Introduction and Context
Submissions are invited for papers to a special issue of the journal ?Language Resources and Evaluation? on Language Technology platforms.
With the increasing number of platforms, grids and infrastructures in the wider area of Language Technologies (LT), NLP, NLU, speech (including conversational agents and personal assistants), interaction and language-centric AI, there is a growing need for sharing experiences, approaches and best practices eventually to learn and benefit from the work of others and also, practically, to start a collaboration towards LT platform interoperability.
This LRE Journal Special Issue aims to address all smaller and larger language grids, language-related infrastructures and platforms (including general and domain-specific) as well as research projects that touch upon one or more of the topics mentioned below, both in Europe and world-wide. With its origin in the 1st International Workshop on Language Technology Platforms (IWLTP 2020), the goal of this LRE Journal Special Issue is to assemble submissions from representatives of relevant initiatives and interested parties to present their observations, experiences, solutions, best practices as well as current and future challenges. The LRE Journal Special Issue also addresses the aspect of fragmentation in the Language Technology landscape, especially in Europe. Instead of ?platform islands? that simply co-exist side by side, possibly even competing with each other, we want to foster the discussion how our platforms can be made interoperable and how they can interact with one another to create synergies towards a productive LT platform ecosystem.
The long-term vision of platform interoperability has several prerequisites including technical requirements that need to be addressed, for example, through the use of common standards, but also community-related aspects that need to be addressed and strengthened through open discussions and further joint development. Both aspects are covered by this LRE Special Issue.
Topics of Interest
In the list of topics below, the term ?Language Technology (LT)? comprises Natural Language Processing (NLP), Natural Language Understanding (NLU), all types of speech and conversational technologies, as well as language-centric AI and also general AI. The term ?platform? includes notions such as, among others, infrastructures, frameworks, clouds etc.
We invite contributions on the topics mentioned above or on related topics of interest. We also invite authors to submit contributions on the current situation of their platform-related projects or initiatives (including technical, governance, community, uptake, interoperability, social and legal aspects). We especially invite all relevant international or national grid, platform, cloud or infrastructure projects to submit contributions.
Important Dates
Call for papers issued: March 2021
Submissions due: 31 August 2021
Author notification: January 2022
Final manuscripts submitted: mid 2022
Types of Papers
FULL-LENGTH PAPERS should describe original, substantive research results involving any aspect of the creation, use, or evaluation of language resources, or provide a detailed description of a new and substantial major resource. In the latter case, the submission should provide a detailed description of the methods used to create and evaluate the resource and provide a comparison with similar resources, where appropriate. Full-length submissions are typically 18-25 pages in length.
SURVEY ARTICLES provide a comprehensive overview of some area or substantial resource relevant to the LRE readership. Survey articles should be written with an eye toward providing an entry point for those who work in the field but not familiar with the particular area or resource, including context, history, and comprehensive references. Survey articles follow the same format as full-length papers.
PROJECT NOTES may describe significant interim research or resource development results, or provide a description of software, standards, minor resources, or projects that are of interest to the journal's readership. Project notes are typically 8-10 pages in length, but no minimum or maximum length is required.
SQUIBS provide a forum for expressing an opinion on topics of interest to the LRE readership. We are especially interested in articles that provide a perspective and/or consider solutions or ways forward for issues of current interest to the field. Squibs are typically 6-8 pages in length.

Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on ?Advances in Phonetic Sciences: The role of Speech Corpora and Automatic Processing?. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent research on advances in speech corpora and to better comprehend the current status and challenges in the construction and analysis of spoken corpora. During the past few decades, we have witnessed an increasing collaboration between linguistics and speech technology communities (Bradlow et al., 2011; Ernestus and Warner, 2011; Coleman et al., 2011). For instance, on the linguistic side, this collaboration has resulted mainly in an increasing integration of methods, tools and corpora from speech technologies into the analytical practices of linguistic domains such as phonetics and laboratory phonology. In particular, the automatic or semi-automatic analysis of large collections of spoken data are impacting phonetic sciences. These analyses have allowed us to test classical theoretical issues from a different perspective, and they have greatly facilitated the work of linguists (Liberman, 2019). On the speech technology side, in-depth explorations of speech reduction phenomena helped to improve pronunciation dictionaries for speech recognition systems (Adda-Decker and Lamel, 2018; Vasilescu et al., 2018). In this Special Issue, we would like to address different demands and interactions between linguistics (with a particular focus on phonetics and laboratory phonology research) and computer science. We also aim to provide a state of the art on corpus construction and publication, technological processing of corpora, ecological use of corpora gathered for a specific purpose by other scholars and data sharing in general, and benefits for real-world applications of advances in speech corpus construction and analysis. Special emphasis will be placed on the relevance of multidisciplinarity in spoken data creation, analysis and sharing, and on collaborations among different research disciplines. We welcome submissions on advances in speech corpus covering technological and/or linguistic aspects. We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 400?600 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest Editors (ioana.vasilescu@lisn.upsaclay.fr, yaru.wu@sorbonne-nouvelle.fr, mathilde.hutin@lisn.upsaclay.fr) or to the Languages Editorial Office (languages@mdpi.com). Abstracts will be reviewed by the Guest Editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer review. The tentative completion schedule is as follows: * Abstract submission deadline: 15 November 2021 * Notification of abstract acceptance: 15 December 2021 * Full manuscript deadline: 15 April 2022 List of references: Adda-Decker, M., & Lamel, L.

