Présentation Générale

MaDICS est un Groupement de Recherche (GDR) du CNRS créé en 2015. Il propose un écosystème pour promouvoir et animer des activités de recherche interdisciplinaires en Sciences des Données. Il est un forum d’échanges et d’accompagnement pour les acteurs scientifiques et non-scientifiques (industriels, médiatiques, culturels,…) confrontés aux problèmes du Big Data et des Sciences des données.
Pour en savoir plus…


Les activités de MaDICS sont structurées à travers des Actions et Ateliers. Les Actions rassemblent les acteurs d’une thématique précise pendant une durée limitée (entre deux et quatre ans). La création d’une Action est précédée par un ou plusieurs Ateliers qui permettent de consolider les thématiques et les objectifs de l’action à venir.


Le site de MaDICS propose plusieurs outils de support et de communication ouverts à la communauté concernée par les Sciences des Données:

  • Manifestations MaDICS : Le GDR MaDICS labellise des Manifestations comme des conférences, workshops ou écoles d’été. Toute demande de labellisation est évaluée par le Comité de Direction du GDR. Une labellisation rend possible un soutien financier pour les jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs. Une labellisation peut aussi être accompagnée d’une demande de soutien financier pour des missions d’intervenants ou de participants à la manifestation.
    Pour en savoir plus…
  • Réseaux MaDICS : pour mieux cibler les activités d’animation de la recherche liées à la formation et à l’innovation, le GDR MaDICS a mis en place un Réseau Formation destiné à divers publics (jeunes chercheurs, formation continue,…), un Réseau Innovation pour faciliter et intensifier la diffusion des recherches en Big Data, Sciences des Données aux acteurs industriels et un Club de Partenaires qui soutiennent et participent aux activités du GDR.

1-st Call for Participation – SimpleText Track @ CLEF-2022
Apr 22 all-day

Date : 2022-04-22

Context
The web and social media have democratized information sharing and have become the main source of information for citizens, risking users to rely on shallow information in sources prioritizing commercial or political incentives rather than the correctness and informational value. Non-experts tend to avoid scientific literature due to its complex language, internal vernacular, or their lack of prior background knowledge. Text simplification approaches hold the promise to remove some of these barriers. The SimpleText track is a part of the CLEF initiative which promotes the systematic evaluation of information access systems, primarily through experimentation on shared tasks. SimpleText addresses the challenges of text simplification approaches in the context of promoting scientific information access, by providing appropriate data and benchmarks. The track uses a corpus of scientific literature abstracts and popular science requests. It features three tasks.

Tasks
We invite you to submit both automatic and manual runs! Manual intervention should be reported.

* Task 1: What is in (or out)? Select passages to include in a simplified summary, given a query.

* Task 2: What is unclear? Given a passage and a query, rank terms/concepts that are required to be explained for understanding this passage (definitions, context, applications,..).

* Task 3: Rewrite this! Given a query, simplify passages from scientific abstracts.

* In addition, we welcome any other type of submission that uses our data as an open task.

How to participate
In order to participate, you should sign up at the CLEF website (https://clef2022-labs-registration.dei.unipd.it/). All team members should join the SimpleText mailing list (https://groups.google.com/g/simpletext). The data will be made available to all registered participants.

Deadlines

*Data release: February 2022

*Final guidelines: March 2022

*Run submission: 22 April 2022

*Results available: 6 May 2022

*Draft paper submission: 27 May 2022

*Camera-ready: 1 July 2022

*CLEF conference: 5-8 September 2022

Journée d’étude Mots/Machines #4: Simplification et adaptation du texte
Apr 22 all-day

Date : 2022-04-22
Lieu : Université de Bretagne Occidentale

20, rue Duquesne – CS9383729238

Brest Cedex 3, France

La simplification de textes est utilisée dans les domaines de la traduction,la localisation et la rédaction technique. La pré-édition consiste à préparer un document avant d’appliquer la traduction automatique afin d’obtenir de meilleurs résultats et de réduire la charge de travail de post-édition. C’est devenu un choix courant pour les entreprises publiant leur contenu dans différentes langues.

En outre, la simplification du texte améliore les applications de traitement automatique de la langue naturelle, notamment les résultats de la traduction automatique. Ainsi, la simplification automatique de textes pourrait s’avérer utile dans divers domaines tels que la communication scientifique, le journalisme scientifique, la politique et l’éducation, tant pour les cours de sciences que pour la didactique. La vulgarisation scientifique et le journalisme scientifique sont d’ailleurs l’un des plus anciens programmes de l’UNESCO.

