Call for abstracts for a round-table discussion

“Conversational AI, Language Ideologies and Language Rights: Perspectives and Experiences in Multidisciplinary Collaborations”

Discussions about difficulties and key success factors in multidisciplinary projects are happening since multidisciplinary collaborations exist, and the problems mentioned in those discussions are always the same: communication, different terminology, different theories, different methods, different approaches to knowledge creation and so on. As if researchers were not able or not willing to learn how to have a successful multidisciplinary collaboration. We want to change this! 

In the round table, we want to highlight personal perspectives of researchers involved in multidisciplinary collaborations on the intersection of conversational AI, language ideologies and language rights. We want to listen to perspectives of researchers in different career stages:

• working mainly on technology and collaborate with researchers in language ideologies and/or language rights;

• working mainly in language rights and/or language ideologies  and collaborating with researchers working mainly on technology aspects of conversational AI.

We want to listen to perspectives addressing the following three questions:

1. What are the pains and the gains of the collaborations that you want to talk about (must be related to the subject of the workshop)?

2. How does the multidisciplinary connection help you to do your work in your main subject?

3. What is your secret, how to make it successful?

Do you have anything to share on this? Then please submit your abstract till January 10, 11:59 A.M. CET to teicai2024@gmail.com

Submission format:

One page PDF document in ACL format (use of templates provided by ACL is mandatory). Templates are here: ACL Templates.

Submissions must address all three questions and make a statement from which perspective you write (career stage and main subject of the work).

Submissions must contain the name of the author.

Submissions must be individual, no group submissions are allowed (personal perspectives).

Acceptance notification deadline: January 11, 11:59 A.M CET

All accepted abstracts will be published on the workshop website.

All accepted abstracts can be also published as a personal video statement on the workshop website.

Authors of the best 5 abstracts (depending on the number of submissions) will be invited to participate in the round table onsite or online (hybrid mode).
