SPECIAL THEME SESSION - BUILDING TOOLS TOGETHER - DL POSTPONED to OCT.
14, 2024

In addition to the main session, the ComputEL-8 workshop invites
self-identified submissions to a special themed session on “Building
Tools Together”, oriented toward amplifying our shared understanding
of how best to work together across disciplinary and cultural
boundaries to build technological tools that support community
language revitalization.

We invite presentations that: (1) describe collaborations in the
development of new tools and technologies; and/or (2) describe or
identify technological or computational needs within community
language reclamation contexts, and/or propose solutions.

1. For presentations that describe a collaboration among language
communities, academic researchers, and (in some cases) industry or
non-governmental organizations towards the development of new tools,
resources, and technologies in, we encourage submissions which address
questions such as:

a. How did the idea for the tool or technology come about?
b. How did the team members meet and come to work together?
c. What has been the impact of this tool? How are you evaluating it?
How has the project  d. benefitted community efforts at language
maintenance and revitalization?
d. What are some challenges (logistical, technical, interdisciplinary,
intercultural) that you encountered, and how did you address them?
e. How have you balanced the needs and priorities of different team
members through the lifespan of the project?
f. What lessons have you learned that might benefit similar
collaborations?

2. For presentations that identify technological or computational
needs within community language reclamation contexts, and/or propose
solutions, e we encourage submissions which address questions such as:

a. What is the need that this tool would meet? Who will it serve?
b. What is the blue-sky version of this tool? What is the minimum
viable product version?
c. What kinds of data, digital assets, or media content would be
required to create the tool, and how would they be assembled?
d. What challenges might the team face in the development process?
e. How do you anticipate the collaborative process to best incorporate
diverse areas of expertise from cultural and community-grounded
knowledge to academic, technical, and production-oriented knowledge?

SUBMISSIONS
Please submit anonymous extended abstracts of up to 1500 words,
excluding references. Full paper submissions (see ComputEL-8 main
