[Last CFP and deadline extension] Special issue on Abusive Language Detection of the journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL)
by Farah Benamara 27 May '24

27 May '24

================[Apologies for any cross-posting]================ Dear Colleagues, Due to several requests, the deadline of the Special issue of the journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL) "Abusive Language Detection : Linguistic Resources, Methods and Applications" *has been extended to June 15th*. **Guest Editors** Farah Benamara (IRIT-Toulouse University, IPAL Singapore), Delphine Battistelli (MoDyCo, Paris Nanterre University) and Viviana Patti (Turin University) **Motivations** Abusive language - or, in another very common terminology, hate speech - and the propagation of harmful stereotypes have unfortunately become commonplace occurrences on various social media platforms, partly due to users’ freedom and anonymity and the lack of regulation provided by these platforms. The sheer volume and often implicit nature of such unwanted content make manual moderation of these user spaces a formidable task. Various scientific communities interested in its at least partial automation have taken up the problem over the past ten years. In particular, Computational Social Science, Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics have proposed numerous works to create resources, datasets, and models aimed at automating the task of abusive language detection (henceforth ALD). In fact, we see that ALD has become a research theme in its own right in the field of Natural Language Processing with an abundant literature. Abusive language (umbrella term to refer to the various forms of harmful language, such as toxic, offensive language, hate speech, and stereotypes) is topically focused and each specific manifestation of abusive language targets different vulnerable groups based on characteristics such as gender (misogyny, sexism), ethnicity, race, religion (xenophobia, racism, Islamophobia), sexual orientation (homophobia), and so on. Most automatic ALD approaches cast the problem into a binary classification task but important considerations should be taken into account, in particular: (1) the topical focus or the target-oriented nature of hate speech ; (2) the degree of engagement of users in abusive content (e.g., denunciation, approbation, reporting, neutral attitude) ; (3) the question of stereotypes and dominant ideologies ; (4) the question of linguistic strategies more particularly linked or born with social networks (e.g., emoticons, hashtags). Furthermore, most of the work (resources, classifiers) is developed for English. **Topics** Motivated by the interest of the community in the problem of ALD, we invite papers from Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Computational Social Sciences. We explicitly encourage interdisciplinary submissions (resources, computational methods, and user applications at the interface of linguistics/psychology/socio-linguistics/sociology) but also position papers on the actual state of the art in the field discussing the limitations of the current approaches and directions for future work. The topics covered by the special issue include, but are not limited to: -- Linguistic resources and evaluation: annotation schemes, corpus linguistics studies, new datasets, with a particular interest in French language and/or multilingual resources. In the case of strictly lexical resources: methods for constituting them and coverage, semantic categories retained. -- Formal/Conceptual approaches for ALD as inspired by models in sociology, socio-linguistics and psychology. -- Models and Methods: supervised and unsupervised approaches, including LLMs. -- Role of contextual phenomena, including discourses, extra-linguistic contexts (e.g., cultural aspects). -- Models for cross-lingual and multimodal detection. -- New approaches beyond binary classification: target-oriented ALD, degrees of user engagement, etc. -- Dynamics of online AL in social media, propaganda propagation. -- Bias detection and removal in resource creation, datasets and methods. -- Application of ALD tools in education, social media content moderation, etc. -- Social, legal, and ethical implications of detecting, monitoring and moderating AL. **Important dates** June 15th, 2024: Submission deadline July 15th, 2024: Notification of acceptance after first rereading End of September 2024: Revised version Mid October 2024: Final decision End of November 2024: Camera ready January 2025: Publication of the special issue **Submission** Submissions can either be in French or English and should follow the journal templates: https://tal-65-3.sciencesconf.org/ **About the journal** Traitement Automatiques des Langues Journal (TAL) is the international French journal of Natural Language Processing (https://www.atala.org/revuetal) published by ATALA (French Association for Natural Language Processing, http://www.atala.org) since 1959 with the support of CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research).

