2nd Call for Papers *International Conference on CMC and Social Media Corpora for the Humanities* 14–15th September 2023, University of Mannheim, Germany The 10th International Conference on CMC and Social Media Corpora for the Humanities (CMC-Corpora) will be held at the University of Mannheim, Germany in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS). Specialized corpora of the language of CMC and social media are increasingly vital for the analysis of the “unparalleled and rapidly evolving diversity in terms of speakers and settings” in digital contexts, as well as of “language evolution seen through the lens of user-generated content, which gives access to a number of variants, socio- and idiolects” (Barbaresi 2019: 29-30). The conference brings together language-centered research on CMC and social media in linguistics, philologies, communication sciences, media, and social sciences with research questions from the fields of corpus and computational linguistics, language technology, text technology, and machine learning. It features research in which computational methods and tools are used for language-centered empirical analysis of CMC and social media phenomena as well as research on building, processing, annotating, representing, and exploiting CMC and social media corpora, including their integration in digital research infrastructures. We adhere to a wide definition of CMC and Social Media, covering various media of digital communication, including email, newsgroups, forums, chat and messenger applications (e.g. WhatsApp), social networks (Facebook, Instagram), gaming platforms, as well as interactions in the communication areas of video portals (YouTube), learning platforms, gaming apps, online games and virtual worlds. We invite submissions on CMC-related topics, including but not limited to: * Development of CMC corpora / social media corpora * Building CMC corpora: from data collection to publication * Open access data for CMC research: ethical and GDPR issues * Annotating CMC data: genres, linguistic aspects, metadata * Multimodal corpora * Big data corpora * Legal issues concerning the sampling, distribution and (long-term) archiving of social media data * Analysis of CMC corpora / social media corpora * Sociolinguistic studies of CMC * Discourse analysis of CMC * Linguistic characteristics of CMC * Multimodal (incl. visual) aspects of CMC * Multilingualism and code-switching in CMC * CMC in language education * Natural language processing (NLP) of CMC data / social media data * Normalization * PoS tagging * Anonymisation and Pseudonymisation * Lemmatization * Syntactic parsing * Semantic Annotation =========================== *Confirmed keynote speaker* =========================== Tatjana Scheffler, Ruhr-Universität Bochum ================= *Important Dates* ================= * Abstract submission: 30 April, 23:59 CEST * Notification of acceptance: Friday, 30 June 2023, 23:59 CEST * Deadline revised abstract submission: Sunday, 6 August 2023, 23:59 CEST * Deadline registration for participation: Sunday, 20 August 2023, 23:59 CEST * Arrival, Get-together: Wednesday, 13 September 2023 * Conference: Thursday 14 - Friday 15 September 2023 ============ *Submission* ============ We invite submissions for talks and for posters or software/corpus demonstrations on any topic relevant to the list of themes mentioned above.

30 Mar '23

**1st ALP Workshop will be co-located with RANLP 2023 at Varna, Bulgaria** Date: September 7, 2023 Website: https://www.ancientnlp.com/alp2023/ Ancient languages contain rich human historical and cultural wealth. So far there has been some good advancement in applying language technologies to ancient languages such as Sumerian, Akkadian, Latin, Ancient Greek and Ancient Chinese, especially in the construction of digital language resources and resources to facilitate automatic analysis. The workshop on Ancient Language Processing aims to focus specifically on ancient languages and scripts from the emergence of writing in Mesopotamia and Egypt c. 3000 BCE to the entire world up till 800 AD. We wish to provide a recognized forum to further advance this subfield of NLP, where researchers and practitioners can meet and discuss their latest work, and exchange ideas in addressing shared epigraphical challenges in language processing across various ancient languages, such as non-Latin and non-alphabetic scripts, Right-to-Left, transliteration conventions and fragmentary texts. In addition, we propose shared tasks on Machine Translation for Ancient Chinese and Akkadian, respectively, to provide an opportunity to address the unique challenges faced by ancient language machine translation. Languages of interest include, but are not limited to: - Mesopotamia: Sumerian, Akkadian - Iran: Elamite, old and middle Persian - Levant: Eblaite, Amorite, Aramaic (incl. Mandaic and Syriac), Ancient Hebrew, Phynician, Ugaritic - Anatolia: Hittite, Luwian and minor Anatolian languages - Egypt: Ancient Egyptian, Coptic - Mediterranean: Linear A and B, Ancient Greek, Latin - Arabia: Ancient North Arabian, old Arabic - India: Sanskrit, Eastern Panjabi, Pali - China: Literary Chinese, Tibetan - Mesoamerica: Mayan - Japan: Old Japanese Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work related to Natural Language Processing of Ancient Languages. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Charset (Unicode) - Input method (transliteration and transcription) - Tokenization (word segmentation) - Morphological analysis (both inflectional and derivational) - Philological issues in NLP - Linguistic Linked Data supporting NLP - Syntactic analysis - Semantic analysis - Machine translation - Pre-trained models - Deep learning based NLP - Multi-lingual comparison for NLP purposes - Data mining - Knowledge extraction - Language varieties and dialects - NLP issues in the analysis of broken texts and uncertain readings - Minimal computing in NLP We welcome two types of submissions: Long Papers that describe original and unpublished work in any topic area of the workshop. Long papers are limited to 8 pages for content, with 2 additional pages for references. Short Papers that describe either work in progress or a research proposal. They may also be in the style of a position paper that surveys and criticizes existing literature. Short papers must include clear directions for future research. Submissions of this type are limited to 4 pages for content, with 2 additional pages for references. Please also note the following: The papers accepted will be included in the ACL Anthology. Paper submissions must use the official ACL style templates, which are available from here (Latex and Word): https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files. Please submit your papers in PDF format.

