by IRDTA

SLSP 2020: 1st call for papers*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ********************************************************************************** 8th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STATISTICAL LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING SLSP 2020 Cardiff, United Kingdom October 14-16, 2020 Co-organized by: School of Computer Science and Informatics Cardiff University Data Innovation Research Institute Cardiff University Institute for Research Development, Training and Advice (IRDTA), Brussels/London http://slsp2020.irdta.eu ********************************************************************************** AIMS: SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between the two domains will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2020, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology. Previous events took place in Tarragona, Grenoble, Budapest, Pilsen, Le Mans, Mons, and Ljubljana. VENUE: SLSP 2020 will take place in Cardiff, the capital of Wales and its political, commercial and cultural centre. The venue will be: Cardiff University Cardiff Wales CF10 3AT UK SCOPE: The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical models (including machine learning) within language and speech processing. Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to: anaphora and coreference resolution authorship identification, plagiarism, and spam filtering corpora and resources for speech and language data mining, term extraction, and semantic web dialogue systems and spoken language understanding information retrieval and information extraction knowledge representation and ontologies lexicons and dictionaries machine translation and computer-aided translation multimodal technologies natural language understanding and generation neural representation of speech and language opinion mining and sentiment analysis part-of-speech tagging, parsing, and semantic role labelling question-answering systems for speech and text speaker identification and verification speech recognition, transcription, and synthesis spelling correction text categorization and summarization user modeling STRUCTURE: SLSP 2020 will consist of: invited lectures peer-reviewed contributions posters KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: tba PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: (to be completed) Chitta Baral (Arizona State University, US) Jean-François Bonastre (University of Avignon, FR) Fethi Bougares (University of Le Mans, FR) Nicoletta Calzolari (National Research Council, IT) Bill Campbell (Amazon, US) Kenneth W.

Second Call for Papers of ICSR 2020

by ICSR 2020

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS - ICSR 2020, November 9-11, 2020, Hammamet - TUNISIA 19 th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS REUSE www.icsr2020.org The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse (ICSR) is the premier event in the field of software reuse research and technology. The main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 19th International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse (ICSR-2020) will be held on November 9-11 2020, in Hammamet, Tunisia. The guiding theme of this edition is: *Reuse in emerging software engineering practices* We invite submissions on new and innovative research results and industrial experience reports dealing with all aspects of software reu se within the context of the modern software development landscape, characterized by: 1) Large ecosystems of reusable, open-source components and service-oriented, containerized cloud-hosted applications; 2) Context-aware (IoT) applications, which combine a complex and heterogeneous mix of ever more powerful hardware and evolving software frameworks and containers; and 3) The resurgence of AI as both, (i) an enabling technology for reuse for domain engineering (e.g. domain ontologies, identification of reusable assets) and application engineering (e.g. component retrieval), and (ii) an object of reuse that addresses the full lifecycle and scope of “intelligent” software components, i.e. well beyond the simple (re)use of machine learning libraries. These developments have had important—and sometimes contradictory—effects on reuse theory and practice. We welcome papers dealing with : 1) Reuse organizational, managerial, economic, and legal issues, in general, and as they pertain to the new development landscape, 2) Technical aspects of reuse, in general (see full CFP at www.icsr2020.org), and as they pertain to large ecosystems of open-source libraries (npm, pip, etc), IoT frameworks, and machine learning artefacts (business components, models, libraries, training data, etc.), and 3) Software reuse in industry (success & failure stories; success factors and lessons learned; ROI studies). As with previous editions, accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, to be published by Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science. New in this edition, the program committee will award a Best Paper Award to the best paper in terms of, 1) originality, 2) presentation, and 3) impact. The finalists will be submitted to a special issue of a refereed journal. *Research paper abstracts due June 19th, 2020, full papers due July 3rd, 2020*. *Satellite Events* Along with the main technical program, this year's edition will hold the following satellite events: 1) workshops, 2) tutorials, 3) a doctoral symposium, 4) a graduate student "job fair" to help connect qualified prospective graduate students with ICSR researchers, and 5) a "Tools and Posters" session for sharing emerging research directions and live tool demonstrations and exposing new research ideas. We welcome proposals for workshops and tutorials, and submissions for the doctoral symposium and the "Tools/Poster" session, by August 31st, 2020. *Venue* The conference will be held at the "Diar Lemdina" hotel and conference center, located in Andalusian-style old town of beautiful Yasmine Hammamet, Tunisia's seaside resort (nicknamed Tunisia's "Cote D'Azur"), with plenty of walking distance tourist attractions around the hotel. Tunisia has a temperature weather, and the day highs in November in Hammamet are around 20 deg C (70 deg. F), with a sea temperature of 21 deg C. *Please check the conference site for more information: www.icsr2020.org*
