Shared hosting of LLMs for research?
by Amanda Stent 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

So, everyone wants to host their own (copy of a) large language model (LLM), but many academic institutions can't spin up multiple LLMs simultaneously, in perpetuity, nor do I believe the Scientific Funding Agencies in each country would want to pay for everyone to get a GPU cluster just to host 500+ copies of tomorrow's version of LLAMA-2(ish). Are you aware of any effort proposing or planning to host LLMs for use by researchers in some shared infrastructure? After all, hosting the LLM costs the same per hour whether 1, 3 or 20 people are calling it, and at most academic institutions usage would be a little bursty.

First Call for Papers: The 18th Linguistic Annotation Workshop
by Sophie Henning 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

***First Call for Papers*** **Workshop Description** LAW-XVIII will be the 18th annual meeting endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group for Annotation (SIGANN). It will take place in March 2024 at EACL in St. Julians, Malta. Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of supervised methods in both statistical and neural natural language processing. Annotated corpora are also a major supporting source of information for unsupervised methods, multitask learning, and evaluation of both NLP tools and theories about language within and outside of linguistics. The LAW-XVIII will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and manual annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and frameworks, representation of linguistic data and annotations, semi-supervised “human in the loop” methods of annotation, crowd-sourcing approaches, and more. The LAW will also provide a forum for annotation researchers to work towards standardization, best practices, and interoperability of annotation information and software. **Special Theme** The special theme of LAW-XVIII is “Annotation in the Age of Large Language Models (LLMs).” In addition to LAW’s general topics, we specifically invite submissions on the following topics: - Comparison of linguistically annotated datasets vs. datasets created using large language models. Potential topics include: - Comparison of models that have been trained on the respective datasets - Impact of data size of manually annotated resources already available prior to dataset creation with LLMs - Is synthetic dataset creation a viable option for non-standard domains, e.g., the medical domain, where expert knowledge is required? - Non-performance-related considerations of manual vs. synthetic dataset creation (e.g., explainability) - Impact and prevention of test dataset contamination in LLM training - Usefulness of LLMs for linguistic research (in relation to annotation). - Any other topics related to the special theme. **Submissions** We welcome submissions of long and short papers, posters, and demonstrations relating to the special theme or any aspect of linguistic annotation, including: - Annotation procedures - Innovative automated and manual strategies for annotation - Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of corpus annotation - Creation, maintenance, and interactive exploration of annotation structures and annotated data - Annotation evaluation - Inter-annotator agreement and other evaluation metrics and strategies - Qualitative evaluation of linguistic representations - Innovative means to evaluate annotation quality - Annotation access and use - Representation formats/structures for annotations of different phenomena, especially annotations at multiple levels, and means to explore/manipulate them - Linguistic considerations for merging annotations of distinct phenomena - Annotation schemes, guidelines and standards - New and innovative annotation schemes, comparison of annotation schemes - Methodologies and resources for annotation scheme development - Best practices for annotation procedures and/or development and documentation of annotation schemes - Interoperability of annotation formats and/or frameworks among different systems as well as different tasks, frameworks, modalities, and languages - Results from the application and evaluation of standards for linguistic annotation - Annotation software and frameworks - Development, evaluation and/or innovative use of annotation software frameworks Submissions should report original and unpublished research on topics of interest to the workshop. We also invite substantiated position papers, in particular with regard to our special theme. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop must not be or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Long/short paper submissions must use the official ACL style templates. Long papers must not exceed eight (8) pages of content. Short papers and demonstration papers must not exceed four (4) pages of content. References do not count against these limits. Note: The supplementary material does not count towards page limit and should not be included in the paper, but should be submitted separately using the appropriate field on the submission website. All submissions must be in PDF format. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not include the authors’ names and affiliations or self-references that reveal the authors’ identity--e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." should be replaced with citations such as "Smith (1991) previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Authors of papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information to the workshop co-chairs (law-xviii-2024(a)googlegroups.com). Authors of accepted papers must notify the program chairs within 10 days of acceptance if the paper is withdrawn for any reason. We follow previous and current ACL policy to establish an anonymity period (from submission to author notification) during which non-anonymous posting of preprints is not allowed. Also included in that policy are instructions to reviewers to not rate papers down for not citing recent preprints. Authors are asked to cite published versions of papers instead of preprint versions when possible. Papers can be submitted at https://softconf.com/eacl2024/LAW-XVIII/. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the program co-chairs via e-mail or check the workshop website (https://sigann.github.io/LAW-XVIII-2024/) for updates. **Dates** (All submission deadlines are 11:59 p.m. UTC-12:00 “anywhere on Earth”) Anonymity period starts: November 18, 2023 Submission of long and short papers: December 18, 2023 ARR Commitment deadline: January 17, 2024 Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2024 Camera-ready papers due: January 30, 2024 Workshop: March 21 or 22, 2024 **Workshop Organizers** Manfred Stede (Program Co-Chair) Sophie Henning (Program Co-Chair) Amir Zeldes (ACL SIGANN President) Ines Rehbein (ACL SIGANN Secretary) **Contact** Website: https://sigann.github.io/LAW-XVIII-2024/ Submission: https://softconf.com/eacl2024/LAW-XVIII/ E-mail: law-xviii-2024(a)googlegroups.com

