CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IBERLEF 2023 Task - FinancES. Financial Targeted Sentiment Analysis in Spanish Held as part of iberLEF 2023 <https://sites.google.com/view/iberlef-2023>, a shared evaluation campaign for Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems in Spanish and other Iberian languages September 26th 2023, Jaen Codalab link: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/10052 Dear All, We are inviting researchers and students to participate in the shared-task FinancES. Financial Targeted Sentiment Analysis in Spanish held as part of iberLEF 2023, shared evaluation campaign for Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems in Spanish and other Iberian languages. This shared task aims to explore targeted sentiment analysis in the financial domain. Specifically, the approach adopted here is grounded in the field of microeconomics. In this regard, Bowles (2004) explains the role of economic agents, that is to say, individuals or organizations impacting the economy. The author states that the main microeconomic agents in the capital market are consumers (households/individuals), companies (firms), governments, and central banks. Consequently, in order to develop a sentiment analysis method where different viewpoints are considered, three different perspectives are included: (1) economic target of the news item; (2) individual economic agent: companies; and (3) individual economic agent: consumers –the target is the sector where the economic fact applies, and companies produce the goods and services that households/individuals consume. From these three viewpoints, the news item has an impact on the target and the economic agents which are considered as positive, negative, or neutral. With all, two tasks are proposed. On the one hand, a task combining the challenges of aspect-term extraction for identifying the target entity in text, and aspect-based sentiment classification for determining the sentiment polarity towards the target. On the other hand, a task devoted to assessing the impact of a news headline on both other economic agents, namely, companies and consumers. The participants will be provided development, development_test, training and test datasets in Spanish. The dataset for this task is composed of news headlines written in Spanish collected from digital newspapers specialized in economic, financial and political news. The dataset is labeled with the target entity and the sentiment polarity on three dimensions: target, companies, and consumers. That is, given a headline, it has been manually classified as positive, neutral, or negative for three specific entities: (1) target entity (i.e., the specific company or asset where the economic fact applies), (2) companies (i.e., the entities producing the goods and services that others consume), and (3) consumers (i.e., households/individuals). Each headline was annotated by three members of the organization committee. In case of disagreement, the annotators discussed the special case and, if no agreement was reached, the headline was discarded. During this first step, we compiled about 14k headlines, the headlines with a short length or those that did not specify a target entity were filtered out. The final dataset is composed of 8k-10k news headlines. For the shared tasks, training and test sets will be released (80%-20%). In order to facilitate participation in the competition, a Google Colab notebook has also been provided. In this notebook, it is shown how to load the development dataset and how to train a baseline for both tasks based on SpaCy for the identification of the main economic target and a Bag-of-Words (BoW) with linear regression of the polarity of each dimension. In addition, it is shown how to calculate the final F1-score of each task and how to generate the final submission file.

Call for Papers: Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar (LxGr2022)
by Costas Gabrielatos 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Symposium: Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar (LxGr2022) Call for Papers Deadline for abstract submission: Friday 31 March 2023 The symposium will take place online on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 July 2023. Invited Speaker: Gaëtanelle Gilquin<https://perso.uclouvain.be/gaetanelle.gilquin> (Université catholique de Louvain): Construction grammar and lexico-grammar, and why they matter to each other If you would like to present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding references) to lxgr(a)edgehill.ac.uk<mailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk>. Make sure that the abstract clearly specifies the research focus (research questions or hypotheses), the corpus, the methodology (techniques and metrics), the theoretical orientation, and the main findings. Abstracts will be double-blind reviewed, and decisions will be communicated within four weeks. Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for discussion). Work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes (including 5 minutes for discussion). There will be no parallel sessions. Participation is free. The focus of LxGr is the interaction of lexis and grammar. The focus is influenced by Halliday's view of lexis and grammar as "complementary perspectives" (1991: 32), and his conception of the two as notional ends of a continuum (lexicogrammar), in that "if you interrogate the system grammatically you will get grammar-like answers and if you interrogate it lexically you get lexis-like answers" (1992: 64).

