CALL FOR PAPERS: SIVA'23
Workshop on Socially Interactive Human-like Virtual Agents
From expressive and context-aware multimodal generation of digital humans to understanding the social cognition of real humans

Submission (to be openened July, 22 2022):  https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIVA2023
SIVA'23 workshop: January, 4 or 5 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://www.stms-lab.fr/agenda/siva/detail/
FG 2023 conference: January 4-8 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://fg2023.ieee-biometrics.org/

OVERVIEW

Due to the rapid growth of virtual, augmented, and hybrid reality together with spectacular advances in artificial intelligence, the ultra-realistic generation and animation of digital humans with human-like behaviors is becoming a massive topic of interest. This complex endeavor requires modeling several elements of human behavior including the natural coordination of multimodal behaviors including text, speech, face, and body, plus the contextualization of behavior in response to interlocutors of different cultures and motivations. Thus, challenges in this topic are two folds—the generation and animation of coherent multimodal behaviors, and modeling the expressivity and contextualization of the virtual agent with respect to human behavior, plus understanding and modeling virtual agent behavior adaptation to increase human’s engagement. The aim of this workshop is to connect traditionally distinct communities (e.g., speech, vision, cognitive neurosciences, social psychology) to elaborate and discuss the future of human interaction with human-like virtual agents. We expect contributions from the fields of signal processing, speech and vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, perceptual studies, and cognitive and neuroscience. Topics will range from multimodal generative modeling of virtual agent behaviors, and speech-to-face and posture 2D and 3D animation, to original research topics including style, expressivity, and context-aware animation of virtual agents. Moreover, the availability of controllable real-time virtual agent models can be used as state-of-the-art experimental stimuli and confederates to design novel, groundbreaking experiments to advance understanding of social cognition in humans. Finally, these virtual humans can be used to create virtual environments for medical purposes including rehabilitation and training.

SCOPE

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

+ Analysis of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Analyzing and understanding of human multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Creating datasets for the study and modeling of human multimodal behavior

- Analysis of style and expressivity in human multimodal behavior
- Cultural variability of social multimodal behavior

+ Modeling and Generation of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Multimodal generation of human-like behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Face and gesture generation driven by text and speech
- Context-aware generation of multimodal human-like behavior
- Modeling of style and expressivity for the generation of multimodal behavior
- Modeling paralinguistic cues for multimodal behavior generation
- Few-shots or zero-shot transfer of style and expressivity
- Slightly-supervised adaptation of multimodal behavior to context

+ Psychology and Cognition of of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Cognition of deep fakes and ultra-realistic digital manipulation of human-like behavior
- Social agents/robots as tools for capturing, measuring and understanding multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Neuroscience and social cognition of real humans using virtual agents and physical robots

3-3-5(2023-04-02) Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23) , Dublin, Ireland

++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++ 

 

****************************************************************************

Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23) 

 

Held in conjunction with the 45th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR'23) 

 

April 2nd, 2023 - Dublin, Ireland 

 

Website: https://text2story23.inesctec.pt

****************************************************************************

++ Important Dates ++ 

    - Submission deadline: January 23rd, 2023 

    - Acceptance Notification Date: March 3rd, 2023 

    - Camera-ready copies: March 17th, 2023 

    - Workshop: April 2nd, 2023 

 

++ Overview ++ 

Recent years have shown a stream of continuously evolving information making it unmanageable and time-consuming for an interested reader to track and process and to keep up with all the essential information and the various aspects of a story. Automated narrative extraction from text offers a compelling approach to this problem. It involves identifying the sub-set of interconnected raw documents, extracting the critical narrative story elements, and representing them in an adequate final form (e.g., timelines) that conveys the key points of the story in an easy-to-understand format. Although, information extraction and natural language processing have made significant progress towards an automatic interpretation of texts, the problem of automated identification and analysis of the different elements of a narrative present in a document (set) still presents significant unsolved challenges

 

++ List of Topics ++ 

In the sixth edition of the Text2Story workshop, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding the structure of narratives and in incorporating their representation in well-established models, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) which are now common and form the backbone of almost every IR and NLP application. It is hoped that the workshop will provide a common forum to consolidate the multi-disciplinary efforts and foster discussions to identify the wide-ranging issues related to the narrative extraction task. To this regard, we encourage the submission of high-quality and original submissions covering the following topics: 

