Final CfP: Workshop on Individual Differences in Pragmatics and Discourse (IndiPRAG)
by Jia Loy 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Final call for submissions for the Workshop on Individual Differences in Pragmatics and Discourse (IndiPRAG). Important dates: Submission deadline: 1st May 2023 Notification date: 5th June 2023 Workshop dates: 18th September (all day) and 19th September (morning) 2023 Workshop venue: Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany (the workshop is collocated with XPRAG in Paris, 20th-23rd September) ** Call for submissions: Experimental research in pragmatics and discourse processing has consistently found that not all comprehenders behave the same: while some seem to draw rich pragmatic inferences, others respond in a way that is more consistent with a literal interpretation (Fairchild & Papafragou, 2021; Mayn & Demberg, 2022). Similarly for discourse inference, experiments have found differences with respect to the sensitivity to discourse cues and the readiness for discourse predictions between participants (Scholman, Demberg & Sanders, 2020; Tskhovrebova, Zufferey & Gygax, 2022). This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring individual differences at the level of pragmatics and discourse, as well as methods for relating those differences to cognitive properties, and approaches for modelling the mechanism driving the individual differences effects. IndiPRAG Workshop invites submissions of abstracts addressing the following questions: - To what extent do pragmatic processing and discourse inferences differ between individuals? - How consistent are interpretation biases across different types of pragmatic implicatures? - What individual difference measures are particularly suitable for measuring IDs related to pragmatic processing? - How can we computationally model individual differences in discourse and pragmatics? - What statistical methods are best suited to identifying latent groups of participants and relating ID measures to task performance? ** Formatting guidelines: The abstracts must not exceed 1000 words for the text (excl. captions), 10000 characters for references, 2 figures. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides and 12 point font size, single-spaced. Please indicate up to three appropriate keywords for your abstract, which will be used for session planning. Abstracts must be written in English and should include a title but no information revealing the author(s). We welcome submissions for work that is being considered by other conferences, workshops, or journals. Submissions should be handed in via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=indiprag2023 ** We will have invited talks by: Kirsten Abbot-Smith, University of Kent Morten Christiansen, Cornell University Craig Hedge, Aston University Petra Hendriks, University of Groningen Antje Meyer & Florian Hintz, MPI for Psycholinguistics Nijmegen ** IndiPRAG is being organised by: Vera Demberg, Jia Loy, Alexandra Mayn, Dongqi Pu, Margarita Ryzhova, Merel Scholman, Sebastian Schuster You can contact us at: indiprag(a)lst.uni-saarland.de

National project reports need not be anonymised. Submissions are accepted through the EasyChair submission system, athttps://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmlc11. Please note that each CMLC event produces a volume of proceedings (published in Open Access before the meeting), where both oral and poster contributions have equal status./All/final submissions to the 2023 proceedings volume will be expected to be formatted according to theACLPUB guidelines <https://acl-org.github.io/ACLPUB/formatting.html>and to pass theaclpubcheck <https://github.com/acl-org/aclpubcheck>. Workshop description The upcoming CMLC meeting continues the successful series of “Challenges in the management of large corpora” events, previously hosted at LREC (since 2012) and CL (since 2015) conferences. As in the previous meetings, we wish to explore common areas of interest across a range of issues in language resource management, corpus linguistics, natural language processing, and data science. Large textual datasets require careful design, collection, cleaning, encoding, annotation, storage, retrieval, and curation to be of use for a wide range of research questions and to users across a number of disciplines. A growing number of national and other very large corpora are being made available, many historical archives are being digitised, numerous publishing houses are opening their textual assets for text mining, and many billions of words can be quickly sourced from the web and online social media. A number of key themes and questions emerge of interest to the contributing research communities: (a) what can be done to deal with IPR and data protection issues? (b) what sampling techniques can we apply? (c) what quality issues should we be aware of? (d) what infrastructures and frameworks are being developed for the efficient storage, annotation, analysis and retrieval of large datasets? (e) what affordances do visualisation techniques offer for the exploratory analysis approaches of corpora? (f) what kinds of APIs or other means of access would make the corpus data as widely usable as possible without interfering with legal restrictions? (g) how to guarantee that corpus data remain available and usable in a sustainable way? Motivation and topics of interest This year’s event will cover the entire range of the standard CMLC themes, with some new additions: * New and hot topics o Language Models + What linguistic insights can we gain by post-hoc language model analysis in the age of ChatGPT? + How can we avoid the proliferation of stereotypes in terms of both linguistic surface form and content when using language models for linguistic analysis? o Societal and legal issues relevant for corpora and studies + political and sociological balance ○ social media bubbles, hate speech and fake news + proliferation of stereotypes via corpora and language models + corpora as archives of the past: evolution in mentalities or laws, personality rights o How to make corpora as accessible as possible despite big data issues, application heterogeneity, and IPR issues + What are the most interesting APIs and libraries to build, analyse and access very large corpora? + How can we get us researchers to use existing research tools, infrastructures, libraries and APIs in research and teaching? * Linguistic content challenges o Dealing with the variety of language resources: multilinguality, historical texts, noisy OCR texts, user-generated content, etc. o Integration of human computation (crowdsourcing) and automatic annotation o Quality management of annotations * Technical challenges o Storage and retrieval solutions for big textual data corpora: primary data, metadata, and annotation data o Scalable and efficient NLP tooling for annotating and analysing large datasets: distributed and GPGPU computing; using big data analysis frameworks for language processing o Dealing with streaming (e.g. Social Media) and rapidly changing underlying data * Exploitation challenges o Legal and privacy issues o Query languages, data models, and standardisation o Licensing models of open and closed data, coping with intellectual property restrictions o Innovative approaches for aggregation and visualisation of text analytics In the tradition of CMLC, we invite reports on national corpus initiatives; submitters of these reports should be prepared to present a poster along with a short presentation.

