Call for Papers: Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era (LUHME)

 

The LUHME 2024 workshop Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era is part of

the 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, ECAI 2024 (https://www.ecai2024.eu/).

This Workshop is scheduled for 20 October 2024.

 

 

Workshop description

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the development of interactional artificial intelligence (AI) systems by democratizing their use. These models have shown remarkable advancements in various applications such as conversational AI and machine translation, marking the undeniable advent of the human-machine era. However, despite their significant achievements, state-of-the-art systems still exhibit shortcomings in language understanding, raising questions about their true comprehension of human languages.

The concept of language understanding has always been contentious, as meaning-making depends not only on form and immediate meaning but also on context. Therefore, understanding natural language involves more than just parsing form and meaning; it requires access to grounding for true comprehension. Equipping language models with linguistics-grounded capabilities remains a complex task, given the importance of discourse, pragmatics, and social context in language understanding.

Understanding language is a doubly challenging task as it necessitates not only grasping the intrinsic capabilities of LLMs but also examining their impact and requirements in real-world applications. While LLMs have shown effectiveness in various applications, the lack of supporting theories raises concerns about ethical implications, particularly in applications involving human interaction.

The “Language Understanding in the Human-Machine Era” (LUHME) workshop aims to reignite the debate on the role of understanding in natural language use and its applications. It seeks to explore the necessity of language understanding in computational tasks like machine translation and natural language generation, as well as the contributions of language professionals in enhancing computational language understanding.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

·       Language understanding in LLMs

·       Language grounding

·       Psycholinguistic approaches to language understanding

·       Discourse, pragmatics and language understanding

·       Evaluation of language understanding

·       Multi-modality and language understanding

·       Socio-cultural aspects in understanding language

Reviewers will be asked to flag possible violations of relevant ethical principles. Such flagged submissions will be reviewed by a senior member of the programme committee. Authors may be required to revise their paper to include a discussion of possible ethical concerns and their mitigation.
