3-1-4ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS

 

Now's the time of year that seminar programmes get fixed up.. please direct the attention of whoever organises your seminars to the ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS scheme (introduction below). There is now a good choice of speakers:  see

 

https://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/distinguished-lecturers/online-seminars

ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS

A seminar programme is an important part of the life of a research lab, especially for its research students, but it's difficult for scientists to travel to give talks at the moment. However,  presentations may be given on line and, paradoxically, it is thus possible for labs to engage international speakers who they wouldn't normally be able to afford.

ISCA has set up a pool of speakers prepared to give on-line talks. In this way we can enhance the experience of students working in our field, often in difficult conditions. To find details of the speakers,

  • visit isca-speech.org
  • Click Distinguished Lecturers in the left panel
  • Online Seminars then appears beneath Distinguished Lecturers: click that.

Speakers may pre-record their talks if they wish, but they don't have to. It is up to the host lab to contact speakers and make the arrangements. Talks can be state-of-the-art, or tutorials.

If you make use of this scheme and arrange a seminar, please send brief details (lab, speaker, date) to education@isca-speech.org

If you wish to join the scheme as a speaker, we need is a title, a short abstract, a 1 paragraph biopic and contact details. Please send them to education@isca-speech.org


PS. The online seminar scheme  is now up and running, with 7 speakers so far:

 

Jean-Luc Schwartz, Roger Moore, Martin Cooke, Sakriani Sakti, Thomas Hueber, John Hansen and Karen Livescu.

3-2-4(2022-09-07) CfP Special sessions of SIGDIAL, Edinburgh, UK
The Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGDIAL) organizers welcome the submission of
special session proposals. We welcome special session proposals on any topic of interest to the discourse and
dialogue communities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to Role of Discourse in NLP Applications,
Explainable AI, Evaluation, Annotation, End‐to‐end systems, Vision and Language, and Human-Robot Interaction.
 
A SIGDIAL special session is the length of a regular session at the conference, and may be organized as a
poster session, a panel session, a poster session with panel discussion, or an oral presentation session.
Special sessions may, at the discretion of the SIGDIAL organizers, be held as parallel sessions. The papers
submitted to special sessions are handled by the special session organizers, but for the submitted papers
to be in the SIGDIAL proceedings, they have to undergo the same review process as regular papers.
The reviewers for the special session papers will be taken from the SIGDIAL program committee itself,
taking into account the suggestions of the session organizers, and the program chairs will make acceptance
decisions. In other words, special session organizers decide what appears in the session, while the program
chairs decide what appears in the proceedings and the rest of the conference program.
 
Submissions
Those wishing to organize a special session should prepare a two-page proposal containing: a summary of
the topic of the special session; a list of organizers and sponsors; a list of people who may submit and
participate in the session; and a requested format (poster/panel/oral session).
 
These proposals should be sent to conference@sigdial.org by the special session proposal deadline.
Special session proposals will be reviewed jointly by the general chair and program co‐chairs.
 
Links
Those wishing to propose a special session may want to look at some of the sessions organized at recent
SIGDIAL meetings.

3-3-4(2022-04-30) Bids to host the 2nd TAI conference, to be held in 2023.

After the successful 1st International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI 2021) <www.tai2020.org> held at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg last December, the TAI Standing Committee is calling for bids to host the 2nd TAI conference, to be held in 2023.

Being a merger of the TAL (Tonal Aspects of Languages) and TIE (Tone and Intonation in Europe) conference series (2004–2018), the TAI series has inherited features of the two earlier ones. The conference accepts 2-page abstracts, has no parallel sessions and will typically feature some 2 to 6 invited speakers. With a focus on linguistic instead of technological aspects of prosody, it is affiliated both to ISCA and to IPA, and participants may choose to submit their 5-page full papers after the conference to the TAI Proceedings for publication in the ISCA archives. TAI conferences may feature workshops at the same venue outside the conference program, before, after or during the conference. Since all of the TIE conferences were held in Europe, the aim for the new TAI series is to alternate between Europe and other locations, so that TAI 2023 is preferably held outside Europe.

