2nd CfP: 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10)
by Marc Kupietz 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

2nd call for papers: ICLC-10 The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to announce the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10). The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023. The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of contrastive research in linguistics. We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following: * Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well as matters such as register and socio- cultural context * The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research * The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research * The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics * The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus linguistics * Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative, constructional approaches) * Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability, incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language universals) * Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments, surveys) * The significance of the contrastive perspective for language- specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers. Keynote speakers are: * Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics, Germany) * Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands) * Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium) * Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Germany) * Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway) The conference will include a poster session. The conference language will be English. Following the conference, all participants will be offered the possibility to submit their contribution for publication in a volume of selected conference papers.

17 Nov '22

*Natural Language Processing acceleration: foundations and applications** **Two complementary courses on Deep Learning and NLP* January and February, 2023. San Sebastian, Spain ONSITE ATTENDANCE ONLY HANDS-ON, YOU LEARN TO IMPLEMENT THE MODELS http://ixa.eus/NLPacceleration Deep Learning neural network models have been successfully applied to natural language processing, and are now changing radically how we interact with machines (Siri, Alexa, machine translation or the Google search engine). Large Language Models are at the core of these developments, and are being used to crack "languages" in other disciplines, ranging from programming languages (Copilot) to proteins (AlphaFold) and gene sequences (GenSLM). You can take either one or both courses: Deep Learning for NLP <https://ixa.eus/dl4nlp> (January 9th to 27th, 35 hours, 14 evenings. 11th edition): This course introduces in detail the machinery that makes Deep Learning work for NLP, including the latest transformers and large language models like GPT, BERT and T5. It also covers the use of prompts for zero-shot and few-shot learning, as well as multimodal text-image models like DALL-E. The course combines theoretical and practical hands-on classes. Attendants will be able to understand the internal working of the models, and implement them nearly from scratch in Tensorflow. The aim is to allow attendees to acquire the ability to understand, modify and apply current and future Deep Learning models to NLP and other areas. Introduction to LT Applications <https://ixa.eus/iltapp> (July 11th to 15th, 20 hours, 5 afternoons. 3rd edition): This course introduces the main techniques to build applications, and apply them to core Language Technology applications such us Opinion Mining, Named Entity Recognition, Fake News Detection or Question Answering. The course will have a practical focus, learning to use readily available LT toolkits (Spacy, Flair, etc.). The aim is to allow attendees to acquire the required autonomy to apply LT technologies to target applications. *Registration* has to be done for each course, see respective websites. Note that you only need to pay the insurance for one of the courses.

CFP: Advanced Robotics Special Issue on Multimodal Processing and Robotics for Dialogue Systems
by Ryuichiro Higashinaka 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Dear all, It is my great pleasure to announce that we have a special issue on "Multimodal Processing and Robotics for Dialogue Systems" in the journal of Advanced Robotics (Taylor & Francis). Please consider submitting your original paper to this special issue. The deadline is 31 Jan. 2023. https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/advanced-robotics-multimo… https://www.rsj.or.jp/content/files/pub/ar/CFP/CFP_37_21.pdf I would also appreciate it if you could help distribute the CFP and encourage your colleagues to make submissions. Best regards, Ryuichiro Higashinaka on behalf of guest editors ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// [Call for Papers] Advanced Robotics Special Issue on Multimodal Processing and Robotics for Dialogue Systems Co-Editors: Prof. David Traum (University of Southern California, USA) Prof. Gabriel Skantze (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) Prof. Hiromitsu Nishizaki (University of Yamanashi, Japan) Prof. Ryuichiro Higashinaka (Nagoya University, Japan) Dr. Takashi Minato (RIKEN/ATR, Japan) Prof. Takayuki Nagai (Osaka University, Japan) Publication in Vol. 37, Issue 21 (Nov 2023) SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 31 Jan 2023 In recent years, as seen in smart speakers such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa, there has been remarkable progress in spoken dialogue systems technology to converse with users with human-like utterances. In the future, such dialogue systems are expected to support our daily activities in various ways. However, dialogue in daily activities is more complex than that with smart speakers; even with current spoken dialogue technology, it is still difficult to maintain a successful dialogue in various situations. For example, in customer service through dialogue, it is necessary for operators to respond appropriately to the different ways of speaking and requests of various customers. In such cases, we humans can switch the speaking manner depending on the type of customer, and we can successfully perform the dialogue by not only using our voice but also our gaze and facial expressions. This type of human-like interaction is far from possible with the existing spoken dialogue systems. Humanoid robots have the possibility to realize such an interaction, because they can recognize not only the user's voice but also facial expressions and gestures using various sensors, and can express themselves in various ways such as gestures and facial expressions using their bodies. Their many means of expressions have the potential to successfully continue dialogue in a manner different from conventional dialogue systems. The combination of such robots and dialogue systems can greatly expand the possibilities of dialogue systems, while at the same time, providing a variety of new challenges. Various research and development efforts are currently underway to address these new challenges, including "dialogue robot competition" at IROS2022. In this special issue, we invite a wide range of papers on multimodal dialogue systems and dialogue robots, their applications, and fundamental research. Prospective contributed papers are invited to cover, but are not limited to, the following topics on multimodal dialogue systems and robots: *Spoken dialogue processing *Multimodal processing *Speech recognition *Text-to-speech *Emotion recognition *Motion generation *Facial expression generation *System architecture *Natural language processing *Knowledge representation *Benchmarking *Evaluation method *Ethics *Dialogue systems and robots for competition Submission: The full-length manuscript (either PDF file or MS word file) should be sent by 31st Jan 2023 to the office of Advanced Robotics, the Robotics Society of Japan through the on-line submission system of the journal (https://www.rsj.or.jp/AR/submission). Sample manuscript templates and detailed instructions for authors are available at the website of the journal.

