CFP TAL journal - special issue "Robustness and limitations of natural language processing models"
by Aurélie Névéol 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

[sent on behalf of the special issue editors] Hello all, apologies for the cross-posting. This special issue of the TAL journal calls for papers on the topic of the robustness and limitations of natural language processing (NLP) models (written text). The deadline for submission of articles is 12 May 2023 contrary to what had been announced earlier by mistake. The corrected call is available below. Kind regards, Caio Corro ----- **Robustness and limitations of natural language processing models** This special issue of the TAL journal calls for papers on the topic of the robustness and limitations of natural language processing (NLP) models (written text). Call for submission: http://tal-64-2.sciencesconf.org/ Paper submission deadline : May 12th, 2023 THE TAL JOURNAL Since 1960, ATALA has been publishing the international journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (formerly La Traduction Automatique, then TA Informations), with the support of the CNRS. This journal is published three times a year. The journal is open-access: free to submit, free to publish and free to read. Published articles will be available on the ATALA* website and on the ACL Anthology**. Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit their contributions in French. * https://www.atala.org/revuetal ** aclanthology.org/ GUEST EDITORS - Caio Corro (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LISN) - Gaël Lejeune (Sorbonne Université, STIH) - Vlad Niculae (Language Technology Lab, University of Amsterdam) FOCUS OF THE ISSUE Machine learning methods have made it possible to achieve spectacular results on numerous NLP tasks and benchmarks, giving the impression that many problems related to NLP are "solved" or soon to be solved. Nevertheless, it is still an open question as whether or not these models are really effective, or even usable, in non-controlled environments. This thematic issue of the TAL journal aims at questioning the robustness and limits of modern NLP models, in particular related to the following aspects: 1. "Non-standard" data: the use of models on non-standard data, that is data presenting variations with respect to language (diachronic language variation, diatopic variations, variation in word order, code-switching, user-generated content, inconsistent spelling, accidentally noisy data due to pre-processing, incomplete data, presence of specialized domain vocabulary...). 2. Out-of-domain data: the use of models on data from a different domain that the one seen during training; 3. Linguistic structures unseen during training: compositional generalization [1], structural generalization [2], or generalization related to gender bias [3], among others. Relevant topics for this thematic issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas : - identification and evaluation of linguistic phenomena that are problematic for neural networks and other NLP systems; - analysis and correction of error propagation in NLP systems (cascading error analysis); - feedback on the use of NLP systems that have been found to be non-functional on specific types of data; - critical analysis of datasets used for learning or evaluation; - construction of datasets to evaluate robustness with respect to linguistic variations; - data augmentation to improve robustness; - out-of-domain adaptation or learning with domains that are underrepresented in the data; - neural architectures or training methods that improve robustness. All standard NLP tasks can be considered. Works on other languages than French and English are warmly welcomed. IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission deadline : May 12th, 2023 via https://tal-64-2.sciencesconf.org/ - Notification to the authors after first review : July 2023 - Notification to the authors after second review : November 2023 - Publication : February 2024 LANGUAGE Articles are written in English or French.

