2nd CFP: Third Workshop on Language Technologies for Historical and Ancient
LAnguages (LT4HALA 2024)

Website: https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2024/
Submission page: https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/lt4hala2024/
Place: co-located with LREC-COLING 2024, Torino, Italy
Date: Saturday, May 25 2024

DESCRIPTION

LT4HALA 2024 is a one-day workshop that seeks to bring together scholars
who are developing and/or are using Language Technologies (LTs) for
historically attested languages, so to foster cross-fertilization between
the Computational Linguistics community and the areas in the Humanities
dealing with historical linguistic data, e.g. historians, philologists,
linguists, archaeologists and literary scholars. LT4HALA 2024 follows
LT4HALA 2020 and 2022 that was organized in the context of LREC 2022 and
LREC 2022, respectively. Despite the current availability of large
collections of digitized texts written in historical languages, such
interdisciplinary collaboration is still hampered by the limited
availability of annotated linguistic resources for most of the historical
languages. Creating such resources is a challenge and an obligation for
LTs, both to support historical linguistic research with the most updated
technologies and to preserve those precious linguistic data that survived
from past times.

Relevant topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- handling spelling variation,
- detection and correction of OCR errors,
- creation and annotation of linguistic resources,
- deciphering,
- morphological/syntactic/semantic analysis of textual data,
- adaptation of tools to address diachronic/diatopic/diastratic variation
in texts,
- teaching ancient languages with LTs,
- NLP-driven theoretical studies in historical linguistics,
- NLP-driven analysis of literary ancient texts,
- evaluation of LTs designed for historical and ancient languages,
- Large Language Models for the automatic analysis of ancient texts.

LT4HALA 2024 will host:
- the third edition of EvaLatin (
https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2024/EvaLatin), an evaluation campaign
entirely devoted to the evaluation of NLP tools for Latin, focusing on
dependency parsing and emotion polarity detection;
- the third edition of EvaHan (https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2024/EvaHan),
the evaluation campaign for the evaluation of NLP tools for Ancient
Chinese, focusing on sentence segmentation and punctuation prediction.

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions of three forms of papers will be considered:
- Regular long papers – up to eight (8) pages maximum*, presenting
substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work.
- Short papers – up to four (4) pages*, describing a small focused
contribution, negative results, system demonstrations, etc.
- Position papers – up to eight (8) pages*, discussing key hot topics,
challenges and open issues, as well as cross-fertilization between
computational linguistics and other disciplines.
*Excluding any number of additional pages for references, ethical
consideration, conflict-of-interest, as well as data, and code availability
statements.
We encourage the authors of papers reporting experimental results to make
their results reproducible and the entire process of analysis replicable,
by making the data and the tools they used available. The form of the
presentation may be oral or poster, whereas in the proceedings there is no
difference between the accepted papers. The submission is anonymous. The
LREC-COLING 2024 official format is requested. Each paper will be reviewed
by three independent reviewers.

Identify, Describe and Share your LRs!

provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also
technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the
work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover,
ELRA encourages all LREC-COLING authors to share the described LRs (data,
tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of
experiments (including evaluation ones).

******************
Summary:
******************

Since 2005, the annual SEMANTiCS conference has been the meeting place for
researchers, industry experts, and business leaders to discuss the latest trends
and application scenarios in the fields of Knowledge Graphs, Machine Learning,
Data Science, Linked Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Natural Language
Processing.

SEMANTiCS tackles challenges faced by information managers, software engineers,
IT-architects, and various domain experts who are involved in the development,
implementation, and evaluation of semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS
program offers a diverse range of technical talks, panel discussions on relevant
topics, and contributions from individuals actively engaged in practical
implementation or scholarly research. Attendees can network with experts in a
variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as
they encounter subtle technical issues at any stage of implementation. The
expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their
professional trajectories and organisational endeavours. These factors make
SEMANTiCS the major outreach event on semantic technologies across Europe,
America, and beyond.

************************************
Research and Innovation Track:

The Research and Innovation track at SEMANTiCS 2024 welcomes papers on novel
scientific research and innovations relevant to the Semantic Web, Semantic
Technologies, and semantic-enabled AI. We also welcome submissions at the
intersection between this field and other scientific disciplines. Submissions