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the 7th edition of the Translation in Transition conference (https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024). This series of conferences has established itself as a central meeting point for researchers in the field of empirical translation studies through previous editions in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent, Barcelona, Kent and Prague. In its 7th edition held at the Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi it once again wants to be a forum of discussion for empirical research that is based on any kind of empirical methodology and that advances our knowledge in the fields of translation and interpreting. While the Batumi edition will be open to various topics within empirical translation studies, we also want to put special emphasis on two directions: low-resourced and less-researched language pairs, as well as an interplay between different methods and data types, e.g. combining product and process research. First Call for Papers We invite original submissions that deal with any of the conference topics. To encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas and experience among the researchers of various fields of specialization, preference will be given to interdisciplinary contributions that cover two or more of the conference topics. The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts that should be between 800 and 1000 words long (excluding references) by February 16, 2024. Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be submitted through the open review system (https://openreview.net/group?id=TT/2024/Conference) and reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be presented either as oral talks or as posters. All submissions must follow the abstract submission instructions (https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024/submission-instructions). We welcome contributions (in English) grounded in empirical approaches to studying both interlingual and intralingual translation, as well as theoretical and position papers on the following topics: * Empirical methods and models (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) or methods derived from computational linguistics and data mining (e.g. computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to translation studies * Presentation of new resources for translation studies (spoken corpora, multimodal corpora, interpreting transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages, lexicons, databases, etc.) * Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and methods and other sources of data * Detection and analysis of specific features of translation (translationese, interpretese, editese, machine translationese, post-editese, etc.) using parallel and comparable corpora * Analysis and interpretation of variation in translation, e.g. variation driven through register/genre, expertise, mode, etc. * Empirical analysis of specialised translation, e.g. legal translation, technical translation and others * Analysis of non-canonical forms of translation/interpreting and multilingual communication * Cognitive and computational insights of variation in translation and translationese * Cognitive modeling of translation processes, including cognitive load measurements * Translation quality assessment and evaluation using corpora or experimental research * Translation in specific settings: between close languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc. * The use of corpora in translator and/or interpreter training * Improving understanding of translation in the context of NLP * Computer-assisted translation and/or interpreting (CAT/CAI) * Machine translation (MT): analysis, evaluation, selection and preparation of data for MT, ‘machine translationese’Important dates · Conference abstract submission due: Feb 16, 2024 · Notification of acceptance: April 8, 2024 · Final abstract version due: April 29, 2024 · Registration open: May 6, 2024 · Early-bird registration: June 6, 2024 · Conference date: September 23-25, 2024 The conference is organized by the Department of European Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi (Georgia) in cooperation with the Institute of Translation Studies and Specialised Communication, University of Hildesheim (Germany).

First CFP: The 6th Workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP (SIGTYP 2024)
by Michael Hahn 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

First CFP: The 6th Workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP (SIGTYP 2024) To be held at EACL 2024 (March 21 or 22, 2024 Malta) Website: https://sigtyp.github.io/ Submission website: https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2024/Workshop/SIGTYP <https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2024/Workshop/SIGTYP> Submission deadline: December 18, 2023 We invite submissions to the 6th edition of the SIGTYP workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP, to be held at EACL 2024 on March 21 or 22, 2024. Workshop description The aim of the 6th edition of SIGTYP workshop is to act as a platform and a forum for the exchange of information between typology-related research, multilingual NLP, and other research areas that can lead to the development of truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop is specifically aimed at raising awareness of linguistic typology and its potential in supporting and widening the global reach of multilingual NLP, as well as at introducing computational approaches to linguistic typology. It will foster research and discussion on open problems, not only within the active community working on cross- and multilingual NLP but also inviting input from leading researchers in linguistic typology. Our workshop will serve as a platform to enable fruitful discussions. In 2024, we additionally focus on bridging the gap between cross-linguistic and universal annotation, models, and technology. SIGTYP is the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and its integration in multilingual NLP. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop: * Integration of typological features in language transfer and joint multilingual learning. In addition to established techniques such as “selective sharing”, are there alternative ways to encoding heterogeneous external knowledge in machine learning algorithms? * Development of unified taxonomy and resources. Building universal databases and models to facilitate understanding and processing of diverse languages. * Automatic inference of typological features. The pros and cons of existing techniques (e.g. heuristics derived from morphosyntactic annotation, propagation from features of other languages, supervised Bayesian and neural models) and discussion on emerging ones. * Typology and interpretability. The use of typological knowledge for interpretation of hidden representations of multilingual neural models, multilingual data generation and selection, and typological annotation of texts. * Improvement and completion of typological databases. Combining linguistic knowledge and automatic data-driven methods towards the joint goal of improving the knowledge on cross-linguistic variation and universals. * Linguistic diversity and universals. Challenges of cross-lingual annotation. Which linguistic phenomena or categories should be considered universal? How should they be annotated? * Language-specific studies to support or contradict universals. Framing a study on 1-3 languages that would shed more light on common linguistic structures and properties. * Extra topics also include: generation of constructed languages, universals in diachronic languages changes, information-theoretic approaches to typology, automated approaches to etymology. Important Dates (all deadlines are 23:59 AoE) — December 18, 2023: Paper submission deadline — January 20, 2024: Notification of acceptance — January 30, 2024: Camera-ready deadline — March 21 or 22, 2024: Workshop Submissions We invite both extended abstract submissions (non-archival) and general paper submissions (archival). The accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop, providing new insights and ideas. Extended abstracts should describe already published work or work in progress and should not exceed two (2) pages. This way, we will not discourage researchers from preferring main conference proceedings, at the same time ensuring that interesting and thought-provoking research is presented at the workshop. For general (archival) submissions we accept both long and short papers. Short papers should not exceed four (4) pages, long papers should not exceed eight (8) pages papers. Unlimited additional pages are allowed for the references section in all submission types. Submissions should be anonymous, without authors or an acknowledgement section; self-citations should appear in third person.

