3-1-4INTERSPEECH 2016 SPECIAL SESSION: SHARING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION RESOURCES FOR UNDERSTANDING SPEECH PROCESSING

INTERSPEECH 2016 SPECIAL SESSION: SHARING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION RESOURCES FOR UNDERSTANDING SPEECH PROCESSING

Organizers: Eric Fosler-Lussier, The Ohio State University; Rebecca Bates, Minnesota State University, Mankato;  Florian Metze, Carnegie Mellon University
Contact email: speech-kitchen@lists.andrew.cmu.edu
 
Speech processing systems have become increasingly complex and difficult to share across sites. Significant time is spent reimplementing published methods; even when software is shared, the lack of common environments between sites means that reproducing results can require significant effort. Open software repositories, virtual machines, and tools for automatically building container environments in the cloud are beginning to facilitate cross-site collaboration.
 
We seek contributions from creators of resources (such as software, VMs, web services, frameworks, datasets, etc.) describing their experience in production and usage of these resources in recognition, synthesis, or other speech/language processing technologies. In addition, we welcome essay contributions addressing the use of resources in both research and education settings. Featured virtual machines will be shared with session attendees in order to foster community discussion and encourage use after the session.

Please note that there is a split submission deadline - for resource providers, the standard Interspeech submission deadline applies (March 23), but for the essay contributions, we ask for submissions by March 1.  See the link below for more details.

Call for papers

 

This special session aims at gathering researchers in speech technology and researchers in linguistics (working in language documentation and fundamentals of speech science). Such a partnership is particularly important for Sub-Saharan African languages which tend to remain under-resourced, under-documented and often also un-written.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers in the following areas:

  • ASR and TTS for Sub-Saharan African languages and dialects

  • Cross-lingual and multi-lingual acoustic and lexical modeling

  • Applications of spoken language technologies for the African continent

  • Phonetic and linguistic studies in Sub-Saharan African languages

  • Zero resource speech technologies: unsupervised discovery of linguistic units

  • Language documentation for endangered languages of Africa

  • Machine-assisted annotation of speech and laboratory phonology

  • Resource / Corpora production in African languages

oral and poster sessions, with special sessions on topics of interest,
Show & Tell (demo) sessions and panel discussions with industry partners.

Regular papers (including those for special sessions) and Show & Tell papers
must be uploaded in PDF format to the Odyssey 2016 Submission System:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=odyssey2016

Guidelines for paper preparation and Word/LaTeX templates are available
on the website:

http://odyssey2016.org//?p=Submission#shorthead

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*REGULAR PAPERS*

Regular papers (including those for special sessions) must be
at most 8 pages long and are expected to include scientific or
methodological novelty, which must be stated clearly in the
Introduction, along with a review of the relevant prior work.
Each paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the
scientific committee. Accepted papers will appear in electronic
proceedings, and will be accessible through the ISCA Archive
< http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/archive/online-archive>.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*SHOW & TELL PAPERS*

For the Show & Tell (demo) sessions, authors must submit short papers
(at most, 4 pages long) describing a system or prototype, a target
application, a product, a demonstrator or any combination of them.
These contributions do not have to present scientific or methodological
novelty; therefore, they will not undergo full peer review and will not be
included in the proceedings (though will be available for download
on the website). One or more poster sessions will be allocated for
Show & Tell submissions, with auxiliary equipment (tables, plugs, etc.)
available if requested. The organizing committee may select the most
interesting submissions for oral presentation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*INDUSTRY AND FORENSICS TRACK*

To foster a closer collaboration across industry and academia,
an industry track was introduced in Odyssey 2014. The initiative is
continued in Odyssey 2016 under the name 'Industry and Forensics track',
in order to include forensic and investigative speaker recognition,
an application which involves diverse areas of expertise. Companies,
R&D labs, government agencies and other interested parties (e.g. forensic
experts and labs) are called to participate in the following sessions:

*- Forensic and investigative speaker recognition*
*- Commercial applications of speaker and language recognition*

These sessions are expected to be highly interactive, with a series
of pitch talks (3-5 minutes long each), followed by a panel discussion
open to the audience, addressing practical issues or unsolved problems
'out-in-the-wild' that deserve attention.

To participate, just send an email to info@odyssey2016.org
< mailto:info@odyssey2016.org> with
'Industry and Forensics track' as Subject, providing details of
your company profile (in particular, your involvement with or
your need for speaker and language recognition technology),
your interests (forensics, commercial or other) and contact info.
Besides voice biometrics providers and companies that develop
and exploit speaker/language recognition solutions, we encourage
companies who are IN NEED for speaker or language recognition
technology to participatre in these sessions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*SPECIAL SESSION 1: Speaker Recognition in Multimedia Content (SS-SRMC)*

Speaker information is instrumental in better exploiting spoken
multimedia content, as evidenced by recent work on large-scale
speaker indexing and linking, or on speaker naming in broadcast
archives.

The special session 'Speaker recognition in multimedia content',
organized in collaboration with the ISCA SIG on Speech and Language
in Multimedia (SIG-SLIM, http://slim-sig.irisa.fr/), pursues
two main goals: (1) to share recent advances in the field and
to identify synergies between the various multimedia applications
where speaker recognition, indexing and segmentation is considered;
and (2) to raise awareness on speaker-related research in multimedia
so as to strengthen the link between the multimedia and the speaker
recognition communities.

The session targets researchers working on any topic related to
speaker characterization for multimedia content processing, including
(but not limited to) speaker segmentation, speaker indexing, speaker
clustering, speaker naming or discovery, or speaking face detection.
Multimodal (e.g. speech + face recognition) approaches are particularly
welcome. We expect submissions presenting original research results,
ongoing research and development projects, tools and resources that
are being made available, or benchmarking initiatives.

Submissions to this Special Session must be done under the topic:

'Speaker recognition in multimedia content'

*SPECIAL SESSION 2: NIST 2015 Language Recognition*
*i-Vector Machine Learning Challenge (SS-LRiMLC)*

In 2015 NIST launched a Language Recognition i-Vector Machine Learning
Challenge as an alternative evaluation methodology to attract newcomers
to the field by reducing the effort required to preprocess the data
through the use of i-vectors.

This special session focuses on the recent advances in language
recognition in the context of the NIST Challenge as well as on the
Challenge results. As such, we invite participants of the Challenge
as well as researchers who work on the language recognition task
using i-vectors to submit papers about their systems or techniques.
Novel uses of i-vectors for language recognition as well as data
resources and benchmark results are of special interest.

Submissions to this Special Session are expected to present original
ideas or results, and must be done under the topic:

'Machine learning for speaker and language recognition'

*AWARDS*

Odyssey 2016 will feature two awards:

*- A best paper award*
*- A best student paper award*

All regular papers (including special session papers) are candidates
for the awards. The awards are given based on the review reports AND
the presentation at the conference. For the best student paper award,
the first author must be a student (meaning that she/he does not yet

and ViVoLab (http://vivolab.unizar.es/), from the School of Engineering and
Architecture of the University of Zaragoza.

The workshop will be held in Bilbao
< http://www.bilbaoturismo.net/BilbaoTurismo/en/tourists>, a medium-size
city in the north of Spain,
with about 350,000 inhabitants. The venue, Bizkaia Aretoa
< http://www.ehu.eus/en/web/bizkaia-aretoa/home>, is located in the heart
of the city. The building, designed by the Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza,
hosts all kind of social, cultural, academic and scientific events, most
of them
organized by the University of the Basque Country.

Bilbao is the commercial and administrative head of a large area of about
one million people living by the Ibaizabal-Nervion estuary. After
centuries of
trading and iron industry, in the last decades Bilbao has become a
service town,
supported by a huge investment in infrastructure and urban renewal, that
started
with the construction of an underground network (Metro Bilbao) in 1995 and
the opening of the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum in 1997.

The Bilbao airport
< http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite/Aeropuerto-Bilbao/en/Home.html> can
be easily reached from many European airports,
including international hubs such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt,
Istanbul, London, Madrid or Paris, which provide worldwide connectivity.
The city is connected to the European road network by the AP-8 toll
motorway,
to the north of Spain by the A-8 (free) motorway and to the rest of Spain
by the AP-68 toll motorway.

Located in a hilly countryside, Bilbao offers many outdoor activities.
Hiking is very popular as well as rock climbing in the nearby mountains.
Mount Artxanda, easily accessible from the town centre by a funicular
railway,
features a recreational area at the summit, with restaurants, a sports
complex
and a balcony with panoramic views. In the south, the natural wonders of
Mount Pagasarri receive hundreds of hikers every weekend.

A few minutes away by public transport, the Bizkaia Bridge, declared World
Heritage in 2006, connects Portugalete and Las Arenas at the left and right
banks of the estuary. In the coast, old fishing villages like Plentzia,
Mundaka or Lekeitio have become touristic spots due to the nearby beaches,
where watersports, especially surfing, are practiced. Just an hour away
by car,
the beautiful city of San Sebastian, as well as the vineyards and wineries
of La Rioja, are worth a visit.

1ST Call For Papers LTLT

2nd Workshop on Language Teaching, Learning and Technology

September 6./7. 2016
https://sites.google.com/site/l1teachingandtechnology/home

 

The 2nd Workshop on Language Teaching, Learning and Technology is going to take place in San Francisco on September 6 and 7.

June 12, 2016:     paper submission deadline

June 26, 2016:     notification of paper acceptance

July 10, 2016:      camera-ready paper submission deadline

September 6/7, 2016    workshop

 

The LTLT workshop intends to join researchers across countries on the topic of language teaching/learning. Papers submitted here do not have to employ any technology yet. We are looking for contributions from users that may not be aware of all the possibilities that the technologies have to offer to solve educational research problems. What these papers bring to the table are problem statements and data collections that the speech and text processing community may in turn not be aware of. Thus we are looking for symbioses between the two disciplines in research about learning/teaching language. It is important for both areas to get to know each other's research questions and potential application for technologies.

This goal will be achieved through collocation with workshops that are associated with Interspeech (focusing on technology for automatic processing and synthesis of speech and text) that allows you to meet people with similar interests, share your work and forge new interactions across disciplines. In doing so, we are looking for a broad range of contributions from didactics, psychology and pedagogy from researchers interested in bridging the current gap to automation. Demonstrations as well as samples of data collections and annotations are welcome.

This workshop is endorsed by ISCA and organized by the Special Interest Group for Children (SIG-CHILD) group that has regular WOCCI workshops.

Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:

  • Data collection, methods, annotation, recognition, analysis, diagnostic, progression of skills, for example in:
  • Handwriting
  • Spoken interaction
  • Story telling
  • Text production
  • Spelling errors
  • Evaluation of L1/L2 teaching methods
  • Teaching L2 Kids in an L1 class environment (many classes have a large number of multilingual children in L1 classrooms whose parents to not speak the L1 language)
  • Issues in majority language learning environments for L1 and L2 learners
  • Models of learning
  • Applications for teaching, self-learning, classroom learning
  • Giving Feedback
  • Technology in the classroom
  • Games for language learning
  • Other analyses and ideas that have to do with language teaching

3-3-2(2016-03-08) 2nd Hackday sur la Recherche d'Information et les Documents Numériques, Toulouse France


 Second Hackday sur la Recherche d'Information et les Documents Numériques
                            (CORIA/CIFED 2016)

              Toulouse, France -- 8 mars 2016

http://hackday.lip6.fr/

Durant la semaine de la Recherche d'Information et du Document Numérique, la veille des conférences CORIA et CIFED, nous organisons cette année un second Hackday. Cette journée a pour but de fédérer et dynamiser les communautés CORIA et CIFED autour d'un défi.

Cet évènement propose aux chercheurs d'effectuer en équipe une journée de réflexion, et d'implémentation afin de créer des applications ou des prototypes mettant en oeuvre les dernières technologies et les derniers modèles du domaine. Notre idée est d'une part d'encourager la discussion entre chercheurs, et la dissémination de nos résultats scientifiques à travers un évènement « original ». Nous espérons créer un endroit convivial et idéal pour les rencontres -- entre jeunes chercheurs, mais pas seulement!

L'évènement durera 24h  (jour et nuit), l'inscription y est gratuite -- mais la nourriture n'est pas incluse. Il commencera le 8 au matin et se terminera le 9. Les participants le souhaitant pourront présenter leurs réalisations lors de CORIA/CIFED.

La thématique retenue pour cette année s'intéressera à tout ce qu?il est possible de faire à partir de *données sur des séries télévisées*. L?équipe organisatrice fournira le jour même aux participants un corpus complet de données multimedia  (corpus formé à partir du dataset TVD qui sera enrichi, voir http://tvd.niderb.fr/). Ce corpus contiendra des épisodes de séries TV, des transcriptions audio, des sous-titres dans plusieurs langues, des dialogues, des résumés, etc. Des opinions et données sociales seront également disponibles.  Les participants seront libres d'utiliser le langage, logiciel, et même les données additionnelles qu'ils souhaiteraient, tant que la thématique globale (les séries télévisées) est respectée.

L'inscription à cette journée s'effectue via le site Web (http://hackday.lip6.fr/).

3-3-3(2016-03-14) 10th ICVPB in Viña del Mar, Chile

Welcome to the 10th ICVPB in Viña del Mar

March 14-17, 2016

http://www.icvpb2016.com/

 

We are pleased to invite you to the 10th International Conference on Voice Physiology and Biomechanics, ICVPB 2016, celebrated for the first time in the Southern hemisphere, in Viña del Mar, Chile. ICVPB is one of the prime international forums for current scientific research on the larynx and voice.

 

Brief History of the Conference

 

The International Conference on Vocal Fold Physiology and Biomechanics (ICVPB) dates back to 1980. Initially called the Voice Physiology Conference, it began with five individuals who brought together voice scientists from Japan and the United States. The five people were Wilbur James Gould, Osamu Fujimura, Kenneth Stevens, Minoru Hirano, and Ingo Titze. The first meeting was held in Kurume Japan, in 1980. The focus was and has always been basic science, the physical and biological underpinnings of voice production. In total, nine Vocal Fold Physiology meetings were held. After Kurume, the meeting took place in Madison (1982), Iowa City (1984), New Haven (1985), Tokyo (1987), Stockholm (1990), Denver (1992), Kurume (1994), and Sydney (1995). The name of the conference was then changed to ICVPB to include the influx of biomechanics and biology into our field. The first ICVPB meeting was held in 1997 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, followed by Berlin (1999), Denver (2002), Marseille (2004), Tokyo (2006), Tampere (2008), Madison (2010), Erlangen (2012), Salt Lake City (2014), and now Viña del Mar (2016).




Topic Areas:

  • Fluid-structure-sound interactions in normal and disordered phonation
  • Soft tissue and muscle biomechanics
  • Acoustics aerodynamics and kinematics of voice production
  • Laryngeal and voice physiology and neurophysiology
  • Neuromuscular control of normal and disordered phonation
  • Modeling of normal and disordered voice production
  • Modeling vocal fold molecular and cellular biology
  • Imaging and monitoring techniques for the assessment of vocal function
 

Important Dates:

    • Abstract submission: October 2, 2015

    • Notification of Acceptance:
       November 30, 2015

  • Final Submission deadline:

The show & tell event includes demonstrations of innovations done by research and engineering groups in industry, academia and governmental institutes. The demonstrations can be related to any of the technical areas of ICASSP, as defined in the call for papers of ICASSP 2016. The show & tell sessions will take place concurrently with the regular technical sessions at ICASSP and they will be co-located with the commercial exhibitions in order to maximize visibility.

The deadline for submission of a show & tell proposal is December 1, 2015, and the notification of acceptance will be given by December 21, 2015. Proposals should be submitted by filling out the form below. All information requested in the template must be provided in order for the proposal to receive full consideration. Show & tell demonstrations at ICASSP are attractive and space is limited. The abstract must clearly explain in what sense the proposed demonstration is novel and innovative and how it will appeal to the ICASSP audience. Show & tell demonstrations should have an interactive component, which goes beyond demonstrating ?simple? simulated graphs on a computer. Commercial product demonstrations are considered more appropriate for ICASSP exhibitions, and will not be considered for show & tell.

Each demonstration will be provided with a skirted table, easel for a poster and an electrical power strip. All other equipment needs to be provided by the presenters. You will be responsible for any shipping costs, delivery to and from the conference as well as care of your equipment during the conference. You will also need to register at ICASSP in order to present a demonstration. Please arrive earlier and make your demonstration ready before your session starts.

All demos will be evaluated for up two Best Demo Awards by the organization committee. The recipients of Best Demo Award will be granted a certificate from the organization committee of ICASSP 2016 and a prize offered by the sponsor of this event.

For questions, please contact the Show & Tell Committee Chair Fa-Long Luo at the address demo@icassp2016.org

3-3-7(2016-04-11) sessions voix/parole Congrès de la Société française d'acoustique, Le Mans, France

 

Le prochain Congrès Français d’Acoustique se tiendra au Mans du 11 au 15 Avril 2016. Il est organisé

par la Société Française d’Acoustique (SFA) et l’Institut Le Mans Acoustique.

http://cfa2016.univ-lemans.fr/fr/index.html

Plusieurs sessions autour de la voix et de la parole se tiendront au cours de ce congrès :

Session générale GAP «Acoustique de la parole»

resp. Coralie Vincent (LSFL) & Fabrice Silva (LMA)

Cette session a pour vocation à recevoir les contributions diverses et variées qui ne s'inscrivent pas

spécifiquement dans une des sessions spécialisées, par exemple : les problématiques de traitement

automatique de la parole, les nouvelles technologies vocales, l'acquisition de la parole ou encore les

études phonétiques...

Session spécialisée GAP «Approche expérimentale et théorique de la voix»

resp Lucie Bailly (3SR) et Yo Fujiso (PROTiP Médical)

Cette session spécialisée se propose de faire un état de l’art récent sur les outils et méthodes

actuellement développés pour la caractérisation expérimentale et la modélisation théorique de la

production vocale (phonation, articulation et/ou rayonnement sonore). Les problématiques de

recherche abordées pourront concerner des aspects acoustiques, aérodynamiques, biomécaniques

et/ou leurs couplages mis en jeu, ainsi que les aspects biomédicaux (physiologiques,

anatomiques, ...). Les approches expérimentales attendues dans cette session sont de nature in vivo,

ex vivo ou in vitro. Les approches théoriques attendues peuvent concerner le formalisme proposé

pour décrire chacun des phénomènes physiques ci-dessus, ou leurs interactions.

Session spécialisée GAP/GPS «Qualité vocale : de la production à la perception»

resp Nicolas Côté (ISEN) et Yves Laprie (LORIA)

On s'intéresse ici à la qualité de la voix, au niveau de la production (voix réelle ou de synthèse), de la

transmission (aérienne ou via un système de télécommunications) et de la perception (dans un milieu

bruité ou réverbéré).

Cette session à également pour but de créer en lien entre les chercheurs de la production vocale et

ceux de la perception de la voix.

Session spécialisée GAP/GSAM «Jeu instrumental et vocal: interaction et contrôle»

resp Claudia Fritz (IJLRDA) et Christophe d'Alessandro (LIMSI)

Le but de cette session est de présenter les recherches récentes sur l’interaction entre le

musicien et son instrument ou sa voix, tant d'un point de vue de la modélisation que d'un

point de vue expérimental. Pourront ainsi être présentés les travaux sur les gestes et

paramètres de contrôle de la voix et des instruments acoustiques de toutes sortes mais

aussi des instruments électroniques , la perception des instruments par les musiciens qui les

jouent, la boucle de perception-action dans le jeu musical, les stratégies de jeu, les

potentielles conséquences pédagogiques, …

Session spécialisée GAP/GSAM «Méthodes numériques appliquées aux instruments de musique

et à la voix»

resp Christophe Vergez (LMA) et Annemie van Hirtum (GIPSA-lab)

Cette session souhaite mettre en avant la contribution des méthodes numériques dans la

modélisation et la compréhension des phénomènes physiques relatifs aux instruments de musique et

la voix. Toute communication incluant l'utilisation de méthodes numériques est donc la bienvenue

afin de contribuer à donner une vue d’ensemble des approches actuelles dans ce domaine.

Le site de soumission des résumés est ouvert jusqu’au 26 Novembre 2015

La Perception

en langue et en discours

(2e éd.)

Colloque international de Sciences du langage

Université d’Opole, 21-23 avril 2016 La Perception en langue et en discours (2e éd.) Université d’Opole, 21-23 avril 2016 2

Suite au succès rencontré par la première édition du colloque international de Sciences du langage « La Perception en langue et en discours », lequel s’est tenu à l’Université de Varsovie en avril 2014, la Chaire de Culture et Langue Françaises de l’Université d’Opole, l’Institut des Langues Romanes et de Traduction de l’Université de Silésie, l’Institut d’Études Romanes de l’Université de Varsovie, l’Institut d’Études Romanes de l’Université de Wrocław, l’Institut de Recherche en Langues et Littératures Européennes de l’Université de Haute-Alsace, l’Institut de Phonétique et l’Équipe de recherche Parole et Cognition de l’Université de Strasbourg, la Faculté des Lettres de l’Université P.J. Šafárik de Košice, le Département des Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication et le Département de Langues et Littératures de l’Université Libre de Bruxelles ainsi que le Département de Langues Modernes et Classiques de l’Université du Kentucky collaborent à l’organisation de sa deuxième édition, qui se tiendra cette fois-ci les 21, 22 et 23 avril 2016 au Département des Philologies de l’Université d’Opole.

