This is due to scheduling differences between COLING and the ACL conferences in 2025. COLING is happening much earlier than the *ACL conferences, which makes it impractical to coordinate a joint call. However, we anticipate a return to joint workshop calls in the future. IMPORTANT DATES All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-11:00 (“anywhere on Earth”). Proposal submission due May 31, 2024 Notification of acceptance June 30, 2024 COLING-2025 Workshops January 19-20, 2025 COLING-2025 conference January 21-24, 2025 SUBMISSION INFORMATION Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents. Note that submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers shortly after the notification. The proposals should be at most two pages long for the main proposal, with additional two pages permitted for information about organisers, tentative program committee, and references. Hence, the entire proposal should not exceed FOUR pages in length, excluding references. Please note that workshops should either be 100% in-person or 100% virtual; hybrid formats will not be allowed. For in-person workshops, at least one workshop organiser should be physically present to run the workshop at COLING. More information about the CFW submission can be found on the website: https://coling2025.org/calls/workshop_proposals/ CONTACT For any questions related to the workshop proposals only, please send your email to coling2025-programchairs(a)googlegroups.com Please do not email the workshop chairs directly.

Call for short papers - DAAfrica 2024 - Bejaia, Algeria
by Mathieu ROCHE 23 May '24

23 May '24

============================================================= Call for short papers DAAfrica - Workshop on Data Science for Agriculture in Africa November 23, 2024 Bejaia, Algeria (hybrid) Event affiliated with CARI’2024 Workshop supported by ASDS, #DigitAg and the MOOD project ============================================================= === SCOPE === Data science in agriculture has evolved with the accessibility of data by farmers that allow them to analyze and facilitate decision making. Today new technology like Internet of Things (IoT) enables us to collect and store farm and environmental data (e.g. soil data, water data, etc.) in dedicated databases and/or data warehouses. This agricultural data can be combined with other data sources (e.g. remote sensing, weather stations, web and social media, etc.) that need to address new challenges like ingestion of heterogeneous data. Data science in agriculture aims to explore and mine agricultural data using different techniques like machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, text-mining, large language models (LLM), etc. For instance, data science can predict crop yields and plant and animal diseases with different variables, including rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and soil conditions by using a variety of data (e.g. sensor data, texts, satellite images, plant images, etc.). So, agriculture professionals and decision-makers can use data science to provide information and knowledge in order to make decisions about agricultural activities in Africa. === TOPICS OF INTEREST === The topics of the workshop encompass all aspects concerning the intersection of data science and agriculture in Africa with different applications: - Smart Farming - Yield and production - Plant specie identification - Land cover monitoring - Crop recommendation - Crop monitoring & forecasting - Animal and plant health monitoring - Water management - Food safety & security - Agroecology - etc. === SUBMISSIONS === Researchers, academics, and students working on the field of data science with application in agriculture in Africa are invited to submit short papers for oral presentations or posters. Submitted abstracts must be in English and will be reviewed by the workshop committees for suitability and interest to the DAAfrica audience. The authors can submit papers of unpublished work reporting original and early results, introducing new ideas or describing prototypes. Every accepted submission must have at least one author registered for the workshop. All submitted extended abstracts must follow the LNCS format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) with a page limit of up to 6 pages including the title page, figures, references, and an optional appendix. The abstracts should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair via the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=daafrica2024 Accepted extended abstract will be published as CEUR proceedings. Selected contributions will be invited to submit full papers to ARIMA Journal (indexed by DBLP and DOAJ) for a peer-review according to its usual reviewing process. === IMPORTANT DATES === - Submission deadline: July 31, 2024 - Notification to authors: September 23, 2024 - Workshop date: November 23, 2024 === PARTICIPATION === The workshop will be held in Bejaia, Algeria, as an event affiliated to CARI’2024 (https://www.cari-info.org). This workshop will be a hybrid event that combines a "live" in-person event with a "virtual" online component. Further information related to registration is available on the ASDS website: https://asds.africa/daafrica2024 === WORKSHOP CHAIRS === - Paulin Melatagia, University of Yaoundé I, Cameroun - Mathieu Roche, CIRAD, UMR TETIS, France

