Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Language Documentation

Call Deadline: 07-Oct-2024

Meeting Description:

The ComputEL-8 workshop focuses on the use of computational methods in
the study, support, and revitalization of endangered languages. The
primary aim of the workshop is to continue narrowing the gap between
computational linguists interested in methods for low resource
languages, academic linguists documenting  languages, and the language
communities who are striving to maintain their languages. We encourage
submissions from scholars and activists representing any or all of
these perspectives.

The intention of the workshop is not merely to allow for the
presentation of research, but also to build a network of computational
linguists, documentary linguists, and community language activists who
are able to effectively join together and serve their common
interests.

WORKSHOP VENUE
ComputEL-8 will take place March 3-4, 2025, immediately preceding the
9th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation
(ICLDC) in Honolulu, Hawaii(https://ling.lll.hawaii.edu/sites/icldc/).
In-person events will be co-located with the ICLDC at the University
of Hawai’i Manoa.

The workshop will be a virtual/in-person hybrid event. Ability to
attend in person will not affect consideration of submissions.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS for REGULAR SESSION (and SPECIAL SESSION)

Submission deadline (POSTPONED): October 14, 2024
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=computel8

We encourage submissions that explore the interface and intersection
of computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and
community-based efforts in language revitalization and reclamation.
This includes submissions that:

(i) propose or demonstrate new methods or technologies for tasks or
applications focused on low-resource settings, and in particular,
endangered languages

(ii) examine the use of specific methods in the analysis of data from
low-resource languages, or propose new methods for analysis of such
data, oriented toward the goals of language reclamation and
revitalization

(iii) propose new models for the collection, management, and
mobilization of language data in community settings, with attention to
e.g. issues of data sovereignty and community protocols

(iv) explore concrete steps for a  more fruitful interaction among
computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language communities

IMPORTANT DATES
14-Oct-2024                     Deadline for submission of papers or
extended abstracts
22-Nov-2024                     Notification of Acceptance
10-Jan-2025                     Camera-ready papers due
4 & 5 March 2025                Workshop

PRESENTATIONS
Presentation of accepted papers will be in both oral sessions and a
poster session. The decision on whether a presentation for a paper
will be oral and/or poster will be made by the Organizing Committee on
the advice of the Program Committee, taking into account the subject
matter and how the content might be best conveyed. Oral and poster
presentations will not be distinguished in the Proceedings.

SUBMISSIONS
In line with our goal of reaching multiple overlapping communities, we
offer two modes of submission: extended abstract and full paper. The
mode of submission does not influence the likelihood of acceptance.
Either can be submitted to one of the workshop’s tracks: (a) language
community perspective and (b) academic perspective.

Submissions must be uploaded to EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=computel8) no later than
October 14, 2024 11:59PM (UTC-12, “anywhere on earth”). Submissions
may be considered for both the regular session and the special
session.

All submissions must be anonymous following ACL guidelines and will be
peer-reviewed by the scientific Program Committee.

A. Extended Abstract:
Please submit anonymous abstracts of up to 1500 words, excluding
references. Extended abstracts must be submitted as attached
documents.

B. Full Paper:
Please submit anonymously either a) a long paper - max. 8 pages
excluding references and appendices; or b) a short paper - max. 4
pages excluding references, according to the style and formatting
guidelines provided in by ACL Style Files (download template files for
LaTeX or Microsoft Word: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files).

PROCEEDINGS
The authors of selected accepted full papers (long or short) will be
invited by the Organizing Committee to submit their papers for online
publication via the open-access ACL Anthology. Final versions of long
and short papers will be allotted one additional page (altogether 5
and 9 pages) excluding references.

Proceedings papers should be revised and improved versions of the work
that was submitted for, and which underwent, review. Any revisions
should concern responses to reviewer comments or the addition of
relevant details and clarifications, but not entirely new, unreviewed
content. Camera-ready versions of the articles for publication will be
due on January 10, 2025.
