<div>The SIG was officially approved on Dec, 28 2019. As of July 2025, the total number of members has reached 513. We are planning to hold a membership drive to further promote growth within the SIG.<br />
<br />
== Workshop ==<br />
<br />
In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers). <br />
<br />
In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational research in linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.<br />
<br />
In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.<br />
<br />
In July 2022, we organized the fourth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2022 that took place in Seattle). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2022-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to the NAACL 2022 workshop chairs, ~70 ACL members registered for the workshop. According to our records, there were about 60-70 participants in the in-person part, and ~60 unique participants attended the virtual session.<br />
<br />
In May 2023, we organized the fifth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with EACL 2023 that took place in Dubrovnik). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2023-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~60 participants in the in-person part, and ~20-30 unique participants attended the virtual session.<br />
<br />
In March 2024, we organized the sixth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with EACL 2024 that took place in Malta). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2024-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~50 participants in the in-person part, and ~30 participants attended the virtual session.<br />
<br />
In July 2025, we organized the seventh (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with ACL 2025 that took place in Austria). The workshop was also co-located with FieldMatters (computational approaches to field linguistics). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2025-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~60 participants in total.<br />

'''SIGTYP website and logo'''<br />
<br />
We developed SIG’s website ([https://sigtyp.github.io]). It is constantly being updated with new information on workshops, shared tasks, members, and other information. We also designed a group’s logo: [https://sigtyp.github.io/logo.html] <br />
<br />
'''SIGTYP Lecture Series ([https://sigtyp.github.io/lectures.html])'''<br />
<br />
In 2021, every week we invite a speaker either from NLP or linguistic typology to present their research. We pre-record the talk in four ~15min parts and then play them having live discussions after each.<br />
For this purpose, we created our own Youtube and Bilibili (China) channels.<br />

'''SIGTYP website and logo'''<br />
<br />
We developed SIG’s website ([https://sigtyp.github.io]). It is constantly being updated with new information on workshops, shared tasks, members, and other information. We also designed a group’s logo: [https://sigtyp.github.io/logo.html] <br />
<br />
'''SIGTYP Lecture Series ([https://sigtyp.github.io/lectures.html])'''<br />
<br />
IN 2021, every week we invite a speaker either from NLP or linguistic typology to present their research. We pre-record the talk in four ~15min parts and then play them having live discussions after each.<br />
For this purpose, we created our own Youtube and Bilibili (China) channels.<br />

<br />
== Workshop ==<br />
<br />
In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers). <br />
<br />
In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational research in linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.<br />
<br />
In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.<br />
<br />
In July 2022, we organized the fourth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2022 that took place in Seattle). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2022-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to the NAACL 2022 workshop chairs, ~70 ACL members registered for the workshop. According to our records, there were about 60-70 participants in the in-person part, and ~60 unique participants attended the virtual session.<br />
<br />
In May 2023, we organized the fifth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with EACL 2023 that took place in Dubrovnik). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2023-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~60 participants in the in-person part, and ~20-30 unique participants attended the virtual session.<br />

'''SIGTYP website and logo'''<br />
<br />
We developed SIG’s website ([https://sigtyp.github.io]). It is constantly being updated with new information on workshops, shared tasks, members, and other information. We also designed a group’s logo: [https://sigtyp.github.io/logo.html] <br />
<br />
'''SIGTYP Lecture Series ([https://sigtyp.github.io/lectures.html])'''<br />
<br />
IN 2021, every week we invite a speaker either from NLP or linguistic typology to present their research. We pre-record the talk in four ~15min parts and then play them having live discussions after each.<br />
For this purpose, we created our own Youtube and Bilibili (China) channels.<br />

== Membership ==<br />
<br />
The SIG was officially approved on Dec, 28 2019. As of July 2022, the total number of members has reached 436. We are planning to hold a membership drive to further promote growth within the SIG.<br />
<br />
== Workshop ==<br />
<br />
In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers). <br />
In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational research in linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.<br />
In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.<br />
In July 2022, we organized the fourth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2022 that took place in Seattle). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2022-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to the NAACL 2022 workshop chairs, ~70 ACL members registered for the workshop. According to our records, there were about 60-70 participants in the in-person part, and ~60 unique participants attended the virtual session.<br />

== Shared Tasks ==<br />
<br />
In 2022, SIGTYP offered a shared task on the prediction of cognate reflexes. In the task, we addressed one major task in historical linguistics: given cognates sets sets across languages, reconstruct missing entries (mainly relying on regular sound correspondences). Our data was taken from the Lexibank repository which offers wordlists from 100 standardized datasets (List et al. 2021. In the repository, a larger collection of datasets come with cognate sets provided by experts and with phonetic transcriptions which were standardized by the Lexibank team. Our development data, which users should use to test and design their models, consisted of 10 CLDF datasets of varying size, language families, and time depths. <br />

== Shared Tasks ==<br />
<br />
In 2021, SIGTYP offered a shared task on the robust prediction of language ID from speech. In the task, we addressed one major issue: for many low-resource and endangered languages, only single-speaker recordings may be available. Therefore, such conditions require domain and speaker-invariant language ID systems. We asked the participants to build systems that will be trained on largely single-speaker speech from one domain, but evaluated on data in other domains recorded from speakers under different recording circumstances, mimicking more realistic low-resource scenarios. In total, 3 teams participated in the task. The results demonstrate that the task is challenging.<br />

<div>== Summary ==<br />
<br />
SIGTYP is ACL's special interest group on computational approaches to linguistic typology.<br />
<br />
President: Ekaterina Vylomova<br />
<br />
Secretary: Ryan Cotterell<br />
<br />
At Large: Eitan Grossman, Edoardo M. Ponti, Silvia Luraghi, Alexis Palmer<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
<br />
The SIG was officially approved on Dec, 28 2019. As of July 2021, the total number of members has reached 380. We are planning to hold a membership drive to further promote growth within the SIG.<br />
<br />
== Workshop ==<br />
<br />
In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers). <br />
In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational research in linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.<br />
In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.<br />
<br />

Organizers of the SIGTYP 2021 workshop:<br />
Ekaterina Vylomova, Elizabeth Salesky, Sabrina Mielke, Gabriella Lapesa, Ritesh Kumar, Harald Hammarström, Ivan Vulić, Anna Korhonen, Roi Reichart, Edoardo Maria Ponti, Ryan Cotterell<br />
<br />
Keynote Speakers:<br />
Claire Bowern, Miryam de Lhoneux, Johannes Bjerva, David Yarowsky<br />
<br />
Proceedings: https://aclanthology.org/volumes/2021.sigtyp-1/<br />
<br />
== Shared Tasks ==<br />
<br />
In 2021, SIGTYP offered a shared task on the robust prediction of language ID from speech. In the task, we addressed one major issue: for many low-resource and endangered languages, only single-speaker recordings may be available. Therefore, such conditions require domain and speaker-invariant language ID systems. We asked the participants to build systems that will be trained on largely single-speaker speech from one domain, but evaluated on data in other domains recorded from speakers under different recording circumstances, mimicking more realistic low-resource scenarios. In total, 3 teams participated in the task. The results demonstrate that the task is challenging.<br />
<br />
Organizers of the 2021 Shared Task:<br />

<br />
'''SIGTYP website and logo'''<br />
<br />
We developed SIG’s website ([https://sigtyp.github.io]). It is constantly being updated with new information on workshops, shared tasks, members, and other information. We also designed a group’s logo: [https://sigtyp.github.io/logo.html] <br />
<br />
'''SIGTYP Lecture Series ([https://sigtyp.github.io/lectures.html])'''<br />
<br />
Every week we invite a speaker either from NLP or linguistic typology to present their research. We pre-record the talk in four ~15min parts and then play them having live discussions after each.<br />
For this purpose, we created our own Youtube and Bilibili (China) channels.<br />

<br />
'''Twitter account ([https://twitter.com/sig_typ])'''<br />
<br />
We engage more members by keeping our Twitter account constantly updated with retweets of recent papers, talks, and other materials on linguistic typology, multilinguality, and low-resource NLP. As of July 2021, we have 879 followers.<br />
<br />
Managers:<br />
Ekaterina Vylomova, Ryan Cotterell, Joe Brucker, Edoardo M Ponti<br />
<br />
'''Mailing Lists'''<br />
<br />
We created organizational structure for SIGTYP, e.g. Google groups for: 1) SIGTYP members; 2) SIGTYP Exec; 3) SIGTYP shared task organizers. <br />

In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers). <br />
In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational research in linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.<br />
In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.<br />

== Shared Tasks ==<br />
<br />
In 2021, SIGTYP offered a shared task on the robust prediction of language ID from speech. In the task, we addressed one major issue: for many low-resource and endangered languages, only single-speaker recordings may be available. Therefore, such conditions require domain and speaker-invariant language ID systems. We asked the participants to build systems that will be trained on largely single-speaker speech from one domain, but evaluated on data in other domains recorded from speakers under different recording circumstances, mimicking more realistic low-resource scenarios. In total, 3 teams participated in the task. The results demonstrate that the task is challenging.<br />

<div>== Summary ==<br />
<br />
SIGTYP is ACL's special interest group on linguistic typology.<br />
<br />
President: Ekaterina Vylomova<br />
<br />
Secretary: Ryan Cotterell<br />
<br />
At Large: Eitan Grossman, Edoardo M. Ponti, Silvia Luraghi, Alexis Palmer<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
<br />
The SIG was officially approved on Dec, 28 2019. In July 2021, the total number of members has reached 380. We are planning to hold a membership drive to further promote growth within the SIG.<br />
<br />
== Workshop ==<br />
<br />
In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers). <br />
In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational approaches to linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.<br />
In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational approaches to linguistic typology (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Organizers of 2021 workshop:<br />
Ekaterina Vylomova, Elizabeth Salesky, Sabrina Mielke, Gabriella Lapesa, Ritesh Kumar, Harald Hammarström, Ivan Vulić, Anna Korhonen, Roi Reichart, Edoardo Maria Ponti, Ryan Cotterell<br />
<br />
Keynote Speakers:<br />
Claire Bowern, Miryam de Lhoneux, Johannes Bjerva, David Yarowsky<br />
<br />
== Shared Tasks ==<br />
<br />
In 2021, SIGTYP offered a shared task on the robust prediction of language ID from speech. In the task, we addressed one major issue: for many low-resource and endangered languages, only single-speaker recordings may be available. Therefore, such conditions require domain and speaker-invariant language ID systems. We asked the participants to build systems that will be trained on largely single-speaker speech from one domain, but evaluated on data in other domains recorded from speakers under different recording circumstances, mimicking more realistic low-resource scenarios. In total, 3 teams participated in the task. Th results demonstrate that the task is challenging.<br />

'''SIGTYP website and logo'''<br />
<br />
We developed SIG’s website ([https://sigtyp.github.io]). It is constantly being updated with new information on workshops, shared tasks, members, and other information. We also designed a group’s logo: [https://sigtyp.github.io/logo.html] <br />
<br />
'''SIGTYP Lecture Series ([https://sigtyp.github.io/lectures.html])'''<br />
Every week we invite a speaker either from NLP or linguistic typology to present their research. We pre-record the talk in four ~15min parts and then play them having live discussions after each.<br />
For this purpose, we created our own Youtube and Bilibili (China) channels:<br />

== Shared Tasks ==<br />
<br />
In 2020, SIGTYP offered a shared task on the prediction of typological features using WALS data. In the task, we addressed one major issue with WALS: the sparsity and skewness of its feature annotations. We asked the participants to build systems that utilize correlations between features and similarity between languages to make predictions about which features held-out languages have. In total, 5 teams participated in the task. We are currently processing their results. <br />
