The 8th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural
Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature
to be held in March 2024 in conjunction with EACL 2024
<https://2024.eacl.org/> in St Julian’s, Malta.

Third Call for Papers (with apologies for cross-posting)
Organisers: Yuri Bizzoni, Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Anna Kazantseva,
Stan Szpakowicz
LaTeCH-CLfL 2024 is the eighth in a series of meetings for NLP
researchers who work with data from the broadly understood arts,
humanities and social sciences, and for specialists in those disciplines
who apply NLP techniques in their work. The workshop continues a long
tradition of annual meetings. The SIGHUM Workshops on Language
Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities
(LaTeCH) ran ten times in 2007-2016. The five Workshops on Computational
Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) took place in 2012-2016. The first
seven joint workshops (LaTeCH-CLfL) were held in 2017-2023.
Topics and content
In the Humanities, Social Sciences, Cultural Heritage and literary
communities, there is increasing interest in, and demand for, NLP
methods for semantic and structural annotation, intelligent linking,
discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and
secondary data. This is even true of primarily non-textual collections,
given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such
applications pose new challenges for NLP research: noisy, non-standard
textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, vague research
concepts, multilingual parts within one document, and so no. Digital
resources often have insufficient coverage; resource-intensive methods
require (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or
intense manual effort (e.g., annotation).
Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of
creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking
tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a
certain period, author or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary
devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry.
NLP methods applied in this context not only need to achieve high
performance, but are often applied as a first step in research or
scholarly workflow. That is why it is crucial to interpret model results
properly; model interpretability might be more important than raw
performance scores, depending on the context.
More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models
whose results can be used or interpreted in meaningful ways. It is,
therefore, of mutual benefit that NLP experts, data specialists and
Digital Humanities researchers who work in and across their domains get
involved in the Computational Linguistics community and present their
fundamental or applied research results. It has already been
demonstrated how cross-disciplinary exchange not only supports work in
the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage communities but
also promotes work in the Computational Linguistics community to build
richer and more effective tools and models.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• adaptation of NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences,
Humanities and literature;
• automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data;
• complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces;
• creation (fully- or semi-automatic) of semantic resources;
• creation and analysis of social networks of literary characters;
• discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature;
• emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature;
• generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry;
• identification and analysis of literary genres;
• interpretability of large language models output for
DH-related tasks (explainable AI);
• linking and retrieving information from different sources,
media, and domains;
• low-resource and historical language processing;
• modelling dialogue literary style for generation;
• modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities,
Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage;
• profiling and authorship attribution;
• search for scientific and/or scholarly literature;
• work with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical
use of language.
Information for authors
We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the
workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and
system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers.
• Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to
eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references (just two
if possible -:). The final camera-ready versions of accepted long papers
will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that
reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
• A short paper / demo presenting work in progress, or the
description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of
content plus additional pages of references (one if you can). Upon
acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) content pages in the
proceedings.
• A position paper — clearly marked as such — should not exceed
eight (8) pages including references.
We do /not/ accept papers under multiple submission.
Please use the EACL stylesheets for LaTeX / Overleaf (or, if you must,
for MS Word); last year’s templates athttps://2023.eacl.org/calls/styles
are a fine choice. (All current *ACL styles are discussed at
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files.) Papers should be submitted
electronically, only in PDF, via the LaTeCH-CLfL2024 submission website
on the SoftConf pages at https://softconf.com/eacl2024/LaTeCH-CLfL-2024/.
Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors’ names
and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names,
acknowledgements and so on — anything that immediately reveals the
authors’ identity. Self-references should be kept to a reasonable
minimum, and anonymous citations cannot be used. We will make an
exception for demo papers: the review may be single-blind.
Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings available
as usual in the ACL Anthology.

Subject: DH Benelux 2024 Call for Papers - deadline 2024-01-31
---------------------------
DH Benelux 2024 Conference
4-7 June 2024, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Submission deadline: 31 January 2024
Website: https://2024.dhbenelux.org
---------------------------
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the DH Benelux 2024
Conference, a gathering of scholars, researchers, practitioners, and
enthusiasts in the field of Digital Humanities (DH). The conference
explores the theme “Breaking Silos, Connecting Data: Advancing
Integration and Collaboration in Digital Humanities.”
DH research often involves working with incomplete, fragmented, and
diverse datasets and collections created in specific contexts and
stored in separate institutions. We invite contributions that explore
strategies, techniques, and methodologies for breaking down silos and
connecting disparate data sets and sources, fostering
interdisciplinary collaboration, and enabling new kinds of access to
data. In particular, we welcome papers that discuss innovative
approaches and best practices for designing and implementing data
pipelines in the context of Digital Humanities, facilitating the flow
and transformation of data across various formats, structures, and
platforms.