1-year Postdoc position in computational social science at Bocconi. DEADLINE FRIDAY
by Dirk Hovy 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

We are looking for postdocs to work with us on MENTALISM! Over the last decade, discontent in democracy, mistrust in institutions, and the rise of populist parties have strained European societies. Underlying these tensions are often increasing inequalities in Western countries, which fuel the discontent of individuals. The Covid pandemic further exacerbated these problems, as anti-Covid measures taken by governments differently impacted societal groups. The MENTALISM project combines modern social media analysis with traditional survey data to track inequality across Italy through the lens of the pandemic. Our ground-breaking mixed-methods approach uses machine learning and text analysis to trace online grievances in a vast corpus of social media data. We combine these methods with survey protocols and econometric analysis to validate the findings and provide actionable policy advice. MENTALISM combines the advantages of social media data (high-frequency, individual-level information) with the strength of socio-economic surveys (representativeness). Our novel interdisciplinary approach will critically evaluate the value of social media monitoring for policy feedback. Moreover, it will establish protocols for policymakers to better respond to growing grievances brought on by inequality at various steps in the process. Successful candidates will work closely with Profs. Carlo Schwarz (economics), Dirk Hovy (NLP), and the MilaNLP lab. Your profile: a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics/NLP, Machine Learning, Data Science, or related fields. Strong interest in computational social science Excellent programming skills in Python. Additional languages (C++, R, etc) a plus. Fluency in spoken and written English. Knowledge of Italian is NOT a requirement. Knowledge of current neural network models and implementation tools for neural networks (e.g. PyTorch, Tensorflow, Keras, etc.). Experience with publications in top-tier venues in the field of NLP/Computational Linguistics. Position Details: Starting date: March 1 2023, or any time thereafter Duration: 1 year Deadline: 18th February 2023 Salary: 42k EUR p.a. (median salary Milan: 37k EUR). Applicants from outside Italy may qualify for a researcher taxation scheme Date posted: 18th January 2023 How to apply: Go to the Bocconi postdoc job market page <https://jobmarket.unibocconi.eu/?type=a&urlBack=/wps/wcm/connect/bocconi/si…> and search for “BAFFI CAREFIN”.

Call For Papers - InqBnB4
by valentin.richard＠loria.fr 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Greetings, InqBnB4 workshop: Inquisitiveness Below and Beyond the Sentence Boundary Nancy (France), 20 June 2023, hosted by IWCS 2023 https://iwcs2023.loria.fr/inqbnb4-inquisitiveness-below-and-beyond-the-sent… InqBnB is a workshop series bringing together researchers interested in the semantics and pragmatics of interrogatives (questions or embedded interrogative clauses). This series was originally organized by the Inquisitive Semantics Group of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) from the University of Amsterdam. As such, the focus point mainly revolves around analyses using or related to inquisitive semantics. After three successful editions in the Netherlands, we hope to open the inquisitive community to a wider audience. The 4th edition is planned on 20 June 2023, just before IWCS 2023 (Internation Conference on Computational Semantics). As invited speakers we are welcoming Wataru Uegaki (University of Edinburgh) and one other to be announced. InqBnB4 invites submissions on original and unpublished research focussed on the properties of inquisitive content. We are mainly interested in theoretical questions, formal models and empirical work. But we are also welcoming papers based on statistical or neural models, provided their main goal is to bring new insights regarding inquisitiveness. Here are some examples of questions of interest: * Which operators (connectives, quantifiers, modals, conditionals) generate inquisitiveness? * How do these operators project the inquisitive content of their arguments? * e.g. what triggers maximality, exhaustivity or uniqueness of readings? * How does inquisitive content interact with informative content in compositional semantics? * e.g. how do interrogative words interact with negative polarity items, free choice items, indefinites or plurality? * How do conventions of use interact with inquisitive content? * e.g. how can non-answering responses (e.g. clarification questions) be handled? * In which ways is pragmatics sensitive to inquisitive content? * e.g. how does answer bias and ignorance inferences arise? * What kind of discourse anaphora are licensed by inquisitive expressions? * e.g. does dynamic inquisitive semantics manage to correctly derive donkey anaphora? *Submission:* Submission link on SoftConf: https://softconf.com/iwcs2023/inqbnb4/ Sumitted papers must not exceed eight (8) pages (not counting acknowledgement, references and appendices). Accepted papers get an extra page in the camera-ready version. Submitted papers should be formatted following the common two-column structure as used by ACL. Please use the specific style-files or the Overleaf template for IWCS 2023, taken from ACL 2021. Initial submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. The proceedings will be published in the ACL anthology. *Important dates:* * Submission deadline: 14 April * Author notification: 12 May * Camera ready: 9 June * Workshop day: 20 June *Organizers:* * Valentin D. Richard [1], Loria, Universit�� de Lorraine * Philippe de Groote [2], Loria, INRIA Nancy �� Grand Est * Floris Roelofsen [3], ILLC, Universiteit van Amsterdam *Programme committee:* * Local chair: Valentin D.

