COST Action CA21167 UniDive
2nd general meeting, University of Naples L’Orientale, Italy
7-9 February 2024
UniDive (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21167/) is a COST action, i.e. a scientific network, dedicated to universality, diversity and idiosyncrasy in language technology. It is structured around 4 Working Groups:
-
WG1: Corpus annotation -
WG2: Lexicon-corpus interface -
WG3: Multilingual and cross-lingual language technology -
WG4: Quantifying and promoting diversity
The second general meeting of the action will take place on February 7-9, 2024 at the University of Naples L’Orientale in Italy. We invite UniDive WG members https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21167/#tabs+Name:Working%20Groups%20and%20Membership to submit abstract proposals related to the scientific program of the WGs.
Proposals may describe diverse types of contributions, according to 3 different tracks:
-
Planned work -
Work in progress -
Complete work, also previously published
A proposal should be anonymous, written in English and submitted in pdf only. It should include (on the title page) the list of the relevant WGs. It should not exceed 2 pages, including figures and tables (bibliographic references may go beyond the 2-page limit). If linguistic examples from languages other than English are included, those should be glossed and translated into English, and an extra half page is allowed for this purpose.
For the sake of uniformity and easing the reviewers’ effort, we encourage authors to use the following Overleaf Latex template: https://www.overleaf.com/read/yqbpxcbjmjjw
Other formats (not necessarily Latex-based) can also be used, provided that they conform to the following specifications: A4 paper, 11pt font, 1in margins. The submission link will be announced soon.
The reviewing process is double-blind. The selection of proposals will be done by UniDive Program Committee according to the following criteria:
-
relevance to UniDive and the work program of its Working Groups (see pp. 18-20 of the Memorandum of Understanding https://e-services.cost.eu/files/domain_files/CA/Action_CA21167/mou/CA21167-e.pdf ), -
clarity -
diversity of the languages covered by the workshop program
The selected proposals will be presented at the 2nd UniDive general meeting as posters and/or oral presentations.
At least one author per selected proposal will be reimbursed for their travel and stay. Important dates