COLING 2025 : [CFT] International Conference on Computational Linguistics - Tutorials
by sakhar＠cs.columbia.edu 27 May '24

27 May '24

Call for Tutorials COLING 2025 The 2025 International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2025) invites proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. We seek proposals in all areas of natural language processing and computation, language resources (LRs), and evaluation, including spoken language, sign language, and multimodal interaction. We invite proposals for three types of tutorials, and we especially encourage submissions from early-career researchers: Cutting-edge: tutorials that cover advances in newly emerging areas. The tutorials are expected to give a brief introduction to the topic, but participants are assumed to have some prior knowledge of the topic. The focus of the class will be on discussing the most recent developments in the field, and it will spend a considerable amount of time pointing out open research questions and important novel research directions. Introductory to computational linguistics/NLP topics: tutorials that provide introductions to topics that are established in the COLING communities. The lecturers provide an overview of the development of the field from the beginning until now. Attendees are not expected to come with prior knowledge. They acquire sufficient understanding of the topic to understand the most recent research in the field. Introduction to Key Concepts in Linguistics, including Semantics, Syntax, Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, and Sociolinguistics: tutorials that provide introductions to topics that are established or emerging in areas adjacent to CL/NLP. The lecturers provide an overview of the development of the field from the beginning until now. Attendees are not expected to come with prior knowledge. They acquire a sufficient understanding of the topic to understand the most recent research in the field and the relevance for the CL/NLP domains. Each of these types of tutorials can either be half-day (4h long including a coffee break (30m long)) or full-day (8h long including two coffee breaks (1h long in total) but excluding a lunch break). In all cases, the aim of a tutorial is primarily to help understand a scientific problem, its tractability, and its theoretical and practical implications. Presentations of particular technological solutions or systems are welcome, provided that they serve as illustrations of broader scientific considerations. None of the tutorial types are expected to be “self-invited” long talks – the content should be a good balance between research from multiple groups and perspectives, not only from the teachers of the tutorial. The tutorials will be held at COLING 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 19 and 20 January, 2025. Important Dates All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”). Proposal submission due July 31, 2024 Notification of acceptance August 31, 2024 COLIING2025 tutorials January 19-20, 2025 COLING2025 conference January 21-24, 2025 Diversity and Inclusion We particularly encourage submissions of underrepresented groups in computational linguistics, researchers from any demographic or geographic minority, with disabilities, or others. In the evaluation of the proposal, we will take these aspects into account to create a varied and balanced set of tutorials. This includes several aspects of diversity, namely (1) how the topic of the tutorial contributes to improved diversity and increased fairness in the field, (2) if the topic is particularly relevant for a specific underrepresented group of potential participants, (3), if the presenters are from an underrepresented group. Submission Details They should contain: A title that helps the potential attendees to understand what the tutorial will be about. An abstract that summarizes the topics, goals, target audience, and type (see above) of the tutorial (this abstract will also be on the LREC-COLING website). A section called “Introduction” that explains the topic and summarizes the starting point and relevance for our community and in general. A section called “Target Audience” that explains for whom the tutorial will be developed and what the expected prior knowledge is. Clearly specify what attendees should know and be able to practically do to get the most out of your tutorial. Examples of what to specify include prior mathematical knowledge, knowledge of specific modeling approaches and methods, programming skills, or adjacent areas like computer vision. Also specify the number of expected participants. A section called “Outline” in which the various topics are explained. This can be a list of bullet points or a set of paragraphs explaining the content. Explain what you intend and how long the tutorial will be. A section called “Diversity Considerations”, discussing each of the three aspects of diversity mentioned above or others. A section called “Reading List”: What are introductory papers or books that potential attendees can read to get a first impression of the tutorial content? What do you expect them to have read before attending? What does provide further information beyond the content of the tutorial? A section called “Presenters” in which each tutorial presenter is briefly introduced in one paragraph, including their research interests, their areas of expertise for the tutorial topic, and their experience in teaching a diverse and international audience. A section called “Other Information” which should include information on how many people are expected to participate and how you came to this estimate. You can also explain any other aspects that you find important, including special equipment that you would need. A section called “Ethics Statement” which discusses ethical considerations related to the topics of the tutorial. The proposals should be submitted no later than 31 July, 2024, 11:59 PM Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11, “anywhere on Earth”). Submission is electronic. Please submit the proposals using the START system at this URL: https://softconf.com/coling2025/tutorialsCL25 Evaluation Criteria The tutorial proposals will be evaluated according to their originality and impact, the expected interest level of participants, as well as the quality of the organizing team and Program Committee and their contribution to the diversity of the conference. Each tutorial will be evaluated regarding its clarity and preparedness, novelty or timely character of the topic, the instructor’s experience, the audience interest, and the potential to increase diversity in our community. Instructor Responsibilities Accepted tutorial presenters will be notified by the date mentioned above. They must then provide abstracts of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference registration material by the specific deadlines. The abstract needs to be provided in ASCII format. The summary will be submitted in PDF format and can be updated from the version submitted for review. The instructors will make their material available in an appropriate way, for instance, by setting up a website. They will be invited to submit their slides to the ACL Anthology.

