[PoliticES@IberLEF2023] Call for participation IberLEF 2023 Task - PoliticEs: Political ideology detection in Spanish texts
by Salud María Jiménez Zafra 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IberLEF 2023 Task - PoliticEs: Political ideology detection in Spanish texts Held as part of the evaluation forum IberLEF 2023 <https://sites.google.com/view/iberlef-2023> in the XXXIX edition of the International Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing (SEPLN 2023 <http://sepln2023.sepln.org/en/home/>) September 26, 2023. Jaén, Andalusia, Spain Codalab link: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/10173 Dear All, We are inviting researchers and students to participate in the shared-task PoliticEs 2023: Political ideology detection in Spanish texts, held as part of IberLEF 2023, the shared evaluation campaign for Natural Language Processing systems in Spanish and other Iberian languages, collocated with SEPLN 2023 Conference. The goal of this task is to extract political ideology information from Spanish texts. For this, an automatic document classification task on clusters of texts is proposed. It consists of extracting the self-assigned gender and profession as demographic traits, and the political ideology as a psychographic trait from a set of texts written in Spanish from several authors that share those traits. Political ideology is considered as a binary and as a multiclass problem. The PoliticES 2023 shared task is based on a previous task named PoliticES 2022 presented at IberLEF2022 (García-Díaz et. al. 2022b) where the dataset was an extension of the PoliCorpus 2020 dataset (García-Díaz et al., 2022a). The novelty of this year is that participants will work with clusters of texts written by different users, but with the same traits, instead of profiling users to prevent legal and ethical issues. The participants will be provided development, development_test, training and test datasets in Spanish from an extension of the PoliCorpus 2020 (García-Díaz et al., 2022) and the corpus used for the PoliticES 2022 shared task (García-Díaz et. al. 2022b). The dataset was collected between 2020 and 2022 from the Twitter accounts of politicians, political journalists and celebrities in Spain using the UMUCorpusClassifier (García-Díaz et al., 2020). We automatically created clusters of texts mixing some of these extracted tweets in order to prevent ethical and privacy issues about author profiling in Twitter. Each cluster is composed of 80 tweets written by different users that share all the traits under evaluation. We labeled each cluster with the self-assigned gender (male, female), profession (politician, celebrity, journalist) 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. Other entities, such as political party references, are also replaced with the @political_party token. Consequently, the text traits cannot be guessed trivially by reading the user's name and searching information on them on the Internet. The dataset is composed of approximately 2800 different clusters. Finally, in order to facilitate participation in the competition, a notebook with two baselines will be provided. The first one will be based on BoW and the second one will be based on Transformers. To download the data, the notebook and participate, go to https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/10173.

Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Disinformation and Toxic Content Analysis (DiTox 2023), September 13th, 2023
by Siegel, Melanie, Prof. Dr. 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Disinformation and Toxic Content Analysis (DiTox 2023), September 13th, 2023 https://ditox.ait.ac.at/ In conjunction with the 4th biennial conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2023) to be held in Vienna, Austria. The spread of misinformation and disinformation not only affects people's perceptions and beliefs, but can also have a direct impact on democratic institutions, critical infrastructure, and lives and families. Most critically, it raises the more fundamental issue of what sources of information can be trusted at all, potentially calling into question our relationship of trust with traditional media. Because of these profoundly harmful effects, disinformation is seen as one of the most pressing problems of our time. The weak definition of the research task of disinformation analysis and detection, as well as the enormous range in terms of the heterogeneity and multimodality of the data involved, make this an exceptionally challenging field of research. The complexity ranges from media tampering detection to text content analysis to large-scale information fusion to analyze disinformation trends. Maintaining a comprehensive overview is equally difficult. Respectively, the overall goal of this workshop is therefore to provide insights on how approaches from different domains can be used to address disinformation at a technical level including AI/ML-based methods, visual analytics, and visualization approaches as well as interdisciplinary approaches inspired by the social sciences (i.e., computational social science). To this end, we invite task-specific contributions, as well as large-scale integration approaches, demo and project presentations, to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in countering disinformation. Topics: Full Paper Submissions: - Machine and Deep learning methods for disinformation (e.g., analysis, detection) - Visual analytics and visualization approaches for disinformation - Social network analysis (e.g., key actors, distribution patterns) including visualization approaches - Graph algorithms for disinformation identification - Natural language processing methods (e.g., content evaluation, toxicity, radicalization) - AI-supported fact checking and detection of disinformation campaigns - Identification of fabricated and manipulated content (e.g., deep fakes, generated text) - Community detection and characterization in social networks (e.g., conspiracy theories, echo chambers) - Bots characterization and detection - Multimodal fake content detection - Recommendation systems and disinformation - AI uses, practices and tools in fact-checking journalism - Qualitative and quantitative studies on disinformation - Ethics and law in disinformation Demo and Project Presentation (Short Paper Track, Poster Presentation): - Demo presentations (e.g., fact checking tools, disinformation detection tools) - Project platform presentations - Project presentations Important Dates: - Paper submission: May 21st, 2023 - Notification: June 20th, 2023 - Camera-ready submission deadline: July 9th, 2023 - DiTox workshop: September 13th, 2023 Submission: Submissions can be in the form of Long papers (9-12 pages) and Short papers (4-6 pages). All submission lengths are given including references. Accepted submissions will be published by ACL in an open-access conference proceedings volume, free of charge for authors. The reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymised. The workshop will be hybrid (face-to-face and remote). At least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the paper at the workshop (either remotely or on-site). There will be no registration fee administered for participating in LDK 2023. Papers should be submitted via OpenReview at the following address: https://openreview.net/group?id=LDK/2023/Conference

Call for participation IberLEF 2023 Task - FinancES. Financial Targeted Sentiment Analysis in Spanish
by Rafael Valencia Garcia 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

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. To download the data, the notebook and participate, go to https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/10052#participate. Best regards, The FinancES 2023 organizing committee References - Bowles, S.

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).