| 7-5 | CfP The speaker's mask: a transdisciplinary interrogator of the complexity of speech, Langue(s) et Parole, Revista de filologia francesa i romanica The speaker's mask: a transdisciplinary interrogator of the complexity of speech Call for papers At the time of this call, the current health crisis still requires the world population to wear face masks designed to protect each individual from droplets and aerosols received or projected during breathing, speaking or singing. Several publications attest to the effectiveness of approved masks in this protection, which varies according to the material of the equipment and its duration of use. However, the study of these devices is also a matter for the human sciences. In particular, the language sciences are not left out in the study of the effects of the mask on the wearer's ability to be heard (Giovanelli et al. 2021) and intelligible (Palmiero et al. 2016), regardless of the communication situation or speech style (Cohn et al. 2021). Speech acoustics (Magee et al. 2020), phonetics, discourse analysis (Onipede 2021), modeling, recognition (Kodali et al. 2021), and psycholinguistics can, for example, be convened by such research regarding a current universal everyday concern. Although several publications have recently appeared in this field, many ways remain to be explored for this transdisciplinary subject. In this volume, we propose to pursue the reflection ay least through the following thematic reflections: • Speech perception: How does hiding the lower part of the face alter the receiver’s perception of the message produced by the emitter, and how does the latter adapt to this communicational change? • Spoken articulation: How does the articulatory discomfort experienced by the masked speaker alter the management of speech production? Does it depend on the segmental and prosodic composition of the speech, on the speaking style or on the communication situation, or even on the representation that the speaker makes of the discomfort caused by the mask to his/her interlocutor? • Voice: What are the effects of wearing a mask on the produced, perceived and felt timbre of the spoken, declaimed or sung voice, in an ecological situation (artistic for example, or in a training context)? • Modeling and recognition of speech: What modeling and recognition of a 'masked speech signal' are possible? • Transmission of speech: What are the issues in terms of acquisition and education related to wearing a face mask? (Early childhood, schooling, native and foreign languages, teaching, etc.) • Discourse analysis: What are the discourses produced in terms of behavior and reaction, emotions and affects, feelings and proprioception, nonverbal communication and aesthetics as a result of wearing the mask? Does wearing the mask (and subsequently dropping it) have any impact (positive or negative) on the speaker's self-esteem and confidence in front of a group? • Clinical phonetics and linguistics: What links can exist between pathologies of the areas covered by the mask and its use? Can the use of the mask cause significant alterations? What are the adaptations to be made when wearing the mask with respect to voice, speech or communication pathologies? Is wearing a mask linked to an increase in vocal fatigue in speakers who have to practice a profession that requires oral expression in front of a large audience? • Engineering: How can knowledge of the effects of the mask on spoken communication be useful to designers of new devices that are better suited to the communication situation and/or the particularities of the target speakers? In this respect, this volume aims to bring together current research on the issues and effects of wearing a mask as they can be studied from the point of view of the various components of the language sciences (linguistics, phonetics, psycholinguistics, clinical phonetics and linguistics, didactics, sociolinguistics) and their implementation in certain communication contexts (speech therapy, psychology, artistic disciplines, etc.). These reflections, in their theoretical aspect, will contribute to the systemic analyses of oral communication, by providing, for example, data to enlighten the mechanisms of compensation, reorganization of voice, speech or discourse to this multi-effect, external disrupter (Vaxelaire et al. 2007) of language and oral communication systems. The examples of themes proposed above aim, by their diversity, to have the reader perceive the width of the epistemological span targeted by this volume of contributions. Other topics may of course be considered, provided that the research questions involved do question the impact of wearing a mask on the functioning of language and thus contribute, in a transdisciplinary approach, to develop knowledge about the latter. From an application point of view, it is hoped that the contributions collected can contribute to optimizing strategies to overcome the disturbances resulting from wearing the mask.

TAL Journal (Open Access), Special issue on 'Cross/multimodal NLP'
Submission deadline: 31 March 2022 Abstract submission deadline is removed. The only deadline is now the full paper submission deadline. If possible, the authors are invited to let us know their intent to submit by email to tal-63-2@sciencesconf.org one week before the full paper submission deadline.
Website: https://tal-63-2.sciencesconf.org
Natural language is not limited to the written modality. It includes and interacts with many others. On the one hand, a message can be conveyed through other language modalities, including audio (speech), gestures and facial expressions (sign language or completed speech). It may also be accompanied by social attitudes and non-verbal dimensions, including signs of affect, spontaneity, pathology, co-adaptation with dialogue participants, etc. Natural language processing (NLP) is thus a joint processing of multiple information channels. On the other hand, natural language is often used to describe concepts and denote entities that are essentially multimodal (description of an image, an event, etc.). Many problems then require bridges between different modalities.
The objective of this special issue of the journal TAL is to promote NLP in multimodal contexts (several modalities contribute to the resolution of a problem) or inter-modal contexts (passage from one modality to another). Thus, the contributions expected for this special issue are, among others (but not exclusively), in the following fields of application:
In the face of the predominance of work on written language processing and the historical compartmentalisation of communities specific to each modality (image processing, signal processing, neuroscience, etc.), authors are encouraged to highlight the specificities (benefits, difficulties, perspectives, etc.) linked to inter- or multimodality in their work, for instance concerning:
