Call for Participation - CoLI-Dravidian@FIRE 2024: Word-level Code-Mixed Language Identification in Dravidian Languages
by Sabur B 29 Jun '24

29 Jun '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.

CfP Second Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics
by Claudia Posch Gmail 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

Call: Second Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics Digital linguistics is a growing interdisciplinary field at the intersection of linguistics, information technology, and the social sciences. This is reflected by the growing number of new projects, publication series, and university courses. A central focus of digital linguistics is language data, i.e., digital artifacts that use human language as a form of expression. The range of this language data includes social media content, parliamentary transcripts, newspapers and medieval manuscripts, among others. Such data is processed, annotated, analyzed, curated, shared, archived, and reused, among other activities. Therefore, the topics covered in this workshop span from the creation of digital language resources (corpora, dictionaries, etc.) and their analysis (e.g., semantic change detection, emotion and sentiment analysis), to the use of standards and research infrastructures, as well as methods for long-term archiving or reuse of language data. The variety of research in this field in Austria was shown during the first Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics and the previous Austrian Meetings on Sentiment Inferenz (ÖTSI 2021, 2023), where 37 researchers from different Austrian and international research institutions presented their projects. This year’s workshop “Second Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics” is a follow-up of these workshops. Again, the aim of the workshop is to highlight recent developments in the Austrian research landscape and to connect different projects working with or on methods in digital linguistics, as well as the researchers involved. The workshop aims to facilitate the exchange of methodological insights and the creation of synergies through the mutual sharing of digital language resources, also within the framework of the research infrastructure CLARIAH-AT. Furthermore, the workshop also addresses international researchers, who are working in the field of digital linguistics and who want to present their research and exchange and connect with the Austrian research community. *Submissions* Abstracts (approx. 400 words, in PDF format) for presentations (20 minutes, in German or English) on topics related to digital linguistics can be submitted until September 15, 2024, to the following email address digital-linguistics(a)uibk.ac.at. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 workshop organizers. https://clariah.at/de/news/call-second-austrian-meeting-on-digital-linguist… <https://clariah.at/de/news/call-second-austrian-meeting-on-digital-linguist…> (Deutsch) https://clariah.at/en/news/call-second-austrian-meeting-on-digital-linguist… <https://clariah.at/en/news/call-second-austrian-meeting-on-digital-linguist…> (English) *Travel cost support* Upon acceptance of the abstract, travel cost support can be provided by CLARIAH-AT if needed. *Workshop organizers* Tanja Wissik, Austrian Academy of Sciences, tanja.wissik(a)oeaw.ac.at Karlheinz Mörth, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Karlheinz.Moerth(a)oeaw.ac.at Andreas Baumann, University Wien, andreas.baumann(a)univie.ac.at Julia Neidhardt, TU Wien, julia.neidhardt(a)tuwien.ac.at Claudia Posch, University Innsbruck, claudia.posch(a)uibk.ac.at Gerhard Rampl, University Innsbruck, gerhard.rampl(a)uibk.ac.at

[CfP] LaCATODA 2024 at PRICAI 2024, Kyoto, Japan (Linguistic and Cognitive Approaches to Dialog Agents)
by Ptaszynski Michal 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

** Sorry for cross-postings ** This is Michal Ptaszynski from KIT, Japan. We are organizing LaCATODA workshop at PRICAI in Kyoto this year. Please, consider sending a paper. :) Best regards, Michal PTASZYNSKI, Ph.D., Associate Professor Text Information Processing Laboratory, Kitami Institute of Technology, 165 Koen-cho, Kitami, 090-8507, Japan TEL/FAX: +81-157-26-9327 michal(a)mail.kitami-it.ac.jp ========================================================== The Ninth Linguistic and Cognitive Approaches to Dialog Agents (LaCATODA 2024) (PRICAI 2024 Workshop) https://sites.google.com/view/lacatoda2024 Venue: Kyoto, Japan & online (in conjunction with PRICAI 2024, https://www.pricai.org/2024/) ========================================================== Short Description: A multidisciplinary workshop for researchers who develop more sophisticated dialog agents and methods for achieving more natural machine-generated conversation or study problems of human communication which are difficult to mimic algorithmically. Workshop Goals: The more human-like machine intelligence engineers develop, the more important is for them to be familiar with advances in fields traditionally focusing on humans — ethics, psychology, linguistics, or cognitive science. In the age of data explosion, advancing hardware and more powerful learning algorithms, it has been becoming obvious that we need to study mechanisms underlying what we call a natural dialog, how we track a conversation or what we remember. It is not enough to pay attention what information is conveyed but also how it is conveyed. For this reason we extend topics to knowledge-related topics to seek answers to questions like how an utterance can become harmful, amusing, beautiful or interesting. We aim to gather AI researchers who realize that in spite of current popularity of GenAI "chatbots", they are not really dialog systems and it is necessary to extend existing and propose new algorithms to perform natural conversation. We will call for papers regarding research not only on the latest trends but also on revisiting classic studies related to dialog and understanding, as the AI developments allow to utilize theories that had focused on human interaction and understanding in the past. The workshop intends to spark an interdisciplinary discussion on affect in dialog understanding and generation tasks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates: Paper Submission deadline: August 18th, 2024 (11:59PM UTC-12:00, "anywhere on Earth") Acceptance notification: September 18th, 2024 Camera ready deadline: October 1st, 2024 LaCATODA 2024 Workshop: 19 November 2024 Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lacatoda2024 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Relevant Topics: - Affective computing - Affect-related knowledge acquisition - Artificial assistants and tutors - Artificial General Intelligence - Attention and focus in dialog processing - Common sense knowledge and reasoning - Computational cognition - Daily life assistants - Emotional intelligence simulations - Ethical reasoning - Humor processing - Language acquisition - Machine learning for dialog - Text mining for dialog - Persona and user modeling - Philosophy of emotions in communication - Preference models - Retrieval-based dialog systems - Systems and approaches combining above topics Organizers: Rafal Rzepka, Hokkaido University, Japan Michal Ptaszynski, Kitami institute of Technology, Japan Pawel Dybala, Jagiellonian University, Poland Siaw-Fong Chung, National Chengchi University, Taiwan Jordi Vallverdú, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain
