ReproNLP 2023 Shared Task on Reproducibility of Evaluations in NLP: First Call for Participation
by a belz 25 May '23

25 May '23

ReproNLP 2023: First Call for ParticipationBackground Across Natural Language Processing (NLP), a growing body of work is exploring the issue of reproducibility in machine learning contexts. The field is currently far from having a generally agreed tool box of methods for defining and assessing reproducibility. Reproducibility of results of human evaluation experiments is particularly under-addressed which is of concern for areas of NLP where human evaluation is common including e.g. MT, text generation and summarisation. More generally, human evaluations provide the benchmarks against which automatic evaluation methods are assessed across NLP. We previously organised the First ReproGen Shared Task <https://reprogen.github.io/2021/> on reproducibility of human evaluations in NLG as part of Generation Challenges (GenChal) at INLG’21, and the Second ReproGen Shared Task <https://reprogen.github.io/> at INLG’22, where we extended the scope to encompass automatic evaluation methods as well as human. This year we are expanding the scope of the shared task series to encompass all NLP tasks, renaming it the ReproNLP Shared Task on Reproducibility of Evaluations in NLP. This year we are focussing on human evaluations, and the results session will be held at the 3rd Workshop on Human Evaluation of NLP Systems (HumEval 2023) <https://humeval.github.io/> . As with the ReproGen shared tasks, our overall aim is (i) to shed light on the extent to which past NLP evaluations have been reproducible, and (ii) to draw conclusions regarding how NLP evaluations can be designed and reported to increase reproducibility. If the task is run over several years, we hope to be able to document an overall increase in levels of reproducibility over time. About ReproNLP ReproNLP has three tracks, one an ‘unshared task’ in which teams attempt to reproduce their own prior evaluation results (Track B below), the others standard shared tasks in which teams repeat existing evaluation studies with the aim of reproducing their results (Tracks A and C): A. Legacy Reproducibility Track: For a shared set of selected evaluation studies from ReproGen 2022 (see below), participants repeat one or more of the studies, and attempt to reproduce their results. As in ReproGen, participants will be given additional information and resources (beyond what is in the published papers) about experimental details by the ReproNLP organisers. B. RYO Track: Reproduce Your Own previous evaluation results, and report what happened. Unshared task. C. ReproHum Track: For a shared set of selected evaluation studies from the ReproHum Project <https://reprohum.github.io/>, participants repeat one or more of the studies, and attempt to reproduce their results, using information provided by the ReproNLP organisers only, and following a common reproduction approach. Track A Papers We have selected the papers listed below for inclusion in ReproNLP Track A (these are the same papers as in Track A in ReproGen 2022). The authors have agreed to evaluation studies from their papers as identified below being used for Track A, and have provided the system outputs to be evaluated and any reusable tools that were used in the original evaluations. We also have available completed ReproGen Human Evaluation Sheets which we will use as the standard for establishing similarity between different human evaluation studies. The papers and studies, with many thanks to the authors for supporting ReproGen, are: van der Lee et al. (2017): PASS: A Dutch data-to-text system for soccer, targeted towards specific audiences: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-3513.pdf [1 evaluation study; Dutch; 20 evaluators; 1 quality criterion; reproduction target: primary scores] Dušek et al.

Call for Papers: INLG/SIGDIAL Workshop on Multimodal, Multilingual NLG
by Claire Gardent 25 May '23

