Workshop on the Processing of Prosody across Languages and Varieties (ProsLang)
Victoria University of Wellington (VUW), New Zealand
29-30 November 2018
 
Call for Papers
We invite submissions for the Workshop on the Processing of Prosody across Languages and Varieties (ProsLang), to be held at the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, Victoria University of Wellington (VUW), New Zealand, 29-30 November 2018.
 
The Workshop is coordinated with the 17th Speech Science & Technology Conference,
University of New South Wales, Sydney, 4-7 December 2018.
 
Aim
As an integral part of spoken language, prosody has been shown to play an important role in many speech production and perception processes. However, our knowledge of the role of prosody in speech processing draws on a relatively narrow range of (mostly closely related) languages. There is an urgent need for more psycholinguistic research looking at commonalities and differences in the use of prosodic cues in speech processing across different languages, and also different varieties of major languages. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in this area. We are particularly interested in research on: (i) the role of prosody in semantic interpretation, including information structure; and (ii) prosody as an organisational structure for speech production and perception, including multimodal perspectives.
 
Invited Speakers
Anne Cutler, MARCS, Western Sydney University
Bettina Braun, Universität Konstanz
Jennifer Cole, Northwestern University
Janet Fletcher, University of Melbourne
Nicole Gotzner, Leibniz-ZAS Berlin
 
Topics
Topics include, but are not limited to, cross-linguistic and cross-varietal commonalities and differences in:
- the role of prosody in signalling information structure, particularly in the activation and resolution of contrast and contrastive alternatives
- the integration of prosody and morphosyntactic cues in speech comprehension, e.g. as cues to information structure
- the role of prosody in the management and interpretation of discourse
- prosodic structure as an organisational frame in speech production or perception
- links between prosodic structure and multimodal speech cues such as gesture
 
Submissions       
We invite submissions of one-page abstracts following the guidelines on the Workshop website:
https://proslang.wordpress.com/about/ 
  
*** Abstract deadline extended: 23 April 2018 ***
Notification of acceptance: 30 April 2018
Workshop: 29-30 November 2018
 
Organisers
Sasha Calhoun, Paul Warren, Olcay Türk, Mengzhu Yan, VUW; Janet Fletcher, University of Melbourne

Fake News and Other AI Challenges for the
News Media in the 21st Century.

Workshop by 'Language Intelligence @ Work' Nov 29-30, 2018.

Location: weXelerate, Praterstrasse 1, 1020, Vienna, Austria

Website:  https://www.liatwork.com/

The News Media are confronted with major challenges and opportunities arising from game-changing technological developments that took place over the last decade.

This event will showcase how AI-powered technologies can help news organisations safeguard the truthfulness and trustworthiness of their sources, stay in control of the news gathering and delivery process and empower their newsrooms, their journalists and, ultimately, their readership.

LANGUAGE INTELLIGENCE AND THE FAKE NEWS CHALLENGE

The news production and security industries are undergoing a growing threat from fake news across every media, as are all organisations where accurate, time-bound news on persons, entities and events in specific locations are critical to their business and security.

This threat is two-fold. It is partly due to the ubiquity of digital news sites and an avid readership whose built-in biases are being fed by advertising that can in turn fund the fake news producers. And partly to the existence of digital tools that make it easier to produce such fake content automatically on a massive scale over the internet and especially social media.

The majority of content concerned by the fake news syndrome is textual in nature, whether addressed to readers or listeners. Fake images associated with information sources also play a large role in purveying false information. But text is massively variegated in form (due to the range of words and linguistic structures that can be used), and also comes in different channels (speech/text) and languages. This adds further complexity to the task of fake news identification.

TYPES OF FAKE NEWS

• The misuse of text, images and videos to illustrate facts they have nothing to do with;
• The creation and use of false accounts to slander someone?s reputation;
• The creation and feeding of false websites that visually resemble real sites;
• The creation and spreading of false documents (false evidence) ;
• The use of bots to boost the viral nature of messages.

Is there a reliable automatable decision procedure for identifying the truth or falsity of news items, and can it be integrated into a standard technology stack?

