3-3-1 | (2022-04-01) GDR TAL: Representation learning for speech and language, Grenoble, France In the framework of the GDR « Traitement automatique des langues » (GDR TAL), we organize a scientific day
on « representation learning for speech and language'. This day will take place in Grenoble on Friday, April 1st, 2022. The goal is to gather researchers from speech and natural language processing communities, around the topic of representation learning with end-to-end deep neural networks. Indeed, these models are now used in most NLP and speech processing tasks to map different modalities of spoken language (e.g. ASR, Text-to-speech), or to extract high-level representations that can be transferred to downstream tasks (e.g. low-resource).
The day will be organized around 4 oral presentations and a poster session. The invited speakers are :
The poster session is open to all but particularly to doctoral students, in order to encourage exchanges with the participants. We welcome contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
To attend the day, please register at https://gdr-tal.ls2n.fr/inscription-formulaire/. The GDR can cover the mission cost for one person per GDR research team (apply to gdrtal-bureau@services.cnrs.fr before March 11).
To present your work during the poster session, please send a short abstract (max 1 page in English) before March 11, 2022 to thomas.hueber@gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr (poster proposals will be validated by the organizing committee).
More formation about the practical organisation will be given at https://gdr-tal.ls2n.fr/event/journee-apprentissage-des-representations-de-la-parole-et-du-langage/
Looking forward to seeing you there!

The links between articulation and prosody are a subject of growing interest. The growing interest is, among other things, driven by increasingly powerful measurement, analysis and recording techniques, by the discovery of syntagmatic and paradigmatic structures in prosody and the simultaneous undermining of strictly linear-segmental models in articulation, as well as by the rapid rise of speech technology and the associated increasing relevance of emotions, speaking styles, attitudes, social hierarchies, social-role marking, etc. But, how far have we really come in understanding the links between articulation and prosody?
As a satellite meeting to the 11th Speech Prosody, the 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) will be a forum to discuss these questions. Continuing the successful concept of the first SEFOS, SEFOS II shall again be a strongly interdisciplinary event. We therefore cordially invite not only all members of the speech-science (and speech-prosody) communities to take part in SEFOS II, but also interested members from related fields such as general linguistics, medicine, audiology, psychology, rhetoric, pedagogy, language/speech technology, and engineering sciences.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS --------------------------------
Prof. Dr. Cécile Fougeron Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Birkholz
IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------
Note that SEFOS II has teamed up with the proceedings branch of deGruyter, 'Sciendo', to be able to publish your contributions as widely visible (open access) proceedings papers in journal-article length (max. 15 pages including figures and references; shorter papers are accepted too, of course). The SEFOS II proceedings will be submitted to major indexing services, such as DOAJ, Publons, Web of Science (CPCI), Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, etc.

Voici un appel à communications dans le cadre de l'atelier 'SuFEVoC : Subjectivité et Fiction autour de l'Expertise Vocale en Criminalistique' qui se tiendra le lundi 13 juin 2022 sur l'île de Noirmoutier à l'occasion des 34e Journées d'Études sur la Parole :
Malgré toute l'attention accordée au contrôle de nos protocoles de recherche sur la parole, un certain nombre de biais interfère avec notre raisonnement. Ces biais sont également présents en criminalistique quand il est demandé à un spécialiste de donner un avis sur la ressemblance entre deux échantillons de voix. En effet, au-delà de la mesure objective reflétant la proximité entre ces deux échantillons 1) le contexte général lié à l'enquête, 2) les stéréotypes véhiculés par la voix des locuteurs et 3) les mythes sur les sciences de la parole issus des ?uvres de fiction (cinéma, séries policières, littérature) sont autant d'éléments qui peuvent s'immiscer dans le déroulement d'une expertise ou conditionner sa réception dans un tribunal.
Nous vous invitons à soumettre une proposition de communication en lien avec l'un des trois types de biais mentionnés ci-dessus. Cet appel est donc ouvert non seulement aux spécialistes universitaires de l'étude de la parole, mais également aux professionnels de la police/gendarmerie ainsi qu'aux spécialistes de l'étude des ?uvres de fiction dans la mesure où celles-ci peuvent influencer notre réception de la science.
Modalités pratiques :
Soumission d'un résumé de 150 mots avec un titre et le nom des auteurs pour le 14 mars 2022 à l'adresse sufevoc2022@gmail.com
Retour des évaluations 21 mars 2022.