CfP: Conference on Language, gender and sexuality: theoretical and methodological perspectives. // Esitelmäkutsu: Konferenssi aiheesta Kieli, sukupuoli ja seksuaalisuus: teoreettisia ja menetelmällisiä näkökulmia
by Jantunen, Jarmo 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

(in English / suomeksi alla) Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a conference on language, gender and sexuality studies in Finland and beyond. The conference will be hosted by the University of Helsinki, 12-13th October 2023. Please find the call for proposals below and on the website: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/language-gender-and-sexuality-theore… Please feel free to forward the CFP to your networks and interested colleagues. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Best regards, Jarmo Harri Jantunen // Hyvät kollegat, saamme iloksemme kutsua teidät jättämään esitelmäehdotuksia konferenssiimme, joka käsittelee kielen, sukupuolen ja seksuaalisuuden tutkimusta Suomessa ja sen ulkopuolella. Konferenssi järjestetään Helsingin yliopistolla 12.-13.10.2023. Tarkemmat tiedot alla ja kotisivuilla:https://www.helsinki.fi/fi/konferenssit/kieli-sukupuoli-ja-seksuaalisuus-teoreettisia-ja-menetelmallisia-nakokulmia Kutsua saa mieluusti jakaa eteenpäin. Järjestelytoimikunnan puolesta Jarmo Harri Jantunen Language, gender and sexuality: theoretical and methodological perspectives 12-13th October 2023 University of Helsinki, Finland. First Call for Papers The intersections of language, gender and sexuality have become central topics of interest for researchers from many fields, but gender and sexuality categories are often handled in a simplistic manner, for example as fixed binary variables. However, these are both complex categories which require new theoretical understanding and methodological orientations. With the aim of bringing together both national and international scholars interested in language and gender and/or sexuality, we are organizing a two-day conference on October 12 and 13, 2023 at the University of Helsinki. All presentations will be given in person. The call for papers for the conference is open to all scholars focusing on language. In particular, we hope to receive abstracts on studies utilizing queer theories or feminist approaches (e.g., intersectional feminism), but we welcome abstracts on any topics related to language and gender and/or sexuality. Both established and younger researchers are encouraged to participate. Possible topics include but are not limited to: queer (linguistic) theory/methods corpus linguistic approaches to studying language and gender/sexuality ethnographic approaches to studying language and gender/sexuality construction of gender and sexual identities in discourse queer and trans sociophonetics With these themes in mind, we have invited two plenary speakers, who will both also lead a methodological workshop: Dr. Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham: Plenary: Constructions of identity and embodiment in the discourse of trans youth Workshop: Doing ethnography in queer and trans linguistics: Issues, concepts, and reflections Dr. Frazer Heritage, Manchester Metropolitan University: Plenary: Lavender corpus linguistics: taking stock and moving forward Workshop: Corpus approaches to language and sexuality: tackling methodological challenges Submission details: Abstracts should be 250 words in length (excluding references), and they can be written in English or Finnish. Likewise, accepted papers can be presented either in English or Finnish. All abstracts should be submitted via email langgegesex(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:langgegesex@helsinki.fi> by May 11th. Instructions for the abstract layout are provided on the website: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/language-gender-and-sexuality-theore… Notification of acceptance will be sent in early June. The conference is funded by the Helsinki Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities. There is no registration fee for presenters. Please contact langgesex(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:langgesex@helsinki.fi> if you have any questions. Conference website: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/language-gender-and-sexuality-theore… Organizers: Pekka Posio, Jarmo Jantunen, Laura Hekanaho, Meri Lindeman, Sanni Surkka and Annina Pura // Kieli, sukupuoli ja seksuaalisuus: teoreettisia ja menetelmällisiä näkökulmia 12.