Dear colleagues,

Please find below a call for participation in a conference organized by the
French consortium ARIANE (a discussion and research group on the impacts of
AI on research methods in text sciences).

On behalf of the organizing committee, best regards,

Ioana Galleron

Chatting in Academia? The impact of large language models and
conversational agents on literary studies

Since the launch, in November 2022, of the famous conversational agent
built by OpenAI, both the general public and politicians have discovered
the existence of large language models (LLM) and deep learning. More or
less fantasized projections are made about this type of tool, displaying
both unprecedented capacities (especially in terms of coherence and even
elegance in writing), and incomprehensible failures ("hallucinations" like
the one in subject of the sheep eggs).

The question that arises is that of the real contribution that such tools
can have in different sectors. The conference organized by the ARIANE
consortium wishes to focus on the perspectives opened up by major language
models, coupled or not with conversational agents, for literary studies. We
will understand the latter in a very broad sense, relating both to texts
recognized for their aesthetic value, whether or not they are
inscribed in a canon, and to texts that do not have such ambition,
mobilized in historical, philosophical, linguistic studies, etc.

We invite you to submit a communication proposal if you use or have used an
LLM and/or a conversational agent for:

-       write a summary, a synthesis, any type of text related to your
scientific work;

-       annotate texts, whatever the output format of the data (xml, json,
spreadsheet, etc.)

-       generate or correct computer code to carry out your work;

-       carry out a study of the literature, or a state of the art;

-       analyze your data, thanks to an additional machine learning step
(fine-tuning);

 etc.

Communications should focus on the interest and limits of the use of
LLMs/conversational agents, as well as on the different stages, or the
various protocols, which had to be put in place to obtain results.
Presentations of possible failed experiments are just as welcome,
especially coupled with the presentation of the alternatives adopted:
manual work, use of older software, traditional machine learning, etc.

Three types of proposals are expected:

   1. Communications lasting around twenty minutes, followed by questions.
   Proposals of 1500 words (excluding bibliography), but including a brief
   presentation of the author(s).
   2. Round tables lasting 1h30 to 2h. Round tables bring together between
   4 and 8 participants (including the moderator). Proposals of 3000 words
   (excluding bibliography), but including a brief biography of each speaker.
   3. Posters. Proposals of 500 words (excluding bibliography), including a
   brief presentation of the main author.

Communications must be submitted before September 7, 2024 (6 p.m.) via
SciencesConf: https://csthn-ariane.sciencesconf.org/. The acceptance (or
reject) will be notified by September 27 at the latest. The conference will
take place on November 26 and 27 at Condorcet Campus (Aubervilliers).