CALL FOR PAPERS
20 June 2022, Le Palais du Pharo, Marseille, France
Deadline for submission: 10 April 2022
Description
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016) ensures the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. The GDPR outlines a specific set of rules that protect citizens and user data and create transparency in information sharing. GDPR is the strictest data privacy regulation in the world, and considerable work is taking place to develop techniques and deploy systems that help comply with this regulation while rendering data accessible and, thus, usable for further processing. Different techniques are studied to guarantee such compliance, implying different levels of sensitive content protection and with a short- or long-term guarantee depending on whether we may have access to additional related information. In this regard, we can read about work on anonymization, de-identification and pseudonymization. While anonymization implies a zero re-identification risk, which is extremely difficult to secure, de-identification and pseudonymization represent an attainable target under the GDPR, given that this regulation defines pseudonymization as ?the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.? Bearing this context in mind, multilingual approaches and kits for (sensitive) language resources de-identification may provide the means to share language data while also protecting private or sensitive data by spotting then deleting, obfuscating, pseudonymizing or encrypting person identifying information.
De-identification is typically performed for the purpose of protecting an individual?s private ctivities while maintaining the usefulness of the gathered data for research and development
purposes. This workshop aims at discussing the various approaches to effective and reliable text de-identification, focusing on some sensitive domains such as the medical and legal domains, but not only.
Based on these premises a consensus emerges that shows a clear situation and needs:
Workshop Objectives and Topics of Interest
This workshop is organised by members of the MAPA project, funded by the EU Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program (https://mapa-project.eu/). This project has developed a toolkit for the de-identification of texts in the medical and legal fields which addresses all EU official languages. It has followed a BERT-based Named Entity Recognition approach for personal information identification. A wide range of topics have been considered and are hot topics open for discussion to all participants of this workshop. Among them, we have the following:
This workshop will also be a good forum to discuss the possibility to design and initiate a new (annual) Challenge (evaluation campaign) on this important topic.
We invite submissions for full papers and system demonstrations that address these questions and other related issues relevant to the workshop.
Workshop Programme and Audience Addressed
This full-day workshop aims at bringing together technology oriented working groups as well as institutions requiring de-identification support that can present their cases. Being de-identification a multi-topic and multi-problem technique, the workshop aims to get researchers, developers and groups needing their services together to discuss approaches, techniques, capabilities and potential collaborations.
Organising Committee
Important dates
Submission of full papers: Sunday 10 April 2022
Notification of acceptance of papers and demonstrations: Tuesday 3 May 2022
Submission of camera-ready version: 23 May 2022
Workshop: Monday 20 June 2022
Submission
Authors should use the START system (https://www.softconf.com/lrec2022/MDLR/) and follow the LREC author?s kit (https://lrec2022.lrec-conf.org/en/submission2022/authors-kit/) for submitting their papers (the templates are provided on this page) .
Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings along with the LREC main conference Proceedings by ELRA.
LRE 2022 Map and 'Share your LRs!? initiative
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits,
etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services,
etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).
? Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about ?Sharing LRs? (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new ?regular? feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data.
? As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2022 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.Back Top

LREC2022 HOT TOPICS
DESCRIBE AND SHARE YOUR LRs!
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.
When submitting a paper, you will be offered the possibility to share your LRs (data, tools, web-services, etc.), uploading them in a special LREC repository set up by ELRA. After LREC, such Language Resources will be made available to the community within the share-LRs repository set-up by ELRA, in compliance with the licenses indicated by right-holders. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, contributes to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data.
PROGRAMME
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral, poster and demo presentations in addition to a keynote address by the winner of the Antonio Zampolli Prize.
An Industrial Track to report on state of the art within industry and commercial achievements, for which there will be a separate Call, will also be organized

15th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA (BUCC)
WITH SHARED TASK ON MULTILINGUAL TERMINOLOGY EXTRACTION
FROM COMPARABLE CORPORA
Co-located with LREC 2022 (Marseille)
Saturday, June 25, 2022
Paper submission deadline: April 10, 2022
Workshop website: https://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2022/

