Meeting Description:

Multimodality and Interaction in Language Learning (MILLing) will
bring together researchers in linguistics and computational
linguistics to discuss learning through linguistic interaction, from
the perspectives of both human language acquisition and machine
learning. We encourage contributions from the fields of theoretical
linguistics, experimental linguistics, pragmatics, computational
linguistics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.

2nd Call for Papers:

[UPDATE: Invited speakers]

https://gu-clasp.github.io/MILLing

Multimodality and Interaction in Language Learning (MILLing) will
bring
together researchers in linguistics and computational linguistics to
discuss
learning through linguistic interaction, from the perspectives of both
human
language acquisition and machine learning. We encourage contributions
from the
fields of theoretical linguistics, experimental linguistics,
pragmatics,
computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive
science.

The conference is organised by the Centre for Linguistic Theory and
Studies in
Probability (CLASP, <https://gu-clasp.github.io/>), University of
Gothenburg.
The conference will be held between October 14 and 15 in Gothenburg,
Sweden.

Topics of interest
----
We hope to see innovative work that considers language learning from
different
perspectives, and we hope to cultivate discussion that reaches across
traditionally disparate disciplines. Papers are invited on topics in
these and
closely related areas, including (but not limited to) the following:

- Language acquisition: formal, statistical, experimental, and machine
learning-
  based work
- Language learning through dialogue in humans and machines
- Multi-modality and figurativeness in language learning and dialogue
- Linguistic variation, adaptation, and audience design
- Low-resource and ecologically plausible language modelling (e.g.,
BabyLM)
- Cognitive architectures for language learning
- Information state update in humans and machines
- Cognitive approaches to second language acquisition
- Dialogue systems for language learning
- Online, reinforcement and curriculum learning in NLP
- Atypical development and language learning
- Ethical considerations in AI-assisted language learning

Submission Requirements
----
MILLing will feature two types of submissions: long papers and short
papers.
Long papers must describe original research, and they must not exceed
8 pages
excluding references (position papers are also accepted and should be
formatted
in the same way). Short papers present work in progress, or they
describe
systems and/or projects. They must not exceed 4 pages excluding
references. All
types of papers will be published in the 2024 ACL Anthology as a CLASP
Conference Proceedings. Papers should be electronically submitted via
the
softconf system at: <https://softconf.com/n/MILLing2024/>. Submissions
should
be PDF files and use the LaTeX or Word templates provided for ACL
submissions
(<https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>). Submissions have to be
anonymous. Please make sure that you select the right track when
submitting
your paper. Contact the organisers if you have problems using
softconf.
