[Corpora-List]1st CfP: 3rd Workshop on Processing Figurative Language (FigLang '22)
by Beigman Klebanov, Beata 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

The main focus is on computational modeling of figurative language using state-of-the-art NLP techniques. However, papers on cognitive, linguistic, social, rhetorical, and applied aspects are also of interest, provided that they are presented within a computational, formal, or a quantitative framework. In addition, we will hold two shared tasks: grounded understanding of figurative language and euphemism detection. The workshop is co-located with EMNLP 2022. Paper submission deadline: September 7, 2022. For more information about topics, dates, and types of papers, please visit https://sites.google.com/view/figlang2022. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.

The workshop provides a discussion panel for researchers working on MT systems/methods for low-resource and under-represented languages in general. We would like to help review/overview the state of MT for low-resource languages and define the most important directions. We also solicit papers dedicated to supplementary NLP tools that are used in any language and especially in low-resource languages. Overview papers of these NLP tools are very welcome. It will be beneficial if the evaluations of these tools in research papers include their impact on the quality of MT output. TOPICS We are highly interested in (1) original research papers, (2) review/opinion papers, and (3) online systems on the topics below; however, we welcome all novel ideas that cover research on low-resource languages. - COVID-related corpora, their translations and corresponding NLP/MT systems - Neural machine translation for low-resource languages - Work that presents online systems for practical use by native speakers - Word tokenizers/de-tokenizers for specific languages - Word/morpheme segmenters for specific languages - Alignment/Re-ordering tools for specific language pairs - Use of morphology analyzers and/or morpheme segmenters in MT - Multilingual/cross-lingual NLP tools for MT - Corpora creation and curation technologies for low-resource languages - Review of available parallel corpora for low-resource languages - Research and review papers of MT methods for low-resource languages - MT systems/methods (e.g. rule-based, SMT, NMT) for low-resource languages - Pivot MT for low-resource languages - Zero-shot MT for low-resource languages - Fast building of MT systems for low-resource languages - Re-usability of existing MT systems for low-resource languages - Machine translation for language preservation SUBMISSION INFORMATION We are soliciting two types of submissions: (1) research, review, and position papers and (2) system demonstration papers. For research, review and position papers, the length of each paper should be at least four (4) and not exceed eight (8) pages, plus unlimited pages for references. For system demonstration papers, the limit is four (4) pages. Submissions should be formatted according to the official COLING 2022 style templates (LaTeX, Word, Overleaf). Accepted papers will be published online in the COLING 2022 proceedings and will be presented at the conference. Submissions must be anonymized and should be done using the official conference management system ( https://www.softconf.com/coling2022/LoResMT_2022/). Scientific papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must be declared as such and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted and published at LoResMT. The review will be double-blind. We would like to encourage authors to cite papers written in ANY language that are related to the topics, as long as both original bibliographic items and their corresponding English translations are provided. Registration is handled by the main conference ( https://coling2022.org/coling). ORGANIZING COMMITTEE (LISTED ALPHABETICALLY) Atul Kr.

[Corpora-List]Call for Papers: The 2022 SIGNLL Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2022)
by jackh＠allenai.org 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

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").
