[Extended Deadline] Call for Papers: The First Workshop on Language Models for Low-Resource Languages (LoResLM 2025@COLING)
by Ranasinghe, Tharindu 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

[Due to many requests, we have extended the submission deadline] Neural language models have revolutionised natural language processing (NLP) and have provided state-of-the-art results for many tasks. However, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the pre-training resources. Therefore, language models (LMs) often struggle with low-resource languages in both training and evaluation. Recently, there has been a growing trend in developing and adopting LMs for low-resource languages. LoResLM aims to provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work on LMs for low-resource languages. >> Topics LoResLM 2025 invites submissions on a broad range of topics related to the development and evaluation of neural language models for low-resource languages, including but not limited to the following. * Building language models for low-resource languages. * Adapting/extending existing language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Corpora creation and curation technologies for training language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Benchmarks to evaluate language models/large language models in low-resource languages. * Prompting/in-context learning strategies for low-resource languages with large language models. * Review of available corpora to train/fine-tune language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Multilingual/cross-lingual language models/large language models for low-resource languages. * Applications of language models/large language models for low-resource languages (i.e. machine translation, chatbots, content moderation, etc. >> Important Dates * Paper submission due – 5th November 2024 12th November 2024 * Notification of acceptance – 25th November 2024 * Camera-ready due – 13th December 2024 * LoResLM 2025 workshop – 19th / 20th January 2025 co-located with COLING 2025 >> Submission Guidelines We follow the COLING 2025 standards for submission format and guidelines. LoResLM 2025 invites the submission of long papers of up to eight pages and short papers of up to four pages. These page limits only apply to the main body of the paper. At the end of the paper (after the conclusions but before the references), papers need to include a mandatory section discussing the limitations of the work and, optionally, a section discussing ethical considerations. Papers can include unlimited pages of references and an unlimited appendix.

[Deadline Extension] Call for Shared Task Proposals for RANLP 2025
by Ranasinghe, Tharindu 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

[Due to many requests, we have extended the deadlines.] We invite proposals for tasks to be run as part of RANLP 2025 (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing): https://ranlp.org/ranlp2025/.<https://ranlp.org/ranlp2025/> RANLP is one of the most influential and competitive NLP conferences. RANLP 2025 will take place in September 2025 at the Black Sea city of Varna. For the first time in RANLP history, we are organising a shared task campaign as part of the main conference and inviting task organisers to submit their task proposals. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of Natural Language Processing and related communities are invited to submit task proposals. For RANLP 2025, we welcome any task that can evaluate an automatic system for natural language processing. We especially encourage tasks for languages other than English, multi-lingual tasks, and tasks that develop novel applications of natural language processing. We strongly encourage proposals based on already published datasets, as this can provide concrete examples and help minimise the challenges of organising the shared task. In the event of receiving many proposals, preference will be given to proposals based on already published datasets. If you are unsure whether a task is suitable, please contact the shared task chairs to discuss your idea. Task Selection Task proposals will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, and the reviews will serve as the basis for acceptance decisions. Task proposals will be evaluated on: * Novelty - Is the task based on a new problem that has not been explored much in the community? If similar tasks have been organised before, does this task cover new languages/ domains? * Data – Is the data available and published already? Do annotations have meaningfully high inter-annotator agreements? Have all appropriate licenses for the use and re-use of the data been secured? * Evaluation—Is the evaluation methodology sound? Is there an automated platform for the evaluation (e.g., CodaLab, Kaggle)? Task Organisation We specifically welcome task proposals from early career researchers. However, we strongly encourage tasks that have a diverse team of organisers as that will ease the task organisation. Apart from providing a dataset, task organisers are expected to: 1. Verify data quality in terms of annotator agreement. 2. Verify licenses for the data to allow its use in the competition. 3. Provide task participants with baseline systems. 4. Create a CodaLab or other similar evaluation platform for the task and manage automatic evaluation. 5. Promote the task within the target research community. 6. Manage and organise review process of participants’ submissions of system description papers. 7. Write a task description paper to be included in RANLP proceedings. 8. Contribute to the tasks overview paper written by shared task chairs and other task organisers which will also be included in RANLP proceedings. 9. Register and present the shared task description paper at RANLP 2025 on either 11th or 12th September 2025 (the exact date will be confirmed later) Important Dates * Task proposals due - November 20, 2024 * Task selection notification – November 25, 2024 Recommended Timeline for the Tasks * Sample data and task website ready - December 1, 2024 * Training data ready - December 15, 2024 * Evaluation data ready - March 1, 2025 * Evaluation starts – March 10, 2025 * Evaluation end - March 31, 2025 (latest date; task organisers may choose an earlier date) * Paper submission due – April 20, 2025 * Notification to authors – May 16, 2025 * Task overview paper due – May 25, 2025 * Camera-ready due - May 31, 2025 * Shared task presentation co-located with RANLP 2025 – September 11 and September 12, 2025 Tasks that do not meet critical deadlines, such as those for launching the task, setting up the CodaLab website, and uploading samples, training, and evaluation data, may be cancelled at the discretion of the shared task chairs. Submission Details The task proposal should be a self-contained document of no longer than 2 pages (plus additional pages for references). All submissions must be in PDF format, following the RANLP 2023 template available at https://ranlp.org/ranlp2023/index.php/submissions/ Each proposal should contain the following: * Overview * Summary of the task – What is the goal of the task * Expected number of participants and justification * Data & Resources * How the training/testing data will be produced. Discuss whether the dataset is already published * Details of license, so that the data can be used by the research community * How much data will be produced * How data quality will be ensured and evaluated * An example of what the data would look like * Evaluation * The evaluation methodology to be used, including clear evaluation criteria - * The evaluation platform (i.e. CodaLab, Kaggle etc.) * Task organisers * Names, affiliations, email addresses * brief description of relevant experience or expertise The submissions should be done via START - https://softconf.com/ranlp25/papers/user/scmd.cgi?scmd=submitPaperCustom&pa… Proceedings Tasks overview paper, task description papers and participant papers will be published as part of RANLP 2025 proceedings in ACLAnthology. Task organisers and participants are expected to attend RANLP 2025 on September 11 and September 12, 2025, and present their work in order to include it in the proceedings.

Save the Date: Language Technologies for All (LT4All 2.0) Conference on February 24-26, 2025 at UNESCO Headquarters (Paris, France)
by Sakriani Sakti 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

Dear All, As you may know, we organized the first International Conference on Language Technology for All (LT4All 1.0) in 2019, held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, under the theme "Multilingualism for Building Knowledge Societies." The event emphasized the critical role of language and advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, in fostering inclusive, cross-cultural dialogue. However, despite significant progress in language technology, many communities continue to be left behind. The challenge extends beyond merely creating language technologies; it requires meaningful collaboration with communities to develop solutions tailored to their specific needs. In this context, we are pleased to announce the second edition of the International Conference on Language Technology for All (LT4All 2.0), themed "Advancing Humanism through Language Technologies," which will take place from 24 to 26 February 2025 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France. This conference will be organized within the framework of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022-2032) and will commemorate the Silver Jubilee of International Mother Language Day in 2025. The event is also co-organized by ELRA, the joint ELRA-ISCA Special Interest Group on Under-resourced Languages (SIGUL), and UNESCO. For more information, or to express your interest in attending, sponsoring, or endorsing the event, please use the following web form: https://www.lt4all2025.eu/contact/. Alternatively, you can write an email to the LT4All 2025 Secretariat at: <lt4all2025-contact(a)ml.naist.ac.jp> Best regards, Sakriani Sakti, Claudia Soria, Maite Melero On behalf of the LT4All Organizing Committee
