ready due – 13th December 2024 * LoResLM 2025 workshop – 19th / 20th January 2025 co-located with COLING 2025 >> Submission Guidelines We follow the COLING 2025 standards for submission format and guidelines.

Call for papers: Building and Using Comparable Corpora workshop at COLING'25
by s.sharoff＠leeds.ac.uk 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

18th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA WITH SHARED TASK ON MULTILINGUAL TERMINOLOGY EXTRACTION FROM COMPARABLE CORPORA Co-located with COLING 2025 (Abu Dhabi) Paper submission deadline: 30 November, 2024 Workshop website: https://comparable.lisn.upsaclay.fr/bucc2025/ COLING website: https://coling2025.org/ Keynote speaker: Preslav Nakov, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, Abu Dhabi ************************************************************** * Motivation In the language engineering and linguistics communities, research in comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language engineering, on the one hand, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications such as statistical and neural machine translation or cross-lingual retrieval. In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest because they enable cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that comparable corpora consist of documents that are comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions across several languages. Parallel corpora are on the one end of this spectrum, and unrelated corpora are on the other. In recent years, the use of comparable corpora for pre-training Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to their impressive multilingual and cross-lingual abilities, which are relevant to a range of applications, including Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, Cross-lingual text classification, etc. The linguistic definitions and observations related to comparable corpora can improve methods to mine such corpora or to improve cross-lingual transfer of LLMs. Therefore, it is of great interest to bring together builders and users of such corpora. * Shared Task This year we will run a shared task aimed at detecting translations of terms via comparable corpora. Please see the website for details: https://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2025/bucc2025-task.html * Topics We solicit contributions on all topics related to comparable (and parallel) corpora, including but not limited to the following: Building Comparable Corpora: - Automatic and semi-automatic methods - Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the web - Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora - Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora - Rare and minority languages, across language families - Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora Applications of comparable corpora: - Human translation - Language learning - Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization - Bilingual and multilingual projections - (Unsupervised) Machine translation - Writing assistance - Machine learning techniques using comparable corpora Mining from Comparable Corpora: - Cross-language distributional semantics, word embeddings and pre-trained multilingual transformer models - Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable corpora - Methods to derive parallel from non-parallel corpora (e.g. to provide for low-resource languages in neural machine translation) - Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single words, multi-word expressions, proper names, named entities, sentences, and paraphrases from comparable corpora, etc. - Induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from comparable corpora - Induction of multilingual word classes from comparable corpora Comparable Corpora in the Humanities: - Comparing linguistic phenomena across languages in contrastive linguistics - Analyzing properties of translated language in translation studies - Studying language change over time in diachronic linguistics - Assigning texts to authors via authors' corpora in forensic linguistics - Comparing rhetorical features in discourse analysis - Studying cultural differences in sociolinguistics - Analyzing language universals in typological research * Workshop Organizers - Serge Sharoff (University of Leeds) - Ayla Rigouts Terryn (Université de Montréal (UdeM), Mila) - Pierre Zweigenbaum (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LISN, Orsay) - Reinhard Rapp (University of Mainz, Germany) * Program Committee - Ebrahim Ansari (Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, Iran) - Eleftherios Avramidis (DFKI, Germany) - Gabriel Bernier-Colborne (National Research Council, Canada) - Thierry Etchegoyhen (Vicomtech, Spain) - Alex Fraser (University of Munich, Germany) - Natalia Grabar (University of Lille, France) - Amal Haddad Haddad (Universidad de Granada, Spain) - Amir Hazem (University of Tokyo, Japan) - Kyo Kageura (University of Tokyo, Japan) - Natalie Kübler (Université Paris Cité, France) - Philippe Langlais (Université de Montréal, Canada) - Yves Lepage (Waseda University, Japan). - Shervin Malmasi (Amazon, USA) - Michael Mohler (Language Computer Corporation, USA) - Emmanuel Morin (Nantes Université, France) - Dragos Stefan Munteanu (RWS, USA) - Ted Pedersen (University of Minnesota, Duluth, USA) - Nasredine Semmar (CEA LIST, Paris, France) - Silvia Severini (Leonardo Labs, Italy) - Pranaydeep Singh (University of Gent, Belgium) - Richard Sproat (Google, USA) - Marko Tadić (University of Zagreb, Croatia) - François Yvon (Sorbonne Université, France)