Last call for onsite registrations/abstract submissions: Workshop on L2 profiles, Gothenburg, Sweden, 20-21 April
by Elena Volodina 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Workshop on Profiling second language vocabulary and grammar Språkbanken Text<https://spraakbanken.gu.se/> and HumInfra<https://www.huminfra.se/> are organizing a workshop on tools and resources aimed at research on profiling second language vocabulary and grammar, to take place on April 20-21, 2023 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Venue (hybrid mode): Gothenburg, Sweden -- University of Gothenburg, Humanisten<https://www.gu.se/en/humanities>; Dates: 20-21 April, 2023 Deadline for registration (& abstract submission<https://forms.gle/jQ8UnBAp4dx5vEyC8>): 10 March, 2023. (For online attendees without presentations, the registration is possible until April, 18.) Participation is free. For registered onsite participants, lunches and coffee breaks will be offered free of charge. Webpage: https://spraakbanken.gu.se/l2p-2023 We invite researchers and teachers working with or interested in profiling second language lexical, grammatical and other types of competencies to join our workshop. To participate, please, fill in this registration form<https://forms.gle/jQ8UnBAp4dx5vEyC8> by March, 10, 2023. It is not obligatory, but possible to present your work during the workshop. In that case, please, add a short abstract (100-500 words), in the same registration form. We will come back to you with details shortly after March, 10. Some of the topics of interest: * descriptions of existing resources, work-in-progress or planned resources for profiling L2 competences * examples of practical use of such resources * lexical profiles * grammatical profiles * morphological profiles * word families * linguistic complexity studies based on L2 profiles * etc. Some areas of interest: * lexicography * teaching * (Second) Language Acquisition * language assessment * Intelligent Computer-Assisted language learning * Natural Language Processing * language learning app development * etc. Invited speakers * Aleksandrs Berdicevskis<https://sites.google.com/view/sasha-berdicevskis/>, University of Gothenburg, Sweden: We need to know more about relative complexity and learnability * Jelena Kallas<https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jelena-Kallas>, Eesti Keele Instituut, Estonia: Aligning leaners' dictionaries with the CEFR: the case of Estonian Vocabulary and Grammar Profiles * Gabrielle Palotti<http://www.gabrielepallotti.it/engwho.html>, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy: Profiling complexity: methodological issues and applications to L2 morphology * Geraldine Mark, Cardiff University, Wales: Building on insights from the English Grammar Profile: From really good to painfully obvious Description Efforts are made to create electronic resources that could help analyze learner language to feed into research and development projects within Teaching and Didactics, Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Assessment, Lexicography, Intelligent CALL applications, automatic analysis of learner language, automatic exercise generation, course book writing and various applied derivative products, such as learning apps. Such resources, called second language profiles, are research infrastructure components that often focus on second language (L2) learners, covering descriptions/listings of vocabulary, grammar and morphology learners acquire by level of proficiency. We witness the appearance of such resources, e.g. English Profile<https://www.englishprofile.org/>, Teacher's Tools<https://sonaveeb.ee/teacher-tools/#/grammar> for Estonian and Swedish L2 profile<https://spraakbanken.gu.se/larkalabb/svlp>, however, since such resources are quite few and, most importantly, new to users/researchers, we need a forum where we can discuss them, practically test them, explore their possibilities for research together and exchange experiences. In this workshop, through presentations, discussions, demos and hands-on sessions, we intend: (1) to establish some common practices, among others, how to use L2 profiles practically and how to apply them to different research questions (2) to showcase scenarios for using them in research & teaching and outline benefits of their use (3) to exchange experiences and lessons learnt between projects that have created such resources, reflecting on the ways to improve user-friendliness and identifying missing functionalities (4) to inspire other languages to work on similar resources stimulating the creation of a new family of resources. Projects of that kind can hardly be “re-run” to fix errors that are discovered post-factum, and therefore planning such projects “right from the start” is a prerequisite. With the experiences from the L2 profile projects for Swedish, Estonian and English, we intend to offer our expertise (à la "advisory role") and help researchers in other countries set up their projects. Organizers: * Elena Volodina, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden * Therese Lindström Tiedemann, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland * David Alfter, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden Contact: * Elena Volodina < elena dot volodina at svenska dot gu dot se > Feel free to distribute this call to your networks!

Summer Corpus Intensive PreRegistration
by Daniel HENKEL 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

(Texte en français ci-dessous) Thank-you for your request to pre-register or for information regarding the Paris 8 Summer Corpus Intensive. As we receive many more requests than the number of places available, applications will be reviewed first to ensure that we have a group whose interests are largely compatible with one another. We'll keep you informed as soon as possible as to whether your application has been accepted, and how to enroll. Classes will be held at the main Paris 8 campus in St. Denis (Metro station St. Denis Université). The language used in classes will primarily be English, depending on participants' preferences (and language abilities). As we will be working with corpora in both English and French, knowledge of both languages will be an advantage, but not strictly necessary. The overall schedule (subject to modifications between now and June) is roughly as follows: --mornings, 9:30-12:30, we'll start with a plain-text French corpus on Monday, then move to tagged corpora on Tues.-Wednesday, DIY corpus compilation on Wed.-Thurs. --afternoons, 14:00-17:00, the statistics classes will start out with the basics of loading data into R, performing a Chi2 analysis, and will depend to some extent on the work accomplished in the morning sessions and on the interests expressed by participants. --automatic and manual annotation workshops are planned for Thurs.-Fri. Participants should plan bring their own computers and a list of software to pre-install will be sent in late May. *** Merci pour votre demande de pré-inscription et/ou d'informations complémentaires concernant l'école d'été en Linguistique de Corpus de l'Université Paris 8. Étant donné que le nombre de demandes dépasse toujours le nombre de places disponibles, nous chercherons à sélectionner parmi les candidatures un groupe de participants dont les intérêts seront compatibles entre eux. Nous vous tiendrons au courant dès que possible de la suite donnée à votre demande, et des modalités d'inscription. Les séminaires se tiendront au campus principal de l'Université Paris 8 à St. Denis (M. St. Denis Université). Les cours seront dispensés principalement en anglais selon les préférences (et compétences langagières) des participants. Dans la mesure où nous travaillerons sur des corpus en anglais et français, des compétences dans les deux langues pourraient s'avérer utiles mais ne seront pas absolument nécessaires. Le planning provisionnel des séances (sous réserve de modification d'ici juin) sera grosso modo comme suit : --le matin, 9h30-12h30, nous commencerons par l'extraction et la préparation de données à partir d'un corpus de texte brut en français le lundi, puis commencerons à interroger des corpus étiquetés le mardi et le mercredi, pour terminer par des techniques de compilation le mercredi-jeudi. --l'après-midi, 14h00-17h00, les séminaires d'analyse statistique débuteront par l'importation des données dans R, l'analyse Chi2, et dépendront en partie du travail accompli dans les séances matinales et des intérêts exprimés par les participants eux-mêmes. --les ateliers d'annotation automatique et manuelle auront lieu le jeudi-vendredi. Chaque participant devra apporter son propre ordinateur, en ayant installé au préalable une liste de logiciels qui sera communiquée fin mai. Best regards, Meilleures salutations, Daniel Henkel & Dylan Glynn

Call for Participation: 4th Slav-NER Shared Task — Named Entities in Slavic Languages
by Roman Yangarber 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

Call for Participation The 4th Slav-NER Shared Task Named Entities in Slavic Languages — Recognition, Normalization, Classification and Cross-Lingual Linking co-located with Slav-NLP <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/> Workshop, EACL 2023 <https://2023.eacl.org/> http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html> * Task Description * *The 4th Slav-NER Shared Task focuses on Named Entities in Slavic languages.* Due to rich inflection, free word order, derivation, and other phenomena common to the Slavic languages, work on Named Entities poses important challenges. Fostering research & development on the problems of Named Entities — detecting names, lemmatization (normalization), classification, and cross-lingual matching — is crucial for information access and wider use of NLP in Slavic languages. The 4th Slav-NER Shared Task covers three languages: * Czech, * Polish, * Russian. and five types of named entities: * persons, * locations, * organizations, * events, * products. For information about training and test data, guidelines, and participation, please see the Shared Task Home Page <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html>. *IMPORTANT*: Participants are NOT required to perform all tasks or for all languages. For example, a monolingual entry, without lemmatization of the names, can participate. The Shared Task focuses on cross-lingual extraction of named entities — the systems should recognize, classify, and extract all mentions of a name in a document; detecting the position of each name mention is NOT required.
