1st Call for Papers

SIGUL 2022 Workshop <https://sigul-2022.ilc.cnr.it/>

a post-Conference Workshop of LREC 2022

Marseille (FR), 24-25 June 2022


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.

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
