====== Call for abstracts, UniDive 2nd general meeting, University of Naples L’Orientale, Italy, 7-9 February 2024 ====== [[https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21167/|UniDive]] is a COST action, i.e. a scientific network, dedicated to universality, diversity and idiosyncrasy in language technology. It is structured around 4 Working Groups: * WG1: Corpus annotation * WG2: Lexicon-corpus interface * WG3: Multilingual and cross-lingual language technology * WG4: Quantifying and promoting diversity The [[meetings:general_meetings:2nd_unidive_general_meeting|second general meeting]] of the action will take place on **February 7-9, 2024** at the **University of Naples L’Orientale** in Italy. We invite UniDive WG members to submit abstract proposals related to the scientific program of the WGs. Proposals may describe diverse types of contributions, according to 3 different tracks: * Planned work * Work in progress * Complete work, also previously published A proposal should be **anonymous**, written in English and submitted in **pdf** only. It should include (on the title page) the list of the **relevant WGs**. It should not exceed **2 pages**, including figures and tables (bibliographic references may go beyond the 2-page limit). If **linguistic examples** from languages other than English are included, those should be glossed and translated into English, and an **extra half page** is allowed for this purpose. For the sake of uniformity and easing the reviewers’ effort, we encourage authors to use the [[https://www.overleaf.com/read/yqbpxcbjmjjw|Overleaf Latex template]]. Other formats (not necessarily Latex-based) can also be used, provided that they conform to the following specifications: A4 paper, 11pt font, 1in margins. The submission link will be announced soon. The submission link is: https://openreview.net/group?id=UniDive/2024/General_Meeting The reviewing process is double-blind. The selection of proposals will be done by UniDive Program Committee according to the following criteria: * relevance to UniDive and the work program of its Working Groups (see pp. 18-20 of the Memorandum of Understanding), * clarity * diversity of the languages covered by the workshop program The selected proposals will be presented at the 2nd UniDive general meeting as posters and/or oral presentations.
