The 4th LRL Workshop: "Language Technologies in support of Less-Resourced Languages"
|
Papers submission deadline : September 10, 2015 September 18, 2015.
Workshop date: November 28, 2015 (half-day, afternoon)
See also the 4th LRL website at ILC.
Organizing Committee

• Zygmunt Vetulani (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland)
Theme and Motivation
This Workshop is targeting all stakeholders somehow involved in Language Technology for less-resourced languages, either as users, developers, researchers, language activists, policy makers. As such, the Workshop broadly addresses current use and usability of Language Technologies for less-resourced languages. This year, we take the opportunity of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Language and Technology Conference to analyze the influence of Language Technologies on Less-Resourced Languages over two decades. We will particularly welcome contributions addressing the following issues:
1) LRLs in the digital age - how well are regional/minority/less-resourced languages equipped for the digital age? What is the experience of speakers, what are their opportunities to act in the digital sphere by means of these languages? Do speakers of regional/minority/less-resourced languages experience any kind of "unequal digital opportunity"? What is the impact of LRTs on the use and usability of LRL on digital media and devices?
2) LRTs for LRL - development of LRTs for LRLs is often linked to purposes other than availability of applications for retrieving information or for enabling communication (e.g. language learning, identity-building or language reclamation): how often are LRLs targeted by applications for educational, entertainment, or revitalization purposes?
3) LRL: charting the field - what do we know about currently available LRTs for LRL? How to draw a comprehensive and accurate picture? Who are the actors to be involved? What is the experience of researchers and developers?
4) LRL: rethinking the BLaRK - the BLaRK still proves a useful tool for planning and implementing LT for LRL. How can it be remodeled/rethought in the light of current technological development? How can it be channeled into a coherent development roadmap?

Theme and Motivations:
Utilizing social wisdom begins with observation of human behaviour, analysis of artifacts, building paradigms on statistical models and converting them into algorithms. Social trend observed in XXI century networking and business activity has several roots. A base for rapid growth is accessible technology. But the force that drives people to active contribution is an everyday challenge to become recognizable and rich. Crowd creativity is a process of merging efforts and distributed resources in order to produce new quality and new products. Utilizing social energy and productivity gives beginning to new business paradigms, which converted into algorithms may be applied in various domains.
Among a variety of ways how people share their wisdom text resources – words – play an important role. Books, articles, reports, subtitles, comments, tables of data, e-mails, passwords and other textual feeds are easy to produce, easy to transfer, relatively easy to translate and very attractive to process and analyze. 3rd SAIBS is a place where we want to discuss methods of knowledge discovery in text, its visualization and commercialization.
An important contribution of social power is software developed and hosted by volunteers and distributed on word-of-mouth recommendation. During the workshop session we want to face social contribution to business processes taking into account possible benefits and risk factors. How far can business relay on social input? What are the limits or what are the areas where introducing crowdsourced parts may increase overall risk value to unacceptable level? What are social benefits gained by mining and aggregating knowledge derived from analysis social artifacts presented in text or other forms in global computer network.
Algorithmic trading (algo trading) practiced on stock markets and Forex trading platforms arises as a new challenge for algorithm designers. This field of knowledge and practice grown from human-eye analysis of text tables collecting series of prices is a good example how far computer algorithms can outperform humans in precision, speed and accuracy. During 3rd SAIBS we would like to face the phenomenon of social trading, compare models of passive income from trading systems based on algorithmic and social recommendation and discuss algo-trading boundaries. Should algorithmic trading become a part of computing science curricula? Finally we are also interested in research works which analyze crowd behaviour collected in text tables or visualized in form of charts.
Aims, scope and Topics:
During 3rd SAIBS Workshop we want to focus on computational and optimization issues that can be supported by crowd input or social intelligence. A separate issue worth to analyze is visualization of data and paradigms collected in databases and large text files. We will try to answer the question how far and on which fields business may benefit from utilizing social contribution. And finally, we will discuss problems how computer systems may understand social behaviour (sometimes named: market) and support humans in making decisions, i.e. in automatic trading.
Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
• Translation issues and multi-language data feeds
• Recommender systems based on textual content and comments analysis
• Object comparison, building ranks
• Mining text artifacts to feed recommender systems
• Visualization of text and digital data
• Social and language issues in software specification, design and production
• New face of interactive social games based on text instructions and wordplay
• Software engineering issues
• Cultural and social issues in global software development
• Social sharing and exchange systems
• Crowdsourcing and crowdfounding
• Automatic trading systems
• Optimization algorithms in trade support
• Experimental discovery of market behaviour
• Business models based on mobile applications
• Knowledge commercialization
• Business process improvement
Inscription procedure: as for the general LTC (+ cc to workshop chairs)
Fees:The 3rd SAIBS Workshop is an integral part of the 7th Language and Technology Conference (with autonomous Program Committee). Fees and payment procedures are the same as for LTC and cover participation in the general program. Free for participants registered to the general LTC. Single registration covers only one paper presentation. (See the Publication Policy section).
Publication
All papers accepted for SAIBS 2015 will be published in the LTC proceedings (printed hard copy, with ISBN number +CD). A post-conference volume with extended versions of selected papers is planned. As this was the case for the previous three LTC conferences, we intend to publish them in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.
Authors of the best SAIBS 2015 papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their works to three international scientific journals.
In order to qualify for a journal, the paper must be presented at SAIBS 2015 by one of its authors. Publication of selected papers in the journal will be subject to the second round of reviews (to verify if the paper satisfies the journal requirements, including 30% of new content when compared that the version from the LTC proceedings).
Paper submission: format, templates and acceptance procedures are as for the general LTC (see the Paper Submission Section; above). Anonymized versions af papers should be submitted using EasyChair exactly as for the general LTC, but copies should also be sent to saibs@cs.put.poznan.pl. Please also put "SAIBS'15 submission" as Subject of your mail and "SAIBS" as a key word (both in the EasyChair form and in the paper itself).
It is important to strictly observe the rule of of not disclosing the authors' identity in the copy submitted for reviewing.
Important dates:
- September 10, 2015, Submission of papers
- October 18, 2015, Notification of acceptance
- October 26, 2015, Deadline for camera-ready papers
- November 27-29, 2015: LTC
- November 28, 2015: SAIBS 2015 Workshop at the 7th LTC
Workshop fees: 3rd SAIBS Workshop is an integral part of 7th Language and Technology Conference (with autonomous Program Committee). Fees and payment procedures are the same as for LTC and cover participation in the general conference program. Single registration covers only one paper presentation.
