[Da: Gabriella Lapesa via Corpora <corpora@list.elra.info>]
Call Deadline: 02-Mar-2024
Meeting Description:
The DELITE workshop provides a forum for presenting new advances in
technology around deliberation by addressing researchers in Natural
Language Processing, human-computer interaction, corpus linguistics,
political science and philosophy, as well as stakeholders and domain
experts involved in integrating such technology into decision-making
processes. With numerous projects all over the world interested in aspects
of digital democracy, inclusivity and representation in the decision-making
process and improving deliberative democracy, DELITE2024 is right at the
center of a new interdisciplinary research community, with the
language-driven angle representing a fundamental and distinctive
contribution.
2nd Call for Papers:
Deliberation is ubiquitous: from navigating divergent interests in everyday
personal life to reaching consensus in the political decision making
process, deliberation describes the communicative process by which a group
of people exchange ideas, weigh different arguments, and ultimately reach
mutual understanding. In recent years, deliberative processes have gained
momentum and shown to improve everyday and political decision-making. For
the first time, technological solutions are maturing to the point that they
can be deployed to support deliberation. In this context, we want to
establish the foundations for collecting and curating data for deliberation
domains and for evaluating technology in deliberative settings.

papers, up to nine (9) pages of content plus unlimited pages for
acknowledgments and references and five (5) pages for short papers.
We also invite non-archival, non-anonymous papers (2-4 pages, including
references) to describe ongoing work, introduce research projects, or
summarize already published work. These will be presented in a poster
session where ongoing projects are presented in order to serve community
building.
Submission of all papers is electronic, using the Softconf START conference
management system (https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/delite2024/).
Papers must follow the LREC-COLING 2024 two-column format, using the
supplied official style files. The templates can be downloaded from the
Style Files and Formatting page provided on the website. Please do not
modify these style files, nor should you use templates designed for other
conferences. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles,
including paper size, margin width, and font size restrictions, will be
rejected without review.

Subject: CfP: Ancient MakerSpaces, AIA/SCS 2025
[Da: Chiara Palladino <chiarapalladino1@gmail.com>]
Call for proposals: Ancient MakerSpaces workshop, AIA/SCS 2025
Ancient MakerSpaces showcases digital approaches to the study of the
ancient world. Since 2017, Ancient MakerSpaces has served as a venue at the
AIA-SCS Annual Meeting for scholars, librarians, and students to share
their ongoing digital scholarship and pedagogical work, as well as a space
for hands-on, peer-based learning about digital resources and computational
methods. The 2025 AIA/SCS Annual Meeting will be held from January 2-5 in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
AMS 2025 is a collaborative, interactive forum showcasing digital ancient
scholarship through presentations and live project demonstrations. We
invite submissions from individuals working on digital tools, platforms,
repositories, or techniques for engaging with ancient texts and material
culture. Whether in the context of research, outreach, or teaching, we
welcome digital work in all stages of planning and completion: in-progress
or unpublished builds, published projects, and those left glitching or
unfinished.
Time allotments will be 25 minutes long, oftentimes with 10 minutes devoted
to introducing the project and the remaining 15 to a demonstration (the
format of which can vary widely). Submissions from all disciplines within
ancient studies (broadly defined) are welcome. Past presentations have
covered a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- digital pedagogy
- AR/VR environments
- digital mapping
- text encoding, annotating, or editing
- network analysis
- digitization and modeling (including epigraphic or numismatic materials)
- database management and development, linked open data, or data
preservation
AMS is committed to providing an inclusive learning environment. We welcome
participants of any identity, age, gender, nationality, race, disability,
or sexual orientation. AMS celebrates individuals linking digital
technology and the ancient world, regardless of their affiliation,
educational level, professional status, or position. All individuals are
welcome to submit a proposal. We especially encourage submissions from
scholars of identities that have been historically marginalized in the
field. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student and would be
interested in presenting a lightning talk (~5 minutes) rather than a full
presentation/demonstration, please get in touch with the organizers.
Please contact the AMS organizers with questions:
Eleanor Martin (eleanor.martin@yale.edu)

Subject: Final CfP: HTRes 2024 – Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources (extended deadline)
Final Call for Papers: HTRes 2024 – Holocaust Testimonies as Language
Resources
Pre-conference workshop at LREC-COLING 2024
(https://lrec-coling-2024.org/)
Tuesday, 21st May, 2024 in Torino, Italy
Workshop webpage: https://www.clarin.eu/HTRes2024
Extended final date for paper submission: 28 February 2024
Holocaust testimonies serve as a bridge between survivors and history’s
darkest chapters, providing a connection to the profound experiences of
the past. Testimonies stand as the primary source of information that
describe the Holocaust, offering first-hand accounts and personal
narratives of those who experienced it. The majority of testimonies are
captured in an oral format, as survivors vividly explain and share their
personal experiences and observations from that time period.
Transforming Holocaust testimonies into a machine-processable digital
format can be a difficult task owing to the unstructured nature of the
text. The creation of accessible, comprehensive, and well-annotated
Holocaust testimony collections is of paramount importance to our
society. These collections empower researchers and historians to
validate the accuracy of socially and historically significant
information, enabling them to share critical insights and trends derived
from these data. This workshop will investigate a number of ways in
which techniques and tools from natural language processing and corpus
linguistics can contribute to the exploration, analysis, dissemination
and preservation of Holocaust testimonies.
Topics of interest:
We expect contributions related to the following topics:
* Creation of datasets and development of tools for the study of
Holocaust testimonies:
* Creation of language corpora of Holocaust testimonies
* Digitisation and enhancement of oral and written testimonies
(including automatic speech recognition, alignment of text and
speech, format conversion, OCR, handwriting recognition, machine
translation)
* Named entity recognition for identifying people, places, and events
in testimonies
* Standards, representation formats, and guidelines for annotations
and vocabularies relevant to the Holocaust testimonies
* Creation, adaptation and tuning of software applications for the
creation, annotation, enhancement and use of Holocaust testimonies
as language resources
Research using NLP and Holocaust testimonies
* Applications of NLP in analysing Holocaust survivor testimonies
* Sentiment analysis and emotional content extraction from survivor
narratives.
Data Visualisation, Knowledge Representation and Information Extraction:
* Visualising complex data structures from Holocaust testimonies
* Building knowledge graphs and networks to represent historical
relationships
* Interactive data visualisations for education and research
* Extracting biographical and temporal information relevant to the
Holocaust
* Deep learning and large language models
Digital Archiving and Long-Term Preservation:
* Methods and tools for digitising and preserving Holocaust testimonies
* Best practices for metadata standards and cataloguing
* Ensuring long-term accessibility and data integrity
Ethical Considerations and Privacy
* Ethical challenges in digitising and sharing sensitive testimonies
* Anonymisation and privacy protection in Holocaust data
* Community engagement and consent in digital projects
User and application aspects
* Development of tools and interfaces for the search, analysis and
exploration of Holocaust testimonies
* Other relevant use cases and application scenarios
All papers must clearly state and explain their relevance to the topic
of 'Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources'.
All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review. Papers will be evaluated according to their
significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and
relevance to the workshop. We welcome the following types of contributions:
Standard research papers (up to 8 pages, plus more pages for references
if needed);
Short research papers (from 4 to 6 pages, plus more pages for references
if needed).
Submissions should strictly follow the LREC2024 stylesheet formatting
guidelines. All papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format
via the main conference platform via START
