Final call for papers

Third workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Language (RAIL)
https://bit.ly/rail2022


The South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR) is
organising the 3rd RAIL workshop in the field of Resources for African
Indigenous Languages. This workshop aims to bring together researchers
who are interested in showcasing their research and thereby boosting
the field of African indigenous languages. This provides an overview of
the current state-of-the-art and emphasizes availability of African
indigenous language resources, including both data and tools.
Additionally, it will allow for information sharing among researchers
interested in African indigenous languages and also start discussions
on improving the quality and availability of the resources.  Many
African indigenous languages currently have no or very limited
resources available and, additionally, they are often structurally
quite different from more well-resourced languages, requiring the
development and use of specialized techniques.  By bringing together
researchers from different fields (e.g., (computational) linguistics,
sociolinguistics, language technology) to discuss the development of
language resources for African indigenous languages, we hope to boost
research in this field.

The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers
working on resources (data collections, tools, etc.) specifically
targeted towards African indigenous languages.  It aims to create the
conditions for the emergence of a scientific community of practice that
focuses on data, as well as tools, specifically designed for or applied
to indigenous languages found in Africa.

Suggested topics include the following:
* Digital representations of linguistic structures
* Descriptions of corpora or other data sets of African indigenous
languages
* Building resources for (under resourced) African indigenous languages
* Developing and using African indigenous languages in the digital age
* Effectiveness of digital technologies for the development of African
indigenous languages
* Revealing unknown or unpublished existing resources for African
indigenous languages
* Developing desired resources for African indigenous languages
* Improving quality, availability and accessibility of African
indigenous language resources


The 3rd RAIL workshop 2022 will be co-located with the 10th Southern
African Microlinguistics Workshop (
https://sites.google.com/nwulettere.co.za/samwop-10/home). This will be
an in-person event located in Potchefstroom, South Africa. Registration
will be free.

RAIL 2022 submission requirements:
* RAIL asks for full papers from 4 pages to 8 pages (plus more pages
for references if needed), which must strictly follow the Journal of
the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa style guide (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/30
).
* Accepted submissions will be published in JDHASA, the Journal of the
Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/).
* Papers will be double blind peer-reviewed and must be submitted
through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=rail2022).

CALL FOR PAPERS: SIVA'23
Workshop on Socially Interactive Human-like Virtual Agents
From expressive and context-aware multimodal generation of digital humans to understanding the social cognition of real humans

Submission (to be openened July, 22 2022):  https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIVA2023
SIVA'23 workshop: January, 4 or 5 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://www.stms-lab.fr/agenda/siva/detail/
FG 2023 conference: January 4-8 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://fg2023.ieee-biometrics.org/

OVERVIEW

Due to the rapid growth of virtual, augmented, and hybrid reality together with spectacular advances in artificial intelligence, the ultra-realistic generation and animation of digital humans with human-like behaviors is becoming a massive topic of interest. This complex endeavor requires modeling several elements of human behavior including the natural coordination of multimodal behaviors including text, speech, face, and body, plus the contextualization of behavior in response to interlocutors of different cultures and motivations. Thus, challenges in this topic are two folds—the generation and animation of coherent multimodal behaviors, and modeling the expressivity and contextualization of the virtual agent with respect to human behavior, plus understanding and modeling virtual agent behavior adaptation to increase human’s engagement. The aim of this workshop is to connect traditionally distinct communities (e.g., speech, vision, cognitive neurosciences, social psychology) to elaborate and discuss the future of human interaction with human-like virtual agents. We expect contributions from the fields of signal processing, speech and vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, perceptual studies, and cognitive and neuroscience. Topics will range from multimodal generative modeling of virtual agent behaviors, and speech-to-face and posture 2D and 3D animation, to original research topics including style, expressivity, and context-aware animation of virtual agents. Moreover, the availability of controllable real-time virtual agent models can be used as state-of-the-art experimental stimuli and confederates to design novel, groundbreaking experiments to advance understanding of social cognition in humans. Finally, these virtual humans can be used to create virtual environments for medical purposes including rehabilitation and training.