In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started playing a
significant role in data integration: we encourage submissions that
explore the application of AI techniques, such as natural language
processing, computer vision, and multimodal machine learning, in data
integration. Topics may include AI-driven data mapping, alignment,
entity recognition, data enrichment, and metadata generation.
Modelization and semantic frameworks play a crucial role in
representing and integrating heterogeneous humanities data: we
therefore invite papers that investigate the use of conceptual models,
ontologies, semantic web technologies, and knowledge representation
approaches for fostering harmonization and interoperability.
In a data-centered research domain such as DH, ensuring transparency,
reliability, and accessibility of integrated data is of utmost
importance. We welcome contributions that address the challenges and
opportunities in adhering to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in the context of data
integration, sharing insights on best practices, ethical
considerations, and data governance.
Related to this is the link with Open Research (also called Open
Science or Open Scholarship) and how publication, curation, and
preservation strategies as well as particular choices for (open or
closed) tools, software, or infrastructures determine the impact and
reusability of research results.
Finally, data-driven approaches often develop strategies to summarize
and interpret information extracted from sources to create a new
understanding of the material gathered. We welcome papers that propose
case studies, methodological enquiries, data visualization techniques,
and discussion of data-driven research within the domain of DH.
Contributions that reuse data from other projects or institutions and
integrate the challenges of data reuse in their papers will be
particularly welcome.
We invite researchers, practitioners, scholars, and students to submit
their original research, case studies, position papers, and poster
presentations related to the theme of "Breaking Silos, Connecting
Data" and its associated topics. We welcome interdisciplinary
perspectives and encourage submissions from various disciplines within
the Digital Humanities.
Important Dates
Abstract submission deadline: Wednesday 31 January (23:59 CET)
Notification of acceptance: end of March 2024
Conference dates: 5-7 June 2024, pre-conference workshops on 4 June 2024
Language
We accept abstracts written in English and in any official language of
the Benelux. Please keep in mind that English is the most widely
understood language.
Formats
For DH Benelux 2024, we welcome five types of proposals: (1) long
papers; (2) short papers; (3) posters; (4) application and tool
demonstrations; and (5) workshops. Abstracts should clearly state the
title of the presentation and the names and affiliations of the
authors and the presenters. If applicable, please include your ORCID.
Please indicate for which category (or categories) of presentation you
are submitting your proposal. The word length is dependent on the
proposal type, see details below. References and/or bibliography are
excluded from the word count. The reviewers will take word length into
account. Proposals may contain graphics and illustrations.
- Long papers: (abstracts of 1000-1500 words, paper presentation 20
mins + 10 mins for discussion) are suitable for presenting empirical
work, theorizing, cross- and multidisciplinary work, research methods
and concise theoretical arguments. The research presented in a long
paper should be completed or in the final stages of development. The
research’s stage of completion must be clearly stated in the abstract.
- Short papers: (abstracts of 750-1000 words, paper presentation 10
mins + 5 mins for discussion) are well-suited for reporting on early
stage and ongoing research, as well as new project presentations,
technical details and the results of practical experimentation and
proof of concepts.
- Posters: (abstracts of 500-750 words) are particularly suited for
detailed technical explanations and clarifications, and for the
showcasing of projects and research alike.
- Demonstrations: (abstracts of 500-750 words) of prototypes,
work-in-progress or finished software, hardware technology, tools,
datasets, digital publications and so forth. Demonstrations take place
simultaneously, in parallel to poster sessions and are meant to be
interactive. Conference delegates will have the opportunity to mingle
among the demonstration tables in an informal setting.
- Workshops: (abstracts of 1000-1500 words) are self-organized tracks
planned on the day before the conference. Workshop proposals are
welcome on relevant topics and/or innovative
approaches/tools/techniques. Workshops can be organised either
in-person or in fully virtual mode (hybrid format will not be able to
be supported). We ask you to indicate the scientific scope, aims,
preferred format (in-person or fully virtual), length (half day or
full day), number of participants, and a preliminary program in your
proposal.
The abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the DH Benelux 2024 Program
Committee and published on the DH Benelux 2024 website. Authors of
accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full research article
for the DH Benelux Journal. A separate call for journal submissions
will be made after the conference.
Submission
Submissions can be made via Easychair:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dhb2024.
Evaluation
Proposals will be evaluated according to: relevance, clarity, novelty
and contribution.
We look forward to your contributions and the opportunity to share
insights, engage in discussions, and strengthen the Digital Humanities
community at the DH Benelux 2024 Conference. Join us as we break silos
and connect data, fostering integration and collaboration in the field
of Digital Humanities.
