First Call for Participation: AmericasNLP 2023 Shared Task on Machine Translation into Indigenous Languages
by Katharina Kann 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

AmericasNLP 2023 Shared Task on Machine Translation into Indigenous Languages First Call for Participation The AmericasNLP 2023 Shared Task on Machine Translation into Indigenous Languages <https://turing.iimas.unam.mx/americasnlp/2023_st.html> is a competition aimed at encouraging the development of machine translation (MT) systems for Indigenous languages of the Americas. Participants will build systems that translate between Spanish and an Indigenous language. Systems submitted to the shared task will be presented at the Third Workshop on NLP for Indigenous Languages of the Americas (AmericasNLP) on July 14, 2023, which will be co-located with the 61st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2023), which will be held in Toronto, Canada. Why? Many of the Indigenous languages of the Americas are so-called low-resource languages: parallel data with other languages as needed to train MT systems is limited. This means that many approaches designed for translating between high-resource languages, such as English and Chinese, are not directly applicable or perform poorly. Additionally, many Indigenous languages exhibit linguistic properties uncommon among languages frequently studied in natural language processing (NLP). For instance, many are polysynthetic. This constitutes an additional difficulty. The goal of AmericasNLP is to motivate researchers to take on the challenge of developing MT systems for Indigenous languages. How? AmericasNLP invites the submission of MT results obtained by systems built for Indigenous languages. Participants can use the training and development data we provide, but there are no limits on what participants can use. If participants want to translate additional data to improve their systems, that's great! If they want to use pretrained models, that's great, too! The only limitation is that we ask participants to not have the test input translated by hand or train on the development or test sets. The main metric of the shared task is ChrF++ (Popović, 2017). Participants can enter the competition with as many language pairs as they like, and systems for every language pair will be evaluated separately. We provide an evaluation script and a baseline MT system to help participants get started quickly. If you are interested in this shared task, please register here <https://forms.gle/ZMVWCxoFunHF3bjNA>. Which languages? The following language pairs are featured in the AmericasNLP 2023 shared task: - Hñähñu–Spanish - Wixarika–Spanish - Nahuatl–Spanish - Guaraní–Spanish - Bribri–Spanish - Rarámuri–Spanish - Quechua–Spanish - Aymara–Spanish - Shipibo-Konibo–Spanish - Asháninka–Spanish - 👻Surprise language👻–Spanish Spanish is always the target language: systems are evaluated on translating from an Indigenous language into Spanish. Important Dates - Release of initial languages and evaluation script: March 16, 2023 - Release of baseline system and baseline results: March 20, 2023 - Release of surprise language data: April 21, 2023 - Submission of translations (shared task deadline): May 07, 2023 - Announcements of results: May 09, 2023 - Submission of system description papers: May 16, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: May 26, 2023 - Workshop: July 14, 2023 All deadlines are 11:59 pm UTC -12h (AoE).

Call for Papers: 'TwinTalks 4: Understanding and Facilitating Remote Collaboration in DH' at DH2023
by Gorgaini, E. (Elisa) 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Call for Papers: 'TwinTalks 4: Understanding and Facilitating Remote Collaboration in DH' The workshop is a joint initiative by the European Social Sciences and Humanities Research Infrastructures CLARIN <http://www.clarin.eu> and DARIAH<https://www.dariah.eu/> and it will be organised as part of the DH 2023 Collaboration and Opportunity Conference<https://dh2023.adho.org/> that will take place on July 10-14 in Graz, Austria. Dates and Location Main conference: 10-14 July, Messe Congress Graz convention centre<http://www.mcg.at/messegraz.at/en/locations/messecongress-graz/veranstalter…> TwinTalks workshop: 10 July, 9:00 - 12:30, University of Graz<https://www.uni-graz.at/en/> ________________________________ Important Dates * 15 March 2023: Call for Papers * 15 May 2023: Submission deadline * 15 June 2023: Notification of acceptance * 30 June 2023: Deadline for the final version of extended abstracts * 10 July 2023 (9:00 - 12:30): Workshop ________________________________ Workshop Aims The main objective of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of the dynamics on the Digital Humanities work floor when researchers, teachers and/or professionals with different – but often overlapping – areas of competence engage in remote collaboration to solve humanities research questions, and to explore how education and training of humanities scholars, cultural heritage professionals and technical experts can help to make remote collaboration across disciplines more efficient and effective, more creative and innovative, and more inclusive and rewarding for all participants. To this end, we invite submissions reporting on all aspects and stages of engaging in remote collaborative research and teaching in DH, including the obstacles encountered and solutions found. We also welcome position papers on the role of research infrastructures in facilitating remote collaboration in DH. The insights gained should help those involved in the education of humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts alike to develop better training programmes, tailored towards the needs of a diverse group of potential learners. The workshop is a follow-up of three previous successful TwinTalks workshops that have taken place at various DH conferences from 2019 onwards (TwinTalks 