The task of the TAI Standing Committee is to promote the continuation of the series, select the venue of the next conference, evaluate conferences and any proposals for format changes. The current Standing Committee is mostly an amalgam of former TAL/TIE and TAI organizers who have been involved in the creation of the merger. Its members are Amalia Arvaniti, Yiya Chen, Christian DiCanio, Wentao Gu (Chair), Carlos Gussenhoven, Hansjörg Mixdorff, Oliver Niebuhr, Tomas Riad, Allison Wetterlin, Yi Xu, and Margaret Zellers. In the near future, the Standing Committee will generally include two organizers of each of the last four TAI conferences (before the next venue is decided) or the last three TAI conferences plus the upcoming one (after the next venue is decided).

Bids should minimally provide the following information:

- Host institution
- General chair (and any co-organizers)
- Proposed conference dates
- Venue or general location of the venue
- Transportation and accommodation
- Estimated full and student registration fees
- Financial plan (including existing or potential funding sources)
- Plan for a virtual/hybrid mode in case of emergency, with indication of registration fees

Any further information that may support the bid is welcome. This may include a conference insurance fee, perhaps borne by the host institution or the professional company that helps organize the conference.

Bids should be sent to Wentao Gu <wtgu@gavo.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp> by 30 April 2022, who is also available for more information.

3-3-5(2022-05-20) 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) 2022 , Sonderborg, DK

2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) 2022 

Theme: Articulation and Prosody: Between Interface and Integration 

Date: 20-21 May 2022, Sønderborg, Denmark 

 

https://event.sdu.dk/sefos 

 

The links between articulation and prosody are a subject of growing interest. The growing interest is, among other things, driven by increasingly powerful measurement, analysis and recording techniques, by the discovery of syntagmatic and paradigmatic structures in prosody and the simultaneous undermining of strictly linear-segmental models in articulation, as well as by the rapid rise of speech technology and the associated increasing relevance of emotions, speaking styles, attitudes, social hierarchies, social-role marking, etc. But, how far have we really come in understanding the links between articulation and prosody?  

 

As a satellite meeting to the 11th Speech Prosody, the 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) will be a forum to discuss these questions. Continuing the successful concept of the first SEFOS, SEFOS II shall again be a strongly interdisciplinary event. We therefore cordially invite not only all members of the speech-science (and speech-prosody) communities to take part in SEFOS II, but also interested members from related fields such as general linguistics, medicine, audiology, psychology, rhetoric, pedagogy, language/speech technology, and engineering sciences.

IEEE Signal Processing Cup (SP Cup) 2022
Challenge at ICASSP 2022
'Synthetic Speech Attribution'


The IEEE Signal Processing Society is proud to announce the ninth edition of the Signal Processing Cup:

a forensic challenge related to synthetic speech attribution.
 

Goal

The possibility of manipulating digital multimedia objects is within everyone's reach. For instance, fake

synthetic speech audio tracks can be generated through a wide variety of available methods. These

range from simple cut-and-paste techniques, to complex neural networks. The goal of the challenge

is to design and develop a system for synthetic speech attribution. This means, given an audio recording

representing a synthetically generated speech track, to detect which method among a list of candidate ones

has been used to synthesize the speech.
 

Eligibility

Any team composed of one faculty member, at most one graduate student and 3 to 10 undergraduate

students is welcomed to join the open competition. At least 3 students must be IEEE Student Members.
 

Dataset

A dataset containing audio speech tracks generated with different speech synthesis techniques will be

distributed to the participants.


Prize

The three teams with highest performance in the open competition will be selected as finalists and will be

invited to participate in the final competition at ICASSP 2022. The champion team will receive a grand prize

of $5,000. The first and the second runner-up will receive a prize of $2,500 and $1,500, respectively,

in addition to travel grants and complimentary conference registrations.
 

