Creative AI, training generative deep neural networks for NLP (such as poems, Haiku, stories), image (such as painting, animation), and speech (such as classic and popular music generation, singing), has achieved impressive milestones during recent years, thanks to deep networks such as attentive encoder-decoder architectures (Transformers), generative-discriminative frameworks (GANs) and self-supervised encoders (VAEs). On the other hand, conversational AI products, text and speech based multi-modal communication between chatbots and human beings, have obtained million-level users in Japan and globally. In order to construct the strong persona of conversational AI products, chatbots are enhanced to be able to interactively write poems, create songs, sing, and even tell stories, through multi-turn communications. Furthermore, QA-style and IR-oriented chatbots of general domains and vertical domains such as finance, healthcare and even emotional pure-chatting are also requiring generative, creative and explainable AI models to support the multi-modal and multi-turn interactions with human beings. In this workshop, we are aiming at collecting, sharing, and discussing state-of-the-art research on creative AI and conversational AI, empowered by large-scale open datasets, open-source architectures, and distributed GPU platforms.

Most importantly, with creative AI combined with conversational AI, we are aiming at bringing AI to help assisting under-represented groups’ learning and communicating with the world, such as interactive music therapy, children’s painting guiding, emotional caring for social phobia and elderly cognition guarding.

Music Generation

Music Generation is a task of automatically generating music, guided by textual inputs or other types of multi-modal hint information.

Objective

– Targets: melody, polyphony, accompaniment or counterpoint.

– Usage: to be performed by a human(s) (in the case of a musical score), or by a machine (in the case of an audio file).

Architecture

–feedforward network, recurrent network, autoencoder or generative adversarial networks, Transformers and their variants.

Challenges

- variability, interactivity and creativity

For paper submission and any workshop related issues, please connect us:

cainlp2021 at gmail.com

Note: Please directly submit your PDF file to cainlp2021 at gmail.com!

Recommended format template is here (same with COLING 2022):

https://coling2022.org/Cpapers

https://coling2022.org/Submission

Style Files and Formatting

The *ACL template MUST be used for your submission(s). If not, your submission(s) will be rejected.

Both long and short papers must follow the paper formatting guidelines of *ACL conferences, using the supplied style files.
Style files are directly available (LaTeX, Word).
The Overleaf template is also available here
It is highly recommended that appendices, which are material that can be read but are not critical, should be included in a single manuscript file, coming after the references of the main paper; In this standard guideline, both the main text and appendices should appear in a `single' manuscript file, without being separately maintained. But, authors also may place an appendix in a separate supplementary file, when the size of an appendix is too long to be included in a main PDF file.
Please do not modify these style files, or use templates designed for other conferences. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles, including paper size, margin width, and font size restrictions, will be rejected without review.

Thank you very much again for preparing all the materials timely despite the urgent request!

As already published now in ACL anthology, making a correction would be more difficult.

In the case that a further revision is required, the anthology directors tell us that authors have to make a regular correction request on acl github, by taking the following guideline.