LREC website: https://lrec2022.lrec-conf.org/en/
**************************************************************
MOTIVATION
In the language engineering and the linguistics communities, research in
comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language
engineering, on the one hand, it is primarily motivated by the need to
use comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications
such as statistical and neural machine translation or cross-lingual
information retrieval. In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable
corpora are of interest because they enable cross-language discoveries
and comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that
comparable corpora consist of documents that are comparable in content
and form in various degrees and dimensions across several languages,
dialects, or varieties. Parallel corpora are on the one end of this
spectrum, unrelated corpora on the other.
TOPICS
We solicit contributions on all topics related to comparable (and
parallel) corpora, including but not limited to the following:
Building Comparable Corpora:
* Automatic and semi-automatic methods
* Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the web
* Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
* Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora
* Rare and minority languages, across language families
* Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora
Applications of comparable corpora:
* Human translation
* Language learning
* Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization
* Bilingual and multilingual projections
* (Unsupervised) machine translation
* Writing assistance
* Machine learning techniques using comparable corpora
Mining from Comparable Corpora:
* Cross-language distributional semantics and pre-trained multilingual
transformer models
* Creation of bilingual and multilingual embeddings from comparable corpora
* Methods to derive parallel from non-parallel corpora (e.g. to provide
for low-resource languages in neural machine translation)
* Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single words,
multi-word expressions, proper names, named entities, sentences, and
paraphrases from comparable corpora, etc.
* Induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from
comparable corpora
* Induction of multilingual word classes from comparable corpora
Comparable Corpora in the Humanities:
* Comparing linguistic phenomena across languages in contrastive linguistics
* Analyzing properties of translated language in translation studies
* Studying language change over time in diachronic linguistics
* Assigning texts to authors via authors' corpora in forensic linguistics
* Comparing rhetorical features in discourse analysis
* Studying cultural differences in sociolinguistics
* Analyzing language universals in typological research

***** BUCC 2022 SHARED TASK: bilingual term alignment in comparable
specialized corpora
The BUCC 2022 shared task is on multilingual terminology alignment in
comparable corpora. Many research groups are working on this problem
using a wide variety of approaches. However, as there is no standard
way to measure the performance of the systems, the published results are
not comparable and the pros and cons of the various approaches are not
clear. The shared task aims at solving these problems by organizing a
fair comparison of systems. This is accomplished by providing corpora
and evaluation datasets for a number of language pairs and domains.
Moreover, the importance of dealing with multi-word expressions in
Natural Language Processing applications has been recognized for a long
time. In particular, multi-word expressions pose serious challenges for
machine translation systems because of their syntactic and semantic
properties. Furthermore, multi-word expressions tend to be more
frequent in domain-specific text, hence the need to handle them in tasks
with specialized-domain corpora.
Through the 2022 BUCC shared task, we seek to evaluate methods that
detect pairs of terms that are translations of each other in two
comparable corpora, with an emphasis on multi-word terms in specialized
domains.
Sample and training data release: 11 February 2022
Test data release: 16 March 2022

INFORMATION FROM THE LREC ORGANIZERS
* Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the
submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other
conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about
?Sharing LRs? (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the
possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC
repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their
description, may become a new ?regular? feature for conferences in our
field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone
can deposit and share data.
* As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so
as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also
replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2022
endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the
International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org),
a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource.
The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at
submission time.

New forms of multimedia data (such as text, numbers, tags, networking,
signals, geo-tagged information, graphs/relationships, 3D/VR/AR and
sensor data, etc.) has emerged in many applications in addition to
traditional multimedia data (image, video, audio). Multimedia has
become the biggest of big data as the foundation of today's
data-driven discoveries. Almost all disciplines of science and
engineering, as well as social sciences, involve multimedia data in
some forms, such as recording experiments, driverless cars, unmanned
aerial vehicles, smart communities, biomedical instruments, security
surveillance. Some recent events demonstrate the power of real-time
broadcast of unfolding events on social networks. Multimedia data is
not just big in volume, but also multi-modal and mostly
unstructured. Storing, indexing, searching, integrating, and
recognizing from the vast amounts of data create unprecedented
challenges. Even though significant progress has been made processing
multimedia data, today's solutions are inadequate in handling data
from millions of sources simultaneously.
The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Information Processing
and Retrieval (IEEE-MIPR) aims to provide a forum for original
research contributions and practical system design, implementation,
and applications of multimedia information processing and retrieval
for single modality or multiple modalities. The target audiences will
be university researchers, scientists, industry practitioners,
software engineers, and graduate students who need to become
acquainted with technologies for big data analytics, machine
intelligence, information fusion in multimedia information processing
and retrieval. A collection of keynotes, tutorials, and workshops
will be held, together with paper/poster sessions. In addition, MIPR
2022 Innovation Forum invites leaders in multimedia society to discuss
the topics covering video compression, AI acceleration, metaverse, and
Computer Vision.
The conference will accept regular papers (6 pages), short papers (4
pages), and demo papers (4 pages). Authors are encouraged to compare
their approaches, qualitatively or quantitatively, with existing work
and explain the strength and weakness of the new approaches. Selected
submissions will be invited to submit to journal special issues.

