Kind regards, Stephanie *One-year fulltime research assistant position at University College Dublin* *Start Date* 1st October 2024 *Duration* 12 months *Deadline* 15 July, noon IST *Full ad* https://my.corehr.com/pls/coreportal_ucdp/apply?id=017399 University College Dublin is currently recruiting a researcher to implement natural language processing (NLP) tools to interviews, speeches, and newspaper articles. The research assistant will support the development of tools to identify and analyse so-called cognitive maps (Axelrod 1976). Dornschneider and Henderson (2016, 2023) and Dornschneider (2019) have developed tools for the computational analysis of cognitive maps. What is needed is a set of tools to infer cognitive maps from natural language. This Irish Research Council funded project investigates the role of women in Muslim resistance movements. The cognitive mapping analysis has several main objectives: 1- to show typical behavioral decisions (e.g. to join a resistance a movement) described by the interviewees; 2- to identify common reasoning processes related to these decisions; and 3- to trace the role of religious beliefs in these reasoning processes. The research assistant will work with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Stephanie Dornschneider-Elkink, to deliver the research objectives of the project. Tasks will include but are not limited to POS tagging, sequence analysis, word embeddings, and visualization. Principal duties • Work under the supervision of the Principal Investigator to implement the objectives of the IRC project • Apply quantitative text analysis to interviews, speeches, and newspaper articles • Help generate and analyse cognitive maps • Web scraping Mandatory requirements • Some undergraduate or graduate-level training in quantitative research methods, data science, or quantitative text analysis/NLP • Preferably a political science, data science, and/ or computer science background • Experience with programming in R and/ or Python • Ability to work independently and take the initiative to implement the outlined tasks • Report to the team and PI on a regular basis • Candidates must demonstrate an awareness of equality, diversity and inclusion agenda. *References* Axelrod, R.

Call for Abstracts - Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science (RAILS)
by Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb 13 Jun '24

13 Jun '24

Dear all, We are delighted to announce the upcoming 2nd edition of the conference on "Rational Approaches in Language Science" (RAILS), which will be organized by the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1102 "Information Density and Linguistic Encoding“ (https://sfb1102.uni-saarland.de/). The central theme of this conference is (bounded) rational communication, i.e. the idea that language users continuously strive to optimize their means of communication to effectively convey their intended messages. Thus, rational communication has consequences on how recipients encode and remember information, and it also impacts language variation and change. RAILS will bring together researchers from various fields investigating how information dynamics, rational communication and memory interact with language use, variation, and change. We welcome contributions on (1) how interlocutors process and update information in diverse situational contexts; (2) how language use is adapted to certain contexts and intended referents and (3) how linguistic and conceptual information is stored and maintained in short- and long-term memory. Ultimately, the goal of the conference is to gain deeper insights into the complexities of language use and its dynamic nature in different settings. We invite submissions from researchers across the language sciences – including speech science, theoretical linguistics, empirical linguistics, psycholinguistics and neuroscience, computational linguistics, as well as language development, change and evolution – who apply rational probabilistic explanations to linguistic phenomena, or bring novel experimental findings to bear on such accounts. Submission We accept submissions for posters and/or talks. Talks are slated for 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words (Times New Roman size 12, with one additional page for example, tables, figures and (selected) references). Titles should be centered at the top of the page, in bold and upper case. Please ensure the abstract is fully anonymous: authors’ names or affiliations should not be indicated anywhere in the document or in the metadata. Important dates Submissions open: July 8th 2024 Submissions due: Sept 16th 2024 Notification of acceptance: Nov 4th 2024 Registration period: 11th Nov – 16th Dec 2024 Final abstract submission: Dec 2nd 2024 PD Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb Assistant Professor / Akademische Rätin Universität des Saarlandes Language Science and Technology Campus A2.2, 1.06 66123 Saarbrücken Tel.: ++49 681 302 70077 E-Mail: s.degaetano(a)mx.uni-saarland.de www.stefaniadegaetano.com

[POST DOCTORAL POSITION] Contextual Information Inference for Argument Mining
by Anaïs Ollagnier UNICA 12 Jun '24

