by maciej.ogrodniczuk＠gmail.com 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

<https://sites.google.com/view/crac2024/> CRAC 2024, the Seventh Workshop on Computational Models of Reference, Anaphora and Coreference, will be held at EMNLP 2024 <https://2024.emnlp.org/> in Miami on November 15, 2024. About the workshop The CRAC workshop is a forum for presenting work on all aspects of computational work on anaphora resolution and annotation, including both coreference and types of anaphora such as bridging reference resolution and discourse deixis. Since 2016, the annual CRAC <https://aclanthology.org/venues/crac/> (and its predecessor, CORBON <https://aclanthology.org/venues/corbon/> ) workshop has become the main forum for researchers interested in computational modelling of reference, anaphora and coreference to discuss and publish their results. Over the years, this workshop series has been held at major NLP conferences and has successfully organised 7 shared tasks, which stimulating interest in new problems in this research area, facilitating discussion and dissemination of results on new problems/directions (e.g. multimodal reference resolution). Topics of interest We are interested in your work on any aspect of theoretical or applied computational work on anaphora/coreference resolution. Some suggested topics include: - Coreference resolution for less-researched languages - Annotation and interpretation of anaphoric relations, including relations other than identity coreference (e.g., bridging references) - Investigation of difficult cases of anaphora and their resolution - Coreference resolution in noisy data (e.g. in social media) - New applications of coreference resolution - <https://universalanaphora.github.io/UniversalAnaphora/> Universal Anaphora - CorefUD <https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/corefud> CRAC 2024 Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution The workshop will also present the results of our Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution <https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/corefud/crac24> , based on 17 coreference datasets for 12 languages harmonized under a common CoNLL-U scheme. Important dates - Workshop papers due: August 22, 2024 - ARR commitment date: September 16, 2024 - Notification of acceptance: September 22, 2024 - Camera-ready papers due: October 4, 2024 - Workshop date: November 15, 2024 Paper categories - Research papers (theoretical computational linguistics, empirical/data-driven approaches, paradigms/techniques/strategies, analysis papers, resources and evaluation, negative result) - Survey papers (surveys a popular or emerging area of anaphora/coreference resolution) - Position papers (presents one side of an arguable opinion about an issue) - Challenge papers (a challenge to the field in terms of setting out a goal for the next 5/10/20 years) - Demo papers (systems, tools, visualizations) - Extended abstracts (describe work in progress) Double submission We allow for double submissions. Please indicate at the time of submission which other conference or workshop your work has been submitted to. We also invite authors of papers accepted for the Findings of major conferences (e.g. ACL, NAACL, EMNLP) to present their work at the workshop. If these papers have been removed from the Findings, they may be included in the workshop proceedings without further review. Submission link You can either submit your paper to SoftConf <https://softconf.com/emnlp2024/CRAC2024/> (by the August 22 submission deadline) or commit your ARR-reviewed paper to CRAC 2024 (by the September 16 commitment deadline). If you choose to commit your ARR-reviewed paper to CRAC, the latest ARR cycle to which you need to submit your paper for review is the June 2024 cycle. All submissions must follow the *ACL formatting instructions <https://acl-org.github.io/ACLPUB/formatting.html> . An Overleaf template <https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/association-for-computational-ling uistics-acl-conference/jvxskxpnznfj> is also available.

Second Call for Participation - CoLI-Dravidian@FIRE 2024: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages
by Sabur B 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

****We apologize for multiple postings of this e-mail**** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION FIRE 2024 Task - CoLI-Dravidian: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages Held as a shared task in the 16th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2024 <http://fire.irsi.org.in/fire/2024/home>) December 12-15, 2024. DAIICT, Gandhinagar, India Website: https://sites.google.com/view/coli-dravidian-2024/datasets?authuser=0 Codalab link: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/19357 Dear All, We are inviting researchers and students to participate in the shared task CoLI-Dravidian: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages, which is held as a shared task in the 16th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2024 <http://fire.irsi.org.in/fire/2024/home>). Language Identification (LI) involves detecting the language(s) used in a given text, which is a preliminary step for many applications such as sentiment analysis, machine translation, information retrieval, and natural language understanding. In multilingual India, especially among the youth, social media often features code-mixed text, blending local languages with English at various levels. However, this poses significant challenges for LI, particularly when languages are mixed within a single word. Dravidian languages, extensively spoken in southern India, are under-resourced despite their rich morphological structure. These languages face technological challenges, especially in script representation on digital platforms, leading users to prefer Roman or hybrid scripts for communication. This prevalent code-mixing offers vast linguistic data for research yet remains understudied. To address word-level LI challenges in code-mixed Dravidian languages, we are conducting a shared task by providing code-mixed datasets for four languages - Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Tulu, to encourage the development of advanced LI models. There will be a real-time leaderboard, and the participants will be allowed to make a maximum of 10 submissions in the training phase and 5 submissions in the testing phase through CodaLab. Each team will have to select the best submission for ranking. To download the data and participate, go to: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/19357. Best regards, The CoLI-Dravidian 2024 Organizing Committee Important dates - 14th June 2024 - open track websites and training data release - 1st July 2024– test data release - 25th July – run submission deadline - 27th July – results declared - 27th August – Working notes due - 10th September - Reviews - 30th October – Camera-ready copies of working notes NOTE: All dates mentioned here are in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) zone.

Jan Svartvik in memoriam
by Carita Paradis 07 Jul '24

07 Jul '24

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Emeritus Professor Jan Svartvik, Lund University, Sweden. Jan was born on 18 August 1931 in the county of Värmland in Sweden and died in Lund on 18 June 2024. He studied at Uppsala and University College London (UCL) and became Professor of English Language at Lund University in 1970, a chair he held for 25 years till his retirement. Jan is well-known for his early and innovative development of machine-readable corpora in collaboration with the Survey of English Usage at UCL, in particular the world’s first spoken corpus, London–Lund Corpus of spoken British English, launched in the mid-1970s. He wrote many books and articles, both single-authored publications and publications in collaboration with colleagues. Best-known of them all is perhaps the impressive Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (1985), which he co-authored with Randolph Quirk, Sidney Greenbaum and Geoffrey Leech. This grammar book is still one of the standard reference grammars of English. He was also known for working with Geoffrey Leech on A Communicative Grammar of English (third edition, 2002), English: One Tongue, Many Voices (2006). Jan played a leading role in the foundation of ICAME, the International Computer Archive of Medieval and Modern English, which he co-founded in 1977. ICAME grew into an important international organisation with a focus on the computational analysis of the English language. It has an annual conference which attracts scholars from all over the world. https://icame.info/history-the-beginnings/, Jan’s autobiography is here http://www.ucl.ac.uk/english-usage/about/svartvik.htm Carita Paradis Bas Aarts -- Professor Carita Paradis, PhD, MAE Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Box 201, SE-221 00 Lund Website:http://www.sol.lu.se/en/person/CaritaParadis [1664519590158]<https://projekt.ht.lu.se/llc2> When you send emails to Lund University, we process your personal data in accordance with existing legislation.