-13.10.2023, Helsingin yliopisto Ensimmäinen kiertokirje Kielen, sukupuolen ja seksuaalisuuden risteyskohdista on tullut keskeinen tutkimuskohde monilla eri kieleen keskittyvillä tutkimusaloilla, mutta sukupuolta ja seksuaalisuutta käsitellään niillä usein yksinkertaistavasti, esimerkiksi pelkästään binäärisinä muuttujina. Molemmat ovat kuitenkin monimutkaisia kategorioita, joiden käsitteleminen vaatii uutta teoreettista ymmärrystä ja menetelmällisiä suuntauksia. Tavoitteenamme on tuoda yhteen kielestä sekä sukupuolesta ja/tai seksuaalisuudesta kiinnostuneita tutkijoita sekä Suomesta että muualta maailmasta. Siksi järjestämme kaksipäiväisen konferenssin 12. ja 13. lokakuuta 2023 Helsingin yliopistossa. Kaikki esitelmät pidetään paikan päällä. Esitelmäkutsu on avoin kaikille kieleen keskittyville tutkijoille. Toivomme saavamme abstrakteja erityisesti sellaisista tutkimuksista, joissa hyödynnetään queerteorioita tai feministisiä lähestymistapoja (esim. intersektionaalinen feminismi), mutta kaikki kieltä sekä seksuaalisuutta ja/tai sukupuolta käsittelevät esitelmäehdotukset ovat tervetulleita. Kannustamme sekä kokeneempia että nuorempia tutkijoita osallistumaan. Joitain mahdollisia aihepiirejä ovat queerlingvistiikan teoriat / metodit, korpuslingvistiset lähestymistavat sukupuoleen / seksuaalisuuteen, etnografiset lähestymistavat sukupuoleen / seksuaalisuuteen, sukupuoli- ja seksuaali-identiteettien rakentuminen diskursseissa ja queer- ja trans-sosiofonetiikka. Näitä teemoja ajatellen olemme kutsuneet konferenssiin kaksi plenaaripuhujaa, jotka pitävät lisäksi työpajat: FT Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham: Plenaari: Constructions of identity and embodiment in the discourse of trans youth Työpaja: Doing ethnography in queer and trans linguistics: Issues, concepts, and reflections FT Frazer Heritage, Manchester Metropolitan University Plenaari: Lavender corpus linguistics: taking stock and moving forward Työpaja: Corpus approaches to language and sexuality: tackling methodological challenges Tarkemmat ohjeet: Abstraktin maksimipituus on 250 sanaa (poislukien lähdeluettelon). Abstraktin voi kirjoittaa ja esitelmän pitää joko suomeksi tai englanniksi. Abstrakti on jätettävä sähköpostitse osoitteeseen langgesex(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:langgesex@helsinki.fi> 11.5. mennessä. Löydät tarkemmat ohjeet abstraktin muotoiluun verkkosivuilta: https://www.helsinki.fi/fi/konferenssit/kieli-sukupuoli-ja-seksuaalisuus-te… Ilmoitus abstraktin hyväksymisestä toimitetaan kesäkuun alkupuolella. Konferenssin rahoittaa Helsingin yliopiston humanistis-yhteiskuntatieteellinen instituutti (HSSH). Osallistuminen on esitelmän pitäjille maksutonta.

by hkivanani＠gmail.com 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Dear all, 👋Join the LuxAI QTrobot competition at IROS2023 (https://ieee-iros.org/) and win one of three QTrobots! 👉Sneak-peak: Embodied and Emotional Voice Interaction with ChatGPT and QTrobot. 🤓 Sounds interesting? Click https://luxai.com/blog/iroscompetition2023/ to learn more and off we go! Important dates: 👉 Registration Deadline: 10.04.2023 Please consider registering: https://luxai.com/blog/iroscompetition2023/ Task Large language models such as GPT3 can be used for different applications in human-computer interaction, and we want to explore their use in embodied interaction. The task in the competition will be to integrate ChatGPT gpt-3.5-turbo model into QTrobot by LuxAI to build a model for embodiment based on the output of the large language model. The embodiment model should employ and synchronize voice, facial expressions and gestures of the robot to produce emotional and multimodal (voice-based and embodied) dialogues. The steps can be for example: 1- A user sends a textual input to ChatGPT using a web interface. 2- Response from ChatGPT arrives and is analyzed by your model. 3- QTrobot performs what your model suggests: how to move arms, how to speak, how to show emotions. You can find the technical description of the QTrobot here: QTrobot Documentation (https://docs.luxai.com/docs/tutorials/intro_ros) Organizers: Sviatlana Höhn (LuxAI S.A) Ali Paikan (LuxAI.