by antonela.tommasel＠isistan.unicen.edu.ar 22 May '24

22 May '24

** Abstract deadline May 27th ** ** Five days to go ** =============== =============== * We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://cikm2024.org/call-for-resource-papers/ =============== CIKM 2024: 33rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management Boise, Idaho, USA October 21–25, 2024 =============== The Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) is a premier forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government bodies to share technologies and state-of-the-art research on the emerging aspects of artificial intelligence, data mining, data management, and information retrieval. The resource track at CIKM 2024 provides a unique opportunity to researchers to share and highlight their latest technologies that enable intelligent decision-making, predictive analytics, and machine learning. -------------------------- Key Dates -------------------------- * Resource Papers abstract: 27 May 2024 * Resource Papers: 3 June 2024 * Resource Papers notifications: 16 July 2024 * Camera Ready: 8 August 2024 (All deadlines are at 11:59 pm AOE) -------------------------- Topics of Interest -------------------------- We welcome submissions on all topics in the general areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. An ideal resource paper’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Data resources comprising a new and innovative dataset or protocol, or one created using novel methods and/or algorithms * Data resources labelled using novel and well-described annotation and/or crowdsourcing approaches * Software resources to support research on novel application domains or support novel evaluation or benchmark tasks * Software resources such as prototypes and services, open source frameworks, or tools and libraries which support computing, visualization, evaluation and other exploration tasks in data science, data engineering, or information & knowledge management -------------------------- Paper Submissions -------------------------- Recourse papers must be no more than 4 pages long including appendices, plus unlimited pages for references. Supplementary material: It is allowed to cite supplementary materials including source code, videos, datasets, and demonstration prototypes that are accessible via online platforms like GitHub. Reviewers have the discretion to decide whether or not they will review such materials. The review of the resource papers will be single-blind, which means that the authors should include their names and affiliations in the paper. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee of the Resource track, who will evaluate the novelty of the technical features and/or research being presented, the research and/or development challenges, its expected impact, and its timeliness and relevance for the CIKM audience of practitioners and researchers. Manuscripts should be submitted to CIKM 2024’s Easychair page in PDF format using the ACM’s two-column template “sigconf”, see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. All papers should be submitted via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cikm24 Papers that include text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, are prohibited unless this produced text is presented as a part of the paper’s experimental analysis. AI tools may be used to edit and polish authors’ work, such as using LLMs for light editing of their text (e.g., automate grammar checks, word autocorrect, and other editing of author-written text), but text “produced entirely” by generative/AI models is not allowed. -------------------------- Authorship Policy -------------------------- Before paper submission, authors should carefully review ACM’s authorship policy, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-particip… At least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the work at the conference. -------------------------- Guidelines and review rubric for Resource papers -------------------------- Papers presenting a dataset or a benchmark must publish the datasets and metadata using a dataset-sharing service (e.g., Zenodo, Datorium, Dataverse, or any other dataset-sharing service that indexes your dataset and metadata and increase the re-findability of the data) that provides a DOI for the dataset, which should be included in the dataset paper submission. Ethical considerations must be discussed. Authors are encouraged to include a description of how they intend to make their datasets FAIR. We would also encourage authors to consider addressing the questions covered in the Datasheets for Datasets recommendations. For papers detailing code resources, such as libraries, external tools, frameworks, etc., it is imperative that authors adhere to rigorous standards in code sharing and ethical considerations. Specifically, authors should ensure that their code resources are made publicly available through reputable, code-sharing platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or similar services that facilitate code access and enhance code reusability, thereby ensuring transparency and reproducibility. We advocate for the incorporation of best practices in code documentation and versioning, urging authors to provide comprehensive documentation covering code functionalities, dependencies, and potential limitations, fostering transparency and usability in research practices. The reviewing guidelines for the resource paper track will focus on the following criteria: * Novelty: - What is new about this resource? - Does the resource represent an incremental advance or something more dramatic? * Availability: - Is the resource available to the reviewer at the time of review? - Are there discrepancies between what is described and what is available? - Are the licensing/terms of use sufficiently open to allow most academic and industry researchers access to the resource? - If the resource is data collected from people, do appropriate human subjects control board (IRB) procedures appear to have been followed and included in the repo? * Utility: - Is the resource well documented? What level of expertise do you expect is required to make use of the resource? - Are there tutorials or examples? Do they resemble actual uses, or are they toy examples? - If the resource is data, are appropriate tools provided for loading that data? - If the resource is data, are the provenance (source, pre-processing, cleaning, aggregation) stages clearly documented? * Predicted Impact: - What CIKM research activity is enabled by the availability of this resource? - Does the resource advance a well-established research area or a brand new one? - Do you expect that this resource will be useful for a long time, or will it need to be curated or updated? If the latter, is that planned? - How large is the (anticipated) research user community? Will that grow or shrink in the next few years? -------------------------- Ethics of Resource Type Papers -------------------------- Resources are expected to be available as described, where “available” means that most researchers in our community could obtain and make use of the resource without strongly limiting the research they can perform with it. Datasets are expected to be collected in accordance with institutional review board standards and ACM standards of ethics. Reviewers are instructed not to use their reviews as an advocacy platform for these issues but to do what they can to help authors bring their resources to fruition. -------------------------- Disclosure of Competing Interests -------------------------- Disclosure of funding and competing interests: Authors are required to provide an explicit disclosure of funding (financial activities supporting the submitted work) and competing interests (related financial activities outside the submitted work) that could result in conflicts of interest in a section (e.g., “Acknowledgments”) that should be added in the submitted version for review. -------------------------- Dual Submission Policy -------------------------- It is not allowed to submit papers that are identical (or substantially similar) to versions that have been previously published or accepted for publication or that have been submitted in parallel to other conferences (or any venue with published proceedings). Such submissions violate our dual-submission policy. However, submissions are permitted for papers presented or to be presented at conferences or workshops without proceedings or with only abstracts published. Authors may also submit work already available as a preprint (e.g., in arXiv). -------------------------- Desk Rejection Policy -------------------------- Submissions that fail to adhere to the length, or formatting requirements, or violate ACM’s policies on academic dishonesty—such as plagiarism, author misrepresentation, or falsification—may be subject to desk rejection by the chairs. -------------------------- ACM Policy Against Harassment -------------------------- All authors and participants must adhere to the ACM’s discrimination policy.