1 proceedings<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2365/>; TwinTalks 1 blog<http://www.parthenos-project.eu/clarin-and-parthenos-twintalks>; TwinTalks 2+3 proceedings<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2717/>). ________________________________ Audience Researchers, cultural heritage professionals, educators, scientific programmers, research infrastructure operators and policy-makers with a special interest in creating the conditions where people with humanities research skills and technical expertise (or both) can fruitfully collaborate in answering humanities research questions remotely. ________________________________ Workshop Format The programme starts with an invited talk by a prominent speaker, which will set the scene for the rest of the day. The main component of the workshop programme consists of two types of (submitted) talks: * Twin talks, i.e. talks presented by pairs or teams consisting of someone rooted primarily in humanities research (with a humanities research problem, i.e. not a technical problem or tool), someone with a background in a totally different discipline (e.g. technical) who has contributed their specific capabilities to arrive at the answers, and/or a cultural heritage professional whose collection knowledge has contributed to the development of the research corpus. Talks will usually consist of three parts, followed by questions from the audience: In the first part, the humanities research question is the point of focus, while in the second part, it is shown how the joint effort resulted in an answer to the respective question. In the third part, these perspectives come together, as the team describes how the remote collaboration went, including obstacles that were encountered, and how better training and education could help to make remote collaboration more efficient and effective. * Teach talks by people with experience with or interesting ideas about how remote cross-discipline collaboration is or can be addressed in curricula or other training activities. ________________________________ Submissions The language of the workshop is English. What we expect from the submissions for the Twin Talks track: * They are authored and presented by one or more humanities scholars and one or more digital experts * They start from a humanities research question (i.e. not a technical question, a presentation of a tool, a platform or a data collection) * They describe the remote research carried out jointly and its results * They describe the technical aspects of the methods used and the results obtained * They analyse the way the scholars and the technicians collaborated remotely, addressing issues such as (but not limited to): * What was easy and what was difficult, and why? * How did the researchers, technicians or cultural heritage professionals change each other’s way of looking at things? * Did they, for instance, make each other aware of blind spots they had? * Did the combination of thinking from a DH research question and thinking from a technical solution lead to new insights? * How could better training or education of scholars and digital experts make remote collaboration easier, more effective and more efficient? With regards to the TeachTalks track, one single author and presenter is sufficient. Of course, multi-author papers are equally welcome. Submission instructions * Format: PDF. For format instructions, see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip * Size: Extended abstracts, size ca 4-8 pages (between 2000-4000 words), covering research questions and answers, technical aspects and collaboration experience for Twin Talks, or relevant educational experience for Teach Talks. * Publication: The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS<https://ceur-ws.org/>. * Submission URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=twintalksdh2023 Workshop Programme Committee * Bente Maegaard (CLARIN ERIC / University of Copenhagen, Denmark) * Barbara McGillivray (King's College London & The Alan Turing Institute, UK) * Benjamin Wiggins (University of Manchester, UK) * Eleni Gouli (Academy of Athens, Greece) * Francesca Frontini (CNR, Italy & CLARIN ERIC) * Frank Uiterwaal (EHRI / NIOD / KNAW, Netherlands) * Folgert Karsdorp (Meertens Institute, KNAW, Netherlands) * Geoffrey Rockwell (University of Alberta, Canada) * Hitoshi Isahara (Center for IT-Based Education, Japan) * Jennifer Edmond (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) * Koenraad De Smedt (CLARINO, University of Bergen, Norway) * Maria Gavrilidou (Institute for Language and Speech Processing, Athens, Greece) * Menno Van Zaanen (South African Centre for Digital Language Resources, South Africa) * Milena Dobreva (Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria) * Mikko Tolonen (University of Helsinki, Finland) * Radim Hladik (Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic) * Ulrike Wuttke (University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Germany) * Vicky Garnett (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) ________________________________ Chairs and Organisers The workshop is a joint initiative by European SSH Research Infrastructures CLARIN (http://www.clarin.eu<http://www.clarin.eu/>) and DARIAH (https://www.dariah.eu/). * Steven Krauwer (CLARIN ERIC / Utrecht University, Netherlands) * Darja Fišer (CLARIN ERIC / Institute of Contemporary History, Slovenia) * Iulianna van der Lek-Ciudin (CLARIN ERIC, Netherlands) * Sally Chambers (DARIAH-EU / Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities, Belgium) * Agiatis Benardou (DARIAH-EU / Digital Curation Unit, ATHENA R.C., Athens, Greece) ________________________________ Contact Information For any questions, please contact Iulianna van der Lek at events(a)clarin.eu<https://mailto:events@clarin.eu>. — Elisa Gorgaini CLARIN ERIC External Relation Officer elisa(a)clarin.eu +31648213015 www.clarin.eu