25 May '23

===================================================================== Workshop on Multimodal, Multilingual Natural Language Generation In conjunction with INLG/SIGDIAL 2023 ===================================================================== Prague, 12 September, 2023 https://synalp.gitlabpages.inria.fr/mmnlg2023/ ====================================================================== We invite the submission of long and short papers for the first Workshop on Muiltimodal, Multilingual NLG (MM-NLG), which will be held in Prague, in conjunction with the joint meetings of the 16th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2023) and the 24th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGDial 2023). Workshop goals and topics This event aims to bring together researchers working on text generation from multimodal input data. The workshop also emphasises multilinguality as an ongoing, open challenge for text generation methods, especially for languages which are relatively under-resourced. We therefore invite papers on all topics related to text generation from multimodal inputs, multilingual text generation, or a combination of the two. We welcome submissions which focus on multimodal and/or multilingual generation in both dialogue and non-interactive settings. NLG and multimodal inputs ========================== By Multimodal NLG, we intend to capture a broad variety of input data types and formats from which text can be generated using neural, statistical or rule-based methods. For example, while several contemporary NLG models generate based on textual prompts or prefixes, others rely on structured inputs which can take the form of `flat' semantic representations, RDF triples, etc. In a different vein, vision-to-text models generate captions, paragraphs or short narratives from visual inputs such as images or video. Finally, there is a long tradition in data-to-text NLG which seeks to generate text from numerical or other, less structured inputs. The sheer diversity is also reflected in the broad range of datasets available for training and evaluating NLG models. This workshop will provide a forum to discuss NLG research based on any input modality, fostering a debate on the directions in which the field has developed, and especially the relationship between different NLG tasks, as characterised by the variety of possible inputs, among others. NLG and multilingual outputs ============================ As the field has become increasingly dominated by large, pretrained language models, it has become increasingly evident that not all languages are on a level playing field. For example, when training data is opportunistically sourced from the web, data for certain languages is often very limited, and highly noisy. On the other hand, developing curated multilingual data for under-represented languages is very challenging, as some recent efforts (for example, the BLOOM model) have shown. This workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers to discuss challenges and report on recent work targeting NLG in multiple languages, including, but not limited to, data-lean scenarios, where transfer learning, few-shot and zero-shot approaches would be expected to play an important role. Workshop format =============== This one-day workshop will consist of an oral and a poster session, together with a special session The oral session will feature talks by two invited speakers, as well as regular paper presentations. The workshop will be hybrid. We encourage all participants to be present, but will provide online access for those who are unable, or prefer not to travel. Special session: WebNLG Challenge on Under-Resourced Languages ========================================================= In line with the goals of MM-NLG, the workshop will include a special session dedicated to the recently launched, ongoing WebNLG 2023 Challenge, which focuses on generation for under-resourced languages in few-shot and zero-shot settings. More info here: https://synalp.gitlabpages.inria.fr/webnlg-challenge/challenge_2023/ Submission formats =================== We solicit two kinds of papers: - Long papers must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of ethical considerations, supplementary material statements, and references. - Short papers must not exceed four (4) pages, plus unlimited pages of ethical considerations, supplementary material statements, and references. Submissions should follow ACL Author Guidelines and policies for submission, review and citation, and be anonymised for double blind reviewing. See https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Author_Guidelines Please use ACL 2023 style files; LaTeX style files and Microsoft Word templates are available at https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/style_and_formatting Authors must honour the ethical code set out in the ACL Code of Ethics, available at https://www.aclweb.org/portal/content/acl-code-ethics If your work raises any ethical issues, you should include an explicit discussion of those issues. This will also be taken into account in the review process. You may find this checklist of use: https://aclrollingreview.org/responsibleNLPresearch/ Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure that their work is reproducible; see, e.g., the reproducibility checklist at https://2021.aclweb.org/calls/reproducibility-checklist/ Papers involving any kind of experimental results (human judgments, system outputs, etc) should incorporate a data availability statement into their paper. Authors are asked to indicate whether the data is made publicly available. If the data is not made available, authors should provide a brief explanation why. (E.g. because the data contains proprietary information.) A statement guide is available on the INLG 2023 website. Paper submission ================= The workshop will only accept direct submissions. Submissions can be made to the MM-NLG START website: https://softconf.com/n/mmnlg2023/ Accepted papers will be published in the Workshop proceedings on the ACL Anthology. Important dates ================ - Deadline for long and short papers: 16 July, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: 6 August, 2023 - Deadline for camera-ready papers: 14 August, 2023 - MM-NLG Workshop: 12 September, 2023 Organising committee ====================== Anya Belz, ADAPT, Dublin City University, Ireland Claudia Borg, University of Malta, Malta Liam Cripwell, CNRS/LORIA and Lorraine University, France Aykut Erdem, Koc University, Turkey Erkut Erdem, Hacettepe University, Turkey Claire Gardent, CNRS/LORIA, France Albert Gatt, Utrecht University, The Netherlands John Judge, ADAPT, Dublin City University, Ireland William Soto-Martinez, CNRS/LORIA and Lorraine University, France Support and acknowledgements ============================ This workshop is a joint initiative which has received the support of the following projects: - LT-Bridge funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Work Programme Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation (WIDESPREAD) 2018-2020 Grant No. 952194 https://lt-bridge.eu/ - The xNLG AI Chair on Multilingual, Multi-Source Text Generation funded by the French National Research Agency (Gardent; ANR-20-CHIA-0003), Meta and the Region Grand Est https://members.loria.fr/CGardent/xnlg.html - Multi3Generation: Multimodal, Multi-task, Multi-Lingual Natural Language Generation COST Action CA18231 https://multi3generation.eu/ -- Senior Scientist at CNRS LORIA, Nancy (France) https://members.loria.fr/CGardent/

