Workshop Description and Objectives
<br>
<br>
The first joint SLTU-CCURL workshop, organized by SIGUL, a joint
Special Interest Group of the European Language Resources
Association (ELRA) and of the International Speech Communication
Association (ISCA), will gather researchers working on speech
processing and NLP for less-resourced languages.
<br>
We solicit papers and posters related to all areas of NLP , speech
and computational linguistics, as well as those at the
intersection with digital humanities and documentary linguistics,
provided that they address less-resourced languages.
<br>
<br>
The intention of this joint SLTU-CCURL workshop is not only to
provide a forum for the presentation of research, but also to
offer a venue where researchers in different disciplines and from
varied backgrounds can fruitfully explore new areas of
intellectual and practical development while honoring their common
interest of sustaining less-resourced languages.
<br>
<br>
Topics of interest
<br>
<br>
Topics include but are not limited to:
<br>
<br>
- Language resource development, acquisition and representation
<br>
- Linguistic theories, corpus development and resources
<br>
- Linguistic and cognitive studies
<br>
- Unsupervised discovery of linguistic units
<br>
- Code switched lexical modeling
<br>
- Multi-lingual and cross-lingual (spoken, text) language
processing
<br>
- Speech-to-text, text-to-speech and speech-to-speech processing
<br>
- Machine translation and dialogue systems
<br>
- NLP and speech technologies for under-resourced languages
<br>
<br>
Submission & Publication
<br>
<br>
Papers need to address less-resourced languages. They can contain
an analysis and insight into existing methods and problems; a
description of resources; an overview of the literature or of
current initiatives, or a combination of the above. Authors must
declare if part of the paper contains material previously
published elsewhere.
<br>
<br>
We accept submission of long papers (up to 8 pages, to be
presented as long presentations) and short papers (up to 4 pages,
to be presented as posters or demos). The program committee
reserves the right to decide whether a paper submitted as a long
paper is better suited for a poster presentation. Page limits
exclude references.
<br>
<br>
The papers of the workshop will be published in online
proceedings.
<br>
<br>
Papers must strictly comply with the LREC stylesheet (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lrec2020.lrec-conf.org/en/submission2020/authors-kit/">https://lrec2020.lrec-conf.org/en/submission2020/authors-kit/</a>)
and be submitted in PDF unprotected format.
<br>
<br>
Submission page: will be announced on the website by 20 December
2020.
<br>
<br>
Each submission will be reviewed by three programme committee
members. In compliance with the LREC rules, papers must not be
anonymized.
<br>

Identify, Describe and Share your LRs!
<br>
<br>
Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the
submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by
other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014
about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors
will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs
in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked
to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new “regular”
feature for conferences in our field. This will contribute to
creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share
data.
<br>
<br>
As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work
so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and
also to allow the replication of the experiments conducted by
other researchers, LREC 2020 endorses the need to uniquely
Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard
Language Resource Number (ISLRN, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.islrn.org">www.islrn.org</a>),
a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language
Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers
will be offered at submission time.
