2nd CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------- Submission page open now: https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/isa2024/ ISA-20, 2024 Joint ACL - ISO Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation Workshop at REC-COLING 2024, Turin (Italy), May 20-25 Workshop date: Monday, May 20, 2024. Venue: Lingotto Conference Center, Torino Submission date: March 4, 2024 Website: https://sigsem.uvt.nl/isa20/ ISA-20 will be the 2024 edition of a series of joint workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group in Semantics (SIGSEM) and the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO. The latest editions were held as part of the IWCS conference 2023 in Nancy ISA-19), and of the LREC 2022 conference in Marseille (ISA-18). ISA workshops bring together researchers who produce and consume annotations and representations of semantic information as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, video, images, and combinations of multiple modalities are combined. Examples of semantic annotation include the markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts, discourse relations, semantic roles, coreference, space and motion, quantification, visualisation and motion, and people and 3D objects participating in activities and events. The ISO organisation pursues the establishment and exploitation of standardised annotation methods and representation schemes in these and related areas, in support of the creation of interoperable semantic resources. The ISA workshops provide a forum for researchers to identify and discuss challenges in effective interoperable semantic annotation and to critically examine and compare existing approaches and frameworks. TOPICS: Topics for submissions include, but are not limited to: * methodological aspects of semantic annotation * design and evaluation of semantic annotation schemas * innovative methods for automated and manual annotation * context-aware annotation learning * integration of semantic annotation and other linguistic annotations * considerations for merging annotations of different phenomena * multi-layered annotations and representations * semantic annotation, representation, and their interrelatedness * levels of granularity in annotation schemes * use of context in semantic annotation processes * uncertainty and ambiguity in annotations * semantic annotation and ontologies * comparison of semantic annotation schemes * annotator agreement and other metrics for evaluating semantic annotations * qualitative evaluation of semantic annotations * experiments in semantic annotation * applications of semantic annotation * best practices for semantic annotation procedures * semantic annotation, interpretation, and inference * application and evaluation of standards for semantic annotation * language- or application-specific aspects of semantic annotation * capturing semantic information in images and video * issues in the annotation of specific domains of semantic information, such as: - events, states, processes, circumstances, facts - space, time, motion events, and 3D objects as participants - relations in discourse and dialogue - modality, polarity and factuality - quantification and modification - coreference relations - semantic roles and predicate-argument structures - reference and named entities - attribution, sentiment, attitudes and emotions SUBMISSION DETAILS: We invite two types of submission: 1. Research papers, describing original research; these can be either: a. long (6-8 pages, with additional pages for references if needed) or b. short (3-5 pages plus references); Accepted long papers are allowed one additional page of content to accommodate review comments. 2. Project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects (3-5 pages including references). Submission of papers is in PDF form to the START submission page, which will be open soon. All submissions should be formatted using the LREC-COLING style sheet (https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/), available at the LREC-COLING 2024 website. Reviewing will be double blind, so please make sure to anonymise your submission.