Call for Papers: LxGr2023 - Extended Deadline
by Costas Gabrielatos 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Symposium: Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar (LxGr2023) CALL FOR PAPERS Extended deadline for abstract submission: 15 April 2023 The symposium will take place online on 7-8 July 2023. Invited Speakers: Gaëtanelle Gilquin<https://perso.uclouvain.be/gaetanelle.gilquin> (Université catholique de Louvain) Thomas Herbst<https://www.angam.phil.fau.de/fields/engling/herbst/> (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität) 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). For more information and details of past symposia, see here: https://ehu.ac.uk/lxgr.

[2nd CFP][ICWSM 2023][Extended Deadline] TRUEHEALTH 2023: Workshop on Combating Health Misinformation for Social Wellbeing
by Rishabh Upadhyay 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

[Apologies for multiple submissions] Submission deadline EXTENDED to APRIL 09! Papers will be published in the ICWSM Workshop Proceedings. Long Papers are welcome, but also Short Papers and Abstracts are great for discussing ongoing work. Call for Papers TrueHealth 2023: Combating Health Misinformation for Social Wellbeing Workshop @ ICWSM 2023, the 17th International Conference on Web and Social Media June 5th – 8th 2023, Limassol, Cyprus https://truehealth.disco.unimib.it/ Scope and topics In recent years, people have increasingly referred to the Web and social media as sources of information about health-related problems and solutions, as confirmed by the U.S. Pew Research Center, and other European and international studies. Although, on the one hand, these platforms favor easier and more direct access to information sources by users without the intermediation of experts, on the other hand, it is precisely such democratization of health information that constitutes a potential danger for people. As we have seen especially in the last period, linked to the pandemic, the proliferation of false information, conspiracy theories, and unreliable remedies risk compromising the health not only of individuals but that of the community as a whole. From this perspective, it becomes necessary to study and propose technological solutions to help users come into contact with genuine information, especially in a critical domain such as health, for social well-being. To this end, it is essential to promote research of an interdisciplinary nature, involving computer scientists, physicians, lawyers, and communication experts who can address the problem of health misinformation from different points of view by combining their expertise. The topics of interest of the TrueHealth 2023 Workshop at ICWSM include, but are not limited to: Assessing the genuineness of Online Health Information (OHI); Consumer Health Search (CHS) and genuine information access; Debunking health misinformation; Fake news/rumors and healthcare; Measures, evaluation methods, and datasets for health misinformation detection; Health misinformation detection; Health literacy and information genuineness; Fact-checking in Online Health Information (OHI); Misinformation and public opinion on health; Relationship between access to non-genuine information and danger to public health; Relationship between psychological characteristics and perceptions of health misinformation; Techniques for accessing and retrieving genuine Online Health Information (OHI). Submission Instructions We welcome both 2-page abstracts, as well as Long (8 pages) and Short (4 pages) papers – excluding references (11 pages max with references and ethics statement). Abstracts are ideal as Demo or Position papers, Short papers as presentations of ongoing research with preliminary results or summaries of previous work, and Long papers as presentations of novel research and results. Long and Short papers will be published in ICWSM Workshop Proceedings (http://workshop-proceedings.icwsm.org/). All submissions should be double-blind. Papers have to follow the AAAI format, as outlined here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/aaai-2023-author-kit/wxnmhzcrjbpc Submit here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=truehealth2023 Other ICWSM submission instructions: https://www.icwsm.org/2023/index.html/call_for_submissions.html Important Dates Workshop Papers Submissions: April 09, 2023 Workshop Paper Acceptance Notification:April 23, 2023 Workshop Final Camera-Ready Paper Due: May 5, 2023 ICWSM-2023 Workshops Day: June 5, 2023 Organizers Gabriella Pasi (Full Professor), University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy Rishabh Upadhyay (Research Fellow), University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy Marco Viviani (Associate Professor), University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy Program Committee Lorraine Goeuriot, Université Grenoble Alpes, France Sanda Harabagiu, The University of Texas at Dallas, USA Liadh Kelly, Maynooth University, Ireland Dongwon Lee, The Pennsylvania State University, USA Yelena Mejova, ISI Foundation, Italy Marinella Petrocchi, Institute of Informatics and Telematics (CNR), Italy Michael Sirivianos, Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus Xingyi Song, University of Sheffield, UK Hanna Suominen, Australian National University, Australia Francesca Spazzano, Boise State University, USA Angelo Spognardi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Bei Yu, Syracuse University, USA Arkaitz Zubiaga, Queen Mary University of London, UK
