[Da: *Beyza Yaman* <beyza.yaman@adaptcentre.ie>]
Dear all,
We are happy to announce that the 5th
International Workshop on Geospatial Linked Data will be co-located with
the European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) in May 2022.
Details are published on the website: https://i3mainz.github.io/GeoLD2022/
Abstract:
-------------
Geospatial data are essential not only for many traditional GIS tasks such
as navigation, logistics, and tourism, but even more for emerging
technologies like autonomous vehicle navigation, smart city technologies,
and further location-based services. For all these
technologies, geospatial linked data (GLD) is a crucially important source
of machine-readable pre-interpreted information.
Recently, we can observe a transformation process of
spatial data infrastructures from previously merely acting
as data providers to becoming brokers of geospatial information of
different kinds, origins, quality, and a need to interconnect and
incorporate information of different data repositories, often even in
real-time.
This need for GLD integration leads to efforts to create next-generation
knowledge graphs which integrate multiple spatial datasets with large
numbers of general datasets containing some geospatial references (e.g.,
\emph{DBpedia, Wikidata}) and even volunteered geographic information
(e.g., \emph{LinkedGeoData}) and sensor data. This integration, either on
the public Web or within organizations has immense socio-economic and
academic benefits. The upsurge in linked data-related presentations in the
Eurogeographics data quality workshop series, in relevant journal
publications, in activities of standardization bodies (OGC GeoSPARQL), and
in Spatial Data Applications shows a deep interest in GLD in national
mapping agencies and beyond. GLD enables web-based,
interoperable geospatial data infrastructures that may enhance and support
existing standardization efforts like Europe's INSPIRE directive.
Moreover, geospatial information systems benefit
from Linked Data principles in building the next generation of
spatial data applications, e.g., federated smart buildings, self-piloted
vehicles, delivery drones, or automated local authority services, which is
of increasing interest to various stakeholders.
This workshop invites papers covering the challenges and solutions for
handling GLD, especially for building high-quality,
adaptable, geospatial data infrastructures and next-generation spatial
applications. We aim to demonstrate the latest approaches and
implementations and to discuss the solutions to challenges and issues
arising from research and industrial organizations.

1st Call for Papers
Towards Digital Language Equality 2022 Workshop (TDLE 2022)
Monday June 20, 2022
Palais du Pharo, Marseille, France
https://european-language-equality.eu/tdle-2022/
Submission Deadline: 11 April 2022
Submission page: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2022/Equality/
==============
Workshop Description and Objectives
Language Technology (LT) is one of the most important AI application areas
with a fast-growing economic impact. Current LT (NLP, Speech, Multimodal,
etc.) supports many advanced applications which would have been unthinkable
only a few years ago. In fact, the LT community in multiple sectors
(Machine Translation, Text Analytics, Speech, Language Resources, etc.) is
developing powerful new deep learning techniques, tools and large
multilingual pre-trained language models that are revolutionizing many
language-related tasks and supporting improved ways of communicating,
including across languages.
Unfortunately, most of the tools and resources are not equally available
for all languages and domains. Although LT has the potential to overcome
the linguistic divide in the digital sphere, most languages are often
neglected in this regard. A growing concern is that due to unequal access
to these resources, only a small set of large IT companies and elite
universities lead modern LT development (Ahmed and Wahed, 2020
<https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.15581>).
To unleash the full potential of LT and ensure that no users of these
technologies are disadvantaged in the digital sphere because of the
language they use, we should facilitate long-term progress towards
multilingual, efficient, accurate, explainable, ethical, fair and unbiased
language understanding and communication. In short, we must ensure
transparent Digital Language Equality
<https://european-language-equality.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ELE_Deliverable_D1_1.pdf>
(DLE) in all areas of society: from government to business to citizens.
In this workshop, we would like to address the international, national,
regional and local policies, initiatives, projects, studies and research
that target DLE, such as models and tools that monitor, measure, catalog or
visualize the evolution and dynamics of DLE, technological factors, (e.g.,
available language resources, tools and technologies) and situational
context factors (e.g., societal, economic, educational, industrial) that
may affect DLE. In addition, we will explore recent advances in Natural
Language Understanding (NLU) towards DLE, including cost-efficient resource
acquisition, processing and annotation, both monolingual and cross-lingual
(such as annotation transfer), multilingual and cross-lingual modeling
techniques (transfer learning), zero-resource, zero-shot models, etc.
Topics of Interest
We invite submissions with original contributions addressing all topics
related to DLE. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- Use cases and best-practice examples and guidelines for LT deployment
for concrete scenarios or for actual deployment of LT for specific
end-users, feasibility studies, prototype implementations, cost estimates
or results of desk research.
- Collaborative efforts towards the identification, collection,
documentation, curation, interoperability, reuse and archiving of LRs/LTs
and other relevant artifacts.
- International, national, regional and local policies, initiatives,
projects, studies and research that target DLE or similar/related notions.
- Models and tools that monitor, measure, catalog or visualize the
evolution and dynamics of DLE.
- Studies on technological factors, (e.g., available language resources,
tools and technologies) and situational context factors (e.g., societal,
economic, educational, industrial) that may affect DLE.
- Analysis of the benefits of DLE policies.
- Impact of DLE on society.
- Main breakthroughs needed in LT for achieving DLE in a certain
multilingual region or society.
- Main LT visions and development goals for DLE.
- Recent advances in LT and NLU that help progress towards DLE, including
cost-efficient resource acquisition, processing and annotation, both
monolingual and cross-lingual (such as annotation transfer), multilingual
and cross-lingual modeling techniques (including but not limited to
transfer learning), zero-resource, zero-shot models, etc.

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 2022 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.