The following automated Language Intelligence (LI) processes are central to the identification of fake news:

• Text & Voice Search, e.g. Searching online for news and facts about news entities; Searching other journalists? stories and sources to understand news stories; Searching voice streams for all of the above (voice search); Identifying entities & actions in large text corpora; Fact-checking.
• Sentiment Analysis: Evaluating sentiment in social media streams around news topics; evaluating spoken content reliability from voice quality & psychographics.
• Voice Transcription: Transcribing spoken stories from recordings, podcasts or radio into written form for fake news evaluation.
• Captioning: When publishing spoken news stories online, either to be audience-inclusive or for foreign language understanding.
• Translation: Translating content from a foreign language to be used in a news story (gisting) or Translating news content to evaluate reliability of the material.
• Text Generation: Create readable texts automatically on the basis of a numerical data source such as financial data, sports results, etc.; creating texts that describe contents of videos or images.

The aim of this workshop is to present various use cases that address the fake news problem using Language Intelligence, and open up broader discussion into how LI can extend its applicability within the news and intelligence industries in their effort to track down fake information.

Journée d'étude

Méthodes pour la recherche autour de la communication multimodale 'artéfactée'

Mardi 11 décembre 2018

Laboratoire Parole et Langage, Aix-en-Provence

https://christellecombe.wixsite.com/comuart

Regards et pratiques à la croisée de disciplines et du monde industriel.?

L?usage de technologies de l?information et de la communication évolutives et interopérables transforment les pratiques de la vie quotidienne que nous soyons au travail, en formation, en mobilité, en activités récréatives ou en soins?Ces usages peuvent être imposés mais aussi spontanés, sous condition matérielle d?accès à ces technologies mais aussi d?un « savoir s?y prendre » n?allant pas nécessairement de soi.

Pour différentes disciplines, le développement et l?usage de plateformes interactives multimodales tout comme les expérimentations de robot de téléprésence, ou d?environnement virtuel multi-utilisateurs actionnant leurs avatars ou communiquant avec des agents virtuels représentent autant d?opportunités de recherches. Mais au-delà d' objets de recherche en émergence en sciences du langage, informatique,  sociologie ou didactique autour de ce qui peut être appelé la communication multimodale « artefactée », c?est la question de l?évolution et adaptation des méthodes qui est posée. Cette question est d?autant plus vive dans une visée de recherche interdisciplinaire et constitue le point d'orgue de cette journée d'étude.

Gratuite et ouverte à toutes et tous. Inscription obligatoire.

FIRST JOINT CALL for Workshop Proposals: ACL/COLING/EMNLP/NAACL 2018

Proposal Submission Deadline: October 22, 2017

Notification of Acceptance: November 17, 2017

The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), the International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING), the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), and the Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT) invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with ACL 2018, COLING 2018, EMNLP 2018, or NAACL HLT 2018. We solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:

ACL 2018 (the 56th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics) will be held in Melbourne, Australia, July 15 - July 20, 2018, with workshops to take place on July 19-20: http://acl2018.org/

COLING 2018 (the 27th International Conference on Computational Linguistics) will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, August 20 - August 25, 2018, with workshops to be held on August 20-21, 2018: http://coling2018.org/

NAACL HLT 2018 (the 16th Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies) will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, June 1 - June 6, 2018 with workshops to be held on June 5-6, 2018: http://naacl2018.org/

EMNLP 2018 (the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing 2018) will be held later in 2018 (after the other three conferences). Exact details on dates and venue for EMNLP workshops will be announced later.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents. Note that submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers within one week of notification (see Timelines below).

The proposals should contain:

- A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content.

- The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests, areas of expertise, and experience in organising workshops and related events.

- A list of Programme Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. It is highly desirable for proposals to have at least 75% of the Programme Committee reviewers confirmed at the time of the submission. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to: (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 3 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews.

- A list of invited speakers, if applicable, with an indication of which ones have already agreed and which are indicative, and sources of funding for the speakers.

- An estimate of the number of attendees.

- A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop, and estimate of the number of participants.

- A description of special requirements and technical needs.

- The preferred venue(s) (ACL/COLING/NAACL/EMNLP), if any, and description of any constraints (e.g. if the workshop is compatible with only one of these events, logistically, thematically or otherwise)

- If the workshop has been held before, a note specifying where previous workshops were held, how many submissions the workshop received, how many papers were accepted (also specify if they were not regular papers, e.g. shared task system description papers), and how many attendees the workshop attracted.

