Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 13-Feb-2023 

Meeting Description:

Field linguistics plays a crucial role in the development of linguistic theory
and universal language modelling, as it provides uncontested, the only way to
obtain structural data about the rapidly diminishing diversity of natural
languages.

The Field matters workshop aims to bring together the urgent needs of field
linguists and the vast community of NLP practitioners, developing up-to-date
NLP tools for easier, faster, more reliable data collection and annotation.

This year we are holding the second workshop on NLP Applications to field
linguistics. The first Field Matters workshop took place at COLING 2022 on
October 16, 2022.


Call for Papers:

We are particularly interested in the following topics:
- Application of NLP to field linguistics workflow;
- Transfer learning for under-resourced language processing;
- The use of fieldwork data to build NLP systems;
- Modeling morphology and syntax of typologically diverse languages in the
low-resource setting;
- Speech processing for under-resourced languages;
- Computational analysis of field linguistics datasets;
- Using technology for preserving culture via language;
- Improving ways of interaction with Indigenous communities;
- Machine-readable field linguistic datasets;
- Studies of irregularities, norm-switching, and other examples of
non-standard
features in fieldwork data;
- Demo-papers on the NLP tools for the fieldwork.

We accept three types of papers:
- non-archival submissions: 2-page abstracts that can present already
published work or work in progress;
- short archival submissions: 4-page papers that present new work;
- long archival submissions: 8-page papers that present new work.

The workshop will take place at EACL 2023 (https://2023.eacl.org/) in
Dubrovnik, Croatia, but online participants are also welcomed.

Dual submissions with the main conference are allowed, but authors must
declare dual submission by entering the paper’s main conference submission id.
The reviews for the submission for the main conference will be automatically
forwarded to the workshop and taken into consideration when your paper is
evaluated. Authors of dual-submission papers accepted to the main conference
should retract them from the workshop by March 13.

Papers posted to preprint servers such as arxiv can be submitted without any
restrictions on when they were posted.

The workshop will run its own review process, and papers can be submitted
directly to the workshop via Start.

Both papers and abstracts must follow the EACL 2023 format
(https://2023.eacl.org/calls/styles/). See EACL 2023 Overleaf template
(https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/eacl-2023-proceedings-template/fvjks
kgsmgnh). Please do not modify these style files. All submissions should be
anonymized.
