Submission deadline: December 25, 2023 We invite submissions to the 6th
edition of the SIGTYP workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic
Typology and Multilingual NLP, to be held at EACL 2024 on March 21 or
22, 2024.
Workshop description
The aim of the 6th edition of SIGTYP workshop is to act as a platform
and a forum for the exchange of information between typology-related
research, multilingual NLP, and other research areas that can lead to
the development of truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop is
specifically aimed at raising awareness of linguistic typology and its
potential in supporting and widening the global reach of multilingual
NLP, as well as at introducing computational approaches to linguistic
typology. It will foster research and discussion on open problems, not
only within the active community working on cross- and multilingual NLP
but also inviting input from leading researchers in linguistic typology.
Our workshop will serve as a platform to enable fruitful discussions. In
2024, we additionally focus on bridging the gap between cross-linguistic
and universal annotation, models, and technology.
SIGTYP is the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and
its integration in multilingual NLP. Appropriate topics include (but are
not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop:
*
Integration of typological features in language transfer and joint
multilingual learning. In addition to established techniques such as
“selective sharing”, are there alternative ways to encoding
heterogeneous external knowledge in machine learning algorithms?
*
Development of unified taxonomy and resources. Building universal
databases and models to facilitate understanding and processing of
diverse languages.
*
Automatic inference of typological features. The pros and cons of
existing techniques (e.g. heuristics derived from morphosyntactic
annotation, propagation from features of other languages, supervised
Bayesian and neural models) and discussion on emerging ones.
*
Typology and interpretability. The use of typological knowledge for
interpretation of hidden representations of multilingual neural
models, multilingual data generation and selection, and typological
annotation of texts.
*
Improvement and completion of typological databases. Combining
linguistic knowledge and automatic data-driven methods towards the
joint goal of improving the knowledge on cross-linguistic variation
and universals.
*
Linguistic diversity and universals. Challenges of cross-lingual
annotation. Which linguistic phenomena or categories should be
considered universal? How should they be annotated?
*
Language-specific studies to support or contradict universals.
Framing a study on 1-3 languages that would shed more light on common
linguistic structures and properties.
*
Extra topics also include: generation of constructed languages,
universals in diachronic languages changes, information-theoretic
approaches to typology, automated approaches to etymology.
Important Dates (all deadlines are 23:59 AoE)
— December 25, 2023: Paper submission deadline (submissions via
OpenReview)
— January 17, 2023: Deadline for submitting ARR submissions that
were rejected or withdrawn from EACL
— January 20, 2024: Notification of acceptance
— January 30, 2024: Camera-ready deadline
— March 21 or 22, 2024: Workshop
Submissions
We invite both extended abstract submissions (non-archival) and general
paper submissions (archival). The accepted submissions will be presented
at the workshop, providing new insights and ideas. Extended abstracts
should describe already published work or work in progress and should
not exceed two (2) pages. This way, we will not discourage researchers
from preferring main conference proceedings, at the same time ensuring
that interesting and thought-provoking research is presented at the
workshop. For general (archival) submissions we accept both long and
short papers. Short papers should not exceed four (4) pages, long papers
should not exceed eight (8) pages papers. Unlimited additional pages are
allowed for the references section in all submission types.
Submissions should be anonymous, without authors or an acknowledgement
section; self-citations should appear in third person.
Submissions must follow the EACL 2024 stylesheet
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files
<https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>; both long and short paper
submissions must follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. All
submissions must be in PDF format.
These should be submitted via OpenReview:
https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2024/Workshop/SIGTYP
<https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2024/Workshop/SIGTYP>.
ARR submissions that were rejected or withdrawn from EACL can be
submitted to SIGTYP by January 17, 2024. We will create a web form for
submitting, and announce it at
https://sigtyp.github.io/sigtyp-cfp2024.html by January 15, 2024.
Acceptance decisions will be made based on the existing ARR reviews.
Authors will be notified by January 20, 2024.