12 Jun '24

*Bonjour,* * (english announcement follows) Dans le cadre du projet CIIAM (Contextual Information Inference for Argument Mining) financé par l’Académie d’Excellence Réseaux, Information et Société Numérique, visant à renforcer la robustesse des techniques de fouille d'arguments par la synthétisation d’informations contextuelles relevant des aspects multimodaux de la communication. Nous invitons les doctorant(e)s en fin de thèse et les jeunes docteur(e)s à candidater à un postdoctorat sur "l'Amélioration de la fouille d’argument par la synthétisation d’information contextuelle" (12 mois). -------- Contexte -------- Parvenir à appréhender les structures argumentatives dans les entrées en langage naturel constitue une étape clé pour de nombreuses tâches relevant du domaine du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), telles que le résumé automatique ou l'analyse de débats politiques. Bien que des progrès significatifs aient été réalisés grâce à l'avènement des modèles de langue pré-entraînés, ils ne saisissent pas toujours l'ensemble des connaissances linguistiques nécessaires pour une compréhension contextuelle fine et l'établissement d'inférences pertinentes. Face à ces limitations, notre projet vise à explorer l'inclusion de la dimension d'analyse linguistique liée à la pragmatique. Cette approche se veut particulièrement novatrice, car la pragmatique, en raison de sa complexité à être formalisée, est très peu étudiée d'un point de vue computationnel. C’est à travers l'utilisation des dernières techniques de pointe en matière de "prompting" que nous souhaitons pallier les écueils des méthodes existantes, tels que la variabilité culturelle et l’implicite. --------------- Pour candidater --------------- Sujet détaillé : https://aollagnier.github.io/publications/CIIAM%20PostDoc%20DETAILS.pdf Début du contrat : Octobre 2024, au plus tard Durée du contrat : 12 mois Les candidatures comprenant un CV scientifique, une lettre de motivation et des lettres de recommandation doivent être envoyées à Anaïs Ollagnier (ollagnier(a)i3s.unice.fr) Date limite : 14 Juin 2024 Laboratoire d'accueil : I3S, Sophia-Antipolis, France Au plaisir de vous lire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the context of the CIIAM project (Contextual Information Inference for Argument Mining), funded through the France 2030 investment plan managed by the National Research Agency (ANR), as part of the Initiative of Excellence Université Côte d’Azur, aiming to enhance the robustness of argument mining techniques through the synthesis of contextual information relevant to multimodal aspects of communication. We invite doctoral candidates nearing completion of their thesis and young PhD graduates to apply for a postdoctoral position on "Improving Argument Mining through the Synthesis of Contextual Information" (12 months). -------- Context -------- Understanding argumentative structures in natural language inputs is a key step for many tasks in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), such as automatic summarization or analysis of political debates. Although significant progress has been made with the advent of pre-trained language models, they do not always grasp all the linguistic knowledge necessary for fine contextual understanding and the establishment of relevant inferences. Faced with these limitations, our project aims to explore the inclusion of linguistic analysis dimension related to pragmatics. This approach is particularly innovative because pragmatics, due to its complexity in formalization, has been scarcely studied from a computational perspective. It is through the use of the latest cutting-edge prompting techniques that we aim to overcome the pitfalls of existing methods, such as cultural variability and implicit knowledge. --------------- To Apply --------------- Detailed subject: https://aollagnier.github.io/publications/CIIAM%20PostDoc%20DETAILS.pdf Contract start: October 2024, at the latest Contract duration: 12 months Applications including a scientific CV, a motivation letter, and recommendation letters should be sent to Anaïs Ollagnier (ollagnier(a)i3s.unice.fr) Deadline: June 14, 2024 Hosting laboratory: I3S, Sophia-Antipolis, France * -- Anaïs OLLAGNIER Junior Fellow in AI 3IA Université Côte d'Azur (Polytech Nice) | I3S | INRIA wimmics team -------------------------------------------- Templiers 1, Bureau 414, 930 Route des Colles, BP 145 06903 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France anais.ollagnier(a)inria.fr |https://aollagnier.github.io/