SCOPE

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

+ Analysis of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Analyzing and understanding of human multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Creating datasets for the study and modeling of human multimodal behavior
- Coordination and synchronization of human multimodal behavior
- Analysis of style and expressivity in human multimodal behavior
- Cultural variability of social multimodal behavior

+ Modeling and Generation of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Multimodal generation of human-like behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Face and gesture generation driven by text and speech
- Context-aware generation of multimodal human-like behavior
- Modeling of style and expressivity for the generation of multimodal behavior
- Modeling paralinguistic cues for multimodal behavior generation
- Few-shots or zero-shot transfer of style and expressivity
- Slightly-supervised adaptation of multimodal behavior to context

+ Psychology and Cognition of of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Cognition of deep fakes and ultra-realistic digital manipulation of human-like behavior
- Social agents/robots as tools for capturing, measuring and understanding multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Neuroscience and social cognition of real humans using virtual agents and physical robots

Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23) 

Held in conjunction with the 45th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR'23) 

April 2nd, 2023 - Dublin, Ireland 

Website: https://text2story23.inesctec.pt

****************************************************************************

++ Important Dates ++ 

    - Submission deadline: January 23rd, 2023 

    - Acceptance Notification Date: March 3rd, 2023 

    - Camera-ready copies: March 17th, 2023 

    - Workshop: April 2nd, 2023 

++ Overview ++ 

Recent years have shown a stream of continuously evolving information making it unmanageable and time-consuming for an interested reader to track and process and to keep up with all the essential information and the various aspects of a story. Automated narrative extraction from text offers a compelling approach to this problem. It involves identifying the sub-set of interconnected raw documents, extracting the critical narrative story elements, and representing them in an adequate final form (e.g., timelines) that conveys the key points of the story in an easy-to-understand format. Although, information extraction and natural language processing have made significant progress towards an automatic interpretation of texts, the problem of automated identification and analysis of the different elements of a narrative present in a document (set) still presents significant unsolved challenges

++ List of Topics ++ 

In the sixth edition of the Text2Story workshop, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding the structure of narratives and in incorporating their representation in well-established models, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) which are now common and form the backbone of almost every IR and NLP application. It is hoped that the workshop will provide a common forum to consolidate the multi-disciplinary efforts and foster discussions to identify the wide-ranging issues related to the narrative extraction task. To this regard, we encourage the submission of high-quality and original submissions covering the following topics: 

•     Narrative Representation Models
•     Story Evolution and Shift Detection
•     Temporal Relation Identification
•     Temporal Reasoning and Ordering of Events
•     Causal Relation Extraction and Arrangement
•     Narrative Summarization
•     Multi-modal Summarization
•     Automatic Timeline Generation
•     Storyline Visualization
•     Comprehension of Generated Narratives and Timelines
•     Big Data Applied to Narrative Extraction
•     Personalization and Recommendation of Narratives
•     User Profiling and User Behavior Modeling
•     Sentiment and Opinion Detection in Texts
•     Argumentation Analysis
•     Bias Detection and Removal in Generated Stories
•     Ethical and Fair Narrative Generation
•     Misinformation and Fact Checking
•     Bots Influence
•     Narrative-focused Search in Text Collections
•     Event and Entity importance Estimation in Narratives
•     Multilinguality: Multilingual and Cross-lingual Narrative Analysis
•     Evaluation Methodologies for Narrative Extraction
•     Resources and Dataset Showcase
•     Dataset Annotation for Narrative Generation/Analysis
•     Applications in Social Media (e.g. narrative generation during a natural disaster)
•     Language Models and Transfer Learning in Narrative Analysis
•     Narrative Analysis in Low-resource Languages

++ Dataset ++

    We challenge the interested researchers to consider submitting a paper that makes use of the tls-covid19 dataset (published at ECIR'21) under the scope and purposes of the text2story workshop. tls-covid19 consists of a number of curated topics related to the Covid-19 outbreak, with associated news articles from Portuguese and English news outlets and their respective reference timelines as gold-standard. While it was designed to support timeline summarization research tasks it can also be used for other tasks including the study of news coverage about the COVID-19 pandemic. A script to reconstruct and expand the dataset is available at https://github.com/LIAAD/tls-covid19. The article itself is available at this link: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-72113-8_33 

++ Submission Guidelines ++ 

    We invite two kinds of submissions: 

• Full papers (up to 7 pages + references): Original and high-quality unpublished contributions on the theory and practical aspects of the narrative extraction task. Full-papers should introduce existing approaches, describe the methodology and the experiments conducted in detail. Negative result papers to highlight tested hypotheses that did not get the expected outcome are also welcomed.
• Work in progress, demos and dissemination papers (up to 4 pages + references): unpublished short papers describing work in progress; demo and resource papers presenting research/industrial prototypes, datasets or software packages; position papers introducing a new point of view, a research vision or a reasoned opinion on the workshop topics; and dissemination papers describing project ideas, ongoing research lines, case studies or summarized versions of previously published papers in high-quality conferences/journals that is worthwhile sharing with the Text2Story community, but where novelty is not a fundamental issue.

    Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published at CEUR workshop proceedings (indexed in Scopus and DBLP) as long as they don't conflict with previous publication rights.
