Several LDC staff members will be presenting current work on topics including WeCanTalk: A New Multi-language, Multi-modal Resource for Speaker Recognition; Reflections on 30 Years of Language Resource Development and Sharing; A Study in Contradiction: Data and Annotation for AIDA Focusing on Informational Conflict in Russia-Ukraine Relations; Data Protection, Privacy and US Regulation; BeSt: The Belief and Sentiment Corpus; and more. Stay tuned for specific announcements on LDC's social media pages regarding presentation times and locations. 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. The LDC Catalog features over 900 holdings in more than 90 languages and more data is added each year. All TIMIT corpora are available for licensing by Consortium members and non-members.

[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.

The 2022 SIGNLL Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2022, Co-located with EMNLP 2022) Website: https://conll.org/ SIGNLL invites submissions to the 26th Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2022). The focus of CoNLL is on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics, rather than on work driven by particular engineering applications. Such approaches include: - Computational learning theory and other techniques for theoretical analysis of machine learning models for NLP - Models of first, second and bilingual language acquisition by humans - Models of language evolution and change - Computational simulation and analysis of findings from psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic experiments - Analysis and interpretation of NLP models, using methods inspired by cognitive science or linguistics or other methods - Data resources, techniques and tools for scientifically-oriented research in computational linguistics - Connections between computational models and formal languages or linguistic theories - Linguistic typology, translation, and other multilingual work - Theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to text generation We welcome work targeting any aspect of language, including: - Speech and phonology - Syntax and morphology - Lexical, compositional and discourse semantics - Dialogue and interactive language use - Sociolinguistics - Multimodal and grounded language learning We do not restrict the topic of submissions to fall into this list. However, the submissions’ relevance to the conference’s focus on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches will play an important role in the review process. Submitted papers must be anonymous and use the EMNLP 2022 template. Submitted papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content plus unlimited space for references. Authors of accepted papers will have an additional page to address reviewers’ comments in the camera-ready version (9 pages of content in total, excluding references). Optional anonymized supplementary materials and a PDF appendix are allowed, according to the EMNLP 2022 guidelines. Please refer to the EMNLP 2022 Call for Papers for more details on the submission format. Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management system. CoNLL adheres to the ACL anonymity policy, as described in the EMNLP 2022 Call for Papers. Briefly, non-anonymized manuscripts submitted to CoNLL cannot be posted to preprint websites such as arXiv or advertised on social media after May 30th, 2022. Multiple submission policy CoNLL 2022 will not accept papers that are currently under submission, or that will be submitted to other meetings or publications, including EMNLP. Papers submitted elsewhere as well as papers that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere will be rejected. Authors submitting more than one paper to CoNLL 2022 must ensure that the submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with each other in content or results. CoNLL 2022 has the same policy as EMNLP 2022 regarding ARR submissions. This means that CoNLL 2022 will also accept submissions of ARR-reviewed papers, provided that the ARR reviews and meta-reviews are available by the ARR commitment deadline. We follow the EMNLP policy for papers that were previously submitted to ARR, or significantly overlap (>25%) with such submissions. Important Dates Anonymity period begins: May 30th, 2022 Submission deadline for START direct submissions: Thursday June 30th, 2022 Commitment deadline for ARR papers: August 1st, 2022 Notification of acceptance: Mid-September, 2022 Camera ready papers due: October 15th, 2022 Conference: December 7th, 8th, 2022 All deadlines are at 11:59pm UTC-12h ("anywhere on earth").
