- The deadline for registration to the task has been extended to October 1!
Text or document planning as the mechanism of ordering messages in a coherent way for achieving a cohesive text has traditionally been realized by schemas or the establishment of rhetorical relations between messages and message sequences. Inspired by the descriptions of a comprehensive set of rhetorical relations in Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), these relations have often been realized as planning operators for achieving a complete text.

DEADLINE EXTENSION - 4th Swiss Text Analytics Conference – SwissText 2019
===============================================================
Please note that we are extending the deadline for submissions to the SwissText Conference for all tracks to 10.3.2019, 23:59 (AOE - anywhere on Earth).

The goal of this workshop is to discuss new methods for language generation that address some of the recurring problems in existing language generation techniques (eg. bland, repetitive language) as well as novel techniques for robustly evaluating and interpreting model output.
We are accepting papers in the following areas:
- Novel architectures and new approaches to training models:
Beyond maximum likelihood training (eg: risk loss, reinforcement learning objectives, variational approaches, adversarial training, pretrained discriminators, other novel loss functions), unsupervised, weakly supervised, and semi-supervised language generation, editing models, mixing neural and template-based generation, human-in-the-loop learning, beyond teacher-forcing (beam search during training, non-autoregressive generation).
- Evaluation:
New automatic metrics for evaluating different characteristics of coherent language, evaluation using pretrained models, proposing better human evaluation strategies.
- Generalization:
Transfer learning (unsupervised pre-training for generation, low-resource generation, domain adaptation), multi-task learning, model distillation.
- Analysis:
Model analysis, interpretability and/or visualizations, error analysis of machine-generated language, analysis of evaluation metrics, benefits/drawbacks of different loss functions.
SIGNLL, the Association for Computational Linguistics’ Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning, invites you to submit your papers to CoNLL 2018 (October 31 – November 1, 2018) in Brussels, Belgium.
Topics
We invite the submission of papers on all aspects of computational approaches to natural language learning, including, but not limited to:
Call for Workshop Proposals @ INLG 2018
Call for Workshop Proposals
For the third time since its inception, the International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG) will this year include independently organised workshops. These will take place after or immediately prior to the main conference (November 4 or 8).
The INLG organisers invite further proposals for one-day or half-day workshops at INLG 2018.
Final Call for papers: Workshop “Computational Models of Language Generation and Processing in Pragmatics” (CoMPrag2018)
The workshop “Computational Models of Language Generation and Processing in Pragmatics” will take place at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, on September 26-28, 2018.
