> The fourth biennial conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK
> 2023) (http://2023.ldk-conf.org) and Cost Action CA18209
> _NexusLinguarum_ (https://nexuslinguarum.eu) are glad to announce the
> second workshop _Discourse studies and linguistic data science:
> Addressing challenges in interoperability, multilinguality and
> linguistic data processing_ - DiSLiDaS 2023.
>
> Conference aims and topics
>
> The workshop aims to follow through the topics discussed during
> DiSLiDaS 2022 (https://dislidas.mozajka.co/?page_id=211) and to gather
> current research advances in discourse analysis and representation, in
> the context of multilinguality, from a linguistic and computational
> perspective. We invite submissions addressing challenges such as
> interoperability, linguistic linked open data (LLOD), and language
> processing and analysis.
>
> The workshop topics are the following (but not limited to):
>
> * Discourse and dialogue annotation: Parsing and representation across
> languages and frameworks
> * Discourse markers and discourse relations (RST, PDTB, SDRT):
> Identification, prediction and extraction
> * Attitudes discovery and interpretation in Discourse: Appraisal and
> sentiment
> * Effects of multimodality on discourse interpretation: Intonation,
> gesture and text
> * Interoperability for Multilingual language data: Challenges of rich
> and distributed data
> * Discourse data and machine learning: Methods and tools
>
> Discourse comprises a wide variety of linguistic phenomena, such as
> discourse markers, discourse relations, and speaker attitude, which
> have been largely studied by different communities of practice from
> Linguistics and Computation, rendering several theoretical frameworks
> (for instance, RST, SDRT, PDTB, for discourse relations; appraisal
> theory for sentiment analysis,...), and technological approaches, such
> as transformer models, embeddings and alike. Nonetheless, there are
> open issues concerning interoperability, multilinguality, and language
> processing, in particular, the existence of different annotation
> schemas, disambiguation, lack of training data for machine learning,
> scarcity of effective language phenomena detection and interpretation
> methods, diverse vocabularies, insufficient multilingual parallel
> corpora of non-dialogue and dialogue, initial stages of exploration of
> multimodality.
>
> Discourse research is one of the central research areas of natural
> language processing (NLP) too. NLP research focuses on the
> formalisation, identification and discovery of semantic phenomena,
> dialogue exchange structure, and text coherence. Some of the
> technological approaches of NLP include the use of transformer models,
> word embeddings, linguistic linked open data, the constitution of
> aligned multilingual corpora, vocabularies of language phenomena and
> alike. Computational discourse explores the evidence that language
> consists not only of placing words in the right order but also of
> detecting and interpreting the meaning and deeper textual relations and
> organising ideas into a logical flow. The linguistic approaches study
> language phenomena referring to coherence and cohesiveness of
> discourse, lexical, phrasal, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic means to
> express discourse relations, represent their roles and build language
> resources for them.
>
> Despite all the advances, there are still plenty of unresolved problems
> related to interoperability, multilinguality, and language processing.
> With the growth of the Semantic Web and Linguistic Linked Data,
> interoperability is key to reading, interpreting and adopting language
> resources. The existence of different annotation schemas to encode
> discourse relations constitutes a problem for data exchange and reuse
> and for theoretical consistency. The treatment of multilinguality is
> also complicated because of the insufficiency of multilingual parallel
> corpora of collections of non-dialogue and dialogue texts, which would
> allow systematic contrastive studies. As to language processing, the
> lack of training data for machine learning, coupled with the scarcity
> of effective language phenomena detection and interpretation methods,
> the coexistence of diverse vocabularies, and the minimal attention to
> the contribution of the tone of voice, intonation, gestures to the
> meaning and the informative value of discourse elements make the task
> of discourse processing still very challenging.
>
> The workshop intends to be a discussion forum for researchers
> interested in addressing the aforementioned challenges and advancing
> the state-of-art in discourse studies and linguistic data science.
>
> Programme
>
> The Scientific Programme will include one invited talk and oral
> presentations.

> Invited Speaker

> Johan Bos, University of Groningen
>
> Submissions
>
> Submissions can be in the form of:
>
> * long papers: 9-12 pages;
> * short papers: 4-6 pages.
>
> All submission lengths are given including references. Accepted
> submissions will be published by ACL in an open-access conference
> proceedings volume, free of charge for authors. The ACL templates [1]
> should therefore be used for all conference submissions. As the
> reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be
> anonymised.
>
> The workshop will be hybrid (face-to-face and remote). Note that at
> least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the
> paper at the workshop (either remotely or on-site). There will be no
> registration fee administered for participating in DiSLiDaS 2023.
>
> Submissions must be submitted electronically via _EasyChair_:
