Dear colleague, The last post concerning the upcoming HiTZ webinar included incorrect information about the summary. This email contains the correct information. Apologies for the mix up! We are happy to announce an additional webinar in the Language Technology webinar series organized by the HiTZ research center (Basque Center for Language Technology, http://hitz.eus). Instead of the usual afternoon hour, it will take place at 10:00am CET (June 24). Next webinar: Speaker: Mikel Artetxe (FAIR (Meta AI)) Title: Is scale all you need? Date: Jun 24, 2022, 10:00 CET Summary: Every once in a while, a new language model with gazillion parameters makes a big splash in Twitter, smashing the previous SOTA in some benchmarks or showing some impressive emerging capabilities. While some may argue that scaling will eventually solve NLP, others are skeptical about the scientific value of this trend. In this talk, I will argue that scaling is not just engineering, but also comes with exciting research questions. I will present some of our recent work in the topic, and discuss our efforts to make large language models more accessible for the community. Bio:Mikel Artetxe is a Research Scientist at FAIR (Meta AI). His primary area of research is multilingual NLP. Mikel was one the pioneers of unsupervised machine translation, and has done extensive work on cross-lingual representation learning. More recently, he has also been working on natural language generation, few-shot learning, and large-scale language models. Prior to joining FAIR, Mikel did his PhD at the IXA group at the University of the Basque Country, and interned at DeepMind, FAIR and Google.

*** We apologize for the multiple copies of this email. In case y Dear colleague, We are happy to announce an additional webinar in the Language Technology webinar series organized by the HiTZ research center (Basque Center for Language Technology, http://hitz.eus). Instead of the usual afternoon hour, it will take place at 10:00am CET (June 24). Next webinar: Speaker: Mikel Artetxe (FAIR (Meta AI)) Title: Is scale all you need? Date: Jun 24, 2022, 10:00 CET Summary: The development of advanced spoken language technologies based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) has enabled computers to either learn how to listen or speak. Many applications and services are now available but still support fewer than 100 languages. Nearly 7000 living languages that are spoken by 350 million people remain uncovered. This is because the construction is commonly done based on machine learning trained in a supervised fashion where a large amount of paired speech and corresponding transcription is required. In this talk, we will introduce a semi-supervised learning mechanism based on a machine speech chain framework. First, we describe the primary machine speech chain architecture that learns not only to listen or speak but also to listen while speaking. The framework enables ASR and TTS to teach each other given unpaired data. After that, we describe the use of machine speech chain for code-switching and cross-lingual ASR and TTS of several languages, including low-resourced ethnic languages. Finally, we describe the recent multimodal machine chain that mimics overall human communication to listen while speaking and visualizing. With the support of image captioning and production models, the framework enables ASR and TTS to improve their performance using an image-only dataset. Summary: Every once in a while, a new language model with gazillion parameters makes a big splash in Twitter, smashing the previous SOTA in some benchmarks or showing some impressive emerging capabilities. While some may argue that scaling will eventually solve NLP, others are skeptical about the scientific value of this trend.

Following the conference, LDC's presented papers and posters will be available on the Papers Page.<https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/language-resources/papers/ldc-papers> LDC data and commercial technology development For-profit organizations are reminded that an LDC membership is a pre-requisite for obtaining a commercial license to almost all LDC databases. Non-member organizations, including non-member for-profit organizations, cannot use LDC data to develop or test products for commercialization, nor can they use LDC data in any commercial product or for any commercial purpose. LDC data users should consult corpus-specific license agreements for limitations on the use of certain corpora. Visit the Licensing<https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/data-management/using/licensing> page for further information. 30th Anniversary Highlight: TIMIT The TIMIT Acoustic-Phonetic Continuous Speech Corpus is another of the classic releases in LDC's Catalog. Designed for the acquisition of acoustic-phonetic knowledge and for the development and evaluation of automatic speech recognition systems, it contains recordings of 630 American English speakers each reading 10 phonetically rich sentences, for a total of 6300 utterances comprising 2342 distinct sentences. Data collection and annotation were a joint effort by Texas Instruments, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and SRI International, and the data release was prepared by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). TIMIT was among the first publications that appeared with the launch of LDC's catalog in 1993. It remains one of the Consortium's top ten distributed corpora and may be the single most widely-used speech database. Despite its age and small size relative to modern data sets, TIMIT's wide range of phonetically-representative inputs, its time-aligned lexical and phonemic transcripts, and its easy availability through the LDC Catalog have contributed to its widespread use and continued popularity. Thousands of researchers remember its famous first sentence: "she had your dark suit in greasy wash water all year". LDC continues the TIMIT series with its Global TIMIT project which aims to create a series of corpora in a variety of languages with TIMIT-like features. (Chanchaochai et al., 2018). Data sets published from that project include: Global TIMIT Learner Treebank English, Global TIMIT Learner Simple English, Global TIMIT Mandarin Chinese - Guanzhong Dialect, and Global TIMIT Mandarin Chinese.

[Corpora-List]M3G COST Action Training School on Creative Natural Language Generation - call for applications
by Irene Russo 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

The Multi3Generation COST Action (www.multi3generation.eu) aims at promoting interdisciplinary research in Natural Language Generation, combining computationally-oriented methodology with theories and insights from the humanities (computational linguistics, psychology, media studies, philological and literary studies, etc.) The 2022 Multi3Generation training school on Creative Natural Language Generation wants to foster interdisciplinary collaborations among scholars and young researchers, delivering lectures, hands-on sessions, and keynotes on the state-of-the-art methodologies of Natural Language Generation and (computational) creativity. Automatic generation of texts is an essential task in artificial intelligence and is widely used to produce content shared on the web. However, evaluation of fluency and grammaticality of automatically created texts requires feedback provided by humans to improve the quality of the training data. Collecting judgments is challenging, and the annotation results' reproducibility is sometimes questioned. Evaluation of text generated by computationally creative systems poses further challenges: the output needs to be fluent while ensuring that the content should also take into account the literature about (computational) creativity for analysing creative output. Analysing such creative output relies on the genre of the text and readers' expectations. The training school programme will address research questions such as: - What are the theoretical aspects for evaluating the creativity of artificially generated text? - How crucial is the training set for generating plausible instances, such as for metaphor generation? - Are theoretical insights from literary studies suitable for producing better training sets? The training school is intended for academics at any stage of their career (with priority given to Early Career Investigators), especially if working with literary texts and datasets combining texts with images. The training school will be held at the University Ca' Foscari in Venice from 19 September to 23 September 2022. The training school will take place over 5 days, combining theoretical lessons with hands-on sessions and invited speakers' talks. Invited speakers: Alexandra Balahur (Joint Research Centre European Commission), Mario Montenapoleone (University of Salerno), Carlo Strapparava (FBK), Tony Veale (University College Dublin) Lecturers/Trainees: Khalid Alnajjar (University of Helsinki), Federico Boschetti (CNR-ILC & VeDPH), Mika Hämäläinen (University of Helsinki), Gianluca Lebani (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), Monica Monachini (CNR-ILC & CLARIN-IT), Cristina Mota (INESC-ID Lisboa), Ioannis Pavlopoulos (Athens University of Economics and Business), Max Silberztein (Université de Franche-Comté) Organisers: Irene Russo (CNR-ILC), Federico Boschetti (CNR-ILC & VeDPH), Max Silberztein (Université de Franche-Comté), Khalid Alnajjar (University of Helsinki), Mika Hämäläinen (University of Helsinki) The training school is organised with the support of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities, DSU, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (https://www.unive.it/pag/39287) and with the support of CLARIN-IT (https://clarin-it.it). The application form is available at https://forms.gle/DjGHWsc99ZpkB1yMA Selected participants will receive a grant to attend the training school (see the application form for further details). The deadline for applying is June 30, 2022.