Proposed tasks can be in the area of core NLG, or in other research areas in which language is generated. Examples include, but are not limited to: data-to-text NLG, text-to-text generation (including MT and summarisation), combining core NLG and MT, combining core NLG and text summarisation, NLG quality estimation, NLG evaluation metrics, and/or generating language from heterogeneous data, including image and video. The Generation Challenges (GenChal) are an umbrella event designed to bring together a variety of shared-task efforts that involve the generation of natural language. This year, Generation Challenges will be held during a special session at the 16th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2023 <https://inlg2023.github.io/>), scheduled on September 11-15 2023. The session will follow the format of previous GenChal results sessions, with presentations of results by the organisers of the generation challenges that are currently running, a poster session for task participants to present their submissions, as well as presentations of proposals for new shared tasks in the Task Proposals Track, and discussion sessions. You can see the previous GenChal tasks on the dedicated repository <https://sites.google.com/view/genchalrepository/home>. Submissions should describe possible future tasks in detail, including information regarding organisers, task description, motivating theoretical interest and/or application context, size and state of completion of data to be used, schedule and evaluation plans. Accepted shared tasks will be run in the 2024 iteration of INLG. Important dates (the dates on the website will be updated soon) - Submission deadline: June 5th 2023 - Notification: July 11th 2023 - Camera-ready submission: July 25th 2023 - INLG conference: September 11th-15th 2023 All deadlines are 11.59 pm UTC -12h ("anywhere on Earth").

24 Apr '23

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice on UAM Corpus Tool. When I try to use the 'Menu-driven search' function on UAMCT3.3m I get this error message: Error: Program crashed during download of tag param file and after closing that window: Error: Problem with Search.showInstance additionally, in the Opening CQL Search Window: Setting up search... Starting search of 2 documents ('+' for each document) ++Program crashed: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() I have also tried with UAMCT6.2j (which version do you suggest using?) and I got a different error message: Error: Error: ERROR in parsing segment spec: unknown feature or layer name: Entity I think I have TreeTagger correctly installed because it works when I run it from the Command Prompt. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you in advance! Best regards, Eleonora

TESTLINK evaluation task [apologies for cross-posting] Call for participation We invite you to participate in the TESTLINK task on the extraction of relations from clinical cases. The task mainly consists in identifying test results and measurements and linking them to the textual mentions of the laboratory tests and measurements from which they were obtained. As in example (1) below: 1. Dicho paciente había sido sometido un año antes a una [biopsia] transrectal de próstata ecodirigida por sextantes que fue {negativa}. Biopsia (test) – negativa (result) TESTLINK (https://e3c.fbk.eu/testlinkiberlef) is organised in the context of IberLEF 2023 and proposes three different challenges: two tasks on monolingual datasets in Spanish and Basque and a third one requiring a multilingual approach. The evaluation task has been set up in Codalab ( https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/12622). Participants are invited to submit their annotated file for evaluation through it. Each team is allowed to submit 2 runs. Assessment will be performed manually and the results will be posted and notified to the participants at the end of the evaluation period. The datasets of all the challenges are based on the European Clinical Case Corpus (E3C), which consists of clinical cases in five European languages and is freely available (CC-BY-NC-4.0). Remember that the twin challenge CLINKART is also on! CLINKART ( https://e3c.fbk.eu/clinkart) is organised in the context of Evalita 2023 and focuses on Italian. Training data is already available and the evaluation period will start shortly. Join us in one or many of the proposed challenges! The TESTLINK organisation team
