[Corpora-List] Translation in Transition - Deadline extension

[Ekaterina Lapshinova-Koltunski via Corpora]

The deadline for the 7th edition of the Translation in Transition conference 
(https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024) has been extended to Feb 23, 2024.

This series of conferences has established itself as a central meeting point 
for researchers in the field of empirical translation studies through previous 
editions in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent, Barcelona, Kent and Prague. In its 
7th edition held at the Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi it once 
again wants to be a forum of discussion for empirical research that is based on 
any kind of empirical methodology and that advances our knowledge in the fields 
of translation and interpreting. While the Batumi edition will be open to 
various topics within empirical translation studies, we also want to put 
special emphasis on two directions: low-resourced and less-researched language 
pairs, as well as an interplay between different methods and data types, e.g. 
combining product and process research.

*Final Call for Papers*
We invite original submissions that deal with any of the conference topics. To 
encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas and experience among the researchers of 
various fields of specialization, preference will be given to interdisciplinary 
contributions that cover two or more of the conference topics.

The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts 
that should be between 800 and 1000 words long (excluding references) by 
February 16, 2024. Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the 
study, the abstracts should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts 
will be submitted through the open review system 
(https://openreview.net/group?id=TT/2024/Conference) and reviewed by at least 
two members of the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be 
presented either as oral talks or as posters. All submissions must follow the 
abstract submission instructions 
(https://sites.google.com/view/tt2024/submission-instructions).

We welcome contributions (in English) grounded in empirical approaches to 
studying both interlingual and intralingual translation, as well as theoretical 
and position papers on the following topics:
 * Empirical methods and models (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) or 
methods derived from computational linguistics and data mining (e.g. 
computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to translation studies * 
Presentation of new resources for translation studies (spoken corpora, 
multimodal corpora, interpreting transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced 
languages, lexicons, databases, etc.) * Method and data triangulation: combined 
use of corpus data and methods and other sources of data * Detection and 
analysis of specific features of translation (translationese, interpretese, 
editese, machine translationese, post-editese, etc.) using parallel and 
comparable corpora * Analysis and interpretation of variation in translation, 
e.g. variation driven through register/genre, expertise, mode, etc. * Empirical 
analysis of specialised translation, e.g. legal translation, technical 
translation and others * Analysis of non-canonical forms of 
translation/interpreting and multilingual communication * Cognitive and 
computational insights of variation in translation and translationese * 
Cognitive modeling of translation processes, including cognitive load 
measurements * Translation quality assessment and evaluation using corpora or 
experimental research * Translation in specific settings: between close 
languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay 
translation, etc. * The use of corpora in translator and/or interpreter 
training * Improving understanding of translation in the context of NLP * 
Computer-assisted translation and/or interpreting (CAT/CAI) * Machine 
translation (MT): analysis, evaluation, selection and preparation of data for 
MT, ‘machine translationese’Important dates

Call for Participation
===

We are happy to announce that the Fourth Workshop on Threat, Aggression and
Cyberbullying will be co-located with LREC-COLING 2024 on May 20, 2024.

TRAC-2024 is introducing the novel task of predicting the offline harm
potential of social media posts - broadly the task is to predict whether a
specific post is likely to initiate, incite or further exaggerate an
offline harm event (viz. riots, mob lynching, murder, rape, etc). It will
consist of two sub-tasks. -

Sub-task 1a: What is the offline harm potential of a document?
This will be a four-class classification task where the participants will
be required to predict the level of offline harm potential -
0 (it will never lead to offline harm, in any context),
1 (it could lead to incite an offline harm event given specific
conditions or context),
2 (it is most likely to incite in most contexts or probably initiate an
offline harm event in specific contexts)
3 (it is certainly going to incite or initiate an offline harm event in
any context).

Sub-task 1b: Who is/are the most likely target(s) of the offline harm?
If an offline harm event is triggered, who are going to be the most
affected groups of people? In this task, only the broad category of
identities of the target(s) are to be predicted. It will be a five-class
classification task -
Gender
Religion
Descent
Caste
Political Ideology

WILDRE-7, the 7th Workshop on Indian Language Data: Resources and
Evaluation is proposed to be organised in Lingotto Conference Centre -
Torino, Italy under the LREC-COLING platform. India has a huge linguistic
diversity and has seen concerted efforts from the Indian government and
industry to develop language resources. European Language Resource
Association (ELRA) and its associate organizations have been very active
and successful in addressing the challenges and opportunities related to
language resource creation and evaluation. It is therefore a big
opportunity for resource creators of Indian languages to showcase their
work on this platform and also to interact and learn from those involved in
similar initiatives all over the world. The broader objectives of the
WILDRE will be

To map the status of Indian Language Resources

To investigate challenges related to creating and sharing various levels of
language resources

To promote a dialogue between language resource developers and users

To provide an opportunity for researchers from India to collaborate with
researchers from other parts of the world

Topics of interest

We hope to see innovative work that
considers language learning from different perspectives, and we hope
to cultivate discussion that reaches across traditionally disparate
disciplines. Papers are invited on topics in these and closely related
areas, including (but not limited to) the following:

- Language acquisition: formal, statistical, experimental, and machine 
learning-based work
- Language learning through dialogue in humans and machines
- Multi-modality and figurativeness in language learning and dialogue
- Linguistic variation, adaptation, and audience design
- Low-resource and ecologically plausible language modelling (e.g., BabyLM)
- Cognitive architectures for language learning
- Information state update in humans and machines
- Cognitive aproaches to second language acquisition
- Dialogue systems for language learning
- Online, reinforcement and curriculum learning in NLP
- Atypical development and language learning
- Ethical considerations in AI-assisted language learning

Submission Requirements

MILLing will feature two types of submissions: long papers and short
papers. Long papers must describe original research, and they must not
exceed 8 pages excluding references (position papers are also accepted
and should be formatted in the same way). Short papers present work in
progress, or they describe systems and/or projects. They must not
exceed 4 pages excluding references. All types of papers will be
published in the 2024 ACL Anthology as a CLASP Conference Proceedings.
Papers should be electronically submitted via the softconf system at:
. Submissions should be PDF files
and use the LaTeX or Word templates provided for ACL submissions
(). Submissions have to be
anonymous. Please make sure that you select the right track when
submitting your paper. Contact the organisers if you have problems
using softconf.

Concurrent Submissions

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other conferences or
publications must indicate this at submission time using a footnote on
the title page of the submissions. Authors of papers accepted for
presentation at MILLing must notify the program chairs by the
camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be presented. All
accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the
proceedings. We will not accept publications or presentation papers
that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will
be (or have been) published elsewhere.

Camera Ready Versions

Camera ready versions should follow the same guidelines with respect
to style and page numbers as the initial submission, i.e. there are no
additional pages allowed in the final submission. Please submit the
camera ready version by Sep 20, 2024.

About CLASP

MILLing is organised by the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies
in Probability (CLASP, ) at the Department
of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science (FLoV), University of
Gothenburg. CLASP focuses its research on the application of
probabilistic and information theoretic methods to the analysis of
natural language. CLASP is concerned both with understanding the
cognitive foundations of language and developing efficient language
technology. We work at the interface of computational
linguistics/natural language processing, theoretical linguistics, and
cognitive science.