=========================================Call for Papers
AREA 2 - Annotation, Recognition and Evaluation of Actions
AREA - 2 will be held at the 33nd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information - ESSLLI 2022 at Galway, Ireland. AREA- 2 is organized in the first ESSLLI week with plenary talks, posters and demonstrations. AREA - 2 is a SIGSEM-sponsored workshop.
Date: 8 - 12 August 2022
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION MOTIVATION AND TOPICS
=============================================
AREA - 2 is the follow up on the first AREA meeting at LREC 2018 (http://www.areaworkshop.org/). There has recently been increased interest in modeling actions, as described by natural language expressions and gestures, and as depicted by images and videos. Additionally, action modeling has emerged as an important topic in robotics and HCI. The goal of the AREA - 2 workshop is to gather and discuss advances in research areas where actions are paramount e.g., virtual embodied agents, robotics, HRI, human-computer communication, as well as modeling multimodal human-human interactions involving actions. Action modeling is an inherently multi-disciplinary area, involving contributions from computational linguistics, AI, semantics, robotics, psychology, and formal logic.
While there has been considerable attention in the community paid to the representation and recognition of events (e.g., the development of ISO-TimeML and associated specifications, and the 4 Workshops on “EVENTS: Definition, Detection, Coreference, and Representation”), the goals of this workshop are focused specifically on actions undertaken by embodied agents as opposed to events in the abstract. By concentrating on actions, we hope to attract those researchers working in computational semantics, gesture, dialogue, HCI, robotics, and other areas, in order to develop a community around action as a communicative modality where their work can be communicated and shared. This community will be a venue for the development and evaluation of resources regarding the integration of action recognition and processing in human-computer communication.
We invite submissions on foundational, conceptual, and practical issues involving modeling actions, as described by natural language expressions and gestures, and as depicted by images and videos. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
- dynamic models of actions
- formal semantic models of actions
- affordance modeling
- manipulation action modeling
- linking multimodal descriptions and presentations of actions (image, text, icon, video)
- automatic action recognition from text, images, and videos
- communicating and performing actions with robots or avatars for joint tasks
- action language grounding
- evaluation of action models
IMPORTANT DATES
================
First CfP: 23 December 2021
Final CfP: 6 April 2022
Deadline for paper submission: 28 April 2022
Review deadline: 25 May 2022
Notification of acceptance: 15 June 2022
Deadline for camera-ready version: 29 June 2022
Early registration deadline: TBA
Workshop Date: 8-19 August 2022
SUBMISSION
==========

Trustworthy Speech Processing (TSP)
Special Session at Interspeech 22
trustworthyspeechprocessing.github.io
September 18 - 22, 2022
Incheon, South Korea
Given the ubiquity of Machine Learning (ML) systems and their relevance in daily lives, it is important to ensure private and safe handling of data alongside equity in human experience. These considerations have gained considerable interest in recent times under the realm of Trustworthy ML. Speech processing in particular presents a unique set of challenges, given the rich information carried in linguistic and paralinguistic content including speaker trait, interaction and state characteristics. This special session on Trustworthy Speech Processing (TSP) was created to bring together new and experienced researchers working on trustworthy ML and speech processing.
We invite novel and relevant submissions from both academic and industrial research groups showcasing theoretical and empirical advancements in TSP. Topics of interest cover a variety of papers centered on speech processing, including (but not limited to):
* Differential privacy
* Federated learning
* Ethics in speech processing
* Model interpretability
* Quantifying & mitigating bias in speech processing
* New datasets, frameworks and benchmarks for TSP
* Discovery and defense against emerging privacy attacks
* Trustworthy ML in applications of speech processing like ASR
======================================================================
Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: March 21, 2022, 23:59, Anywhere on Earth.
Paper update deadline: March 28, 2022, 23:59, Anywhere on Earth.
Author notification: June 13, 2022.
Interspeech conference dates: September 18 to 22, 2022.
======================================================================
Author Guidelines:
Submissions for TSP will follow the same schedule and procedure as the main conference. Submit your papers here: www.softconf.com/m/interspeech2022 (select option #14.13 as the submission topic).
