ESSLLI 2023: Second Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
by Kilian Evang 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 34th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information – ESSLLI 2023 31 July–11 August, 2023, Ljubljana, Slovenia https://2023.esslli.eu/ Important Dates =============== 13 January 2023: Course Title submission deadline (mandatory) 20 January 2023: Final submission 3 March 2023: Notification Introduction ============ Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, where the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at both introductory and advanced levels, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. Since 1989, ESSLLI has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities in the fields of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Logic, Philosophy, and beyond. It comes from a community which recognizes that advances in our common areas require the contributions of multiple interrelated disciplines. The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis in human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures. Topics and Format ================= Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2023 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. Categories ========== Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. Foundational Courses -------------------- Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. Introductory Courses -------------------- Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines. Advanced Courses ---------------- Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field. Workshops --------- Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest. Workshop organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings. Proposal Guidelines =================== Course and workshop proposals should closely follow these guidelines to ensure full consideration. Course and Workshop proposals can be submitted by no more than two lecturers/organizers and they are presented by no more than these two lecturers/organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals of Courses given at ESSLLI the previous year will have a lower priority of being accepted in the current year. Proposals must be in PDF format include all of the following: 1. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage (optional) 2. General proposal information: Title, category 3. Contents information: a. Abstract of up to 150 words b. Motivation and description (up to two pages) c. Tentative outline d. Expected level and prerequisites e. Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) 4. Information on the proposer and course: a. Will your course appeal to students outside of the main discipline of the course? b. Include information on your experience in the intensive one-week interdisciplinary setting c. Include evidence that the course proposer is an excellent lecturer 5. Information from workshop organizers: a. Include information on relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable b. Include information about potential external funding for participants Submission Information ====================== **By January 13, 2023:** You are asked to submit in EasyChair at least the name(s) of the instructor(s), the ESSLLI area+course level and a short abstract. **By January 20:** Your submission must be completed by uploading a PDF with the actual proposal as detailed above. Submission Portal ================= Please submit your proposals to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2023 Childcare ========= If there is enough interest, ESSLLI will provide information on private child care services available during the summer school. EACSL Sponsorship ================= The EACSL will support one Logic and Computation course or workshop addressing topics of interest to Computer Science Logic (CSL) conferences. The selected course or workshop will be designated an EACSL course/workshop in the programme. If you wish to be considered for this, please indicate so in your proposal.

Call for papers: Explainable AI in Natural Language Processing
by Somnath Banerjee 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Call for papers: Explainable AI in Natural Language Processing Traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) models (e.g., decision trees, Markov models, etc.) have primarily been based on techniques that are inherently interpretable models, referred to as white-box techniques. However, in recent years, NLP models have employed advanced neural approaches along with language embedding features. Using these advanced approaches, mostly referred to as black-box techniques, the NLP models have yielded state-of-art performance. Nonetheless, the level of interpretability (e.g., how the model arrives at its results) has reduced significantly. This obfuscated interpretability not only lowers the end users’ trust in the NLP models but also makes it challenging for the developers to debug or improve by analyzing the models for further improvement. Therefore, nowadays, researchers in the NLP community are giving significant attention to the emerging field called Explainable AI (XAI) to tackle the obfuscated complexity of AI systems for trust and improvement. Apart from academia, organizations and companies also have launched high-funding projects such as DARPA XAI, People +AI Research (PAIR), etc. As XAI is still a growing field, there is plenty of room for innovation to improve the explainability of NLP systems. In recent works, explainable NLP models have captured linguistic knowledge of neural networks, explain predictions, stress-test models via challenge sets or adversarial examples, and interpret language embeddings. The goal of this Research Topic is to better understand the present status of the XAI in NLP by identifying: new dimensions for a better explanation, evaluation techniques used to measure the quality of explanations, approaches or developments of new software toolkits to explain XAI in NLP, and transparent deep learning models for different NLP task. The scope of this Research Topic covers (but is not restricted to) the following topics: • Survey of XAI in NLP in general or any particular NLP task such as NER, QA, Sentiment analysis, social media (SocialNLP), etc. • Explainable Neural models in Machine Translation • Explainable Neural models in Named Entity Recognition • Explainable Neural models in Question Answering • Explainable Neural models in Sentiment Analysis • Explainable Neural models in Opinion Mining • Explainable Neural models in SocialNLP • Evaluation techniques used to measure the quality of explanations • Tools for explaining explainability • Resources related to XAI in the context of NLP The Research Topic welcomes contributions toward interpretable models for efficient solutions to NLP research problems that explain the explainability of the proposed model using suitable explainability technique(s) (e.g., example-driven, provenance, feature importance, induction, surrogate models, etc.), visualization technique(s) (e.g., raw examples, saliency, raw declarative, etc.), and other aspects. Software toolkits or approaches that can help users express explainability to their models and ML pipelines are also welcome. The full Call for Papers is available at https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/48440/explainable-ai-in-natural… Impact of the publication: https://www.frontiersin.org/about/impact The current deadlines are: * Abstract Deadline:16 December 2022 - A soft deadline, thus whilst not mandatory, if you would like feedback on your prospective manuscript’s suitability, I encourage you to submit an abstract around this time. * Manuscript Deadline: 14 April 2023, This is a mandatory deadline for your full manuscript submission. However, we can accommodate personal extensions on a case-by-case basis.
