LREC 2020, 12th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation - SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) is glad to announce the 12th edition of LREC, co-organised with the Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale ?Antonio Zampolli? (ILC-CNR) and with the support of of national and international organisations among which AFCP, AILC, ATALA, CLARIN, ILCB, LDC, ... Conference Aims LREC is the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for Human Language Technologies (HLT). LREC aims to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, on-going and planned activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from e-science and e-society, with respect both to policy issues as well as to scientific/technological and organisational ones. Conference Topics Issues in the design, construction and use of LRs: text, speech, sign, gesture, image, in single or multimodal/multimedia data
Exploitation of LRs in systems and applications
LRs in the age of deep neural networks
Issues in LT evaluation
General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation
Special attention will be devoted to less resourced and endangered languages: it is expected that LREC2020 makes room to activities carried out to support indigenous languages, building on the United Nations/UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages being celebrated in 2019. Language and the Brain Studying the neural basis of language helps in understanding both language processing and the brain mechanisms. LREC2020 will encourage all submissions addressing language and the brain. Among possible subtopics, submissions could focus on new datasets and resources (neuroimaging, controlled corpora, lexicons, etc.), methods aiming at new multimodal experimentations (e.g. EEG in virtual reality), language processing applications (e.g. brain decoding, brain-computer interfaces), etc. Machine/Deep Learning The availability of LRs is a key element of the development of high quality Human Language Technologies based on AI/Machine Learning approaches, and LREC is the best place to get access to this data, in many languages and for many domains. In addition to submissions addressing ML issues based on large quantities of data, those applied to languages for which only small, noisy or sparse data exist are also most welcomed.
In addition to describing your LRs in the LRE Map ? now a normal step in the submission procedure of many conferences ? LREC recognises the importance of sharing resources and making them available to the community.
Programme The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral presentations, poster and demo presentations, and panels, in addition to a keynote address by the winner of the Antonio Zampolli Prize. We will also organise an Industrial Track and a Reproducibility Track: for these there will be separate Calls.
SUBMISSIONS AND DATES
LREC 2020 asks for full papers from 4 pages to 8 pages (plus more pages for references if needed) , which must strictly follow the LREC stylesheet which will be available on the conference website. Papers must be submitted through START @ https://www.softconf.com/lrec2020/main/ and will be peer-reviewed.
Proposals should be submitted via an online form on the LREC website and will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. For workshops: Submit your workshop Form For tutorials: Submit your tutorial Form
The Proceedings will include both oral and poster papers, in the same format. There is also no difference in quality between oral and poster presentations. Only the appropriateness of the type of communication (more or less interactive) to the content of the paper will be considered. LREC 2010, LREC 2012 and LREC 2014 Proceedings are included in the Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index. The other editions are being processed. LREC Proceedings are indexed in Scopus (Elsevier). Substantially extended versions of papers selected by reviewers as the most appropriate will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Language Resources and Evaluation Journal published by Springer (a SCI-indexed journal). Any question, please write to lrec@lrec-conf.org. |