[PoliticIT@EVALITA2023] Call for participation EVALITA 2023 Task - PoliticIT: Political ideology detection in Italian texts
by Salud María Jiménez Zafra 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION EVALITA 2023 Task - PoliticIT: Political ideology detection in Italian texts Held as part of EVALITA 2023 <https://www.evalita.it/campaigns/evalita-2023/>, a periodic evaluation campaign of Natural Language Processing and speech tools for the Italian language September 7th-8th 2023, Parma Codalab link: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/8507 Dear All, We are inviting researchers and students to participate in the shared-task PoliticIT: Political ideology detection in Italian texts held as part of EVALITA 2023, the evaluation campaign of Natural Language Processing and speech tools for the Italian language. The goal of this task is to extract political ideology information from Italian texts. For this, an automatic document classification task on clusters of texts is proposed. It consists of extracting the self-assigned gender as demographic trait, and the political ideology as a psychographic trait from a set of texts written in Italian from several authors that share those traits. Political ideology is considered as a binary and as a multiclass problem. The PoliticIT shared task is based on a previous task named PoliticES presented at IberLEF 2022 (García-Díaz et. al. 2022b) where the dataset was an extension of the PoliCorpus 2020 dataset (García-Díaz et al., 2022a). The participants will be provided development, development_test, training and test datasets in Italian. The corpus was collected between 2020 and 2022 from the Twitter accounts of politicians in Italy using the UMUCorpusClassifier (García-Díaz et al., 2020). We created clusters of texts mixing some of these extracted tweets in order to prevent ethical and privacy issues about author profiling in Twitter. Consequently, all the clusters are composed of texts written by different users that share all the traits under evaluation. We labelled each cluster with his or her self-assigned gender (male, female) and political spectrum on two axes: binary (left, right) and multiclass (left, moderate_left, moderate_right, right). Moreover, the Twitter mentions of the politicians were anonymised by replacing them with the token @user. In addition, other Twitter accounts mentions were also encoded as @user. Consequently, the text traits cannot be guessed trivially by reading politician's names and searching information on them on the Internet. The dataset is composed of different clusters with around 80-100 tweets. Moreover, in order to facilitate participation in the competition, a Google Colab notebook will be provided. In this notebook, it is shown how to load the development dataset and how to train 3 baselines models based on logistic regression with a simple Bag-of-Words (BoW) model for each trait (self_assigned_gender, ideology_binary and ideology_multiclass). In addition, it is shown how to calculate the final F1-score of each model and how to generate the final submission file.

PhD student position: Neuro-symolic synthesis of communication schemes
by Moa Johansson 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

PhD student position in Neuro-Symbolic Synthesis and Reinforcement Learning In this project we study a new approach to synthesis of efficient communication schemes in multi-agent systems, trained via reinforcement learning. We combine symbolic methods with machine learning, in what is referred to as a neuro-symbolic system, where a neural network learns to produce programs in a symbolic language to solve a task at hand. We believe this combination of neural and symbolic methods will be an important next step in the development of AI beyond todays capabilities. This project is a collaboration between researchers at the division of Data Science and AI<https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/cse/research/dsai/Pages/default.aspx> at Chalmers and the Center for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) at Gothenburg University.
