3-3-2 | (2023-11-22) The International Symposium on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM2023) , Abu Dhabi, UAE The International Symposium on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM2023) https://fllm-conference.org/FLLM2023/index.php Abu Dhabi, UAE. November 22-23, 2023. (Co-located with SNAMS and Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE) FLLM Call for Papers: With the emergence of foundation models (FMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) that are trained on large amounts of data at scale and adaptable to a wide range of downstream applications, Artificial intelligence is experiencing a paradigm revolution. BERT, T5, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Falcon 180B, Codex, DALL-E, Whisper, and CLIP are now the foundation for new applications ranging from computer vision to protein sequence study and from speech recognition to coding. Earlier models had a reputation of starting from scratch with each new challenge. The capacity to experiment with, examine, and comprehend the capabilities and potentials of next-generation FMs is critical to undertaking this research and guiding its path. Nevertheless, these models are currently inaccessible as the resources required to train these models are highly concentrated in industry, and even the assets (data, code) required to replicate their training are frequently not released due to their demand in the real-time industry. At the moment, mostly large tech companies such as OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and Baidu can afford to construct FMs and LLMS. Despite the expected widely publicized use of FMs and LLMS, we still lack a comprehensive knowledge of how they operate, why they underperform, and what they are even capable of because of their emerging global qualities. To deal with these problems, we believe that much critical research on FMs and LLMS would necessitate extensive multidisciplinary collaboration, given their essentially social and technical structure. The International Symposium on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM) addresses the architectures, applications, challenges, approaches, and future directions. We invite the submission of original papers on all topics related to FLLMs, with special interest in but not limited to:
Submission Guidelines: Papers submitted to FLLM must be the original work of the authors. They may not be simultaneously under review elsewhere. Publications that have been peer-reviewed and have appeared at other conferences or workshops may not be submitted to FLLM. Authors should be aware that IEEE has a strict policy with regard to plagiarism https://www.ieee.org/publications/rights/plagiarism/plagiarism-faq.html The authors' prior work must be cited appropriately. All papers that are accepted, registered, and presented in FLLM will be submitted to IEEEXplore for publication with SNAMS proceedings.

Informations sur la journée
L'Association Française pour l'Intelligence Artificielle (AFIA), au travers de son collège Technologies du Langage Humain (TLH), organise avec l'Association Francophone de la Communication Parlée (AFCP), une première journée commune sur le thème 'Extraction de connaissances interprétables pour l'étude de la communication parlée' le lundi 11 décembre 2023 sur Avignon.
L'objectif de cette journée est de réunir chercheur.euse.s dont l'objet d'étude est la communication parlée, que ce soit du point de vue des Sciences Humaines et Sociales (SHS) ou du Traitement Automatique des Langues et de l'Intelligence Artificielle. Il s'agira au cours de cette journée d'aborder la question de l'extraction de connaissances interprétables dans le signal de parole par le biais d'approches automatiques, en particulier basées sur des apprentissages profonds, pour l'étude de la communication parlée au sens large. Ces études pourront porter sur des thématiques comme l'analyse de la parole dans le domaine de la phonétique ou de la linguistique, la caractérisation du locuteur pour des tâches de reconnaissance, de segmentation et regroupement en locuteurs, de comparaison de voix (criminalistique), l'analyse de la voix/parole pathologique, l'analyse des informations para-linguistiques (autre que le locuteur) comme la parole expressive, les émotions, les accents régionaux, etc., l'étude de comportements cognitifs autour de l'acquisition de la parole, ... Côté Traitement Automatique des Langues et de l'Intelligence Artificielle, les thèmes autour des modèles auto-supervisés de représentation de la parole, de l'explicabilité des modèles, de l'évaluation de l'interprétabilité et de la pertinence des explications, des boucles interactives avec l'utilisateur, pourront également être abordés.
Cette journée sera ainsi l'occasion de montrer des approches automatiques déjà existantes d'extractions de connaissances interprétables, pour répondre aux besoins des chercheur.euse.s en SHS mais également d'exprimer de la part de ces derniers, de nouveaux besoins.
Elle s’adresse aussi bien aux jeunes chercheur.euse.s qu’aux chercheur.euse.s plus avancé.e.s du domaine. Elle est ouverte à la présentation de travaux à différents stades d’avancement voire à la présentation de projets de recherche en voie d'être lancés.
Outre l'intervention d'un conférencier invité et la tenue d'une discussion animée en fin de session, la journée sera rythmée par des communications orales et des posters.
Nous espérons vous voir nombreux !

