Meeting Description:

The first Unimodal and Multimodal Induction of Linguistic Structures Workshop
(UM-IoS) will be held in conjunction with EMNLP 2022.  The one-day workshop
will occur during EMNLP's workshop period (December 7th or 8th, 2022). UM-IoS
provides a discussion platform on induction of structures (IoS), bringing
together researchers and practitioners across natural language processing,
computer vision, machine learning and general AI fields. The full-day event
includes invited talks, oral presentations, and poster sessions.

Call for Papers:

[CFP] First UM-IoS Workshop at EMNLP 2022

***Workshop Description***
Induction of structures (IoS) is the process of inducing structured objects (a
general term of structured data rather than discrete or real values) from a
set of observations. It is a branch of machine learning where the output space
consists of discrete combinatorial objects (such as strings, trees, and
graphs) and is unobserved or partially observed during learning. IoS in
natural language processing has often been very focused on the problem of
uncovering the syntactic structure (e.g., a constituent or dependency tree),
semantic structure, label sequence, discourse structure etc from input text.
Such structures have been found useful in downstream tasks such as information
extraction and machine translation.  Apart from the wide usage in language
processing, inducing the underlying structures from raw sensory inputs (e.g.,
vision) has been a long-standing challenge in the field of artificial
intelligence.

***Call for Papers***
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Understanding and discovering the latent structures (e.g., sequence, tree,
graph) including linguistic or non-linguistic structures from various text and
sensory data.
Probing and analysis of structures from various models, for example foundation
models.
New structured learning approaches. New methodologies including both
statistical approaches and neural approaches, ranging from semi-supervised,
weakly-supervised setting, zero-shot and few-shot learning, transfer learning,
low-resource transfer, unsupervised adaptation, to purely unsupervised
approaches.
Applications of induced structures to different downstream tasks in different
AI fields (e.g., language, vision, robotics, cognition), as well as for
computational modeling in language acquisition and psycholinguistics.
Investigating and understanding joint structure modeling of multiple
modalities. For example, fusing other modalities’ information (e.g., visual
information) to enhance linguistic structures or vice versa.
New datasets, benchmarks or libraries for implementations and evaluation
methods of IoS.

***Submission guidelines***
Long/short papers should consist of eight/four pages of content plus
unlimited pages for bibliography. Submissions must be in PDF format following
the official ACL style templates, anonymized for review. All long and short
papers must follow the ACL Author
Guidelines(https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Author_Guideli
nes). Paper submissions must use the official ACL style templates, which are
available from here (Latex and Word,
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). Please follow the paper
formatting guidelines general to “*ACL” conferences available
here(https://acl-org.github.io/ACLPUB/formatting.html). Each submission will
be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members.

Submission is electronic and is managed by two ways:
OpenReview at
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/EMNLP/2022/Workshop/UM-IoS [1] and
Softconf system at https://softconf.com/emnlp2022/UM-IoS/ [2]. A paper may not
be simultaneously under review through ARR and Softconf. 

***Important Dates***
(anywhere on Earth/UTC-12)

We accept submissions from both ARR and Softconf. So if you find that you have
missed the ARR deadline, feel free to directly submit it to Softconf.

ARR Submission deadline: The last possible ARR deadline for papers (to have
meta-reviews on time to be able to commit to our venue) is July 15. The last
commitment deadline for ARR papers (that have meta reviews) is October 2.

Softconf Submission deadline: September 7, 2022

Acceptance notification: October 20, 2022 (TBD)
Workshop Date: December 7th or 8th, 2022 (TBD)