1st Call for Papers: CODI, 5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Discourse
by Chloé Braud 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

CODI, 5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Discourse 2024-03-21 or 22 - EACL 2024 - Malta ** Submission deadline: December 20th, 2023 - No deadline extension ** Website link: https://sites.google.com/view/codi2024 Aims and scope The last ten years have seen a dramatic improvement in the ability of NLP systems to understand and produce words and sentences. This development has created a renewed interest in discourse phenomena as researchers move towards the processing of long-form text and conversations. There is a surge of activity in discourse parsing, coherence models, text summarization, corpora for discourse level reading comprehension, and discourse related/aided representation learning, to name a few, but the problems in computational approaches to discourse are still substantial. At this juncture, we have organized four Workshops on Computational Approaches to Discourse (CODI) at EMNLP 2020, EMNLP 2021, COLING 2022 and ACL 2023 to bring together discourse experts and upcoming researchers. These workshops have catalyzed work to advance research on discourse level problems and have served as a forum for the discussion of suitable datasets and reliable evaluation methods. The previous workshops on discourse in machine translation (DiscoMT), linking lexical, sentential and discourse semantics (LSDSem), discourse structure in natural language generation (DSNNLG), discourse relation parsing and treebanking (DISRPT) and coreference (CORBON/CRAC), have shown that there is considerable interest and success in bringing together the community working on specific problems in discourse. We believe that the discourse community will also benefit from a general forum where work ranging from corpus development/analysis to computational models, and evaluation is discussed, and desiderata can be drawn for future progress. The 5th CODI workshop is planned as a 1 day event which brings together different subcommunities. It will feature invited talks and regular papers. We also accept papers accepted at other major conferences for non-archival presentation, including Findings papers. Topics of interest We welcome papers on symbolic and probabilistic approaches, corpus development and analysis, as well as machine and deep learning approaches to discourse. We appreciate theoretical contributions as well as practical applications, including demos of systems and tools. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for the community of NLP researchers working on all aspects of discourse. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - discourse structure - discourse connectives - discourse relations - annotation tools and schemes for discourse phenomena - corpora annotated with discourse phenomena - discourse parsing - cross-lingual discourse processing - cross-domain discourse processing - anaphora and coreference resolution - event coreference - argument mining - coherence modeling - discourse and semantics - discourse in applications such as machine translation, summarization, etc. - evaluation methodology for discourse processing Submissions We solicit three categories of papers: regular (long and short) workshop papers, demos and extended abstracts. Only regular workshop papers and demos will be included in the proceedings as archival publications. Double submission of papers is allowed but will need to be indicated at submission. Regular papers must describe original unpublished research. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references. Short papers can be up to 4 pages, plus unlimited pages for references. Demo submissions may describe systems, tools, visualizations, etc., and may consist of up to 4 pages, plus unlimited pages for references. Each submission can contain unlimited pages for Appendices but the paper submissions need to remain fully self-contained, as these supplementary materials are completely optional, and reviewers are not even asked to review them. Extended abstracts can describe work in progress. These may be two pages long (without references). Extended abstracts are non-archival. They will be included in the workshop program and handbook, but will not appear in the workshop proceedings. Paper accepted or rejected at one of the main conferences We also invite presentations of paper accepted at another main conference, a specific deadline and submission process will be communicated later on. They will be included in the workshop program and handbook, but will not appear in the workshop proceedings. We will also consider for publication papers rejected at one of the main conferences (see the direct submission deadline below), authors will have to submit both the paper and the reviews. The submission process will be communicated later on. Submission website All submissions must be anonymous and follow the EACL 2024 formatting instructions described here: https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp Please submit your workshop papers at https://softconf.com/eacl2024/CODI-2024/ Important dates 2023-12-20: CODI papers due 2024-01-17: Direct submission (papers rejected at a main conference) 2024-01-20: Notification of acceptance 2024-01-30: Camera ready deadline for main conference and CODI 2024-03-17 – 2024-03-22: CODI workshop All deadlines are 11.59 pm UTC -12h ("anywhere on Earth"). Due to the tight schedule, there will be no deadline extension.