  •     Narrative Representation Models
  •     Story Evolution and Shift Detection
  •     Temporal Relation Identification
  •     Temporal Reasoning and Ordering of Events
  •     Causal Relation Extraction and Arrangement
  •     Narrative Summarization
  •     Multi-modal Summarization
  •     Automatic Timeline Generation
  •     Storyline Visualization
  •     Comprehension of Generated Narratives and Timelines
  •     Big Data Applied to Narrative Extraction
  •     Personalization and Recommendation of Narratives
  •     User Profiling and User Behavior Modeling
  •     Sentiment and Opinion Detection in Texts
  •     Argumentation Analysis
  •     Bias Detection and Removal in Generated Stories
  •     Ethical and Fair Narrative Generation
  •     Misinformation and Fact Checking
  •     Bots Influence
  •     Narrative-focused Search in Text Collections
  •     Event and Entity importance Estimation in Narratives
  •     Multilinguality: Multilingual and Cross-lingual Narrative Analysis
  •     Evaluation Methodologies for Narrative Extraction
  •     Resources and Dataset Showcase
  •     Dataset Annotation for Narrative Generation/Analysis
  •     Applications in Social Media (e.g. narrative generation during a natural disaster)
  •     Language Models and Transfer Learning in Narrative Analysis
  •     Narrative Analysis in Low-resource Languages

++ Dataset ++

    We challenge the interested researchers to consider submitting a paper that makes use of the tls-covid19 dataset (published at ECIR'21) under the scope and purposes of the text2story workshop. tls-covid19 consists of a number of curated topics related to the Covid-19 outbreak, with associated news articles from Portuguese and English news outlets and their respective reference timelines as gold-standard. While it was designed to support timeline summarization research tasks it can also be used for other tasks including the study of news coverage about the COVID-19 pandemic. A script to reconstruct and expand the dataset is available at https://github.com/LIAAD/tls-covid19. The article itself is available at this link: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-72113-8_33 

 

++ Submission Guidelines ++ 

 

    We invite two kinds of submissions: 

  • Full papers (up to 7 pages + references): Original and high-quality unpublished contributions on the theory and practical aspects of the narrative extraction task. Full-papers should introduce existing approaches, describe the methodology and the experiments conducted in detail. Negative result papers to highlight tested hypotheses that did not get the expected outcome are also welcomed.
  • Work in progress, demos and dissemination papers (up to 4 pages + references): unpublished short papers describing work in progress; demo and resource papers presenting research/industrial prototypes, datasets or software packages; position papers introducing a new point of view, a research vision or a reasoned opinion on the workshop topics; and dissemination papers describing project ideas, ongoing research lines, case studies or summarized versions of previously published papers in high-quality conferences/journals that is worthwhile sharing with the Text2Story community, but where novelty is not a fundamental issue.

    Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published at CEUR workshop proceedings (indexed in Scopus and DBLP) as long as they don't conflict with previous publication rights.

 

++ Workshop Format ++ 

    Participants of accepted papers will be given 15 minutes for oral presentations.

HISPhonCog 2023: Hanyang International Symposium on Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language 2023

Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea, May 26-27, 2023

https://site.hanyang.ac.kr/web/hisphoncog/about-hisphoncog/2023

HIPCS (Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language) at Hanyang University, together with Department of English Language and Literature, holds its 3rd annual international symposium on current issues on phonetics and cognitive sciences of language (HISPhonCog) 2023 on 26-27 May, 2023.

Theme for HISPhonCog 2023

Linguistic and cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail underlying sound systems and/or sound change

We have witnessed over past decades that the severance between phonetics and phonology has been steadily eroding along with the awareness of the importance of scalar and gradient aspects of speech in understanding the linguistic sound system and sound change. In particular, non-contrastive phonetic events (either at the subphonemic level or at the suprasegmental level of micro-prosody), which had traditionally been understood to be beyond the speaker’s control (as low-level automatic physiological phenomena), have been reinterpreted as part of the grammar. They have turned out to be either systematically linked with phonological contrasts in the segmental or intonational phonology and higher-order linguistic structures (e.g., prosodic structure, morphosyntactic structure, information structure) or governed by language-specific phonetic rules that make the seemingly cross-linguistically similar phonetic processes distinctive, both of which may in turn serve as driving forces for sound change. Furthermore, we have enjoyed seeing that the investigation of linguistic roles of fine phonetic detail provides insights into phonetic underpinnings of other speech variation phenomena such as sociolinguistically-driven speech variation and effects of native-language experience on production and perception of unfamiliar languages or L2. Most remarkably, such phonetic underpinnings are not purely segmental in nature, but they are suprasegmental or systematically related to prosodic structure and the intonational grammar of the language.  