First Call for NLP for Positive Impact Workshop
by Daryna Dementieva 26 May '24

26 May '24

Dear all! We are delighted to invite you for submission to the Third Workshop on NLP for Positive Impact! Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/nlp4positiveimpact Submission method: ACL Rolling Review (ARR) Important Dates We align our paper acceptance with the ARR cycles <https://aclrollingreview.org/dates>: Submission deadline: June ARR, i.e., June 15, 2024, 11:59pm AoE Commitment deadline to the Workshop: August 20, 2024 Notification of Acceptance: September 20, 2024 Camera-Ready Papers Due: October 3, 2024 Workshop Date: co-located with EMNLP 2024 in November, Miami (exact date to be announced) All deadlines are 11:59 PM (Anywhere on Earth <https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe>) Summary The widespread and indispensable use of language-oriented AI systems presents new opportunities to have a positive social impact. NLP technologies are starting to mature to the point where they could have an even broader impact, supporting the UN sustainability goals <https://sdgs.un.org/goals> by helping to address big problems such as poverty, hunger, healthcare, education, inequality, COVID-19 and climate change. Our workshop aims to promote innovative NLP research that will positively impact society, focusing on responsible methods and new applications. We will encourage submissions from areas including (but not limited to): - Work that grounds the impact of NLP: Beyond developing a better-performing NLP model, can we make a step further to connect the model to actual social impact? Example directions include: case studies of real-world deployments; or improving the deployment and maintenance of NLP models in practice. - In addition to commonly recognized NLP for social good areas such as NLP for healthcare, mental well-being, and many others, we also call for work on neglected areas such as NLP for poverty, hunger, energy, climate change, among others. - We also highly value work that builds on interdisciplinary expertise, and encourages submissions of case studies or worked examples that seek to expand the social impact of NLP through collaboration with other fields (e.g., philanthropy, social science, political science, economics, HCI). Special theme: This year, we would like to encourage submission providing solutions or concepts to address digital violence. Digital violence encompasses various forms of violence that utilize digital tools and media, such as cell phones, apps, internet applications, and emails, and occurs within digital spaces like online portals and social platforms. We aim to explore how modern NLP and AI technologies can contribute to enhancing safety in digital environments. At the workshop, you will have an opportunity to connect and share your results with NGO representatives from this field! Submission types: Thus, we would appreciate to see various types of works on this (but not only) topic like: - automatic identification of various social needs, their corresponding sizes and demographics of people affected; - position papers to propose promising new tasks or directions that the field should pursue; - literature review of a subfield; - philosophical discussions of what how positive impact can be achieved with NLP methods; - approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration; - user study designs, user surveys; - ethical considerations, and other related topics. Note that we want submissions to our workshop to have some distinctive features of social good implications, beyond a general paper on NLP. We will require each submission to discuss the ethical and societal implications of their work, and encourage a discussion of what "positive impact" means in the work. Papers Format Both long and short paper submissions should follow all of the ARR submission requirements <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#paper-submission-information>, including: - Long Papers <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#long-papers> (8 pages) and Short Papers <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#short-papers> (4 pages) - Instructions for Two-Way Anonymized Review <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#instructions-for-two-way-anonymized-review> - Authorship <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#authorship> - Citation and Comparison <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#citation-and-comparison> - Multiple Submission Policy <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#multiple-submission-policy>, Resubmission Policy <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#resubmission-policy>, and Withdrawal Policy <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#withdrawal-policy> - Ethics Policy <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#ethics-policy> including the responsible NLP research checklist <https://aclrollingreview.org/responsibleNLPresearch> - Limitations <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#limitations> - Writing Assistance <https://2023.aclweb.org/blog/ACL-2023-policy/> - Paper Submission and Templates <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#paper-submission-and-templates> - Optional Supplementary Materials <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#optional-supplementary-materials-appendice…> Organizers Zhijing Jin (Max Planck Institute & ETH Zurich) Daryna Dementieva (Technical University of Munich) Steven Wilson (Oakland University) Oana Ignat (University of Michigan) Jieyu Zhao (University of Maryland, College Park) Joel Tetreault (Dataminr, Inc.)