Important Dates 

January 7, 2022 Competition webpage, Piazza forum and info
January 15, 2022 Dataset available
March 15, 2022 Team registration
March 31, 2022 Team final submission
April 7, 2022 Finalists announced
May 22-27, 2022 Final competition at ICASSP 2022

3-3-8(2022-06-09) Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs en sciences du langage, didactique des langues et disciplines transversales, Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, France

Chères collègues,

Nous avons étendu la date-butoir des propositions de communication pour les prochaines Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs en sciences du langage, didactique des langues et disciplines transversales au 6 mars 2022. N’hésitez pas à nous envoyer vos propositions.

Bien cordialement,

Cameron Morin pour le comité d’organisation RJC 2022

25èmes Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC 2022)

Étudier le langage à l’ère numérique
Sciences du langage, didactique des langues et disciplines transversales

9 et 10 juin 2022

Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 (Maison de la Recherche) 4, rue des Irlandais

75005 PARIS


Créées en 1998, les Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs de l'ED 622 « Sciences du langage » (Université de Paris et Université Sorbonne Nouvelle) offrent la possibilité aux jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses inscrit·es en Doctorat ou en Master Recherche de présenter leurs travaux sous forme de communication orale ou de poster. Chaque année, une sélection de contributions font l’objet d’une publication référencée dans les Actes Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs.

Le thème de cette année s'articule autour du numérique. En tant que ressource et espace nouveaux, le numérique a profondément bouleversé non seulement les objets, mais aussi les pratiques des chercheur·es dans différents domaines des sciences du langage et des disciplines voisines.

Le développement du numérique permet la diffusion de la recherche et des pratiques collaboratives, mais soulève de nouveaux questionnements d’ordre méthodologique et éthique. Ces nouveaux enjeux sont encore plus prégnants dans des contextes politiques et sanitaires inédits.

Trois axes de réflexions sont envisagés pour aborder cette vaste problématique qu’est le numérique dans les sciences du langage à l’époque contemporaine :

 

1)      Comment les ressources numériques renouvellent-elles les méthodes, les pratiques, et les paradigmes théoriques des chercheur·ses ?

Les outils numériques et leur évolution semblent profondément changer la pratique même d’étudier le langage. On peut penser aux méthodes générées ou améliorées par le numérique, par exemple l’accès à des logiciels puissants de traitement de données et à des échantillons de plus en plus importants. De ce point de vue, le numérique se présente comme un espace de recherche inédit où le·la chercheur·se peut désormais utiliser et analyser des données nouvelles, recruter des participants impliqués à distance, ou effectuer son terrain d’une manière qui repousse les limites traditionnelles de sa discipline. Enfin, ce changement des pratiques a des conséquences majeures sur les théories du langage et sur leur conceptualisation : on pense notamment à un « tournant quantitatif » évoqué par Kortmann (2021), selon qui nous avons ouvert une nouvelle époque de théorisation linguistique grâce à une approche empiriste et centrée sur l’usage qui n’était pas au cœur du paradigme génératif des cinquante dernières années. Les chercheur·es sont ainsi invité·es à discuter de la façon dont les ressources numériques renouvellent les aspects théoriques et pratiques de leur discipline.

 

 

2)      Dans quelle mesure les limites du numérique impactent-elles les pratiques des chercheur·ses ?

Si le numérique est devenu un allié certain de la recherche, il engendre de nouvelles contraintes auxquelles les chercheur·ses doivent faire face. En effet, l’appropriation et l’usage du numérique nécessitent aujourd’hui de prendre en considération des questions juridiques et éthiques (en particulier lors de la collecte, du traitement et de la conservation des données), et de répondre à des réglementations précises (Dolbeau-Blandin et al., 2016 ; Nevejans, 2021). Ces réglementations ont encouragé la mise en place de nouveaux standards et de nouvelles normes (DOI, FAIR, PGD, etc.) auxquels les chercheur·es doivent désormais se conformer pour assurer une diffusion et une réutilisation adéquate des données (Ginouvès et Gras, 2018). Au-delà des contraintes légales et éthiques, le développement des outils numériques soulève la question de leur égalité d’accès (technique, financière, etc.) et de leur facilité de prise en main par les chercheur·ses (Cocco et al., 2018). Or, les conditions de collecte ou d’analyse de données ne permettent pas toujours un accès équitable à ces ressources en tout temps et en tout lieu (connexion internet instable ou inexistante, nombre de licences limité, peu de ressources pour se former, frais d’abonnement, etc.). En ce sens, nous invitons les chercheur·ses à partager leurs expériences, en discutant de la manière dont ces limites ont pu impacter leurs choix méthodologiques.

 

3) Dans quelle mesure les espaces numériques remettent-ils en jeu les notions d’oralité, de scripturalité et de multimodalité ?

L’apparition des supports numériques semble contribuer à la disparition des frontières traditionnelles entre le langage oral et le langage écrit. De nouvelles opportunités de recherche se matérialisent alors pour aborder ces nouvelles formes d’expressivité langagière émergeant à travers l’analyse de nouveaux éléments discursifs (cf. emoji, ponctuation, GIF, etc.) (McCulloch, 2020), et l’apparition de nouveaux enjeux de communication multimodale (cf. traduction/sous-titrage automatique, messages audio/vidéo, réseaux sociaux, outils de collaboration professionnelle, etc.), en lien avec les pratiques numériques contemporaines (Sierra, 2021). De plus, les manifestations langagières — qu’elles soient individuelles ou collectives — des usagers du numérique constituent un corpus qui permet de mobiliser les notions d'instantanéité et de pérennité du discours (Koch & Oesterreicher, 2001). Les chercheur·ses sont ainsi invité·es à discuter de faits langagiers émanant — de près ou de loin — de l’espace numérique et à situer leur analyse au prisme des concepts de scripturalité, d’oralité et de multimodalité.

 

Les axes proposés ne sont pas exhaustifs, nous encourageons toutes autres interventions portant sur l’étude du langage à l’ère numérique.

*** Call for papers ***
* Paper submission due: March 14, 2022
* Acceptance notification: April 29, 2022
* Camera-ready papers due: May 14, 2022
* Workshop @ COMM 2022: June 16-18 (TBD), 2022

High expansion of urban population and recent world events
complemented by the alarming increase of the number of threats to
infrastructure safety have mobilized Authorities to redesign societal
security concepts. Law Enforcement Authorities are focusing and aiming
consistently their actions at preventing crimes and protecting people,
properties, and critical infrastructures.

With the accelerated advances of communications and storage
technologies, access to critical information acquired from various
sensors and sources, e.g., land cameras, satellite data, drones,
personal devices, has been significantly eased. Manipulation and
processing of such a high amount of diverse data is still a steady
challenge, and most of the existing solutions involve the use of human
resources. However, threats are now hybrid and at a very large scale,
requiring very different security solutions which can make use of
interdisciplinary approaches. In this context, computer-assisted or
automated technologies are now becoming more and more attractive to
substitute expensive human resources in the decision systems.

RISS 2022 focuses on discussing solutions provided by Intelligent
Systems to the challenges. It aims to bring together researchers from
academia and industry, end-users, law-enforcing agencies, and citizen
groups to share experiences and explore multi- and inter-disciplinary
areas where additional research and development are needed, identify
possible collaboration and consider the societal impact of such
technologies.

