2nd SummDial: A SemDial 2022 https://semdial2022.github.io/# Special
Session on Summarization of Dialogues and Multi-Party Meetings
***Website: https://elitr.github.io/automatic-minuting/summdial-2022.html
***Submission Deadline: August 1, 2022 ***
***Event Date: August 24, 2022 ***
With a sizeable working population of the world going virtual, resulting in
information overload from multiple online meetings, imagine how convenient
it would be to just hover over past calendar invites and get concise
summaries of the meeting proceedings? How about automatically minuting a
multimodal multi-party meeting? Are minutes and multi-party dialogue
summaries the same? We believe Automatic Minuting is challenging. There are
possibly no agreed-upon guidelines for taking minutes, and people adopt
different styles to record meeting minutes. The minutes also depend on the
meeting's category, the intended audience, and the goal or objective of the
meeting. We hosted the First SummDial Special Session at SIGDial 2021.
Several significant problems and challenges in multi-party dialogue and
meeting summarization came from the discussions in the first SummDial,
which we documented in our event report
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3527546.3527561.
Since we witnessed enthusiastic participation of the dialogue and
summarization community in the first SummDial special session
https://elitr.github.io/automatic-minuting/summdial.html (
https://elitr.github.io/automatic-minuting/summdial.html), we are hosting
the Second SummDial special session at SemDial 2022
https://semdial2022.github.io/# (https://semdial2022.github.io/#). This
year, we intend to continue discussing these challenges and lessons learned
from the previous SummDial. Our goal for this special session would be to
stimulate intense discussions around this topic and set the tone for
further interest, research, and collaboration in both Speech and Natural
Language Processing communities. Our topics of interest are Dialogue
Summarization, including but not limited to Meeting Summarization, Chat
Summarization, Email Threads Summarization, Customer Service Summarization,
Medical Dialogue Summarziation, and Multi-modal Dialogue Summarization. Our
shared task on Automatic Minuting (AutoMin) at Interspeech 2021 was another
community effort in this direction. Our shared task on Automatic Minuting
(AutoMin) https://elitr.github.io/automatic-minuting/ at Interspeech 2021
