Meeting Description:

The 1st Annual Meeting of the ELRA/ISCA Special Interest Group on
Under-Resourced Languages (SIGUL 2022) will provide a forum for the
presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in text and speech
processing for under-resourced languages by academic and industry researchers.
SIGUL 2022 will carry on the tradition of the CCURL-SLTU (Collaboration and
Computing for Under-Resourced Languages – Spoken Language Technologies for
Under-resourced languages) Workshop Series, which has been organised since
2008 and, as LREC Workshops, since 2014. As usual, this Workshop spans the
research interest areas of less-resourced, under-resourced, endangered,
minority and minoritized languages. Since this year LREC includes a track
dedicated specifically to endangered and less-resourced languages, the
workshop aims to be a venue for networking and discussion as much as for
scientific debate.

Over the last years, research in NLP for less-resourced languages has taken
momentum. The multiplication of research interest makes it even more necessary
for the community that revolves around less-resourced languages to find
opportunities for aggregation and discussion. Following the long-standing
series of previous meetings, the SIGUL venue will provide a forum for the
presentation of cutting edge research in NLP, MT and Speech Technologies for
under-resourced languages to both academic and industry researchers, and 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 honouring their common interest of sustaining less-resourced
languages.


Call for Papers:

Topics include but are not limited to:

*   General research on under-resourced languages.
*   Transfer-learning techniques for under-resourced languages (use of
multilingual, pretrained models, unsupervised, semi-supervised, zero-shot,
few-shot training,...) in NLP, MT and Speech technologies.

We also invite position papers on methodological, ethical, or institutional
issues
