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 third general meeting of the action will take place on January 29-30, 2025. at the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics in Budapest, Hungary. 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 Overleaf Latex template. Other formats (not necessarily Latex-based) can also be used, provided that they conform to the following specifications: A4 paper, Times New Roman 11pt font, 1in margins, 2 columns, see PDF.

The final version of the accepted abstract should not exceed 2.5 pages, including figures and tables (bibliographic references may go beyond the 2.5 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. So, the final length should not exceed 3 pages (excluding references).

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 3rd UniDive general meeting as posters and/or oral presentations.

At least one author per selected proposal will be reimbursed for their travel and stay.

For the Budapest UniDive workshop, we wish an inclusive and diverse Program Committee. Anyone who feels competent in any domain of UniDive can join the Program Committee as a reviewer. To volunteer, please, fill in this form no later than the 25th of September 2024. The abstract review period will be: 3-16 October 2024. We expect no more than 3-4 abstracts of two pages each per reviewer. The more reviewers we recruit, the lower the reviewing charge.
