** PhD Symposium deadline June 17th ** ** A week to go ** =============== =============== * We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://cikm2024.org/call-for-phd-symposium/ =============== CIKM 2024: 33rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management Boise, Idaho, USA October 21–25, 2024 =============== We are excited to invite Ph.D. students in databases (DB), information retrieval (IR), and knowledge management (KM) to submit their research proposals for the PhD Symposium at the 33rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2024). The conference will take place at the Boise Centre in Boise, Idaho, USA, from October 21 to 25, 2024. The PhD Symposium is designed to provide a supportive environment where doctoral students can present their ongoing research, receive feedback from experienced researchers, and engage with peers at similar stages of their doctoral journey. This event aims to foster discussions on research questions, methodologies, and preliminary results, contributing to the student’s doctoral research progression. CIKM 2024 is deeply committed to improving the field by making the research community more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. We highly encourage women and students from other underrepresented demographic groups to submit their work. -------------------------- Key Dates -------------------------- * Submission Deadline: 17 June 2024 * Acceptance Notification: 16 July 2024 * Camera-ready Version Due: 8 August 2024 * Doctoral Consortium: 25 October 2024 -------------------------- Symposium Objectives -------------------------- * Feedback and Guidance: Offer a platform for doctoral students to present their research and receive constructive feedback from the CIKM community’s senior researchers. * Community Building: Help participants network with other doctoral students and researchers, facilitating knowledge exchange and potential collaborations. * Insight into Career Paths: Through panel discussions and networking sessions, provide insights into career opportunities post-PhD in academia and industry. * Prospective attendees should have written or be close to completing a thesis proposal (or equivalent). It is desirable that students are not so close to completing their Ph.D. that the event would have little impact on their work. Similarly, students should not be so early in their Ph.D. program that a concrete topic has not been chosen yet. We strongly advise students to discuss this criterion with their advisor(s) or supervisor(s) before submitting. Doctoral students who submit to the Symposium are allowed to have previously published their research. They are encouraged to submit full, short, or demo papers of their work to the CIKM 2024 conference and associated workshops. -------------------------- Topics of Interest -------------------------- We welcome submissions across the broad spectrum of AI, data science, databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management.

Core metadata schema for interpreting corpora – inviting feedback
by Nannan Liu 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

Dear colleagues, Interpreting corpora are a type of language resource that interweaves multilingualism with multimodality, spoken with signed languages, and split-second processing with contextualised interactions. Compiling an interpreting corpus incurs significant efforts: annotating 1 hour of signs can take 320 hours (Wehrmeyer 2019), and transcribing oral features often defies automatic recognition. As the first step towards reusing such valuable datasets, we created the core metadata schema to consistently and informatively describe an interpreting corpus. The schema is based on a review of 114 corpora (see https://unic.dipintra.it/Metadata.aspx), FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016), international standards (International Organization for Standardization 2015, 2019), similar initiatives (e.g. Paquot et al. 2023), and ontologies of the interpreting community (e.g. Pöchhacker 2022). It is available at https://tinyurl.com/intpmetadata, and example implementations using four community, conference and sign language interpreting corpora can be found at https://tinyurl.com/intpmetadata-example. We’d like to encourage more colleagues to provide feedback on the schema by the end of July. The response at the CIUTI conference two weeks ago was heartening, and we invite you to co-create a metadata standard that fits the past, current and future needs of the interpreting community. Thank you for your cooperation. With best wishes, Nannan Liu and Mariachiara Russo References International Organization for Standardization (2015).

Monthly online ILFC Seminar: interactions between formal and computational linguistics
by Timothée Bernard 08 Jun '24

08 Jun '24

*Monthly online ILFC Seminar: interactions between formal and computational linguistics* https://gdr-lift.loria.fr/monthy-online-ilfc-seminar/ The LIFT 2 research group is happy to announce the two forthcoming sessions of the ILFC seminar on the interactions between formal and computational linguistics: - 2024/06/12 17:00-18:00 UTC+2: *Kenny Smith* (University of Edinburgh; 16:00-17:00 UTC+1) Title: *The evolution of linguistic regularities and exceptions* Abstract: *Languages persist through a cycle of learning and use - we learn the language of our community through immersion in that language, then in using that language to meet our communicative goals we generate more linguistic data which others learn from. In previous work we have used computational and experimental methods to show how this cycle of learning and use can explain some of the fundamental structural features shared by all languages - for example, the fact that all languages exploit regular rules for generating meaningful expressions allows languages to be both relatively learnable but also exceptionally powerful tools for communication. In this talk I’ll briefly review this older work on the evolution of regularity, then apply the same approach to understanding exceptions to those regular rules. Within individual languages, exceptions and irregularities tend not to be distributed randomly - idiosyncratic exceptions tend to occur for high-frequency items, with low-frequency items following the general regular rule. And languages spoken in small, isolated communities tend to have more irregularities, exceptions, and complexity in general than languages (like English) spoken in large heterogeneous communities. I’ll describe a recent series of experiments, using artificial language learning and iterated learning methods, showing how this distribution of irregularity within and across languages can be explained as a consequence of the same processes of learning and use that account for linguistic regularity.* - 2024/09/11 17:00-18:00 UTC+2: *Meaghan Fowlie* (Utrecht University) Title: [TBA] Abstract: [TBA] The seminar is held on Zoom.

