There is now a good choice of speakers: see https://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/distinguished-lecturers/online-seminars ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARSA seminar programme is an important part of the life of a research lab, especially for its research students, but it's difficult for scientists to travel to give talks at the moment. However, presentations may be given on line and, paradoxically, it is thus possible for labs to engage international speakers who they wouldn't normally be able to afford.
Speakers may pre-record their talks if they wish, but they don't have to. It is up to the host lab to contact speakers and make the arrangements. Talks can be state-of-the-art, or tutorials. If you make use of this scheme and arrange a seminar, please send brief details (lab, speaker, date) to education@isca-speech.org If you wish to join the scheme as a speaker, we need is a title, a short abstract, a 1 paragraph biopic and contact details. Please send them to education@isca-speech.org PS. The online seminar scheme is now up and running, with 7 speakers so far:
Jean-Luc Schwartz, Roger Moore, Martin Cooke, Sakriani Sakti, Thomas Hueber, John Hansen and Karen Livescu.

| 3-3-7 | (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.
++ Invited Speakers ++ Jochen L. Leidner, Coburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany Mirella Lapata, University of Edinburgh, Scotland

Le Comité d’organisation des RJC 2024 PASSAGE(S) Les 3 et 4 juin 2024 à Paris Créées en 1998, les Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs et Chercheuses en Sciences du Langage de l’ED 622 (Université Paris Cité et Université Sorbonne Nouvelle) offrent la possibilité aux jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses inscrit·es en Doctorat ou en Master Recherche de présenter leurs travaux sous forme de communications orales. Le thème retenu pour l'appel à communications de cette 27e édition est 'Passage(s)'. Par cette formulation, nous souhaitons attirer l’attention sur les changements continus ou discrets pouvant affecter les langues, la parole, les pratiques langagières. Au pluriel, les passages considèrent ces transferts comme une source d’emprunts et de défis réciproques, au plan interdisciplinaire, mais aussi des échanges entre monde scientifique et domaine public. Le thème des RJC 2024 ne s’inscrit dans aucun cadre critique ou théorique en particulier. Il a pour volonté de laisser libre cours aux différentes interprétations des participant·es à travers plusieurs pistes décrites à titre d’exemples. 1. Passage(s) du temps En diachronie, les passages peuvent renvoyer aux stades successifs de l’évolution d’une langue ; mais aussi aux moments charnières de transition, de bascule, de transformation. On pourra donc réfléchir aux genèses langagières, aux états de langue, aux styles d’époque, aux politiques linguistiques et à leur impact sur la revitalisation des langues en danger (Grinevald & Costa, 2010 ; Bennett, 2020). On pourra également inviter dans le débat le concept d’émergence (Adam, 2012), s’intéresser aux faits de rémanence. À l’échelle des locuteur·ices, le passage du temps affecte tous les aspects du langage et de la parole, de leur acquisition à leur déclin. On invite ici à réfléchir aux transitions que peuvent vivre les locuteur·ices : premières acquisitions d’une ou plusieurs langues, évolution de leurs répertoires langagiers (CECRL, 2000), pathologies (Busto-Crespo et. al., 2016) et vieillissement sain (Stathopoulos, 2011; Tremblay, 2019). 2. Passage(s) sociodiscursifs Au niveau sociolinguistique, on invite à réfléchir au code-switching (Hall & Nilep 2015) et au code-mixing (Auer 1999), aux phénomènes de contact de langue (Léglise & Alby 2013), ainsi qu’aux processus de traduction. Au niveau discursif, on peut s'intéresser aux effets de dialogisme (Bakhtine 1929) ou de représentation du discours autre (Authier-Revuz 2020). Enfin, on s’intéressera aussi aux passages du sens d’un mot à un autre dans le temps et dans le discours (Lecolle 2007), au conflit de définition ou à la resignification. 3. Passage(s) didactiques On pourra considérer l’acte d’enseignement-apprentissage comme passage ou transmission des savoirs. En nous focalisant sur les sujets, il est également possible de considérer le passage, pour l’apprenant·e, d’un niveau de maîtrise à un autre (progression) ou d’un statut d’apprenant·e à un statut de locuteur·ice et pour l’enseignant·e, du passage du statut de locuteur·ice au statut d’enseignant·e. On pourra également considérer la vulgarisation scientifique comme un passage transformatif (Véron 2021). 4. Passage(s) entre production et perception Nous appelons ici à la réflexion sur les passages entre les différents niveaux linguistiques et phonétiques entrant en jeu dans la production de la parole et sa perception : des phénomènes cognitifs et neurologiques en jeu dans la production d'un message et son énonciation à la perception de celui-ci (Levelt, 2001; Drager, 2010). On pourra également étudier la notion de changement d’état des articulateurs et les altérations vocales et de la parole, avec le conduit vocal en tant que passage physique du flux d'air. 5. Enjeux méthodologiques du(des) Passage(s) Cette perspective envisage le passage en tant qu’élément-clef de la démarche scientifique : de la théorie au terrain (Candea, 2017), de la donnée à l’abstraction, de l’expérimentation à la modélisation théorique, de l’hypothèse au résultat… On considérera alors que toute modélisation théorique est en elle-même traduction, c’est-à-dire passage d’un état à un autre. On pourra s’intéresser aux enjeux du passage d’un support de discours à un autre. On peut citer le passage de l’oral à l’écrit (transcription et grammatisation), ainsi que du brouillon au texte final en linguistique de l’écrit, du hors-ligne au numérique (Paveau, 2017). Le passage d’un objet d’étude marqué à un objet d’étude non marqué (Cameron 2014; Bucholtz 1999; Cesbron 2022) amène à construire les identités linguistiques non marquées socialement en objets d’analyse. Le TAL a contribué à de nombreux passages, comme du manuel à l'automatique avec la traduction ou bien l'annotation automatique de corpus (Balakrishnan & Lloyd-Yemoh, 2014). La numérisation des corpus manuscrits (OCRisation, HTRisation), les données synthétisées (parole, texte) et la reconnaissance de la langue ou du locuteur sont également concernés par ces passages (de l'analogique au numérique, du signal/texte au vecteur...).

| 3-3-19 | (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