We invite submissions which provide some empirical (experimental) evidence for exploring any issues related to the theme of the symposium. We also wish to have a special session on Articulatory Phonology and speech dynamics bearing on the issue of how gradient and categorical aspects of human speech may be combined to serve as a cognitive linguistic unit. We will also consider submissions that deal with other general issues in speech production and perception in L1 and L2. We particularly welcome submissions from the neuro-cognitive perspectives or from the phonetics-prosody interplay.  

Invited speakers

  • Adam Albright (MIT)
  • Lisa Davidson (New York University)
  • John Kingston (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
  • Marianne Pouplier (University Munich)
  • Donca Steriade (MIT)
  • Andrew Wedel (University of Arizona)

A possible Special Issue to be published in a journal

  • Oral presentations (including invited talks) and a limited number of selected posters (related to the themes of the conference under the rubric of linguistic/cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail) will be invited to submit a full manuscript to be considered further for a possible inclusion in a Special Issue in a peer-reviewed international journal.
  • The actual journal has not been selected but we are considering one of the followings journals subject to final approval from a targeted journal: Journal of Phonetics, Phonetica, Journal of International Phonetic Association, Laboratory Phonology, Language and Speech, Linguistic Vanguard, The Linguistic Review, etc. 
  • Once we know the journal, we will announce it on the HISPhonCog 2023 webpage.
  • (tentative) Guest editors: T. Cho, S. Kim & H. MItterer
  • If you wish to have your paper considered for the special issue, regardless of whether your paper is selected for oral presentation or not, please indicate your intention when you submit an abstract through Easy Chair. 
  • We will also consider papers on the theme, even if they are not to be presented at the conference. In such a case, please send a two-page abstract (including figures and references within the two page limit) to Taehong Cho at tcho@hanyang.ac.kr by February 10. 
  • Deadline of submission of invited/selected papers (for a special issue): July 30, 2023. (This deadline will be strictly enforced.)
  • Note that each selected paper will undergo standard editorial/review processes which may eventually lead to its exclusion (rejection). 

Support for international participants (possible free accommodation)

  • As before, we will do our best to provide free local hotel accommodation (one room for up to 3 nights per presentation) for international presenters affiliated with a foreign institute/university, travelling from abroad.
  • Please note, however, that the local hotel we had a contract with before was closed due to Covid 19. So we may not be able to make an arrangement for free accommodation. If we don't find a solution, we will have to provide a small amount of partial accommodation subsidy with priority to be given to student presenters. The details will be sent to qualified individuals along with an acceptance letter, depending on the final budget approval.  

Free registration fees

  • We are very pleased to inform you that we will be able to make registration free as before.
  • Free registion will include free banquet, free munches for breakfast, free refreshments and a free conference handbook
  • Attendees will have to pay (optionally) for lunches (10 USD or equivalent in KRW for each lunch) at the time of arrival. (The detail will be provided along with registration.) 
  • Pre-registration should be made by no later than April 10, 2023 to be guaranteed for possible (partial) accommodation support (for international presenters) and free registration (for all foreign and domestic participants and audience).
  • A pre-registration form that arrives a few days after April 10 may still be considered for free registration, depending on the budget and availability. Please contact us at hanyang.hipcs@gmail.com if you miss the deadline by a few days but still would like to register in advance.

3-3-11(2023-06-15) JPC 2023 (Journées de phonétique clinique)- Toulouse, France

JPC 2023 - Toulouse du 15 au 17 juin 2023

https://www.irit.fr/jpc2023/


2e Appel à Communication

Depuis leur création en 2005, les Journées de Phonétique Clinique (JPC) ont été régulièrement organisées sur une base bisannuelle. Après une dernière édition organisée en Belgique par nos collègues du Laboratoire de phonétique de l’Université de Mons en 2019 (sous l’égide de l’Institut de Recherche en Sciences et Technologies du Langage), les JPC reviennent en France en 2023 (après annulation en 2021) pour leur 9e édition. Co-organisée par l’Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT), le laboratoire de Neuro-Psycho-Linguistique (LNPL) et le Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Toulouse ainsi que par le Laboratoire Informatique d’Avignon (LIA), la manifestation se tiendra à l’Université de Toulouse du 15 au 17 juin 2023.

