[iva] SIGDIAL/INLG 2023: Second Call for Workshop & Tutorial Proposals (Submit by March 24)

[Svetlana Stoyanchev]

The 24th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and
Dialogue (SIGDial 2023) and the 16th International Natural Language
Generation Conference (INLG 2023) will be held jointly in Prague on
September 11-15, 2023. We now welcome the submission of workshop and
tutorial proposals, which will take place on September 11 and 12 before the
main conference.

We encourage submissions of proposals on any topic of interest to the
discourse, dialogue, and natural language generation communities. This
program is intended to offer new perspectives and bring together
researchers working on related topics. We especially encourage the sessions
that would bring together researchers from SIGDial and INLG communities.

Topics of interest include all aspects related to Dialogue, Discourse and
Generation including (but not limited to) annotation and resources,
evaluation, large language models, adversarial and RL methods,
explainable/ethical AI, summarization,
interactive/multimodal/situated/incremental systems,
data/knowledge/vision-to-text, and applications of dialogue and NLG.

The proposed workshops/tutorials may include a poster session, a panel
session, an oral presentation session, a hackathon, a generation/dialogue
challenge, or a combination of the above. Workshop organizers will be
responsible for soliciting, reviewing, and selecting papers or abstracts.
The workshop papers will be published in a separate proceedings. Workshops
may, at the discretion of the SIGDial/INLG organizers, be held as parallel
sessions.

Submissions

Workshop and Tutorial proposals should be 2-4 pages containing:  title,
type (workshop or tutorial), a summary of the topic, motivating theoretical
interest and/or application context; a list of organizers and sponsors;
duration (half-day or full-day), and a requested session format(s):
poster/panel/oral/hackathon session. Please include the number of expected
attendees. The workshop proposals will be reviewed jointly by the general
chair and program co-chairs.