Les textes simplifiés sont également plus accessibles aux locuteurs non natifs, aux jeunes lecteurs, aux personnes souffrant d’un handicap de lecture ou ayant un niveau d’éducation inférieur (objectif de développement durable INÉGALITÉ RÉDUITE).

Les textes scientifiques, tels que les publications de recherche, peuvent être difficiles à comprendre pour les non-experts du domaine ou les scientifiques qui ne sont pas concernés par la publication. L’amélioration de la compréhensibilité des textes et leur adaptation à différents publics restent un problème non résolu. La simplification de textes est un pas en avant vers la recherche réellement ouverte, accessible et compréhensible par tous, le développement d’un contre-discours aux fake news basées sur des résultats scientifiques, la possibilité s de lire plus rapidement et par conséquent, de devenir mieux informé.e sur les résultats scientifiques, notamment avec l’explosion de la science ouverte depuis le début de la pandémie actuelle de COVID-19 (objectif de développement durable ÉDUCATION DE QUALITÉ).

L’objectif de cette journée d’étude est de fournir une plateforme de communication à une communauté interdisciplinaire de chercheurs en traduction, rédaction technique, traitement du langage naturel, recherche d’information, linguistique, didactique, journalisme scientifique et vulgarisation scientifique.

[CFP] SimpleText@CLEF: Automatic Simplification of Scientific Texts
May 27 all-day

Date : 2022-05-27

Submission site : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clef2022 (track SimpleText)
CEUR-WS templates (both Word and LaTex):

Submission deadline: 27 May 2022 (AoE)
Notification of Acceptance: 13 June 2022
Camera Ready: 1 July 2022
CLEF conference: 5 – 8 September 2022, Bologna – Italy

Being science literate is an important ability for people. It is one of the keys for critical thinking, objective decision-making and judgment of the validity and significance of findings and arguments, which allows discerning facts from fiction. However, scientific texts are often hard to understand as they require solid background knowledge and use tricky terminology. Although there were some recent efforts on text simplification, removing such understanding barriers between scientific texts and general public in an automatic manner is still an open challenge. SimpleText brings together researchers and practitioners working on the generation of simplified summaries of scientific texts. All perspectives on automatic science popularisation are welcome, including but not limited to: Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Retrieval (IR), Linguistics, Scientific Journalism, etc.

We accept the following types of submissions:
– Regular papers of 10-12 standard pages length with an appropriate number of references.
– Short papers of 5-6 standard pages length with additional pages for references.
– Extended abstracts of 500-1000 words with bibliographic references. Bibliographic references are excluded from word count. Previously published papers can be accepted as extended abstracts (please, provide a reference to your previous work in this case).

Special issue Text Complexity and Simplification in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence / Natural Language Processing
Jul 2 all-day

Date : 2022-07-02

Web site: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/34050/text-complexity-and-simplification

Submission Deadlines

  • 02 July 2022 Manuscript

Context
Text complexity assessment is one of the urgent problems of our time. Many modern texts, including classroom books and legislative acts, prove to be too difficult and as such cannot cater to readers’ needs. This also applies to legal, financial, banking documents. Although the first methods of measuring text complexity were suggested over 70 years ago, the problem is far from being solved. The diversity of languages, text types and genres, as well as their audience, are major challenges for researchers. Despite the constant growth in the number of scientific publications, their complex language or the lack of scientific acculturation of users creates a tendency to avoid these sources by favoring commercial or political incentives rather than accuracy and informational value. This difficulty in reading scientific documents also exists when scientists are interested in scientific documents from disciplines other than those in which they are experts. Text simplification aims to reduce these barriers. Text simplification is used in the field of translation (pre-editing), localization and technical writing. Simplified texts are also more accessible to non-native speakers, young readers, people with reading disabilities, or with lower levels of education.

We are looking for contributions in the form of Review, Original Research, Brief Research Report, Perspective, Technology and Code etc. in the following areas, including, but not limited to:

  • application of state-of-the-art models of neural architectures to text simplification and complexity
  • understanding which features neural networks extract from texts for text simplification and complexity
  • compiling corpora annotated with complexity labels for training and testing
  • model evaluation and validation
  • description of linguistic features relevant to the assessment of the difficulty of various classes of texts
  • complex word Identification
  • evaluating the dependence on subject areas, types and genres of texts
  • text readability for foreign language learners
  • complexity of web content
  • text adaptation
  • scientific multi-document summarization
  • visualization as text simplification
  • identification of difficulties preventing the simplification and summarization of texts
  • metrics of text difficulty
  • applications in education, law, etc.
    • Keywords:
      neural networks, text, machine learning, complexity, simplification, readability
