Meeting Description:

See below!

RaPID-3 aims to be an interdisciplinary forum for researchers to share
information, findings, methods, models and experience on the collection and
processing of data produced by people with various forms of mental, cognitive,
neuropsychiatric, or neurodegenerative impairments, such as aphasia, dementia,
autism, bipolar disorder, Parkinson's disease or schizophrenia. Particularly,
the workshop's focus is on creation, processing and application of data
resources from individuals at various stages of these impairments and with
varying degrees of severity. Creation of resources includes e.g. annotation,
description, analysis and interpretation of linguistic, paralinguistc and
extra-linguistic data (such as spontaneous spoken language, transcripts,
eyetracking measurements, wearable and sensor data, etc). Processing is done
to identify, extract, correlate, evaluate and disseminate various linguistic
or multimodal phenotypes and measurements, which then can be applied to aid
diagnosis, monitor the progression or predict individuals at risk.

A central aim is to facilitate the study of the relationships among various
levels of linguistic, paralinguistic and extra-linguistic observations (e.g.,
acoustic measures; phonological, syntactic and semantic features; eye tracking
measurements; sensors, signs and multimodal signals). Submission of papers are
invited in all of the aforementioned areas, particularly emphasizing
multidisciplinary aspects of processing such data and the interplay between
clinical/nursing/medical sciences, language technology, computational
linguistics, natural language processing (NLP) and computer science. The
workshop will act as a stimulus for the discussion of several ongoing research
questions driving current and future research by bringing together researchers
from various research communities.

Call for Papers:

RaPID-2020 will be a half-day LREC workshop to be held in the afternoon of
Monday the 11th of May 2020. The oral presentations will be allocated 10-20
minutes (please see the program for details), possibly, followed by a common
poster session (depending on the volume of received submissions). Submitted
papers must be formatted according to the camera-ready style for LREC 2020
(style guidelines, templates etc. for the camera-ready papers are provided on
LREC's main conference page/Submission
https://lrec2020.lrec-conf.org/en/submission2020/authors-kit/), and submitted
electronically in PDF format through the START conference manager page.
Authorship does not have to be anonymous and papers should be 4-8 pages of
content. Additional, unlimited pages containing the list of references and
appendices are allowed. We will strive to have all submissions reviewed by at
least three, or more, members of the program committee. Depending on the
volume of contributions, papers that describe systems or tools will be invited
to give a demo of their system during a poster session.

The topics of interest for the workshop session include but are not limited
to:

- Infrastructure: building, adapting and availability of linguistic resources,
data sets and tools
- Methods and protocols for data collection
- Acquisition and combination of novel data samples
- Guidelines, protocols, annotation schemas, annotation tools
- Domain adaptation of NLP/AI tools
- Acoustic/phonetic/phonologic, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and discourse
analysis of data
- Use of wearable, vision, and ambient sensors
- (Novel) Modeling and deep / machine learning approaches for early
diagnostics, prediction, monitoring, classification etc. of various cognitive,
psychiatric and/or developmental impairments
- Evaluation
- Ethical and legal questions
- Deployment
