3rd CODI workshop: Deadline extension to July 28, 2022
by Chloé Braud 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

** apologies for cross-postings ** CODI, 3rd Workshop on Computational Approaches to Discourse Gyeongju, Republic of Korea ** Submission deadline: Extension to July 28, 2022 ** * Important information: The CODI workshop will be a hybrid workshop following COLING’s format. The workshop will take place on October 16-17, 2022. * 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 problems 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. At this juncture, we have organized two Workshops on Computational Approaches to Discourse (CODI) at EMNLP 2020 and at EMNLP 2021 to bring together discourse experts and upcoming researchers. These workshops have catalyzed the speed and knowledge needed to solve such 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 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. 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 3rd CODI workshop is planned as a 1 1/2 day event which brings together different subcommunities. It will feature invited talks and regular papers on the first day. The second day will be dedicated to shared tasks and special sessions which focus on the issues mentioned above. After a first successful iteration in 2021 the shared task on coreference resolution (encompassing entity and abstract coreference and bridging anaphora) in dialogue will be held again in 2022 as the CODI-CRAC 2022 Shared Task on Anaphora, Bridging, and Discourse Deixis in Dialogue, next to the CRAC 2022 Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution. Topics of interest We welcome 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 four categories of papers: regular workshop papers, demos, shared task papers and extended abstracts. Only regular workshop papers, shared task papers and demos will be included in the proceedings as archival publications. 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. Accepted long, short, and demo papers will be presented orally. Extended abstracts can describe work in progress or those already published elsewhere. These may be two pages long (without references). Extended abstracts are non-archival. They will be presented orally, and included in the workshop program and handbook, but will not appear in the workshop proceedings. Double submission of papers is allowed but will need to be notified at submission.

Shared Task on Dialect Identification
by Salam Khalifa 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hello All, We are pleased to announce the *Nuanced Arabic Dialect Identification (NADI)* shared task as part of the Workshop on Arabic NLP WANLP2022 <https://sites.google.com/view/wanlp2022/>. *Summary:* Arabic has a widely varying collection of dialects. Many of these dialects remain under-studied due to the rarity of resources. The goal of the Nuanced Arabic Dialect Identification (NADI) shared task series is to alleviate this bottleneck by providing datasets and modeling opportunities for participants to carry out dialect identification. Dialect identification is the task of automatically detecting the source variety of a given text or speech segment. In addition to nuanced dialect identification at the country level, NADI 2022 also offers a new subtask focused on country-level sentiment analysis. While we invite participation in either of the two subtasks, we hope that teams will submit systems to both tasks (i.e., participate in the two tasks rather than only one task). By offering two subtasks, we hope to receive systems that exploit diverse machine learning architectures. This could include multi-task learning systems as well as sequence-to-sequence architectures in a single model such as the text-to-text Transformer. Other approaches could also be possible. We introduce the two subtasks next. *Organizers:* Muhammad Abdul-Mageed, Chiyu Zhang, Abdelrahim Elmadany, Nizar Habash, and Houda Bouamor. To find more information about the shared task please visit: https://nadi.dlnlp.ai/ Looking forward to your participation, Salam Khalifa (On behalf of the WANLP publicity chairs) -- *Salam Khalifa* *PhD Student* *Linguistics Department* *Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS)* *Stony Brook University* salam.khalifa(a)stonybrook.edu

