Meeting Description:

The theme for this Special Session at ComputEL-5 is ''Partnerships in
Practice''.  The goal of this Special Theme Session is to increase our shared
understanding of how best to work together across disciplinary and cultural
boundaries to support community goals for language revitalization.

About COMPUTEL-5:
See: https://computel-workshop.org/computel-5/
ComputEL-5 will be co-located with the 60th Annual Meeting of the Association
for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2022) in Dublin, Ireland
(www.2022.aclweb.org).

Workshop format/venue during the Covid-19 pandemic:
Our current intention is for ComputEL-5 to take place in person following the
main conference hosted in Dublin. The workshop will be a virtual/in-person
hybrid event. Ability to attend the workshop in person will not affect
consideration of submissions.

Organizing committee:
Sarah Moeller (University of Florida), Antonios Anastasopoulos (George Mason
University), Antti Arppe, Atticus Harrigan, Josh Holden, Jordan Lachler
(University of Alberta), Aditi Chaudhary, Shruti Rijhwani  (Carnegie Mellon
University), Alexis Palmer (University of Colorado) & Lane Schwartz
(University of Illinois)

- All authors of papers in the Special Theme Session will be invited to
contribute to a follow-up paper that synthesizes the findings of the Session.

Important Dates:
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 15 March 2022
Notification of acceptance: 1 April 2022
Special Theme Session/Workshop: 26-27 May 2022

We invite presentations that address two broad topics: (1) Lessons Learned
from Existing Partnerships, and (2) Solicitations for Future Partnerships.

1. Presentations that describe existing partnerships between language
communities, documentary linguists and computational linguists. We encourage
submissions which address questions such as:
   a. how did the team members meet and come to work together?
   b. what projects have you worked on, and what tools and resources have you
created?
   c. how have those tools and resources benefitted community efforts at
language maintenance and revitalization?
   d. what are some challenges (logistical, technical, interdisciplinary,
intercultural) that you encountered, and how did you address them?
   e. how have you balanced the needs and priorities of different team members
through the lifespan of the project?
what lessons have you learned that might benefit other similar collaborations?

2. Presentations that describe a project between a language community and a
documentary linguist, where they have identified a need for assistance from a
computational linguist.  We encourage submissions which address questions such
as:
   a. how did the project come about and what are its goals?
   b. what tools or resources, if any, has the team been able to produce so
far?
   c. what other tools or resources do you wish to create, and what challenges
are you facing in creating them? 
   d. how do you see that the project might benefit from assistance from a
computationally-oriented linguist?  

In addition to the presentations in this Special Theme Session, we will also
be incorporating time in the conference schedule for structured group
discussions on these topics.
