CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------
 
ISA-19, 2023 Joint ACL - ISO Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation
 
Workshop at the 2023 International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS 2023, https://iwcs2023.loria.fr), Nancy, France, June 20-23
 
Submission date: April 12, 2023
 
 
ISA-19 will be the 2023 edition of a series of joint workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group in Semantics (SIGSEM) and the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO. The latest editions were held as part of the IWCS conference 2021 (ISA-17), and of the LREC 2022 conference in Marseille (ISA-18). 
 
ISA workshops bring together researchers who produce and consume annotations and representations of semantic information as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, video, images, and combinations of multiple modalities are combined. Examples of semantic annotation include the markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts, discourse relations, semantic roles, coreference, space and motion, quantification, visualisation and motion, and people and 3D objects participating in activities and events. The ISO organisation pursues the establishment and exploitation of standardised annotation methods and representation schemes in these and related areas, in support of the creation of interoperable semantic resources. The ISA workshops provide a forum for researchers to identify and discuss challenges in effective interoperable semantic annotation and to critically examine and compare existing approaches and frameworks.
 
 
SUBMISSION DETAILS:
 
Topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:
 
* methodological aspects of semantic annotation
* design and evaluation of semantic annotation schemas
* innovative methods for automated and manual annotation
* context-aware annotation learning
* integration of semantic annotation and other linguistic annotations
* considerations for merging annotations of different phenomena
* multi-layered annotations and representations
* semantic annotation, representation, and their interrelatedness
* levels of granularity in annotation schemes
* use of context in semantic annotation processes
* uncertainty and ambiguity in annotations
* semantic annotation and ontologies
* comparison of semantic annotation schemes
* annotator agreement and other metrics for evaluating semantic annotations
* qualitative evaluation of semantic annotations 
* experiments in semantic annotation
* applications of semantic annotation
* best practices for semantic annotation procedures
* semantic annotation, interpretation, and inference
* application and evaluation of standards for semantic annotation
* language- or application-specific aspects of semantic annotation 
* capturing semantic information in images and video
* issues in the annotation of specific domains of semantic information, such as:
 - events, states, processes, circumstances, facts
 - space, time, motion events, and 3D objects as participants
 - relations in discourse and dialogue
 - modality, polarity and factuality 
 - quantification and modification
 - coreference relations
 - semantic roles and predicate-argument structures
 - reference and named entities
 - attribution, sentiment, attitudes and emotions
 
Two types of submission are invited:
 
1. Research papers, describing original research; these can be either: 
   a. long (6-8 pages, with additional pages for references if needed) or 
   b. short (3-5 pages plus references);
2. Project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects (3-5 pages including references).
 
Submission of papers is in PDF form through the ISA-19 submission site.
All submissions should be formatted using the IWCS 2023 instructions for submitting papers.