Argumentaire

La rencontre sera centrée sur la perception en langue, en discours et en parole, thème qu’il s’agira avant tout d’aborder sous ses diverses coutures linguistiques, soient-elles grammaticales, morphologiques, syntaxiques, sémantiques, pragmatiques, discursives, logiques, cognitives, phonétiques, sociolinguistiques, psycholinguistiques, etc.

L’objectif général du colloque sera ainsi de s’interroger sur la question de savoir comment notre langage prend en charge nos perceptions, tant en termes de construction, de profilage, de transmission que de réception, pour tenter de rendre plus nets les contours encore flous de l’expression linguistique de la perception, d’en approfondir l’étude des propriétés et/ou spécificités connues voire d’en mettre au jour de nouvelles. De manière plus spécifique, il s’agira entre autres, à partir de l’observation de la façon dont elles s’inscrivent dans le langage, de faire ressortir la dualité des ontologies de la perception (sensorielle vs. intellectuelle).

En pratique, à partir de la langue, du discours et de la parole, on interrogera le moule et la matrice linguistiques de la perception à travers, notamment, les axes suivants : descriptif (quels outils et/ou mécanismes instruisent nos perceptions, les décrivent, les véhiculent ou en rendent compte ?) ; lexicologique (comment les dictionnaires traitent-ils des vocables et des structures de la perception ?) ; prospectif (les grammaires, ouvrages grammaticaux, manuels scolaires ou autres référentiels pédagogiques de demain devront-ils intégrer la perception comme un contenu à part entière, et si oui, comment ?) ; didactique (faut-il enseigner la perception comme un contenu indépendant, et si oui, comment ?) ; épistémologique (qu’est-ce qu’une perception, quels en sont les fondements, les modes et les dynamiques de production, d’évolution, d’organisation, de réception et/ou de validation ?) ; contrastif (qu’est-ce qui distingue la perception d’un évènement de celle d’un objet, d’un fait ou d’une action ? ; qu’est-ce qui distingue un compte rendu de perception en français d’un compte rendu de perception dans d’autres langues données ?) ; traductologique (quelles difficultés concrètes représente la traduction des comptes rendus de perception du français vers une langue cible donnée, et comment pallier ces problèmes ?) ; historique (quand les notions de perception, de contenu et compte rendu de perception sont-elles apparues en linguistique, et comment ont-elles évolué ?).

À cet effet, si la priorité sera donnée aux études résolument linguistiques portant sur le langage naturel, toutes les langues pourront cependant être prises comme base empirique et d’autres approches que les précitées, nous pensons par exemple aux approches littéraires, sociologiques, psychologiques, philosophiques et anthropologiques, seront également les bienvenues pourvu qu’elles s’intéressent La Perception en langue et en discours (2e éd.) Université d’Opole, 21-23 avril 2016 3

expressément à la perception. En outre, quelle que soit l’approche envisagée, les démarches expérimentales et/ou cliniques seront très appréciées. Théoriques ou appliquées, systématiques ou expérimentales, contextuelles ou indépendantes, synchroniques ou diachroniques, prescriptives, descriptives ou programmatiques, intra ou interdisciplinaires, les propositions de communication ainsi sollicitées s’inscriront donc nécessairement dans au moins l’un des domaines fondamentaux des Sciences du langage.

Propositions de communication

Les notifications d’acceptation seront transmises au plus tard le 15 janvier 2016, et le programme du colloque suivra à partir du 15 février.

Les communications ne devront pas dépasser 20 minutes de temps de parole (questions non comprises) et la langue de présentation sera préférablement le français (même si l’anglais est également possible). Les critères d’approche, de démarche ou d’axe de réflexion sont laissés au libre choix des intervenants, pourvu qu’ils s’inscrivent dans les cadres envisagés ci-dessus ou, au plus large, dans celui des Sciences du langage en général.

Ultérieurement, les contributions écrites retenues par le Comité scientifique du colloque feront l’objet d’une publication dans le courant de l’année académique 2017-2018, normalement comme volume(s) thématique(s) ou varia de revue(s) internationale(s).

3-3-9(2016-05-02) 4th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2016), San Juan, Puerto Rico,

4th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2016)
====================================================================

Website: http://www.iclr.cc/
Submission deadline for title and abstract: 5:00 pm EST, November 12th, 2015
Submission deadline for arXiv paper ID: 5:00 pm EST, November 19th, 2015
Location: Caribe Hilton, San Juan, Puerto Rico, May 2-4, 2016

Overview
--------
It is well understood that the performance of machine learning methods
is heavily dependent on the choice of data representation (or
features) on which they are applied. The rapidly developing field of
representation learning is concerned with questions surrounding how we
can best learn meaningful and useful representations of data. We take
a broad view of the field, and include in it topics such as deep
learning and feature learning, metric learning, kernel learning,
compositional models, non-linear structured prediction, and issues
regarding non-convex optimization.

Despite the importance of representation learning to machine learning
and to application areas such as vision, speech, audio and NLP, there
was no venue for researchers who share a common interest in this
topic. The goal of ICLR has been to help fill this void.

A non-exhaustive list of relevant topics:
 - unsupervised, semisupervised, and supervised representation
   learning
 - metric learning and kernel learning
 - dimensionality expansion
 - sparse modeling
 - hierarchical models
 - optimization for representation learning
 - learning representations of outputs or states
 - implementation issues, parallelization, software platforms,
   hardware
 - applications in vision, audio, speech, natural language processing,
   robotics, neuroscience, or any other field

The program will include keynote presentations from invited speakers,
oral presentations, and posters.

ICLR's Two Tracks
-----------------
As usual, ICLR will feature two tracks: a Conference Track and a
Workshop Track. However, this year, conference and workshop
submissions will be reviewed separately, in two different
periods. This call for paper is thus only for conference
contributions. Workshop submissions will be received a few months
before the conference and be subject to a lighter review. A future
call for papers will be sent with more details on the Workshop Track.

Also, the reviewing period for conference submissions will be
separated into two short rounds (normally 2 reviews in the first
round, 1 review in the second round). The first round will run as
usual. The second round reviews, however, in addition to evaluating
the submissions, will be required to include comments on the content
of the first round reviews. By asking for such comments, we hope to
ensure a minimum of discussion for every paper, and favour
interactions that might either identify factual errors early or reveal
a clearer consensus. Note that some of the submitted conference track
papers that are not accepted to the conference proceedings will be
invited to be presented under the Workshop Track.

ICLR Submission Instructions
----------------------------
By November 12th, authors are asked to enter in openreview.net the
title, abstract and author list for their paper, along with
conflict information.  Then, as soon as possible, authors must
post on arXiv their submission: http://arxiv.org.  Finally, by
November 19th, authors must update their submission in
openreview.net with the arXiv ID of their paper.

Note that there can be up to 3 days of delay between sending a
manuscript on arXiv and receiving your arXiv ID. It is thus important
to post your submission on arXiv early. Note also that you can always
update your submission on arXiv later on, anytime during the review
process. Submissions without an arXiv ID after November 19th will be
automatically removed from openreview.net.

Remember to download the style files and paper template and use within
LaTeX to format your paper. Use of the ICLR 2016 style is mandatory.

When you make your arXiv submission, please be sure to correctly
classify your submission into CoRR categories. Typically, you should
consider the following categories:

  CS.LG: machine learning
  CS.NE: neural networks
  CS.CV: computer vision
  CS.CL: computational linguistics

Virtually all of the ICLR papers should have both CS.LG and CS.NE as
categories and then additional categories depending on the nature of
the problem.

Submission deadline: 11:59 pm PST, November 12th for title and
abstract, 11:59 pm PST, November 19th for arXiv ID.

Notes
-----
Regarding the conference submission's 6-9 page limits, these are
really meant as guidelines and will not be strictly enforced. For
example, figures should not be shrunk to illegible size to fit
within the page limit. However, in order to ensure a reasonable
workload for our reviewers, papers that go beyond the 9 pages
should be formatted to include a 9 page submission, with
supplementary material appended at the end of the manuscript and
clearly marked as an appendix, which will be optionally reviewed.

Paper revisions will be permitted, and in fact are encouraged, in
response to comments from and discussions with the reviewers (see
An Open Reviewing Paradigm below).

An Open Reviewing Paradigm
--------------------------
1.  Submissions to ICLR are posted on arXiv prior to being submitted
    to the conference.
2.  Authors submit their paper to either the ICLR conference track or
    workshop track via the openreview.net ICLR 2016 website.
3.  After the authors have submitted their papers via openreview.net,
    the ICLR program committee designates anonymous reviewers as
    usual.
4.  The submitted reviews are published without the name of the
    reviewer, but with an indication that they are the designated
    reviews.
5.  Anyone can openly (non-anonymously) write and publish comments on
    the paper. Anyone can ask the program chairs for permission to
    become an anonymous designated reviewer (open bidding). The
    program chairs have ultimate control over the publication of each
    anonymous review. Open commenters will have to use their real
    names, linked with their Google Scholar profiles.
6.  Authors can post comments in response to reviews and
    comments. They can revise the paper as many times as they want,
    possibly citing some of the reviews. Reviewers are expected to
    revise their reviews in light of paper revisions.
7.  The review calendar includes a generous amount of time for
    discussion between the authors, anonymous reviewers, and open
    commentators. The goal is to improve the quality of the final
    submissions.
8.  The ICLR program and area chairs will consider all submitted
    papers, comments, and reviews and will decide which papers are to
    be presented in the conference track, which will be invited to be
    presented in the workshop track, and which will not appear at
    ICLR.
9.  Papers that are presented in the workshop track or are not
    accepted will be considered non-archival, and may be submitted
    elsewhere (modified or not), although the ICLR site will maintain
    the reviews, the comments, and the links to the arXiv versions.

3-3-10(2016-05-07) CHI 2016 Workshop on Designing Speech and Multimodal Interactions for Mobile, Wearable, & Pervasive Applications (Final CFP and deadline extension)

CHI 2016 Workshop on Designing Speech and Multimodal Interactions for
Mobile, Wearable, & Pervasive Applications (Final CFP and deadline
extension)

Important Dates:
* January 18th, 2016: Submission of position papers
* January 25th, 2016: Notification of acceptance
* February 10th, 2016: Submission of camera-ready accepted papers
* May 7-8, 2016: Workshop
http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/dsli2016
CHI 2016, San Jose, CA, USA

This workshop aims to develop speech and multimodal interaction as a more
established area of study within HCI, leveraging current engineering
advances in ASR, NLP, TTS, multimodal/gesture recognition, and
brain-computer interfaces. Advances in HCI can reciprocate to the design
of NLP and ASR algorithms that are better informed by the usability
challenges of speech and multimodal interfaces. We also aim to increase
the cohesion between research currently dispersed across multiple areas
(e.g., HCI, wearable design, ASR, NLP, BCI, speech, EMG interaction and
eye-gaze input). Our hope is that by focusing and challenging the research
community on multi-input modalities for wearables, we will energize the
CHI and engineering communities to push the boundaries of what is possible
with wearable, mobile, and pervasive computing, and also make advances in
each of these respective communities.

Through interdisciplinary dialogue, our goal is to create momentum in:
* Formally framing the challenges to the widespread adoption of speech and
natural language interaction,
* Taking concrete steps toward developing a framework of user-centric
design guidelines for speech- and language-based interactive systems,
grounded in good usability practices,
* Establishing directions towards identifying further research
opportunities in designing natural interactions that make use of speech
and natural language, and
* Identifying key challenges and opportunities for enabling and designing
multi-input modalities for a wide range of wearable device classes.

We invite the submission of position papers demonstrating research,
design, practice, or interest in areas related to speech, language, and
multimodal interaction that address one or more of the workshop goals,
with an emphasis, but not limited to, applications such as mobile,
wearable, or pervasive computing.

Position papers should be 4 to 6 pages long, in the ACM SIGCHI extended
abstract format and include a brief statement justifying the fit with the
workshop's topic. Summaries of previous research are welcome if they
contribute to the workshop's multidisciplinary goals (e.g. a speech
processing research in clear need of HCI expertise). Submissions will be
reviewed according to:
* Fit with the workshop topic
* Potential to contribute to the workshop goals
* A demonstrated track of research in the topic of the workshop (HCI or
speech/multimodal processing, with an interest in both areas).

To submit a paper please follow:

LREC 2016 HOT TOPICS

LRs for Actionable Knowledge
Important information to support a range of applications is hidden in Big Data. Automated content analytics is needed for the interpretation of the data and their context, so that it is accurately understood and can be integrated and used in applications. Content analytics makes use of various technologies, like semantic search, keyword suggestions, clustering, classification, etc. What is the role of LRs in such correlation of digital content and context? Can for example relations between LRs and Knowledge Graphs for entity linking, disambiguation, reasoning, etc. support the generation of actionable knowledge in Big Data analytics?
More generally we would like to bring to discussion all issues related to LRs and evaluation means for semantic processing in the Big Data environment.

LRs for Interaction with Devices
There is a growing interest in adapting and improving Natural Language Processing for providing intelligent language interfaces to all kind of devices that are connected to the Internet (of Things), and also to robots, sensors and the like. We encourage investigating how to relate LRs in this communication set-up with data that are in principle of a non-linguistic nature. How to improve multilingual and multimodal generation of information from sensors, robots and in general from structured data in the Internet of Things? How can LRs optimally be designed and used in this (bi-directional) interaction? How to combine language and sensor streams in multilingual and multimodal virtual worlds?
Are there new or past approaches to Human-Machine dialogue offering easily adaptable solutions, so that we need ?only? to upgrade them to the enormously increased quantity of data and number of interconnected devices?

LREC 2016 HIGHLIGHT
Identify, Describe and Share your LRs!
Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences).
To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about ?Sharing LRs? (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility,  when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository.  This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new ?regular? feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data.
As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2016 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers  will be offered at submission time.

PROGRAMME
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral presentations, poster and demo presentations, and panels, in addition to a keynote address by the winner of the Antonio Zampolli Prize.

Workshop Description:

ETHI-CA²?s focus spans ethical aspects around the entire processing pipeline from speech and language as well as multimodal resource collection and annotation to system development and application.

In the recent time of ever-more collection ?in the wild? of individual and personal multimodal and ?sensorial ?Big Data?, crowd-sourced annotation by large groups of individuals with often unknown reliability and high subjectivity, and ?deep? and autonomous learning with limited transparency of what is being learnt, and how applications such as in health or robotics depending on such data may behave, ethics have become more crucial than ever in the field of language and multimodal resources making it a key concern of the LREC community. There is, however, a surprising if not shocking white spot in the landscape of workshops, special session, or journal special issues in this field, which ETHI-CA² aims to fill in.

The goal is thus to connect individuals ranging across LREC?s fields of interest s uch as human-machine and ?robot and computer-mediated human-human interaction and communication, affective, behavioural, and social computing whose work touches on crucial ethical issues (e.g., privacy, tracability, explainability, evaluation, responsibility, etc.). According systems increasingly interact with and exploit data of humans of all ranges (e.g., children, adults, vulnerable populations) including non-verbal and verbal data occurring in a variety of real-life contexts (e.g., at home, the hospital, on the phone, in the car, classroom, or public transportation) and act as assistive and partially instructive technologies, companions, and/or commercial or even decision making systems. Obviously, an immense responsibility lies at the different ends from data recording, labelling, and storage to its processing and usage.

Motivation:

Emerging interactive systems have changed the way we connect with our machines, modifying how we socialize, our reasoning capabilities, and our behavior. These areas inspire critical questions centering on the ethics, the goals, and the deployment of innovative products that can change our lives and society. - Many current systems operate on private user data, including identifiable information, or data that provides insight into an individual?s life routine. The workshop will provide discussions of user consent and the notion of informed data collection. - Cloud-based storage systems have grown in popularity as the scope of user-content and user-generated content has greatly increased in size. The workshop will provide discussions on best practices for data annotation and storage and evolving views on data ownership. - Systems have become increasingly capable of mimicking human behavior through research in affective computing. These systems have pr ovided demonstrated utility, for interactions with vulnerable populations (e.g., the elderly, children with autism). The workshop will provide discussions on considerations for vulnerable populations. - The common mantra for assistive technology is, ?augmenting human care, rather than replacing human care.? It is critical that the community anticipates this shift and understands the implication of machine-in-the-loop diagnostic and assessment strategies.

Topics of Interest:

Topics include, but are not limited to:

?   Ethics in recording of private content

?   Ethics in multimodal, sensorial data collection

?   Ethics in annotation (crowd-sourced) of private data

?   Data storage/sharing/anonymization

?   Transparency in Machine Learning

?   Ethics in Affective, Behavioural, and Social Computing

?   Responsibility in Educational Software and Serious Games

?   Human-machine interaction for vulnerable populations

?   Computer-mediated Human-Human Communication

?   Responsibility in Decision-Support based on Data

?   The role of assistive technology in health care

Summary of the Call:

The ETHI-CA² 2016 workshop is crucially needed first edition in a planned for longer series. The goal of the workshop is to connect individuals ranging across LREC?s fields of interest such as human-machine and ?robot and computer-mediated human-human interaction and communication, affective, behavioural, and social computing whose work touches on crucial ethical issues (e.g., privacy, tracability, explainability, evaluation, responsibility, etc.). These areas inspire critical questions centering on the ethics, the goals, and the deployment of innovative products that can change our lives and consequently, society. It is critical that our notion of ethical principles evolves with the design of technology. As humans put increasing trust in systems, we must understand how best to protect privacy, explain what information the systems record, the implications of these recordings, what a system can learn about a user, what a third party could learn by gaining access to the data, changes in human behavior resulting from the presence of the system, and many other factors. It is important that technologists and ethicists maintain a conversation over the development and deployment lifecycles of the technology. The ambition of this workshop is to collect the main ethics, goals and societal impact questions of our community including experts in sociology, psychology, neuroscience or philosophy. At LREC 2016, the workshop shall encourage a broad range of its community?s researchers to reflect about and exchange on ethical issues inherent in their research, providing an environment in which ethics co-evolve with technology.

3-3-16(2016-06-09) 19th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC 2016), University Sorbonne-Nouvelle - Paris III, France

19th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC 2016)

June 9th and 10th, 2016

Created in 1998, the Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC) of the Doctoral School “Langage et langues” (ED

268, Sorbonne Nouvelle University - Paris 3) offer junior researchers preparing for a master's or a doctorate degree, as

well as post-doctorates, the opportunity to present their work in paper or poster sessions.

Language alterity: strategies of adaptation and appropriation

In a now classic book, The Mirror of Herodotus, François Hartog (1980) proposed an analysis of Herodotus’

discourse developed on Scythians. By describing the 'rhetoric of alterity', through which the Greek historian managed

to 'inscribe the world which is told into the world where it is told', he distinguished several ways to make the foreigner

comprehensible in his own language: inversion, comparison and wonder.

By continuing this reflection, we would like to invite participants to explore the strategies through which one

makes place for alterity within one’s language and one’s discourse. Alterity, that is, the nature of what is perceived as

different, foreign, and sometimes even strange, is a necessary focus in the construction of identities (Ferréol & Jucquois,

2003). How can I negotiate this difference, how can I make it familiar or at least comprehensible in my language?

Several strategies can operate in parallel or in opposite ways.

The strategies of appropriation and adaptation are both opposite and complementary. Repetition, interpretation,

citation, transcription, reformulation, translation and foreign language learning are included.

From an epistemological point of view, alterity doesn’t always have the same place in linguistic theories

(Dufaye & Gournay, 2010). From dialogal speech to bakhtinian dialogism, from interdiscourse to the concept of costatement,

alterity takes different forms. We can think of the researches inscribed in the lineage of Michel Pêcheux

(Maldidier, 1990) on discourse analysis, on discursive constraints in which the subject products his discourse, more

broadly on the notion of 'interdiscourse', which shows the discourse through the collective. Works on pragmatics of

discourse (Ducrot, 1980) also conceive the later as built by several people.

The theme of language alterity, from a discourse perspective, also invites us to consider research on alterity

inherent to the subject. Starting from research on reported speech, the problem of cleaved subject and its syntactic

marks can be raised, especially if one thinks about the notion of 'constitutive heterogeneity' elaborated by Jacqueline

Authier-Revuz (1982), which is fully integrated into the proposed themes.

However, the concept of alterity can be expanded to other fields in language sciences. How can a translation be

faithful to the original text when the expressions or the imagination of the target language differ? How can a recognition

system work when a non-standard variant is used? How do learners build their linguistic identities when they are in

contact with the other? These questions are just a sample of those the researchers in language sciences may have when

facing the problem of alterity.

Alterity is also a transversal subject which is related to the way that the speaker encounters the thought, the

language, the discourse and the culture of the other (Bornand & Leguy, 2013). The confrontation with a distant

language, whether the distance is cultural, geographical or chronological, imposes some choices which can lead to the

loss or creation of components (Chauvier, 2011). How can we observe the impact of alterity on a language, individual,

or community?

All of these theoretical approaches allow the researchers in language sciences to gather around a common

problematic. The participants can consider the language in all its media (oral, written, sign language).

Remarques sur l’évaluation des propositions

Le Congrès Mondial de Linguistique Française est une grande manifestation internationale sur et pour la linguistique française qui se caractérise par une procédure exigeante en matière d’évaluation des communications présentées au congrès :

 les propositions de communication ne sont pas des résumés mais de véritables articles (10 pages minimum, 15 pages maximum) comprenant une bibliographie ;

la gestion des propositions, de leur répartition entre comités thématiques et au sein des comités thématiques s'effectue via une plateforme de gestion de congrès scientifique - http://www.sciencesconf.org/ - et d'EDP - http://www.edpsciences.org avec publication des actes sur www.linguistiquefrancaise.org);

l'évaluation des propositions est faite par des experts au moyen d'une grille unifiée et après une anonymisation des soumissions ;

 la production d'un CD-ROM d'actes avec index, moteur de recherche et d'un livret des résumés est assurée par le logiciel dédié, ce qui assure l'homogénéité et la qualité du résultat ;

 les communications acceptées font l'objet d'une publication en version intégrale dans les actes ;

 les actes sont distribués à l'ouverture du congrès.

Présentation scientifique

Intérêt scientifique

Le cinquième Congrès Mondial de Linguistique Française est organisé par l’Institut de Linguistique Française (ILF), Fédération de Recherche du CNRS (FR 2393) qui est sous la tutelle de cet organisme et du Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale, de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche. L’ILF regroupe vingt laboratoires de recherche, qui sont les co-organisateurs de ce congrès en partenariat avec de nombreuses associations nationales et internationales. Une telle organisation, conjointement prise en charge par vingt unités de recherche, est exceptionnelle par son ampleur et la volonté de partenariat scientifique qu’elle révèle.

Le premier Congrès Mondial a été organisé à Paris par l’ILF en 2008, le deuxième à La Nouvelle-Orléans, le troisième à Lyon en 2012 et le quatrième à Berlin en 2014. Chacun de ces quatre congrès a attiré plus de 300 participants et les résultats ont fait l’objet d’une publication en ligne immédiate accompagnée par un volume de résumés et un CD-ROM d’actes.

Ce congrès est organisé sans aucun privilège d'école ou d'orientation et sans exclusive théorique ou conceptuelle. Chaque domaine ou sous-domaine, chaque type d'objet, chaque type de questionnement et chaque problématique portant sur le français peut y trouver sa place.

Le CMLF est organisé en 15 sessions, lesquelles soulignent le fait que la linguistique française n’est pas limitée à tel ou tel domaine érigé en modèle pour les autres sous-disciplines du champ. Quatorze thématiques ont été retenues, qui permettent de balayer la plus grande partie du champ scientifique : (1) Discours, Pragmatique et Interaction, (2) Francophonie, (3) Histoire du français : perspectives diachronique et synchronique, (4) Histoire, Épistémologie, Réflexivité, (5) Lexique(s), (6) Linguistique de l’écrit, Linguistique du texte, Sémiotique, Stylistique, (7) Linguistique et Didactique (français langue première, français langue seconde), (8) Morphologie, (9) Phonétique, Phonologie et Interfaces, (10) Psycholinguistique et Acquisition, (11) Ressources et Outils pour l’analyse linguistique, (12) Sémantique, (13) Sociolinguistique, Dialectologie et Écologie des langues, (14) Syntaxe. A ces quatorze thématiques a été ajoutée une quinzième session « pluri-thématique », laissant ouverte la possibilité de travailler dans plusieurs domaines, voire en marge des territoires disciplinaires traditionnels.

Chaque thématique est pilotée par un Président et coordonnée par un Vice-président (membre du Comité directeur de l’ILF, ou bien choisi par ce comité). Les comités scientifiques comportent une proportion équilibrée de spécialistes français et étrangers. Un soin particulier a été accordé à la sélection des comités afin de s’assurer qu’ils présenteraient les plus grandes garanties scientifiques pour le succès du congrès. On trouve donc dans chaque comité des linguistes connu(e)s mondialement pour leur contribution au domaine. Le rôle de ces comités est de sélectionner les propositions de communications.

Les soumissions se feront sous la forme de brefs articles de 10 à 15 pages.

Toutes les communications (y compris les conférences plénières) seront publiées sous la forme d'un article de 10 à 15 pages dans les actes du congrès (sous forme de CD-ROM accompagnant un livret des titres et des résumés des communications) et maintenues sous forme électronique sur le site du CMLF. L'archive électronique restera accessible après le congrès.

Comité scientifique

Le Comité scientifique est composé des comités des 14 thématiques du Congrès et des responsables de la session pluri-thématique : 5

- Discours, Pragmatique et Interaction

Présidente : Sabine Diao-Klaeger (Universität Koblenz-Landau, Allemagne), Vice-présidente/coordonnatrice : Christine Béal (Université Paul-Valéry – Montpellier 3)

Autres membres du comité : Chantal Claudel (Université Paris 8), Gaétane Dostie (Université de Sherbrooke, Canada), Laurent Fillietaz (Université de Genève, Suisse), Marie-Noëlle Guillot (University of East Anglia, Royaume-Uni), Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni (Université Lumière - Lyon 2), Sophie Moirand (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3), Kerry Mullan (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australie), Juan Manuel Lopez Muñoz (Universidad de Cádiz, Espagne), Christian Plantin (Université Lumière - Lyon 2), Agnès Steuckardt (Université Paul-Valéry - Montpellier 3), Britta Thörle (Universität Siegen, Allemagne), Frédéric Torterat (Université Nice Sophia Antipolis), Patricia Von Münchow (Université Paris Descartes), Véronique Traverso (Université Lumière - Lyon 2)

Présentation

L’analyse du discours, dans son acception contemporaine, se définit essentiellement par la mise en relation des manifestations concrètes du langage avec ses conditions de production, et implique donc une prise en considération du locuteur, du référent et de la situation de communication. Vu sous cet angle, le discours, qu’il soit écrit ou oral, se caractérise par la présence de la subjectivité de l’énonciateur (linguistique de l’énonciation) et également par la manière dont le locuteur met en scène de façon plus ou moins implicite d’autres voix que la sienne à propos du même objet (dialogisme). La pragmatique possède un champ d’application très large, couvrant tous les aspects pertinents pour l’interprétation des énoncés, liés non seulement au système linguistique mais aussi au contexte de production. Son domaine s’est encore enrichi avec le développement de nouvelles pratiques de constitution de corpus de données orales et vidéo, qui permettent d’intégrer dans les analyses une grande diversité de phénomènes (prosodie, multimodalité notamment). Dans le cas des interactions verbales, c’est la co-présence (en face à face, au téléphone, sur skype) de deux ou plusieurs personnes qui exerce une influence déterminante sur la forme et le contenu que va prendre l’énoncé. Pour certains linguistes, elles constituent simplement une sous-catégorie du discours, qui possède des caractéristiques propres (notamment le contexte interactif), mais qui ne peut être décrite comme un objet entièrement autonome (certains parlent d’ailleurs de discours-en-interaction). Parallèlement, le courant de l’analyse conversationnelle développe une méthodologie et des objectifs distincts de l’analyse du discours (approche strictement empirique et inductive, focalisation sur les usages situés, le contexte séquentiel et les conduites multimodales). Cette section, ouverte à toute forme d’analyse du discours et de l’interaction, privilégiera néanmoins les approches qui sont clairement ancrées sur des données empiriques et qui interrogent les imbrications théoriques des champs de l’analyse du discours, de la pragmatique et de l’interaction.

- Francophonie

Présidente : Chantal Lyche (Université d’Oslo, Norvège), Vice-président/ coordonnateur : André Thibault (Université Paris-Sorbonne)

Autres membres du comité : Fouzia Benzakour (Université de Rabat et Université de Sherbrooke), Peter Blumenthal (Universität zu Köln, Allemagne), Jürgen Erfurt (Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, Allemagne), Carole de Féral (Université Nice Sophia Antipolis), Michel Francard (Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgique), Andres Kristol (Université de Neuchâtel, Suisse), Gudrun Ledegen (Université de Rennes 2), Salah Mejri (Université Paris-XIII)

Présentation

L'étude du français en francophonie occupe de plus en plus de place dans la discussion scientifique, de pair avec l'extension de sa diffusion dans le monde. Cet objet polymorphe peut être appréhendé de plusieurs façons : les points de vue internes, qu'il s'agisse des aspects phonétiques/phonologiques, morpho-syntaxiques et lexico-sémantiques, gagnent à être croisés avec les points de vue externes (facteurs de variation diachronique, diastratique, pragmatique et stylistique; contacts de langue, 6

alternance et mélange codiques; étiolement, accommodation et loyauté linguistiques; étymologie, histoire des mots et lexicographie historico-différentielle ; élaboration de normes nationales; sémiotique littéraire). La session invite à soumettre des articles se rattachant à toutes ces approches, dans le respect de tous les cadres théoriques.

- Histoire du français : perspectives diachronique et synchronique

Présidente : Lene Schøsler (Université de Copenhague, Danemark), Vice-présidente/coordonnatrice : Sophie Prévost (CNRS/ENS/Université Sorbonne Nouvelle)

Autres membres du comité : Wendy Ayres-Bennett (Cambridge University, Royaume Uni) , Eva Buchi (CNRS/Université de Lorraine), Anne Carlier (Université Lille 3), Bernard Combettes (Université de Lorraine), Walter De Mulder (Université d’Anvers, Belgique), Monique Dufresne (Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada), Céline Guillot-Barbance (ENS de Lyon), Christiane Marchello-Nizia (ENS de Lyon), Nicolas Mazziotta (Universität Stuttgart, Allemagne), Maria Selig (Universität Regensburg, Allemagne), Richard Waltereit (Newcastle University, Royaume Uni).

Présentation

Les études proprement diachroniques, portant sur l'évolution de phénomènes à travers les siècles ou sur des diachronies courtes (y compris de la langue des 20-21èmes siècles) sont encouragées, quel que soit le domaine dont elle relèvent (phonétique, morphologie, syntaxe, sémantique, ou pragmatique), qu’il s’agisse d’écrit ou d’oral, et que les analyses soient descriptives ou plus spécifiquement théoriques.

Seront également accueillis des travaux visant à approfondir ou discuter des théories sur le changement.

Enfin, des études synchroniques consacrées à une période ancienne précise, antérieure au 20ème siècle, trouveront également leur place dans cette section.