Note that the only financial support available to workshops is a single free workshop registration for an invited speaker; all other costs must be borne independently by the workshop organizers.

In addition, you will need to specify the following information when you submit via the START System (not in the PDF proposal):

- A very brief advertisement or tagline for the workshop, up to 140 characters, that highlights any key information you wish prospective attendees to know, and which would be suitable to be put onto a web-based survey (see below).

- A URL for the workshop website which will be shown in the web-based survey.

- A list of organizers’ names which will be shown in the web-based survey.

The proposals should be submitted no later than October 22, 2018, 11:59 PM Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11). Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management system at

https://www.softconf.com/i/acl-workshops2018

The workshop proposals will be evaluated according to their originality and impact, as well as the quality of the organizing team and Programme Committee. In addition, to estimate the attendance of the different workshops, a new voting mechanism will be implemented, where attendees of ACL-affiliated events from the past 3-5 years will be able to vote on which workshops they would like to attend in 2018. (A representative prototype of the survey is shown here, but is subject to change: https://goo.gl/3cuZON.) The overall diversity of the workshops will also be taken into account to ensure the conference program is varied and balanced. The workshop co-chairs will work together to assign workshops to the four conferences, taking into account the location preferences and technical constraints provided by the workshop proposers.

Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera ready workshop proceedings, and organizing the meeting days. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the unified proceedings and author indexes.  Workshop organizers cannot accept submissions for publication that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timelines for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested timelines for each of the conferences are given below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule unless absolutely necessary, and with explicit agreement from the relevant Workshop Chairs.

The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's general policies on workshops, the financial policy for workshops, and the financial policy for SIG workshops at:

The Second (2019) IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Information Processing and Retrieval (MIPR'19)

http://www.ieee-mipr.org
San Jose, CA, USA
March 28-30, 2019

New forms of multimedia data (such as text, numbers, tags, networking, signals,
geo-tagged information, graphs/relationships, 3D/VR/AR and sensor data, etc.)
has emerged in many applications in addition to traditional multimedia data
(image, video, audio). Multimedia has become the biggest of big data as
the foundation of today's data-driven discoveries. Almost all disciplines of
science and engineering, as well as social sciences, involve multimedia data
in some forms, such as recording experiments, driverless cars, unmanned aerial
vehicles, smart communities, biomedical instruments, security surveillance.
Some recent events demonstrate the power of real-time broadcast of unfolding
events on social networks. Multimedia data is not just big in volume, but also
multi-modal and mostly unstructured. Storing, indexing, searching, integrating,
and recognizing from the vast amounts of data create unprecedented challenges.
Even though significant progress has been made processing multimedia data,
today's solutions are inadequate in handling data from millions of sources
simultaneously.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Information
Processing and Retrieval (IEEE-MIPR) aims to provide a forum for original research
contributions and practical system design, implementation, and applications
of multimedia information processing and retrieval for single modality or
multiple modalities. The target audiences will be university researchers,
scientists, industry practitioners, software engineers, and graduate students
who need to become acquainted with technologies for big data analytics, machine
intelligence, information fusion in multimedia information processing and retrieval.
A collection of keynotes, open panels, and workshops will be held, together
with paper/poster sessions.

The conference will accept regular papers (6 pages), short papers (4 pages),
and demo papers (2 pages). Authors are encouraged to compare their approaches,
qualitatively or quantitatively, with existing work and explain the strength
and weakness of the new approaches. Selected submissions will be invited to submit
to journal special issues.

The conference includes (but not limited) the following topics of multimedia
data processing and retrieval.

Call for papers: 14^th PAC conference

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

PAC AIX 2019

Phonetic and phonological variation in contemporary English:

Xperience-Xperimentation

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

June 4-5 2019

Guest Speakers : Dominic Watt (U. York)

&

Emmanuel Ferragne (U. Paris Diderot)

We are pleased to announce the 2019 edition of the annual PAC conference, ‘Phonetic and phonological variation in contemporary English: Xperience / Xperimentation’, due to take place from Tuesday June 4 to Wednesday June 5 2019 and, hosted by the Laboratoire Parole et Langage and Aix-Marseille University in Aix-en-Provence. We shall welcome as invited guest speakers Dominic Watt, from the University of York and Emmanuel Ferragne from  The Paris Diderot University of Paris Diderot. Both have worked on varieties of English and are currently working on forensic phonetics, among other topics.

