Subject: Fourth Workshop on the Use of Computational Methods in the Study of Endangered Languages

 
Full Title: Fourth Workshop on the Use of Computational Methods in the Study of Endangered Languages 
Short Title: ComputEL-4 

Date: 02-Mar-2021 - 03-Mar-2021
Location: Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA 
Contact Person: Antti Arppe
Meeting Email: computel.workshop at gmail.com
Web Site: https://computel-workshop.org/computel-4/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Language Documentation 

Call Deadline: 14-Oct-2020 

Meeting Description:

The ComputEL-4 workshop will focus on the use of computational methods in the
study, support, and revitalization of endangered languages. The primary aim of
the workshop is to continue narrowing the gap between computational linguists
interested in working on methods for endangered languages, field linguists
working on documenting these languages, and the language communities who are
striving to maintain their languages.

We take seriously the goal of reaching all relevant communities. To support
this goal, ComputEL aims to alternate co-location with computational
linguistics conferences and language documentation conferences.

WORKSHOP FORMAT/VENUE AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC (UPDATED):  
ComputEL-4 will take place on March 2-3, 2021, immediately preceding the 7th
International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC7)
hosted by the University of Hawaii. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in line
with the current plans for ICLDC7, we expect that ComputEL-4 will be held as a
fully virtual workshop. Submission and notification deadlines have changed to
reflect this.


3rd Call for Papers: 

EXTENDED DEADLINE to OCTOBER 14, 2020

Papers are invited which explore the interface and intersection of
computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based
language revitalization and conservation efforts. The committee encourages
submissions which:
(i) examine the use of specific methods in the analysis of data from
low-resource languages, with a focus on endangered languages, or propose new
methods for analysis of such data,

(ii) propose new models for the collection, management, and deployment of data
in endangered language settings, or

(iii) consider what concrete steps are required to allow for a more fruitful
interaction between computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language
communities.

The intention of the workshop is not merely to allow for the presentation of
research, but also to continue building a network of computational linguists,
documentary linguists, and community language activists who are able to
effectively join together and serve their common interests.

Submissions: 
In line with our goal of reaching different academic communities, we offer two
different modes of submission: extended abstract and full paper. Either can be
submitted to our two tracks: (a) language community perspective and (b)
academic perspective. The mode of submission does not influence likelihood of
acceptance. Submissions must be uploaded via Easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=computel4) no later than October 14,
2020, 11:59PM (UTC-11, time zone of American Samoa). Please indicate clearly
(in the Abstract) which of the two modes (Extended abstract or Full paper) you
are submitting to.

All submissions must be anonymous and will be peer-reviewed by the scientific
committee. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by mid-November 2020.

A. Extended abstract:
Please submit anonymous abstracts of up to 1500 words.

B. Full paper:
Please submit anonymously either a) long papers (max. 8 pages plus references)
or b) short papers (max. 4 pages plus references) according to the style and
formatting guidelines provided our ComputeEL Style Files (with template files
for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word: see:
https://computel-workshop.org/computel4-submissions/). Authors will be allowed
one extra page for the final version (altogether 5 and 9 pages) excluding
references.

Proceedings: 
The authors of selected accepted full papers (long or short) will be invited
by the Organizing Committee to submit their papers for online publication via
the open-access ACL Anthology. All other accepted full papers (long and short)
and extended abstracts will be published electronically in University of
Colorado Boulder Scholar (https://scholar.colorado.edu/scil-cmel/). Final
versions of long and short papers will be allotted one additional page
(altogether 5 and 9 pages) excluding references. Extended abstracts will be
allotted up to 5 pages (according to the short paper format) excluding
references. Camera-ready versions of the articles for publication will be due
on January 25, 2021.

Important Dates (Extended):
Wed        14-October-2020      Deadline for submission of papers or short
abstracts
Wed        15-November-2020     Notification of acceptance
Tue-Wed    2-3-March-2021       Workshop