- Histoire, Épistémologie, Réflexivité

Président : Bernard Colombat (Université Paris-Diderot), Vice-président/coordonnateur : Franck Neveu (Université Paris-Sorbonne)

Autres membres du comité : Danielle Candel (CNRS/Université Paris-Diderot), Marie-Christine Lala, (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3), Jacqueline Léon (Université Paris-Diderot), Sophie Piron (Université du Québec, Montréal), Pierre-Yves Testenoire (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3), Anne-Gaëlle Toutain (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3)

Présentation

L’histoire et l’épistémologie de la science linguistique ont connu au cours des dernières décennies un développement considérable, témoignant en cela de la nécessité cruciale pour les linguistes de s’interroger sur les objets, les orientations, le langage, les frontières et l’historicité de leur domaine de recherche. La session « Histoire, Épistémologie, Réflexivité » du Congrès se donne pour objectif d’établir un état des lieux de cet ensemble de problématiques. Pour ce faire, elle souhaite susciter des propositions de communication orientées, notamment, vers les questions suivantes :

- la grammatisation et l’histoire du français ;

- la linguistique française comme linguistique du français ou comme théorisation française des langues; les modélisations et les pratiques de recherche en linguistique française ; la notion de

« tradition » en linguistique; la « tradition grammaticale française » ; la notion de « linguistique nationale » ;

- l’histoire des théories des langues et du langage comme composante de la réflexivité linguistique ; la notion d’« école linguistique » ;

- la terminologie et la terminographie linguistiques ;

- l’histoire du métalangage français ; l’historicité de la linguistique française ; les fondements et les objectifs de l’historiographie en linguistique française ; la constitution et l’emploi des bases de données textuelles en histoire de la linguistique ; l’édition de textes grammaticaux anciens ;

7

 

l’usage des corpus en terminographie linguistique ; l’exploitation scientifique des premiers outils linguistiques français ;

- l’interface science du langage/philosophie du langage ; le tournant philosophique de la linguistique ; la philosophie de la linguistique, etc.

- Lexique(s)

Président : Jean-François Sablayrolles (Université Paris 13), Vice-président/coordonnateur : Francis Grossmann (Université Stendhal - Grenoble 3)

Autres membres du comité : Xavier Blanco (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Espagne), François Gaudin (Université de Rouen et LDI), Alicja Kacprzak (Université de Lodz, Pologne), Marie-Claude L’Homme (Université de Montréal, Canada), Aïno Niklas-Salminen (Université Aix-Marseille), Alain Polguère (Université de Lorraine et IUF), Agnès Tutin (Université Stendhal - Grenoble 3), Vorger Camille (Université de Lausanne, Suisse), Esme Winter-Froemel (Universität Trier, Allemagne)

Présentation

Le lexique entretient des relations avec (quasiment) toutes les branches de la langue (à laquelle serait-il complètement étranger ?) et, par voie de conséquence, la lexicologie est donc en relation avec (quasiment) toutes les branches des sciences du langage (à laquelle serait-elle complètement étrangère ?). Les évolutions des approches théoriques dans les sciences du langage (morphologie constructionnelle, études combinatoires, linguistique cognitive, approche computationnelle, linguistique de corpus, lexicométrie, textométrie, analyse du discours… se répercutent donc sur les études lexicales. À côté de ces études synchroniques, diverses, on observe aussi un retour à l’histoire et à l’évolution des mots et de leurs sens. De nouvelles réflexions se sont développées sur la nature des unités lexicales et des éléments qui les forment, sur leur traitement polysémique ou homonymique, sur les processus de figement et de défigement, sur la néologie et sur les évolutions du lexique de la langue, etc. et tout ceci a des répercussions pratiques sur la confection de dictionnaires (traditionnels ou tournés vers le TAL), l’enseignement des langues, la traduction…Cette session souhaite fournir des regards croisés entre lexicologie, terminologie, lexicographie, métalexicographie, constitution de lexiques électroniques pour le traitement automatique de la langue, analyse des textes fondée sur le lexique…La session Lexique(s) invite les contributeurs à soumettre des propositions portant sur tous les aspects de l’étude du lexique français : description et/ ou modélisation soit dans une perspective historico-comparative, soit dans une perspective synchronique.

- Linguistique de l’écrit, Linguistique du texte, Sémiotique, Stylistique

Président : Thomas Broden (Université de Purdue, États-Unis), Vice-présidente/coordonnatrice : Irène Fenoglio (ITEM, CNRS-ENS)

Autres membres du Comité d’évaluation : Driss Ablali (Université de Lorraine) Céline Beaudet (Université de Sherbrooke, Canada), Christophe Leblay (Université de Turku, Finlande), Julie Lefebvre (Université de Lorraine), Aya Ono (Université de Keio, Japon), Gilles Philippe (Université de Lausanne, Suisse)

Présentation

Cette section invite à s’interroger sur les propriétés linguistiques de l’écrit. Plusieurs angles d’approche peuvent être proposés : l’écriture en production (genèse, cognition, textualisation), l’écrit constitué (formes énonciatives, faits de discours, constitution des genres), le texte (cohérence, composantes, argumentation) mais aussi la sémiotique de l’écrit et la stylistique, dans sa dimension théorique et comparative. Vu l’ampleur de la thématique, on privilégiera les propositions dont les enjeux ne se limitent pas à la seule analyse du corpus d’appui mais manifestent une préoccupation épistémologique et méthodologique claire et innovante. Le Congrès mondial de linguistique française visant tout particulièrement à faire un état des lieux de la recherche et à dégager des perspectives nouvelles, on veillera donc, dans tous les cas, à privilégier la problématique sur le corpus. 8

- Linguistique et Didactique (français langue première, français langue seconde)

Présidente : Carole Fleuret (Université d'Ottawa, Canada), Vice-présidente/coordonnatrice : Béatrice Fracchiolla (Université de Lorraine)

Autres membres du comité : Nathalie Auger ((Université Paul-Valéry – Montpellier 3)), Lucile Cadet (Université Paris 8), Pierre Escudé (Université de Bordeaux), Cécile Gois (Université François Rabelais de Tours), Martine Kervran (Université de Brest), Eva Lemaire (University of Alberta, Canada), Jean-François de Pietro (Institut de recherche et de documentation pédagogique de Neuchâtel, Suisse)

Présentation

Les domaines de recherche couverts par la didactique du français (langue première ou seconde) sont en lien étroit – mais non exclusifs – avec différents champs des sciences du langage, comme la psycholinguistique et l'acquisition, la linguistique textuelle, l'analyse du discours et l'enseignement, la sociolinguistique, la morphologie et l'enseignement de l’orthographe, de le la lecture et de l'écriture, la syntaxe et l'enseignement de la grammaire, la sémantique, le lexique, la phraséologie et l'enseignement du vocabulaire, etc. Les liens nombreux, divers et complexes qui peuvent lier ces différents champs mériteront d’être investis lors de cette nouvelle édition du CMLF, dans toute leur variété et avec toute la précision requise. De telles exigences sont d’autant plus fortes que sont remarquables la diversité des situations d’enseignement de la langue française et l’étendue des recherches entreprises dans ce cadre thématique ; sans parler des enjeux sociaux de réussite scolaire qui sont associés à la maîtrise du français.

Les contributions soumises devront circonscrire, dans le cadre d’une problématique linguistique et didactique définie, les fondements notionnels et méthodologiques sur lesquels elles se développent, ainsi que les conditions des observations, des applications et des résultats qu’elles auront permis de mettre à jour.

- Morphologie

Présidente : Angela RALLI (Université de Patras, Grèce), Vice-présidente/ coordonnatrice : Georgette Dal (Université de Lille)

Autres membres du comité : Bernard Fradin (Université Paris-Diderot), Nabil Hathout (Université Jean Jaurès), Marianne Kilani-Schoch (Université de Lausanne, Suisse), Judith Meinschaefer (Freie Universität Berlin, Allemagne), Fiammetta Namer (Université de Lorraine), Angela Ralli (Université de Patras, Grèce), Franz Rainer (Institut für romanische Sprachen Wirtschaftsuniversität, Autriche)

Présentation

La thématique « Morphologie » se conçoit comme un lieu d’échanges, sans exclusive théorique. Elle accueille toute soumission originale portant sur la morphologie constructionnelle ou la morphologie flexionnelle du français, le cas échéant dans une perspective contrastive. La thématique est ouverte aux propositions théoriques ou davantage applicatives, dès lors qu’elles prennent appui sur des données du français. Elles peuvent également porter sur les interfaces, intra- ou extrasystème, se situer dans une perspective psycholinguistique ou dans celle du traitement automatique des langues.

Les principaux critères de sélection des soumissions sont les suivants :

- nouveauté des faits linguistiques étudiés ou originalité de l’analyse proposée,

- assise empirique des analyses et couverture des données,

- clarté de l’exposition et solidité de l’argumentation,

- connaissance de la littérature scientifique du champ, nationale et internationale.

- Phonétique, Phonologie et Interfaces

Président : Zsuzsanna Fagyal (Université d’Illinois Urbana-Champaign, États-Unis), Vice-président/coordonnateur : Rudolph Sock (Université de Strasbourg)

Autres membres du comité : Lorraine Baqué (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Espagne), Marie-Hélène Côté (Université Laval, Québec), Cécile Fougeron (CNRS/ Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3), Randall Gess (Université Carleton, Canada), Bernard Harmegnies (Université de Mons, Belgique), Yvan Rose (Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada) 9

Présentation

Les grands phénomènes phonologiques du français, domaine longtemps privilégié des modélisations théoriques, ont reçu ces dernières années un éclairage fructueux grâce aux apports de disciplines connexes. La session phonologie a pour objectif de témoigner des bienfaits de cette synergie et de montrer comment la diversité des approches a permis de réelles avancées dans la compréhension de nombreux problèmes et dans la réflexion phonologique en général. Elle est ouverte à la pluralité des thématiques, et s’intéresse aux regards croisés que la phonologie (phonologie théorique, phonologie de laboratoire), la phonétique, et les disciplines qui les côtoient peuvent apporter aux grandes questions de la phonologie du français et de la théorie phonologique. La session phonologie/phonétique invite à des soumissions d’articles originaux sur tous les aspects de la phonologie/phonétique du français. Cela inclut notamment :

- la phonologie segmentale

- la phonologie autosegmentale

- la phonétique et la phonologie de laboratoire

- la prosodie

- l’interface phonétique/phonologie

- l’interface phonologie/morphologie

- l’interface phonologie/syntaxe

- l’interface phonologie/pragmatique

- l’interface phonologie/sémantique

- l’interface phonologie/psycholinguistique

- l’interface phonologie/sociolinguistique

- les phonologies en contact

- phonétique, phonologie et études cliniques

- Psycholinguistique et Acquisition

Présidente : Michèle Kail (CNRS/Université Paris 8), Vice- président/coordonnateur : Christophe Parisse (INSERM, Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense)

Autres membres du comité : Sandra Benazzo (Université Paris 8), Séverine Casalis (Université de Lille), Lucile Chanquoy (Université Nice Sophia Antipolis), Michèle Guidetti (Université Toulouse II – Le Mirail), Heather Hilton (Université Lumière – Lyon 2), Sophie Kern (CNRS/Université Lumière – Lyon 2), Virginie Laval (Université de Poitiers), Christelle Maillart (Université de Liège, Belgique), Armanda Martins da Costa (Université de Lisbonne, Portugual), Colette Noyau (Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense), Anne Salazar Orvig (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3), Hélène Delage (Université de Genève, Suisse), Marie-Anne Schelstraete (Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgique), Annie Tremblay (Université du Kansas, Etats-Unis), Jürgen Weissenborn (Université Humboldt, Allemagne)

Présentation La psycholinguistique étudie les processus mentaux et les structures cognitives intervenant dans la perception, la compréhension, la production et l’acquisition du langage oral et du langage écrit. Elle concerne un large champ de recherches interdisciplinaires. Les études présentées dans la thématique « Psycholinguistique, Acquisition » concerneront des locuteurs adultes et enfants, normaux ou présentant une pathologie du langage. Elles seront centrées sur la langue française notamment lorsque celle-ci est susceptible de mettre en évidence des aspects particuliers du traitement ou du développement, par comparaison ou non avec d’autres langues. Ces études peuvent concerner des locuteurs monolingues francophones ou des locuteurs qui comptent le français dans le répertoire des langues qu’ils utilisent.