Here are some examples in different languages where entities are enclosed inside brackets with their type: - *English: [wes anderson | Artist]*'s film *[the grand budapest hotel | VisualWork]* opened the festival . - *Spanish:* fue superado por el [aon center | Facility] de [los ángeles | HumanSettlement] . - *Ukranian:* назва альбому походить з роману « *[кінець дитинства | WrittenWork]* » англійського письменника* [артура кларка | Artist]* . - *Swedish: [tom hamilton | Artist]* amerikansk musiker basist i *[aerosmith | MusicalGRP]* . - *Portuguese:* também é utilizado para se fazer *[licor | Drink]* e *[vinhos | Drink]*. - *Hindi:* १७९६ में उन्हें *[शाही स्वीडिश विज्ञान अकादमी | Facility]* का सदस्य चुना गया। - *French:* l *[amiral de coligny | Politician]* réussit à s y glisser . - *German:* in *[frühgeborenes | Disease]* führt dies zu *[irds | Symptom]* . - *Bangla [লিটল মিক্স | MusicalGrp]* এ যোগদানের আগে তিনি *[পিৎজা হাট | ORG]* এ ওয়েট্রেস হিসাবে কাজ করেছিলেন। - *Italian*: è conservato nel [rijksmuseum | Facility] di [amsterdam | HumanSettlement] . - *Chinese:* 它的纤维穿过 [锁骨 | AnatomicalStructure] 并沿颈部侧面倾斜向上和内侧. - *Farsi: *مرکزاین استان شهر [ناگویا |HumanSettlement] است Additionally, a *multilingual NER track* is also offered for multilingual systems that can process all languages. The task focuses on detecting semantically ambiguous and complex entities in short and low-context settings. Participants are welcome to build NER systems for any number of languages. And we encourage to aim for a bigger challenge of building NER systems for multiple languages. We have released training data for 12 languages along with a baseline system to start with. Participants can submit their system for one language but are encouraged to aim for a bigger challenge and build multi-lingual NER systems. *Task Website:* https://multiconer.github.io/ *Mailing List:* multiconer-semeval(a)googlegroups.com *Slack Workspace:* https://join.slack.com/t/multiconer /shared_invite/zt-vi3g97cx-MpqTvS07XX22S78nRC2s0Q *Training Data:* https://multiconer.github.io/dataset *Baseline System:* https://multiconer.github.io/baseline *Shared task schedule:* - Evaluation start: mid-January, 2022 - Evaluation end: by January 31, 2023 (latest date; task organizers may choose an earlier date) - System description paper submissions due: February 1, 2023 - Notification to authors: March 1, 2023 *Task organizers* - Shervin Malmasi (Amazon) - Besnik Fetahu (Amazon) - Sudipta Kar (Amazon) Please reach out to the organizers at multiconer -semeval-organizers(a)googlegroups.com, or join the Slack workspace to connect with the other participants and organizers.
