1st Call for Papers - *SIGUL 2022 Workshop <https://sigul-2022.ilc.cnr.it/>*
a post-Conference Workshop of LREC 2022 in Marseille (FR), on 24-25 June
2022
The 1st Annual Meeting of the ELRA/ISCA Special Interest Group on
Under-Resourced Languages (SIGUL 2022) will provide a forum for the
presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in text and speech
processing for under-resourced languages by academic and industry
researchers. SIGUL 2022 will carry on the tradition of the CCURL-SLTU
(Collaboration and Computing for Under-Resourced Languages – Spoken
Language Technologies for Under-resourced languages) Workshop Series,
which has been organised since 2008 and, as LREC Workshops, since 2014.
As usual, this Workshop spans the research interest areas of
less-resourced, under-resourced, endangered, minority and minoritized
languages. Since this year LREC includes a track dedicated specifically
to endangered and less-resourced languages, the workshop aims to be a
venue for networking and discussion as much as for scientific debate.
Over the last years, research in NLP for less-resourced languages has
taken momentum. The multiplication of research interest makes it even
more necessary for the community that revolves around less-resourced
languages to find opportunities for aggregation and discussion.
Following the long-standing series of previous meetings, the SIGUL venue
will provide a forum for the presentation of cutting edge research in
NLP, MT and Speech Technologies for under-resourced languages to both
academic and industry researchers, and also to offer a venue where
researchers in different disciplines and from varied backgrounds can
fruitfully explore new areas of intellectual and practical development
while honouring their common interest of sustaining less-resourced
languages.
Topics include but are not limited to:
* General research on *under-resourced languages*.
* *Transfer-learning techniques for under-resourced languages* (use of
multilingual, pretrained models, unsupervised, semi-supervised,
zero-shot, few-shot training,...) in *NLP, MT and Speech technologies*.
* We also invite *position papers *on methodological, ethical, or
institutional issues
*Instructions for submission can be found **here