- Ressources et Outils pour l’analyse linguistique

Présidente : Christiane Fellbaum (Université de Princeton, Etats-Unis), Vice-président /coordonnateur: Jean-Luc Minel (MoDyCo, Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense et CNRS)

Autres membres du comité : Delphine Battistelli (Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense), Olivier Baude (Université d’Orléans), Farah Benamara (Université Paul Sabatier -Toulouse), Maria Jose Bocorny-Fillato (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sud, Brésil), Anne Condamines (CNRS et Université Toulouse), Serge Heiden (ENS de Lyon), Guy Lapalme (Université de Montréal, Canada), Eric Laporte (Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée), 10

Dominique Longrée (Université de Liège et Université Saint-Louis, Belgique), Yvette Yannick Mathieu (CNRS et Université Paris-Diderot), Emmanuel Morin (Université de Nantes), Jean-Marie Pierrel (Université de Lorraine), Dina Wonsever (Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay)

Présentation La mise à disposition de grands corpus électroniques oraux ou écrits ainsi que celle de ressources annotées à des niveaux divers (morphologique, syntaxique, sémantique et discursif) ouvre la voie à des travaux qui interrogent les approches classiques des Sciences du Langage. Le développement d’outils de traitement informatique (tels que les outils de collectes de données langagières, les outils d'aide à la transcription, les outils d’annotation automatique ou manuelle, les outils d'analyse fondés sur des traitements symboliques et/ou statistiques, les systèmes d’apprentissage, etc.) transforme les méthodes d’accès aux sources et affecte les démarches d'étude linguistique. La question de la mutualisation et de la capitalisation des ressources devient maintenant un enjeu majeur pour l’ensemble de la communauté, soulevant des problématiques d’interopérabilité, de normalisation et des questions d’ordre juridique, éthique et déontologique. Différentes initiatives internationales contribuent ainsi à développer un Web de données linguistiques (LLOD) et l’on observe une tendance des instances à accompagner ce mouvement : divers projets de constitution de « grands » corpus et de groupes de travail d'annotation, mise en place de laboratoires et d’équipements d’excellence dédiés, tels que l’Equipex ORTOLANG, les consortium de la TGIR HumaNum, l’ European Research Infrastructure Consortium DARIAH, etc. Avec une démarche différente des colloques internationaux spécialisés dans le Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), cette session du CMLF 2016 voudrait ouvrir un espace d’échanges scientifiques entre différentes approches linguistiques, sans exclusive de cadres théoriques, de méthodologies ou de pratiques axées sur la théorie et/ou l’empirisme. Cette session sera l’occasion de mettre en relief tout aussi bien des recherches émergentes que des travaux qui consolident les approches existantes. La session « Ressources et outils pour l’analyse linguistique» invite à soumettre des propositions d’articles originaux dont l’objet est de construire, développer, exploiter des ressources ou des outils dans tous les domaines de la linguistique française, aussi bien à l’oral qu’à l’écrit : morphologie, syntaxe, sémantique, discursif, phonétique, phonologie.

Présentation

La sociolinguistique est à concevoir comme la prise en compte, dans la linguistique, de la variation inhérente aux langues et à leurs emplois. Longtemps fondée sur une pratique philologique des textes et sur une analyse des auteurs qui sous-estimaient l’hétérogénéité des productions, la linguistique, confrontée à la description de langues à tradition orale, a dû établir des données finalisées en constituant des corpus représentatifs du savoir et des pratiques des locuteurs. Les enquêtes ont mis en évidence la grande diversité et variabilité des formes phonétiques, morphosyntaxiques ou lexicales. Elles ont rendu sensibles les différences qu’introduisent les genres du discours et l’imbrication des faits de langue et de culture. L’étude des dialectes et des créoles, des langues mixtes et des pidgins, et plus généralement la notation des langues à tradition orale dans des contextes où les relations d’échange étaient inégales ont transformé les représentations traditionnelles et les outils de description. Les réalités plurilingues des sociétés contemporaines comportent des nouveaux enjeux sociolinguistiques. La sociolinguistique, dans son acception la plus large, participe à une compréhension des phénomènes qui, dans le temps, relèvent de la diachronie, dans l’espace, de la dialectologie, dans l’espace social de la sociologie du langage, dans les emplois de la pragmatique, de la théorie de la communication, voire de l’ethnométhodologie. Cependant, au lieu d’une conception qui raisonne en termes d’écarts les réalisations qui ne coïncident pas avec une image de la langue fixée par une écriture et des principes normatifs, elle conçoit la diversité interne (sociologie) et externe (écologie des langues) comme étant au principe même de leur analyse, précédant les réductions opérées pour en sélectionner une forme stabilisée à des fins de transcription ou d’étude. Dès lors que l’oral a prévalu sur l’écrit, que les langues vivantes ont supplanté les langues mortes, que les effets omniprésents du contact des langues ont ruiné le mythe de leur pureté, les circonstances de leur usage ont été mises en avant et, en même temps, des outils d’analyse efficaces ont été développés. La sociolinguistique est devenue le lieu d’un débat avec des disciplines qui, dans leur domaine, se trouvaient confrontées aux mêmes phénomènes. En linguistique, le français, par l’importance de sa diffusion internationale et les flux migratoires dans son aire d’expansion, par son horizon de rétrospection, son observation attentive des effets du changement linguistique et la grande diversité de ses variations, par sa créolisation et sa présence sur les nouveaux canaux de communication, le français, donc, représente un terrain d’observation privilégié, un champ d’expérimentation pour les théories contemporaines. La tradition sociolinguistique 12

du français l’a illustré qui ne demande qu’à poursuivre son déploiement dans la session « Sociolinguistique, dialectologie et écologie des langues ».

Présentation

La syntaxe du français est un domaine fondamental dans la connaissance de la langue et sa description. Elle participe à la diversification des méthodes de recherche et au renouveau des approches théoriques qui recouvre les divers domaines linguistiques. Elle s’enrichit de la confrontation à la diversité des structures syntaxiques qui sont étudiées en typologie et syntaxe générale. Grâce à l’élaboration actuelle de corpus variés, aussi bien oraux qu’écrits, elle peut affiner ses modèles conceptuels.

La section « syntaxe » a pour objectif de faire état des dernières avancées sur les plans descriptif et théorique. Elle accueillera des thèmes variés et des approches diversifiées tout en privilégiant des sujets originaux et des démarches novatrices qui contribuent à une meilleure compréhension de la syntaxe du français ou qui constituent des avancées dans la modélisation théorique. Les personnes intéressées sont invitées à soumettre des communications portant sur tous les phénomènes syntaxiques (syntaxe des catégories, syntaxe (inter-)propositionnelle, ordre des mots, variation synt

** Calendrier **

Articles RÉCITAL (12 pages plus 2 pages maximum pour les références)
Date limite de soumission : 29 mars 2016 (23:59 heure Paris)
Notification aux auteurs : 10 mai 2016
Date limite de soumission des versions définitives : 23 mai 2016

** Présentation générale **

Les laboratoires franciliens travaillant dans les domaines de la
parole et du traitement automatique des langues écrites, parlées et
signées organisent la cinquième édition conjointe de la conférence
JEP-TALN-RECITAL qui aura lieu

du 4 au 8 juillet 2016

dans les locaux de l'INalCO (13ème arrondissement de Paris).

Pour la cinquième fois, après Nancy en 2002, Fès en 2004, Avignon en
2008 et Grenoble en 2012, l'AFCP (Association Francophone pour la
Communication Parlée) et l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement
Automatique des Langues) organisent conjointement leur principale
conférence afin de réunir en un seul lieu les deux communautés de
l'analyse et du traitement des langues écrites, parlées et signées.

Cette édition regroupera donc :
- les 31e Journées d'Etudes sur la Parole (JEP),
- la 23e conférence sur le Traitement Automatique des Langues
  Naturelles (TALN),
- la 18e Rencontre des Étudiants Chercheurs en Informatique pour le
  Traitement Automatique des Langues (RÉCITAL).

RECITAL 2016, la conférence annuelle des jeunes chercheurs associée à
TALN, offre aux jeunes chercheurs en Traitement Automatique des
Langues (TAL) l'occasion de présenter leurs travaux et de comparer
leurs approches. Elle est réservée aux étudiants (master et doctorat)
et aux jeunes chercheurs ayant obtenu leur doctorat depuis moins d'un
an.

Fort du succès des années précédentes, nous encourageons la soumission
de travaux même préliminaires, de projets de thèse, et de travaux des
premiers mois de recherche (état de l'art, premières pistes,
etc.). L'objectif premier de RECITAL est de soutenir les travaux des
jeunes chercheurs en TAL, de leur apporter de la visibilité et de
faciliter leur intégration dans notre communauté. À ce titre, nous
visons :

- des relectures pédagogiques : les auteurs doivent pouvoir comprendre
  les erreurs qu'ils ont pu commettre afin de pouvoir les corriger et
  améliorer la qualité de leur travail ;

- des relectures positives : les retours aux jeunes chercheurs sont
  faits dans une perspective constructive, afin d'encourager/guider les
  travaux, à la fois pour reconnaître leur potentiel ou pour prévenir
  de possibles difficultés à venir ;

- l'échange direct : les relectures seront communiquées signées, donc
  non-anonymes, aux auteurs. Libre à eux (ou mieux, aux relecteurs)
  d'aller informellement discuter ensemble lors de la conférence.

Cet appel offre l'opportunité, pour de jeunes chercheurs, de faire
connaître leurs idées et travaux en cours et d'obtenir des avis de la
communauté scientifique, autant lors du processus de relecture que, pour
les articles acceptés, lors de leur présentation pendant la conférence.

