[Corpora-List] 2nd CFP: 7th International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (Depling 2023)

[François Lareau via Corpora]

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
DEPLING 2023, WASHINGTON DC, MARCH 9-12, 2023

Depling (https://depling.org) is a bi-annual conference dedicated to 
dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural language processing. 
Dependencies, directed labeled graph structures representing hierarchical 
relations between morphemes, words or semantic units, have now become the 
standard representation of syntactic resources and NLP technologies. Depling 
has become the central event for people discussing the linguistic significance 
of these structures, their theoretical and formal foundations, their 
processing, and their use in NLP tools.


VENUE
This year, Depling will be part of the Georgetown University Round Table on 
Linguistics (GURT, https://gurt.georgetown.edu) in Washington DC on March 9-12, 
2023, together with UDW, TLT, and CxGs+NLP, in the spirit of previous 
SyntaxFests (https://syntaxfest.github.io). Talks will take place in plenary 
sessions to promote cross-fertilization of ideas across subcommunities.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
Depling addresses the use of dependency trees and related formal 
representations (such as DAGs) to represent linguistic structure. Topics of 
interest include but are not limited to:

  *   The use of dependency structures in theoretical linguistics
  *   Historical and epistemological foundations of dependency grammar
  *   The use of dependency structures in corpus development
  *   The use of dependency structures in lexicography
  *   The use of dependency structures in computational linguistics
  *   The relation between dependency-based grammar and other fields of science

INVITED SPEAKER
Guy Perrier, LORIA/Université de Lorraine (Emeritus)


SUBMISSION DETAILS
We invite paper submissions in two distinct tracks:

  *   regular papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, 
including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate;
  *   short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, 
negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces.

Papers must be submitted in PDF via OpenReview:
https://openreview.net/group?id=georgetown.edu/GURT/2023/Conference

Regular papers may consist of up to 8 pages (excluding references and 
appendices). Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages (excluding references 
and appendices). Accepted papers will be given an additional page to address 
reviewer comments.

Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work and 
should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. 
Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, 
significance and relevance to the conference.

All submissions should follow the two-column format and the ACL style.
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files

Proceedings will be published in the ACL Anthology and will include both long 
and short papers.

For more information, read our detailed call for papers here:

IMPORTANT DATES

  *   November 15, 2022: submission deadline (long and short papers)
  *   January 11, 2023: notification of acceptance
  *   February 1, 2023: camera-ready papers due
  *   March 9–12, 2023: conference

[Corpora-List] 2-year postdoc in NLP/data science

[Nina Tahmasebi via Corpora]

Dear colleagues,

We are hiring a second postdoc! Do you have a lot of drive and are 
interested in getting engaged in a vibrant, new research field with the 
chance to work with some of the best in the field?


We are announcing one or more 2-year postdoc positions in identification 
and analysis of lexical semantic change using computational models 
applied to diachronic texts. Application deadline November 15!


Our languages change over time. As a consequence, words may look the 
same, but have different meanings at different points in time, a 
phenomenon called lexical semantic change (LSC). To facilitate 
interpretation, search, and analysis of old texts, we build 
computational methods for automatic detection and characterization of 
LSC from large amounts of text. Our outputs will be used by the 
lexicographic R unit that compiles the Swedish Academy dictionaries, 
as well as by researchers from the humanities and social sciences that 
include textual analysis as a central methodological component.


We are looking for a researcher with a phd in a relevant area (for 
example, language technology/natural language processing, computer 
science, complex systems, mathematics, linguistics with experience in 
computational methods, or informational sciences).


The Change is Key! program and the Towards Computational Lexical 
Semantic Change Detection research project offer a vibrant research 
environment for this exciting and rapidly growing cutting-edge research 
field in NLP. There is a unique opportunity to contribute to the field 
of LSC, but also to humanities and social sciences through our active 
collaboration with international researchers in historical linguistics, 
analytical sociology, gender studies, conceptual history, and literary 
studies.


Come join us!