A document level metric for TFIDF for auction entries
by fhmbh＠leeds.ac.uk 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Dear community, I am running a clustering experiment for my project using various metrics to cluster fine art auction catalogue entries. Using domain knowledge, I have extracted certain features from the text to cluster. Alongside these specialist features, I would like to input some form of Tfidf metric that measures the semantics and vocabulary used relative to the rest of the vocabulary used in other entries as a corpus of words. The step I have taken so far: Text preprocessing and cleaning Tokenization TFIDF vector processing with scikit From TFIDF scores of individual words calculated a mean TFIDF score across a document (auction entry) My feeling is that this might have some weaknesses (skew impact from longer documents in the corpus / or impact of high TDIDF scores from shorter documents) but could capture some of the rarer choices of vocabulary in a sentence relative to other entries. The idea behind the average TFIDF score is to get a document level capture of how unusual the vocabulary - in a specific document - is is relative to the entire corpus of auction entries. I would be interested to hear if anyone has had experience with such a methodology or even any feedback on it. Does anyone in the group have any experience or thoughts on this as a sentence/document level information capture? Other word and sentence embeddings are clear alternatives but I favour TFIDF as it has the advantage of being specific to the vocabulary used in my domain specialist data set. Best wishes, Mathew

The 22nd International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories – FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
by heike.zinsmeister＠uni-hamburg.de 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

[With apologies for cross-posting] We are excited to announce the 22nd International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2024), which will bring together developers and users of linguistically annotated natural language corpora. The workshop is endorsed by ACL SIGPARSE and will be hosted by Universität Hamburg in Germany on December 5th-6th, 2024. ----------------------------- VENUE ----------------------------- TLT 2024 will take place at the guest house of Universität Hamburg. In order to support rich discussions and networking, TLT 2024 will primarily be an in-person event; we will, however, accommodate a limited number of live / synchronous remote presentations, prioritizing those with circumstances that prevent travel. Universität Hamburg and its guest house are conveniently located near the Dammtor train station / metro station Stephansplatz which are well-connected with many parts of the city and beyond, providing an easy commute for attendees. Hamburg is a vibrant city known for its rich maritime history as one of the leading cities in the medieval Hanseatic League, as well as its modern cultural diversity, including events at the world-famous Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall. The city is easily accessible by train or plane (Hamburg Airport (HAM); about 1 to 1.5 hours train ride: Bremen Airport (BRE) and Hannover Airport (HAJ)). ----------------------------- SUBMISSION INFORMATION ----------------------------- TLT addresses all aspects of treebank design, development, and use. As ‘treebanks’ we consider any pairing of natural language data (spoken, signed, or written) with annotations of linguistic structure at various levels of analysis, including, e.g., morpho-phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. Annotations can take any form (including trees or general graphs), but they should be encoded in a way that enables computational processing. Reflections on the design of linguistic annotations, methodology studies, resource announcements or updates, annotation or conversion tool development, or reports on treebank usage including probing the leakage of treebanks into large language models are but some examples of the types of papers we anticipate for TLT. Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees. We invite paper submissions in two distinct tracks: * regular papers on substantial and original research, including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate; * short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces. Submissions (in both tracks) may either be archival—in case of unpublished work—or non-archival, based on the wish of the authors. All archival papers accepted for presentation at the workshop will be included in the TLT 2024 proceedings volume, which will be part of the ACL Anthology. Non-archival papers must have been published or accepted for publication at another CL conference. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content (excluding references and appendices). Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content (excluding references and appendices). Accepted papers will be given an additional page to address reviewer comments. All submissions should follow the two-column format and the ACL style guidelines. We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files, OpenDocument, or Microsoft Word templates created for ACL: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files Submissions will be reviewed double-blind, and all full and short papers must be anonymous, i.e. not reveal author(s) on the title page or through self-references. So e.g., “We previously showed (Smith, 2020) …”, should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as “Smith (2020) previously showed …. Papers must be submitted digitally, in PDF, and uploaded through the on-line conference system (link forthcoming). Submissions that violate these requirements will be rejected without review. ----------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- * Long and short paper submission deadlines: August 15th, 2024 * Reviews Due: September 26th, 2024 * Notification of acceptance: October 6th, 2024 * Final version of papers due: November 6th, 2024 * TLT2024: December 5th-6th, 2024 in Hamburg ----------------------------- TLT2024 WORKSHOP CHAIRS ----------------------------- Daniel Dakota, Indiana University Sandra Kübler, Indiana University Heike Zinsmeister, Universität Hamburg ----------------------------- TLT2024 COMMUNICATION CHAIR ----------------------------- Sarah Jablotschkin, Universität Hamburg Contact: tlt2024.gw(a)uni-hamburg.de Website: https://www.korpuslab.uni-hamburg.de/en/tlt2024.html