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished work,
reporting on novel and significant research contributions, on-going
research projects, experimental results and recent developments
related to Intelligent Techniques for Secure Societies on the
following topics (but not limited to):
- Computer vision (e.g., crowd monitoring, scene understanding)
- Multimedia information retrieval (e.g., indexing, searching, and
browsing, Big Data)
- Information fusion from various sensors (e.g., visual, infrared, depth, sound)
- Machine learning (e.g., very large-scale deep learning, neural networks)
- Embedded systems, IoT, and low energy footprint computing
- Social media, cybercrimes, and fake news
- Surveillance systems and interactive solutions
- Forensics and crime scene reconstruction
- Unmanned aerial, terrestrial, underwater vehicles, and robots
- Biometric systems and algorithms (e.g., body, fingerprint, gesture,
voice recognition)
- Case studies, practical systems, and testbeds
- Ethics, data protection, privacy protection, civil liberties, and
social exclusion issues
- Benchmarking, evaluation, and data sets

*** Submission guidelines ***
Prospective authors are invited to submit original, previously
unpublished technical papers for presentation in the conference
sections and for publication in the COMM2022 Conference Proceedings.
Since 2010, the papers presented at the conference have been published
in IEEEXplore and ISI database. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a
paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore®
Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the
conference. To submit your contribution, please adhere strictly to the
conference guidelines available here

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) is glad to announce the 13th edition of LREC, organised with the support of national and international organisations. We hope to be able to organise a face-to-face conference, otherwise an online or hybrid alternative will be set up.


CONFERENCE AIMS
LREC is the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for Language Technologies (LT). LREC aims to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, on-going and planned activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from e-science and e-society, with respect to both scientific/technological issues as well as policy and organisational ones.
LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss issues and opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for international cooperation, in support of investigations in language sciences, progress in language technologies and development of corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.


TRACKS FOR SUBMISSION
LREC 2022 invites the submission of papers on original and unpublished research covering all aspects of LRs & Evaluation of LTs, within natural language processing and computational linguistics. The following (in alphabetical order) are the relevant tracks for the conference:

- Applications involving LRs and Evaluation (including applications in specific domains)
- Corpora and Annotation (including Tools, Systems, Treebanks)
- Dialogue, Conversational Systems, Chatbots, Human-Robot Interaction
- Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage
- Discourse and Pragmatics
- Evaluation and Validation Methodologies
- Information Extraction and Information Retrieval (including NER, QA, Text Mining,  Document Classification, Text Categorisation)
- Knowledge Discovery/Representation (including Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data, Terminology, Ontologies)
- Language Resources and Evaluation for Psycho-linguistics, Cognitive Linguistics and Linguistic Theories

- Statistical Methods and Machine Learning for Language Technologies (including Language Models)

LREC2022 HOT TOPICS

  • Multilingualism and Language Technology for All
  • Language Resources for Emergency Needs
  • Machine Learning and Multimodality


DESCRIBE AND SHARE YOUR LRs!
In addition to describing your LRs in the LRE Map - now a normal step in the submission procedure of many conferences - LREC recognises the importance of sharing resources and making them available to the community.
When submitting a paper, you will be offered the possibility to share your LRs (data, tools, web-services, etc.), uploading them in a special LREC repository set up by ELRA. After LREC, such Language Resources will be made available to the community within the share-LRs repository set-up by ELRA, in compliance with the licenses indicated by right-holders. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, contributes to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data.

PROGRAMME

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

An Industrial Track to report on state of the art within industry and commercial achievements, for which there will be a separate Call, will also be organized

                        Call for Papers
ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) 2022
           June 27-30, 2022 @ Newark, NJ, USA (Hybrid)
                   https://www.icmr2022.org/
=================================================================

Effectively and efficiently retrieving information based on user needs is one of the most exciting areas in multimedia research. The Annual ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) offers a great opportunity for exchanging leading-edge multimedia retrieval ideas among researchers, practitioners and other potential users of multimedia retrieval systems.This annual conference, which puts together the long-lasting experiences of the former ACM CIVR (International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval) and ACM MIR (International Conference on Multimedia Information Retrieval) series, was set up in 2011 to illuminate the state of the arts in multimedia (e.g., text, image, video, audio, sensor data, 3D) retrieval. Following the successful previous editions of ICMR; Trento, Italy 2011, Hong Kong, China 2012, Dallas, USA 2013, Glasgow, UK 2014, Shanghai, China 2015, New York, USA 2016, Bucharest, Romania 2017, Yokohama, Japan 2018, Ottawa, Canada 2019, Dublin, Ireland 2020, and Taipei, Taiwan 2021.