Dear colleagues You may be interested to know that I am guest editing a special issue of the Research in Corpus Linguistics (RiCL) journal on "Innovations in the compilation and analysis of spoken corpora". The deadline for proposals is in October. Please find more information below. If this is of interest to you and you would like to discuss any ideas you may have, then please don't hesitate to email me directly. Best wishes Robbie *** Corpora derived from recordings of spoken language present unique challenges for linguists, from the perspectives of corpus design, compilation, processing and analysis, among others. Over the last few decades, there have been many developments in these areas, largely driven by technological innovations, for example: the ubiquity of digital recording devices for the easy capture of speech; the wide availability of video and audio data, from a variety of discourse contexts; advancements in automated transcription; developments in the exploitation of multimodal corpora; and advancements in the functionality of popular corpus tools to process highly-annotated corpora. This special issue of RiCL intends to capture recent innovations in the compilation and analysis of spoken corpora - both monomodal and multimodal - and highlight the current challenges and future opportunities in this area of study. Potential topics for the special issue include innovations in: * The design of (monomodal or multimodal) spoken corpora in a variety of domains * The collection, processing and exploitation of metadata (e.g. social variables, contextual variables, etc.) * The transcription of audio or audio-visual data * The analysis of spoken corpora, including but not limited to: theoretical frameworks, tool development, visualisation * The generation of knowledge about language and communication deriving from spoken corpora * The annotation and processing of spoken corpus data * The applications and impacts of spoken corpus analysis * The compilation and analysis of spoken corpora in lesser-studied language varieties This is an indicative and non-exhaustive list. To be clear, research on any language variet(y/ies) is welcome. If you have an idea but are not sure whether it would be suitable, please get in touch. Important Dates * Deadline for proposals: October 7, 2022 * Outcome of proposal review: October 28, 2022 * Deadline for manuscript first drafts: May 5, 2023 * Notification of reviewer outcome: September 1, 2023 * Deadline for manuscript final drafts: December 15, 2023 Special issue publication: Spring 2024 Proposal Format & Submission Submit a one-page abstract and tentative title for your proposed paper.

PhD Position on Unified Foundation models for Speech-to-Speech Translation at FBK and Naver Labs Europe
by Matteo Negri 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

-- Apologies for cross-posting. -- Have you recently completed or expect very soon an MSc or equivalent degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, engineering, or a related area? Are you interested in carrying out research on Speech-to-Speech Translation during the next few years? Are you excited to spend a part of your life in 2 pleasant alpine cities in France (Grenoble) and Italy (Trento)? WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!! The Machine Translation <https://ict.fbk.eu/units/hlt-mt/> (MT) group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Trento, Italy) in conjunction with Naver Labs Europe <https://europe.naverlabs.com/> (Grenoble, France) are pleased to announce the availability of the following fully-funded Ph.D. position at the Doctorate Program in Industrial Innovation of the University of Trento and Fondazione Bruno Kessler <https://iid.unitn.it/>. TITLE: Unified Foundation models for Speech-to-Speech Translation DESCRIPTION: Current trends in Artificial Intelligence are characterized by the migration from “task-specific models” to the so-called “foundation models”. The former are usually trained on large datasets labelled for specific target applications. The latter, much more reusable and flexible, are trained on a variety of unlabeled data to perform different tasks with minimal fine-tuning. In recent years, the introduction of such models (e.g. BERT, GPT-3) has opened an unprecedented range of opportunities, with an explosion of AI applications fueled by the power of transfer learning across diverse data and tasks. In line with this trend, this PhD aims at investigating and training deep neural architectures to build large multimodal sequence-to-sequence models able to encode input speech and text in a common space, also being able to decode output text or speech from a common representation. Such a multimodal architecture, if then made multilingual, will become the future unified foundation model for building automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech synthesis (TTS), speech-to-text translation (S2T) and speech-to-speech translation (S2S) systems from a single backbone. REQUIRED SKILLS: The ideal candidate must have recently completed or expect by October 31st, 2022, an MSc or equivalent degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, engineering, or a closely related area. In addition, the applicant should: - Have interest in Machine and Speech Translation - Have experience in deep learning and machine learning, in general - Have good programming skills in Python and experience in PyTorch - Enjoy working with real-world problems and large data sets - Have good knowledge of written and spoken English - Enjoy working in a closely collaborating international team Working Environment The doctoral student will be employed at the MT group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler and will work for an equivalent amount of time in two different labs (TBD): - The NLP team at Naver Labs Europe (Grenoble, France) - The Machine Translation (MT) group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Trento, Italy) NAVER LABS is the R&D subsidiary of NAVER, Korea’s leading internet company. FBK has trained many scientists nowadays employed in leading IT companies in the world. Both groups have a long tradition in research on machine and speech translation. Benefits Fondazione Bruno Kessler offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, full reimbursement for conferences and summer schools, a competitive scholarship, an excellent team of supervisors and mentors, help for housing search, full health insurance, the possibility of Italian courses, sporting facilities, and free canteen at lunch During the student’s research stays at Naver Labs Europe (Grenoble, France), accommodation and travel expenses from and to Trento will be fully covered.