EMNLP Workshop on the Future of Event Detection: 1st Call for Papers
by Joel Tetreault 08 Jun '24

08 Jun '24

(apologies for cross-posting) First Call for Papers Workshop on the Future of Event Detection Miami, USA November 15 or 16, 2024 (co-located with EMNLP 2024 <https://2024.emnlp.org/>) https://future-of-event-detection.github.io/ Submission Deadline: Thursday, August 15, 2024 11:59PM AoE Workshop Description In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the amount of publicly generated digital data. One prominent category of this data, and arguably the largest in terms of daily generation, pertains to various real-world events, ranging from natural disasters to political occurrences to sports events. Detecting these events serves various crucial purposes, including early warning systems, emergency response, situational awareness, tracking public health trends, and understanding societal shifts, among others. However, automatic real-time event detection presents intriguing challenges, primarily stemming from the characteristics of the data. These challenges include the diversity of public online data (multimodal nature), the rapid pace at which data is produced (velocity), the sheer volume of data generated, and the reliability of the data (veracity). Moreover, the recent advancements in powerful Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI Systems offer new opportunities to revise event detection pipelines, enabling novel approaches and applications across various domains. The workshop focuses on: - Looking forward and looking back: The workshop will solicit ideas on how the field of event detection should evolve over the next twenty years, as well as solicit papers reflecting on what has worked and not worked in the field thus far. - Expanding Beyond NLP: As noted above, there are many sibling areas that actively research event detection. Many of these areas have remained siloed and there is not much cross-communication though they are working on similar problem areas. This workshop seeks to address this by actively soliciting research and invited speakers from these areas. - Theory to Application: Finally, this workshop will emphasize how event detection technology can be used in real-world applications. We will solicit novel papers, including, but not limited to the following topics: - Position and opinion papers on the state and future of event detection - Retrospectives - Multimodal event detection - Large language models (LLMs) and their applications for event detection and related areas - Event detection on non-traditional sources of data - Inferring causal, temporal, coreference, and sub-event relations for events - Multilingual event detection - Event representation - Event ontology - Never-ending learning - Streaming algorithms for event detection - Interpretability of event detection methods - Bias detection and mitigation - Human-AI Interaction for event detection frameworks - Information visualization for events - Anomaly detection - Practical application of event detection for different domains such as emergency response - Usability of event detection systems - Datasets for Event Detection Important Dates All deadlines are 11:59 pm UTC-12 (anywhere on Earth). - Submission Deadline: Thursday, August 15 - Notification of Acceptance: Friday, September 20 - Camera Ready Deadline: Friday, October 4 - Workshop: either November 15 or 16 Submission Information We will be using the EMNLP Submission Guidelines <https://2024.emnlp.org/calls/main_conference_papers/#paper-submission-detai…> for the workshop. Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages of content with unlimited pages for references. We also invite short papers of up to 4 pages of content, including unlimited pages for references. Final camera ready versions of accepted papers will be given an additional page of content to address reviewer comments. Previously published papers cannot be accepted. The submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. As reviewing will be blind, please ensure that papers are anonymous. Self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Please note that unlike EMNLP, which uses ARR for submission management, we will be using the START conference system. The link will be made live when available. https://softconf.com/emnlp2024/FuturED/ <https://www.softconf.com/EMNLP2024/FuturED> Organizing Committee - Joel Tetreault <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Fn52EXUAAAAJ&hl=en>, Dataminr - Thien Huu Nguyen <https://ix.cs.uoregon.edu/~thien/>, University of Oregon - Hemank Lamba <https://sites.google.com/site/hemanklamba/home>, Dataminr - Amanda Hughes <https://cs.byu.edu/department/directory/faculty-directory/amanda-hughes/>, Brigham Young University Contact Information - Workshop contact email address: futureofeventdetection(a)googlegroup.com - Workshop Twitter: @FuturED2024 <https://x.com/FuturED2024>

CfProposals: ESSLLI 2025, July 28 - August 8, 2025, Bochum (Germany)
by ESSLLI Publicity 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

36th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2025) July 28-August 8, 2025, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany https://2025.esslli.eu/ (Please note that the Website is not currently online, but will soon be.) Important Dates ========================= *July 10, 2024:* Deadline for submitting course/workshop titles *July 24, 2024:* Deadline for submitting course/workshop proposals *October 15, 2024:* Notification sent to course/workshop proposers Note that submitting a proposal requires that the person submitting it has an OpenReview profile. Profiles created without an institutional email may go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks to be activated. Profiles created with an institutional email are activated automatically. Introduction ========================= Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, when the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at levels that run from foundational to introductory to advanced, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. Since 1989, ESSLLI has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities in the fields of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Logic, Philosophy, and beyond. It comes from a community which recognizes that advances in our common areas require the contributions of multiple interrelated disciplines. The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis on human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures. Topics and Format ========================= Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2025 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Science. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. During submission you will be asked to select one of three tracks “Language and Computation (LaCo)”, “Language and Logic (LaLo)”, “Logic and Computation (LoCo)”. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI Program Committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. Categories ========================= Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. Foundational Courses ------------------------------------------- Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. Introductory Courses ------------------------------------------- Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques.