ACM ICMR 2022 is calling for papers presenting significant and innovative research in multimedia retrieval and related fields. Papers should extend the state of the art by addressing new problems or proposing insightful solutions. The scope of the conference includes core topics in multimedia retrieval and recommendation, as well as the broader set of topics that must be addressed to ensure that multimedia retrieval technologies are of practical use in real-world use cases. Special emphasis is placed on topics related to large-scale indexing, mixed reality user interaction, exploiting diverse and multimodal data, and domain-specific challenges.

3-3-22(2022-08-08) CfP AREA 2 - Annotation, Recognition and Evaluation of Actions , Galway, Irland

  =========================================Call for Papers

AREA 2 - Annotation, Recognition and Evaluation of Actions  

AREA - 2 will be held at the 33nd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information - ESSLLI 2022 at Galway, Ireland. AREA- 2 is organized in the first ESSLLI week with plenary talks, posters and demonstrations. AREA - 2 is a SIGSEM-sponsored workshop. 

 

Date: 8 - 12 August 2022

http://www.areaworkshop.org/



WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION MOTIVATION AND TOPICS

=============================================

AREA - 2 is the follow up on the first AREA meeting at LREC 2018  (http://www.areaworkshop.org/). There has recently been increased interest in modeling actions, as described by natural language expressions and gestures, and as depicted by images and videos. Additionally, action modeling has emerged as an important topic in robotics and HCI. The goal of the AREA - 2 workshop is to gather and discuss advances in research areas where actions are paramount e.g., virtual embodied agents, robotics, HRI, human-computer communication, as well as modeling multimodal human-human interactions involving actions. Action modeling is an inherently multi-disciplinary area, involving contributions from computational linguistics, AI, semantics, robotics, psychology, and formal logic.  

 

While there has been considerable attention in the community paid to the representation and recognition of events (e.g., the development of ISO-TimeML and associated specifications, and the 4 Workshops on “EVENTS: Definition, Detection, Coreference, and Representation”), the goals of this workshop are focused specifically on actions undertaken by embodied agents as opposed to events in the abstract. By concentrating on actions, we hope to attract those researchers working in computational semantics, gesture, dialogue, HCI, robotics, and other areas, in order to develop a community around action as a communicative modality where their work can be communicated and shared. This community will be a venue for the development and evaluation of resources regarding the integration of action recognition and processing in human-computer communication.

 

We invite submissions on foundational, conceptual, and practical issues involving modeling actions, as described by natural language expressions and gestures, and as depicted by images and videos. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

- dynamic models of actions

- formal semantic models of actions

- affordance modeling

- manipulation action modeling

- linking multimodal descriptions and presentations of actions (image, text, icon, video)

- automatic action recognition from text, images, and videos

- communicating and performing actions with robots or avatars for joint tasks

- action language grounding

- evaluation of action models



IMPORTANT DATES 

================

First CfP: 23 December 2021

Final CfP: 6 April 2022

Deadline for paper submission: 28 April 2022

Review deadline: 25 May 2022

- Project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects (2-4 pages including references);

- Demonstration notes, accompanying demonstration of software, tools, or systems (2-4 pages including references).

 

We will decide whether to have an oral or poster presentation, depending on reviewer suggestions and the overall workshop schedule. 

 

Papers should be formatted following the common two-column structure as used by ACL. Please use style templates, which are available as an Overleaf template and can also be downloaded directly (Latex and Word). The templates themselves contain only specific notes (e.g., LaTeX notes in the .tex file). Please follow the paper formatting guidelines general to *ACL conferences available here. Similar to ACL 2022, initial submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing.
