Call for Paper: 1st workshop on Transcript Understanding

Venue: COLING 2022

Location: Gyeongju, Republic of Korea

Submission deadline: July 25, 2022

Submission Site: https://www.softconf.com/coling2022/TU

Workshop Website: https://tuworkshop.github.io


Overview:

Videos have become an omnipresent source of knowledge: courses, presentations, 
conferences, documentaries, livestreams, meeting recordings, vlogs. This has 
created a strong demand for transcript understanding. However, the quality of 
audio and video content shared online and the nature of speech, video 
transcripts pose many challenges to the existing natural language processing 
technologies.

At the First workshop on Transcript Understanding (TU@COLING2022), we aim to 
bring together researchers from various domains to make the best of the 
knowledge that all these videos contain. Researchers from related domains are 
invited to paper on recent advanced technologies, resources, tools, and 
challenges for Transcript Understanding.

Topics:

The TU workshop holds a research track and a shared task track. The research 
track aims to explore recent advances and remaining challenges on video 
transcript understanding. As this topic is a multi-modal subject, researchers 
from artificial intelligence, computer vision, speech processing, natural 
language processing, data mining, statistics, and other fields are invited to 
submit papers on recent advances, resources, tools, challenges for video 
transcript understanding. To this end, the topics of the workshop include but 
are not limited to the following:

- Fundamental processing for video transcript, such as punctuation restoration, 
chunking, parsing, and named entity recognition.
- Subtitle segmentation
- Text summarization and keyword extraction for transcripts
- Event extraction, intent detection, and slot filling
- Sentiment analysis for speech text processing
- Noisy text processing
- Fact-checking, evidence extraction
- Question-Answering extraction from transcripts
- Automatic Speech Recognition, and related system such as speaker 
identification and filler word detection
- Multi-modal, multilingual video-speech-text processing