3-3-12 | (2024-03-24) Seventh International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'24) ; Glasgow, UK ++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++ **************************************************************************** Seventh International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'24) Held in conjunction with the 46th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR'24) March 24th, 2024 – Glasgow, Scotland Website: https://text2story24.inesctec.pt **************************************************************************** ++ Important Dates ++ - Submission Deadline: January 10th, 2024 - Acceptance Notification: February 23rd, 2024 - Camera-ready copies: March 15th, 2024 - Workshop: March 24th, 2024
++ Overview ++ Over these past years, significant breakthroughs, led by Transformers and Large Language Models (LLMs), have been made in understanding natural language text. However, the ability to capture, represent, and analyze contextual nuances in longer texts is still an elusive goal, let alone the understanding of consistent fine-grained narrative structures in text. In the seventh 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 frameworks, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) and AI-powered language models (e.g, chatGPT) 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.
++ List of Topics ++ Research works submitted to the workshop should foster the scientific advance on all aspects of storyline generation and understanding from texts including but not limited to narrative information extraction aspects, narratives representation, knowledge extraction, ethics and bias in narratives, datasets and evaluation protocols and narrative applications such as visualization of narratives, multi-modal aspects, Q&A, etc. To this regard, we encourage the submission of high-quality and original submissions covering the following topics: Information Extraction Aspects
Narrative Representation
Narrative Analysis and Generation
Datasets and Evaluation Protocol
Ethics and Bias in Narratives
Narrative Applications
++ 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 (e.g., Q&A), especially when combined with Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. 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 solicit the following types of contributions:
up to 8 pages + references Original and high-quality unpublished contributions to 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.
up to 5 pages + references Unpublished short papers describing work in progress; 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.
up to 5 pages + references Unpublished papers presenting research/industrial demos; papers describing important resources (datasets or software packages) to the text2story community; 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.

!SURVEY! HYBRID OR NOT? In the spirit of most editions of the conference, we have chosen to have a unity of place for the scientific exchanges and accommodation, and this will be in a conference center in the mountains near Grenoble. Although we prefer all participants to be on-site during the conference, we are considering the possibility to organize it in a hybrid mode. Thus, could you answer as soon as possible the survey (if you plan to attend on-site or if you plan to attend remotely). This gives us a better idea of how we will proceed:https://framaforms.org/issp24-survey-1685914178

3-3-22 | (2024-09-09) Cf Labs Proposals @CLEF 2024, Grenoble, FranceCall for Labs Proposals @CLEF 2024At its 25th edition, the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF) is a continuation of the very successful series of evaluation campaigns of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) which ran between 2000 and 2009, and established a framework of systematic evaluation of information access systems, primarily through experimentation on shared tasks. As a leading annual international conference, CLEF uniquely combines evaluation laboratories and workshops with research presentations, panels, posters and demo sessions. In 2024, CLEF takes place in September, 9-12 at the University of Grenoble Alpes, France. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of information access and related communities are invited to submit proposals for running evaluation labs as part of CLEF 2024. Proposals will be reviewed by a lab selection committee, composed of researchers with extensive experience in evaluating information retrieval and extraction systems. Organisers of selected proposals will be invited to include their lab in the CLEF 2024 labs programme, possibly subject to suggested modifications to their proposal to better suit the CLEF lab workflow or timeline. Background The CLEF Initiative (http://www.clef-initiative.eu/) is a self-organised body whose main mission is to promote research, innovation, and development of information access systems with an emphasis on multilingual information in different modalities - including text and multimedia - with various levels of structure. CLEF promotes research and development by providing an infrastructure for:
Scope of CLEF Labs We invite submission of proposals for two types of labs:
We highly recommend organisers new to the CLEF format of shared task evaluation campaigns to first consider organising a lab workshop to discuss the format of their proposed task, the problem space and practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2024 programme will reserve about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions. During the conference, the lab organisers will present their overall results in overview presentations during the plenary scientific paper sessions to give non-participants insights into where the research frontiers are moving. During the conference, lab organisers are expected to organise separate sessions for their lab with ample time for general discussion and engagement with all participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers. Organisers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as panels, demos, poster sessions, etc. as appropriate. CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovative lab proposals. Potential task proposers unsure of the suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2024 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage. Proposal Submission Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the research community, and the competence of the proposers to coordinate the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organisers as responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab. Proposals should be 3 to 4 pages long and should provide the following information:
Lab proposals must be submitted at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clef2024 choosing the “CLEF 2024 Lab Proposals” track. Reviewing Process Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the CLEF 2024 Lab Organizing Committee. The acceptance decision will be sent by email to the responsible organiser by 28 July 2023. The final length of the lab session at the conference will be determined based on the overall organisation of the conference and the number of participant submissions received by a lab.
Advertising Labs at CLEF 2023 and ECIR 2024 Organisers of accepted labs are expected to advertise their labs at both CLEF 2023 (18-21 September 2023, Thessaloniki, Greece) and ECIR 2024 (24-28 March 2024, Glasgow, Scotland). So, at least one lab representative should attend these events. Advertising at CLEF 2023 will consist of displaying a poster describing the new lab, running a break-out session to discuss the lab with prospective participants, and advertising/announcing it during the closing session. Advertising at ECIR 2024 will consist of submitting a lab description to be included in ECIR 2024 proceedings (11 October 2023) and advertising the lab in a booster session during ECIR 2024. Mentorship Program for Lab Proposals from newcomers CLEF 2019 introduced a mentorship program to support the preparation of lab proposals for newcomers to CLEF. The program will be continued at CLEF 2024 and we encourage newcomers to refer to Friedberg et al. (2015) for initial guidance on preparing their proposal: Friedberg I, Wass MN, Mooney SD, Radivojac P. Ten simple rules for a community computational challenge. PLoS Comput Biol. 2015 Apr 23;11(4):e1004150. The CLEF newcomers mentoring program offers help, guidance, and feedback on the writing of your draft lab proposal by assigning a mentor to you, who help you in preparing and maturing the lab proposal for submission. If your lab proposal falls into the scope of an already existing CLEF lab, the mentor will help you to get in touch with those lab organisers and team up forces. Lab proposals for mentorship must be submitted at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clef2024 choosing the “CLEF 2024 Lab Mentorship” track. Important Dates
