[rede.APPIA] LITHME WG1 invited talk: “The Perspectivist Approach to Natural Language Processing” [Feb 14, 6 pm CET | Zoom]

Henrique Lopes Cardoso
The LITHME WG1 on Computational Linguistics is organizing an invited talk session with Valerio Basile (University of Turin), to take place online via Zoom on February 14, 2022, at 6 pm CET.

Title: The Perspectivist Approach to Natural Language Processing
Abstract:
Much of contemporary Artificial Intelligence is based on supervised machine learning, a methodology that leverages large manually annotated datasets. The harmonization of the annotation, however, is often problematic, especially when highly subjective annotation tasks are performed, e.g., involving pragmatics. Discarding and averaging discordant opinions carries the risk of losing the rich knowledge coming from different annotators' perspectives.
The Perspectivist Manifesto [1] represents an effort towards preserving the disagreement in data-centered AI, while strong perspectivism [2] extends this principle to the full Natural Language Processing pipeline.
In this talk, I will present the new perspectivist paradigm, focusing on NLP, and a few recent works exploring its implications on data annotation, model evaluation, and interoperability.

OVERVIEW

Adaptive and learning agents, particularly those interacting with each other in a multi-agent setting, are becoming increasingly prominent as the size and complexity of real-world systems grows. How to adaptively control, coordinate and optimize such systems is an emerging multi-disciplinary research area at the intersection of Computer Science, Control Theory, Economics, and Biology. The ALA workshop will focus on agents and multi-agent systems which employ learning or adaptation. The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness of and interest in adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration and give a representative overview of current research in the area of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems. It aims at bringing together not only scientists from different areas of computer science but also from different fields studying similar concepts (e.g., game theory, bio-inspired control, mechanism design).

All aspects of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems are on topic for this workshop, but we will particularly encourage work that modifies established learning techniques and/or creates new learning paradigms to address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Novel combinations of reinforcement and supervised learning approaches
* Integrated learning approaches using reasoning modules like negotiation, trust, coordination, etc.
* Supervised and semi-supervised multi-agent learning
* Reinforcement learning in multi-agent systems
* Novel deep learning approaches for adaptive single and multi-agents systems
* Human-in-the-loop learning systems
* Planning and Reasoning (single and multi-agent)
* Distributed learning
* Adaptation and learning in dynamic environments
* Evolution and Co-evolution of agents in complex multi-agent environments
* Cooperative exploration
* Learning to cooperate and collaborate
* Learning trust and reputation
* Communication restrictions and their impact on multi-agent coordination
* Design of reward structure and fitness measures for coordination
* Scaling learning techniques to large systems of agents
* Emergent behavior in adaptive multi-agent systems
* Game theoretical analysis of adaptive multi-agent systems
* Neuro-control for adaptation in multi-agent systems
* Bio-inspired multi-agent systems
* Adaptive and learning agents for multi-objective decision making
* Multiple objectives in (multi-)agent systems
* Applications of adaptive and learning (multi-agent) systems to model real world complex systems

In addition to these topics, this year we are interested in exploring negative results that can serve as guidelines for early-stage researchers in the field of adaptive and learning single/multi-agent systems.

*******************************************************
SUBMISSION DETAILS

Papers can be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ala20220 

We invite submission of original work, up to 8 pages in length (excluding references) in the ACM proceedings format (i.e. following the AAMAS formatting instructions). This includes work that has been accepted as a poster/extended abstract at the AAMAS 2022 conference. Additionally, we welcome submission of preliminary results, i.e. work-in-progress, as well as visionary outlook papers that lay out directions for future research in a specific area, both up to 6 pages in length, although shorter papers are very much welcome, and will not be judged differently. Finally, we also accept recently published journal papers in the form of a 2 page abstract.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed (single-blind).Accepted work will be allocated time for poster and possibly oral presentation during the workshop. Extended versions of all original contributions at ALA 2022 will be eligible for inclusion in a special issue of the Springer journal Neural Computing and Applications (Impact Factor 5.606).

Deadline for submitting extended papers: September 15, 2022.

We look forward to receiving your submissions,

[rede.APPIA] CFP: HLPP 2022: International Symposium on International Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications

Carlos Manuel Abreu Gomes Ferreira
————— CALL FOR PAPERS —————
HLPP 2022
The 15th International Symposium on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications
Porto, Portugal, 7-8 July, 2022 hlpp2022.dcc.fc.up.pt/
———————- Aims and scope of HLPP ———————-
As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter- and intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software industry with high-level, clean and efficient tools for parallel programming. Parallel and distributed programming methodologies are currently dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism.
Since 2001 the HLPP series of workshops/symposia has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. The 15th Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications will be held in the Porto, Portugal.
—— Topics ——
HLPP 2022 invites papers on all topics in high-level parallel programming, its tools and applications including, but not limited to, the following aspects: * High-level programming, performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and tools * Declarative parallel programming methodologies * Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods * Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and implementation * Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs * Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming * Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs * High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms * High-level parallel methods for large structured and semi-structured datasets * Applications of parallel systems using high­-level languages and tools * Formal models of timing and real-time verification for parallel systems

The strict page limit for initial submission and camera-ready version is 20 pages in the aforementioned format.
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews by members of the international technical program committee. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and quality of presentation.
After the symposium the authors of the accepted papers will have ample time to revise their papers and to incorporate the potential comments and remarks of their colleagues. We expect the HLPP 2022 special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP) to appear online-first by the end of the year and the printed edition in mid-2023.
———– Proceedings ———–
Accepted papers will be distributed as informal draft proceedings during the symposium and will be published by Springer in a special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP).