The PAC programme (http://www.pacprogramme.net) gathers researchers interested in the study of variation in contemporary spoken English, adhering to a common protocol for data collection and annotation. The PAC conferences have been organized annually since 2000 and have been willing to welcome researchers studying spoken English worldwide and from a wide variety of backgrounds.

The 2019 edition of the conference will focus on « experience/experimentation », in French « l’expérience » (which is polysemic). People working in the framework of the PAC programme are used to following a field approach. The data collected within the framework of the PAC programme may easily be exploited by experimentalists as well. The idea is to open the conference to researchers working in a more experimental setting. We would like to make the link between the 2 two domains and our guest speakers will show that the two approaches may be complementary in the study of language. Papers concerned by either field work or experimental methods or combining the two domains are welcome. A wide range of issues can be explored, matching the research axes of the PAC programme, such as,  and among others, studies of English in urban contexts, analyses of prosodic variation, of L2 English or papers concerned with tools and annotation strategies..

The audience will consist of colleagues and students working on spoken English corpora and the presentations are all in English.

The deadline for sending a title with a one-page anonymous abstract (excluding references) is January 7, 2019.

Please visit the conference web site, where you can find a template for abstracts and upload your abstract submission: https://pacaix2019.sciencesconf.org/ (you will need to create a sciencesconf account if you don’t already have one).

Notification of acceptance will be sent by mid February 2019.

For any questions, you can contact us at the following address: pacaix2019@sciencesconf.org

Proposals may address emerging topics or long-standing problems. Areas of interest in 2019 include but are not limited to: * SPEECH TECHNOLOGY: Any aspect of information extraction from speech signals; techniques that generalize in spite of very limited amounts of training data and/or which are robust to input signal variations ; techniques for processing of speech in harsh environments, etc.
 * NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING: Knowledge discovery from text; new approaches to traditional problems such as syntactic/semantic/pragmatic analysis, machine translation, cross - language information retrieval, summarization, etc.; domain adaptation; integrated language and social analysis; etc.
 * MULTIMODAL HLT: Joint models of text or speech with sensory data; grounded language learning; applications such as visual question - a nswering, video summarization, sign language technology, multimedia retrieval, analysis of printed or handwritten text. * DIALOG AND LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING: U n d e r s t a n din g h u m a n - to - h u m a n o r h u m a n - to - computer conversation; dialog manag ement; naturalness of dialog (e.g. sentiment analysis).
 * LANGUAGE AND HEALTHCARE: information extraction from electronic health records; speech and language technology in health monitoring; healthcare delivery in hospitals or the home, public health, etc.
 These workshops are a continuation of the Johns Hopkins University CLSP summer workshop series, and will be hosted by various partner universities on a rotating basis. The research topics selected for investigation by teams in past workshops should serve as good examples for prospective proposers: http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/workshops/. An independent panel of experts will screen all received proposals for suitability. Results of this screening will be communicated by November 9th, 2018. Authors passing this initial screening will be invited to an interactive peer-review meeting in Baltimore on December 7-9th, 2018. Proposals will be revised at this meeting to address any outstanding concerns or new ideas. Two or three research topics and the teams to tackle them will be selected at this meeting for the 2019 workshop. We attempt to bring the best researchers to the workshop to collaboratively pursue research on the selected topics. Each topic brings together a diverse team of researchers and students. Authors of successful proposals typically lead these teams. Other senior participants come from academia, industry and government. Graduate student participants familiar with the field are selected in accordance with their demonstrated performance. Undergraduate participants, selected through a national search, are rising star seniors: new to the field and showing outstanding academic promise. If you are interested in participating in the 2019 Summer Workshop we ask that you submit a one-page research proposal for consideration, detailing the problem to be addressed. If a topic in your area of interest
is chosen as one of the topics to be pursued next summer, we expect you to be available to participate in the six - week workshop . We are not asking for an ironclad commitment at this juncture, just a good faith commitment that if a project in your area of interest is chosen, you will actively pursue it. We in turn will make a good faith effort to accommodate any personal/logistical needs to make your six-week participation possible.
 
Proposals must be submitted to jsalt2019-planning@jhu.edu by 23:59PM EDT on Monday, 11/05/2018.
