Apologies for multiple postings. ------------------------------------------------------------------ SLATE 2025 - Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies https://slate-conf.org/2025 26th to 27th June, 2025 University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal ------------------------------------------------------------------ Languages are an integral part of human and technological interactions. Initially, we used them to communicate with one another. Later, to communicate with computers. And more recently, with the advent of networks, we found a way to make computers communicate between themselves. All these different forms of communication use languages, different languages, but that still share many similarities. In SLATE we are interested in discussing these languages. Keynote Speakers Renowned keynote speakers from academia and industry will be featured. SLATE 2025 Chairs: Jorge Baptista and José Barateiro (University of Algarve, Portugal) Being languages such a broad subject, SLATE is organized in *three main tracks*: *HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages* HHL provides a forum for discussing research projects and ideas related to natural language processing and its industrial applications. *HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages* HCL is a forum where researchers, developers, educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic or industrial work on language design, processing, assessment and applications. *CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages* The CCL Track aims to facilitate discussions on data representation languages, its applications, and related technologies. Topics from each track include: *HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages* Computational morphology, syntax and semantics; Machine translation and tools for computer assisted translation; Computational terminology and lexicography; Speech synthesis and understanding; Information retrieval and extraction; Automatic question answering; Corpus linguistics; Language Resources and Evaluation; Public tools and resources for NLP; Statistical Methods applied to NLP; Language teaching support tools; Sentiment Analysis, Opinion and Argument Mining; Natural Language Generation, Summarization and Simplification; Dialogue and Interactive Systems; Ethics and NLP; Language Modeling/Large Language Models; Machine Learning for CL/NLP; Offensive/Hate speech detection and analysis; Applications (BioNLP and eHealth, NLP for legal purposes, Social Media and Journalism, etc.); Tagging, Chunking, Syntax and Parsing. *HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Language* Languages and grammars design, specification and quality; Programming languages implementation; Visual Languages and Program visualization; Domain-Specific Languages design and implementation; Programming, refactoring and debugging environments; Dynamic and static analysis; Program slicing; Program comprehension; Compilation and interpretation techniques; Code generation and optimization; Novel language constructs and their implementation; Debugging and profiling tools; Dynamic languages; Software quality and security; Software reverse engineering; Software Forensics; Plagiarism Detection. *CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages* IoT data protocols; Semantic Web and data standards; Ontologies and knowledge representation; Big Data and NoSQL Databases; Data interchange and storage formats; HTML5 and web formatting; Industry-specific interoperability standards; APIs and service integration; Data and graph visualization languages; Cloud computing models - PaaS, SaaS, IaaS; Edge and Pervasive computing; Multi-agent systems; E-learning standards and interoperability; Cybersecurity protocols and solutions; Cyber-physical systems; Network connectivity and infrastructure. *Contributions* Full papers - 8 to 14 pages, presented in 20+5 minutes, complete work, including a validation or discussion. Short papers - 6 to 8 pages, presented in 10+5 minutes, ongoing work, well anchored in the literature, but not yet fully validated. Submitted papers will be reviewed through a rigorous double-blind process, involving at least three expert reviewers. Each submission will be assessed based on its originality, relevance to the symposium tracks, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and potential impact on research and practice. Authors are encouraged to carefully anonymize their submissions to ensure the integrity of the review process. SLATE 2025 is committed to fostering diversity and inclusivity and welcomes submissions from underrepresented groups in academia and industry. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on digital support. They will also integrate the OASIcs series. https://www.dagstuhl.de/publishing/series/details/oasics Papers should be written using the OASIcs LaTeX template, using the English language.

LLM & Annotation: Community Survey
by Paulina Żelewska 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Exploring the Future of AI in Linguistic Annotation As part of a research initiative for the course "Conceptual Foundations of Artificial Intelligence" at Adam Mickiewicz University, this survey investigates the scientific community's perspectives on the potential consequences of using large language models (LLMs) in annotating complex linguistic phenomena. The findings will inform the development of research tools for future studies. Your insights are invaluable in understanding the challenges and opportunities associated with LLM-driven annotation, particularly in areas requiring deep contextual and linguistic comprehension, such as bias identification and discourse analysis. The survey is brief, taking approximately 5–10 minutes. Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous. By completing the survey, you consent to the use of your responses solely for aggregated statistical analyses and the preparation of a research report. 📋 Survey Link: https://forms.office.com/e/1wj9ytKDsE 📆 Deadline: 12.02.2025 Why Your Participation Matters This study addresses nuanced linguistic issues often overlooked in classic NLP tasks. By contributing, you help bridge the gap between theoretical exploration and the practical application of AI in advanced linguistic contexts. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the project further, please contact pauzel1(a)st.amu.edu.pl. Thank you for your time and valuable input! Kind regards, Paulina Żelewska (Research Supervisor: Dr. Paweł Łupkowski)