Le prix du meilleur article RECITAL sera décerné lors de la cérémonie
de clôture.

La langue officielle de la conférence est le français. Les
communications en anglais sont acceptées pour les participants non
francophones.

** Thématiques *

Les communications pourront porter sur tous les thèmes habituels du
TAL, incluant, de façon non limitative :

- Phonétique, phonologie, morphologie, étiquetage morphosyntaxique
- Syntaxe, grammaires, analyse syntaxique, chunking
- Sémantique, Pragmatique, Discours,
- Sémantique lexicale et distributionnelle,
- Aspects linguistiques et psycholinguistiques du TAL,
- Ressources pour le TAL,
- Méthodes d'évaluation pour le TAL,
- Applications du TAL (recherche et extraction d'information,
  question-réponse, génération et résumé, dialogue, analyse
  d'opinions, etc.),
- TAL et interface multi-modale (parole, vision, etc.),
- TAL et multilinguisme,
- TAL pour le Web et les réseaux sociaux,
- TAL et langues peu dotées,
- TAL et langue des signes,
- TAL et éthique.

** Types de communications **

Les auteurs sont invités à proposer deux types de communications :
- des articles présentant des travaux de recherche originaux,
- des prises de position présentant un point de vue sur l'état des
  recherches en TAL.

Les soumissions en anglais sont acceptées dès lors qu'un co-?auteur
n'est pas francophone. Les articles sélectionnés seront publiés dans
les actes de la conférence.

Les travaux devront présenter des contributions non publiées dans
d?autres conférences. Ainsi, les traductions d?articles déjà publiés
ne seront pas acceptées.

** Critères de sélection **

Les auteurs doivent être des étudiant(e)s ou bien des jeunes docteur(e)s
ayant soutenu leur thèse depuis moins d'un an. Les publications avec des
chercheurs confirmés (ce qui inclut les directeurs de thèses) doivent
être soumises à TALN et non à RECITAL. La double soumission à RECITAL et
TALN n?est pas autorisée.

Les auteurs sont invités à soumettre des travaux de recherche originaux,
n'ayant pas fait l'objet de publications antérieures. Les soumissions
seront examinées par au moins deux spécialistes du domaine. Seront
considérées en particulier :
- la correction du contenu scientifique et technique
- la situation des travaux dans le contexte de la recherche
  internationale
- l'organisation et la clarté de la présentation
- l'adéquation aux thèmes de la conférence

Les articles sélectionnés seront publiés dans les actes de la
conférence. Suivant l'avis du comité de programme, les présentations se
feront soit sous forme orale soit sous forme de poster.

** Modalités de soumission **

Les soumissions doivent être conformes aux lignes directrices de style
officielles qui sont contenues dans les fichiers de style et doivent
être en format PDF.
Les relectures sont signées pour permettre un échange supplémentaire plus
approfondi mais le processus de relecture reste en aveugle, ce qui signifie
que les contributions ne doivent inclure ni les noms ni les affiliations
des auteurs. En outre, les auto-références et les noms de projets qui
révèlent l?identité des auteurs, comme par exemple, « Nous avons déjà
démontré (Martin, 1991) » doivent être évitées. Les auteurs devront ainsi
privilégier les citations telles que « Martin a précédemment démontré
(Martin, 1991) ». Les remerciements seront omis dans la première
soumission, et pourront être ajoutés dans la version définitive de
l'article en cas d'acceptation.

3-3-24(2016-08-11) ACL 2016 Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of Computational Language Learning (CogACLL), Berlin, Germany
==================================================
              CogACLL 2016 - First Call For Papers
==================================================
ACL 2016 Workshop on
Cognitive Aspects of Computational Language Learning (CogACLL)

 

               August 11, 2016
Berlin, Germany

 

 

Deadline for Long and Short Paper Submissions: May 8, 2016 (11:59pm GMT -12)
Deadline for System Demonstrations: May 29, 2016  (11:59pm GMT -12)   

 

This workshop is endorsed by SIGNLL, the Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning of theAssociation for Computational Linguistics.
---------------------------------------------------------------

 

The human ability to acquire and process language has long attracted interest and generated much debate due to the apparent ease with which such a complex and dynamic system is learnt and used on the face of ambiguity, noise and uncertainty. This subject raises many questions ranging from the nature vs. nurture debate of how much needs to be innate and how much needs to be learned for acquisition to be successful, to the mechanisms involved in this process (general vs specific) and their representations in the human brain. There are also developmental issues related to the different stages consistently found during acquisition (e.g. one word vs. two words) and possible organizations of this knowledge. These have been discussed in the context of first and second language acquisition and bilingualism, with crosslinguistic studies shedding light on the influence of the language and the environment.

 

The past decades have seen a massive expansion in the application of statistical and machine learning methods to natural language processing (NLP). This work has yielded impressive results in numerous speech and language processing tasks, including e.g. speech recognition, morphological analysis, parsing, lexical acquisition, semantic interpretation, and dialogue management. The good results have generally been viewed as engineering achievements. Recently researchers have begun to investigate the relevance of computational learning methods for research on human language acquisition and change.

 

The use of computational modeling is a relatively recent trend boosted by advances in machine learning techniques, and the availability of resources like corpora of child and child-directed sentences, and data from psycholinguistic tasks by normal and pathological groups. Many of the existing computational models attempt to study language tasks under cognitively plausible criteria (such as memory and processing limitations that humans face), and to explain the developmental stages observed in the acquisition and evolution of the language abilities. In doing so, computational modeling provides insight into the plausible mechanisms involved in human language processes, and inspires the development of better language models and techniques. These investigations are very important since if computational techniques can be used to improve our understanding of human language acquisition and change, these will not only benefit cognitive sciences in general but will reflect back to NLP and place us in a better position to develop useful language models.

 

Success in this type of research requires close collaboration between the NLP, linguistics, psychology and cognitive science communities. The workshop is targeted at anyone interested in the relevance of computational techniques for understanding first, second and bilingual language acquisition and language change in normal and clinical conditions. Long and short papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

 

*Computational learning theory and analysis of language learning and organization
*Computational models of first, second and bilingual language acquisition
*Computational models of language changes in clinical conditions
*Computational models and analysis of factors that influence language acquisition and use in different age groups and cultures
*Computational models of various aspects of language and their interaction effect in acquisition, processing and change
*Computational models of the evolution of language
*Data resources and tools for investigating computational models of human language processes
*Empirical and theoretical comparisons of the learning environment and its impact on language processes
*Cognitively oriented Bayesian models of language processes
*Computational methods for acquiring various linguistic information (related to e.g. speech, morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, and discourse) and their relevance to research on human language acquisition
*Investigations and comparisons of supervised, unsupervised and weakly-supervised methods for learning (e.g. machine learning, statistical, symbolic, biologically-inspired, active learning, various hybrid models) from a cognitive perspective

 

---------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS

 

We invite three different submission modalities:

 

* Regular long papers (8 content pages + 1 page for references):
 Long papers should report on original, solid and finished research
 including new experimental results, resources and/or techniques.

 

* Regular short papers (4 content pages + 1 page for references):
 Short papers should report on small experiments, focused contributions,
 ongoing research, negative results and/or philosophical discussion.

 

* System demonstration (2 pages): System demonstration papers should
 describe and document the demonstrated system or resources. We
 encourage the demonstration of both early research prototypes and
 mature systems, that will be presented in a separate demo session.

 

All submissions must be in PDF format and must follow the ACL 2016
formatting requirements.

 

We strongly advise the use of the provided Word or LaTeX template
files. For long and short papers, the reported research should
be substantially original. The papers will be presented orally or as
posters. The decision as to which paper will be presented orally
and which as poster will be made by the program committee based
on the nature rather than on the quality of the work.

 

Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information
should be included in the papers; self-reference should be
avoided as well. Papers that do not conform to these requirements
will be rejected without review. Accepted papers will appear in the
workshop proceedings, where no distinction will be made between
papers presented orally or as posters.

 

Submission and reviewing will be electronic, managed by the START system:

 

  

 

Submissions must be uploaded onto the START system by the submission deadline:

 

    May 8, 2016 (11:59pm GMT -12 hours)

 

Please choose the appropriate submission type from the START
submission page, according to the category of your paper.

3-3-29(2016-09-29) Call for papers: 12th PAC conference, Laboratoire Parole et Langage, Aix-en-Provence, France

 

Call for papers: 12th PAC conference

(Phonologie de l’Anglais Contemporain / Phonology of Contemporary English)

 

 

PAC 2016: English Melodies

Laboratoire Parole et Langage, Aix-en-Provence, France

Sept 29-Oct 1 2016

 

We are pleased to announce the 2016 edition of the annual PAC conference, English Melodies’, due to take place from Thursday September 29 to Saturday October 1 2016,  hosted by the Laboratoire Parole et Langage and Aix-Marseille University in Aix-en-Provence. We shall welcome as invited guest speaker Professor Francis Nolan, from the University of Cambridge.

 

The PAC Project, ‘La Phonologie de l’Anglais Contemporain: usages, variétés et structure; The Phonology of Contemporary English: usage, varieties and structure’ is a project coordinated by Anne Prezwozny, Philip Carr, Jacques Durand and Sophie Herment. Among other things it aims at:

ü     giving a better picture of spoken English in its unity and diversity (geographical, social and stylistic);

ü     testing phonological and phonetic models from a synchronic and diachronic point of view, making room for the systematic study of variation,

ü     favouring communication between specialists in speech and in phonological theory,

ü     providing data and analyses which will help improve the teaching of English as a foreign language.

 

Several sessions will be organised, following the development of a variety of thematic research groups with dedicated interests within the PAC program:

  • PAC-Research with a workshop on tools and annotation: Brigitte Bigi and Daniel Hirst will present the latest functions of SPPAS, a tool producing automatic phonetic annotations from a recorded speech sound and its transcription, including Momel and Intsint which are now implemented.
  • PAC-Prosody
  • ICE-PAC (interphonologies of contemporary English)
  • LVTI (Langue Ville Travail Identité), the study of English in urban contexts and its link with the concept of identity.

 

Papers from a wide range of theoretical perspectives addressing the above issues and related topics are welcome. Other things being equal, we will give priority to papers focusing on the relationship between corpus studies and the phonological/phonetic modelling of spoken English. A special emphasis will be given this year to English melodies, in the broadest sense, from intonation to segmental primes. We will welcome proposals on the use of automatic tools for the study of very large data sets as well, in connection with the workshop.

 

The deadline for sending a title with a one-page abstract (excluding references) is February 29, 2016. Please send your proposal in 2 pdf files, one with name and affiliation, the other anonymous to:

gabor.turcsan@univ-amu.fr  & sophie.herment@univ-amu.fr

 

Notification of acceptance will be sent by the end of March.