Rencontre scientifique internationale, les Journées de Phonétique Clinique sont principalement destinées à rassembler et à favoriser les échanges entre chercheurs, cliniciens, informaticiens, ingénieurs, phonéticiens et tout autre professionnel s’intéressant au fonctionnement de la parole, de la voix et du langage. Les JPC accueillent autant les experts que les jeunes chercheurs et les étudiants des domaines cliniques (médecine, orthophonie/logopédie), psychologique, informatique et des sciences du langage.

La production et la perception de la parole, de la voix et du langage de l’enfant et de l’adulte, sain ou atteint d’une pathologie, sont les domaines de prédilection des JPC. Ils y sont ainsi abordés selon des points de vue variés, permettant le partage des savoirs et l’ouverture de nouvelles pistes de réflexion, de recherche et de collaboration.

Lors de cette neuvième édition, la thématique des mesures de la parole sera mise en avant. Elle s’inscrit dans un cadre conceptuel dont les facettes sont multiples : analyses perceptives, traitement automatique du signal, caractérisations de l’intelligibilité, du trouble de la parole, des di/ysfluences atteignant le débit de la parole, la prosodie… Sa pertinence clinique est essentielle : l’évaluation du trouble, de ses conséquences fonctionnelles et de l’impact sur la qualité de vie est primordiale pour le suivi des patients atteints de pathologies neurologiques, cancérologiques…

Trois conférences plénières seront prévues autour du thème des journées. Une table ronde ainsi que des ateliers feront également partie du programme de cette nouvelle édition. 

Les propositions de communication (résumé de 400 mots, hors titre, auteurs et références) porteront sur les problématiques suivantes (liste non exhaustive) :

  • Parole et perturbations des systèmes perceptifs, auditifs et visuels
  • Modélisation de la parole et de la voix pathologiques
  • Perturbations du système oro-pharyngo-laryngé
  • Évaluation fonctionnelle de la parole, du langage et de la voix.
  • Diagnostic et traitement des troubles de la parole et de la voix parlée et chantée
  • Instrumentation et ressources en phonétique clinique
  • Troubles cognitifs et moteurs de la parole et du langage
  • …

Une attention particulière sera portée aux propositions ciblant la thématique autour des mesures de la parole.

LOCATION

The city of Plzen (or Pilsen in Germanic languages) is situated in the
heart of West Bohemia at the confluence of four rivers: Uhlava, Uslava,
Radbuza, and Mze. With its approx. 171,000 inhabitants it is the fourth
largest city in the Czech Republic and an important industrial, commercial,
and administrative centre. It is also the capital of the Pilsen Region. In
addition, it has been elected the European Capital of Culture for 2015 by
the Council of the European Union.

The city of Plzen has a convenient location in the centre of West Bohemia,
close to the German border, on the confluence of four rivers. The place
lied on the crossroads of important medieval trade routes and nowadays it
naturally forms an important highway and railroad junction; thus, it is
easily accessible using both individual and public means of transport.

Plzen lies 85 km (53 mi) south-westwards from the Czech capital Prague, 222
km (138 mi) from the Bavarian capital Munich, 148 km (92 mi) from the Saxon
capital Dresden, and 174 km (108 mi) from the Upper Austrian capital Linz.

The closest international airport is the Vaclav Havel Airport Prague, which
is 75 km (47 mi) away and one can get from there to Plzen very easily
within about two hours by Prague public transport and a train/bus.

The 2023 IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop (ASRU 2023) will be held on December 16 – 20, 2023, at Taipei, Taiwan. The workshop is held every two years and has a tradition of bringing together researchers from academia and industry in an intimate and collegial setting to discuss problems of common interest in automatic speech recognition and understanding. The conference will be an 'in-person' event (with a virtual component for those that can not attend physically). The event will be held in the Beitou Area, the town of hot springs of Taipei. We encourage all to join us for this wonderful event in Taiwan; looking forward to seeing you all in Taiwan. The paper submission deadline is July 3rd, 2023.