Surface Syntactic Universal Dependencies, release of version 2.12
by Bruno Guillaume 25 May '23

25 May '23

We are happy to announce the release of version 2.12 of SUD (Surface Syntactic Universal Dependencies, see https://surfacesyntacticud.github.io/) 244 treebanks are available (https://grew.fr/download/sud-treebanks-v2.12.tgz): 8 are native SUD corpora and 236 are automatically converted from UD v2.12. See https://surfacesyntacticud.github.io/data/ for details. All 2.12 corpora of UD and SUD are availble on Grew-match: https://universal.grew.fr <https://universal.grew.fr/> A set of “Universal tables”, giving a global view of usage of features, dependency relations in UD and SUD treebanks, are available on https://tables.grew.fr <https://tables.grew.fr/> See the UD announcement <https://list.elra.info/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/corpora@list.elra.info/thre…> for more information about corpora and contributors. SUD is characterized by its distributional and functional head and the syntactic relation corresponding to positional paradigms. SUD offers several advantages for various studies, particularly in the areas of phrase structure, word order, and typology. For example, UD may present challenges in identifying noun phrases (NPs) since adpositions depend on nouns or in discussing subject-auxiliary order since the subject is directly linked to the lexical verb. It is important to note that the transformation from UD to SUD is accomplished using a universal Grew grammar that incorporates a set of heuristics. One such heuristic is that the most distant functional words dominate the nearest functional words to the lexical head. While this heuristic has proven effective in many cases, there are exceptions. As a result, specific grammars have been developed for languages such as German or Wolof. We encourage you to report any issues on the SUD GitHub repository <https://github.com/surfacesyntacticud/guidelines/issues>, and we will be in touch to collaborate on the development of specific grammars if needed. If you plan to develop a new UD treebank, you can consider to start a native SUD treebank, especially if you are familiar with standard syntactic theories. If you already have a treebank in a different annotation scheme (including phrase-structure based annotation), it can be simpler to first convert it in SUD and then in UD. In any case, you can contact us. <https://notes.inria.fr/l3Wgvt8LTm22PtyBBF6tpg#references-about-sud>References about SUD Kim Gerdes, Bruno Guillaume, Sylvain Kahane, Guy Perrier.

This type of analysis allows us to identify and monitor health issues that arise due to the interactions between these three areas. However, it is challenging due to: (1) the multi-modality of the data (e.g., unstructured, imaging, semantic, spatial, temporal, among others); and (2) the difficulty in choosing the "most appropriate” knowledge discovery process according to specific field needs (e.g., animal, plant or human health; crisis and disaster surveillance). > > > TOPICS OF INTEREST > ---------------------------------- > > EnGeoData 2023 has a broad scope.
