Hey folks!
Will the #wikimedia-ai channel be moving as well?

Subject: [Cloud] [Cloud-announce] #wikimedia-cloud IRC channel available on
libera.chat
To: <cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
TL;DR:
* The #wikimedia-cloud IRC channel is moving from Freenode to Libera.Chat.
* Register an account on Libera.Chat and join us there!
There has been a lot of activity over the last 2-3 days related to
staffing changes on the Freenode IRC network [0]. The Wikimedia IRC
Group Contacts (GCs) [1] evaluated the situation and decided that
moving the Wikimedia IRC channels from Freenode to the brand new
Libera.Chat IRC network [2] would be the best course of action [3].
So, we are moving!
A new #wikimedia-cloud channel has been created on irc.libera.chat for
this Wikimedia sub-community to use. The old channel on Freenode still
exists and will be maintained at least until we can get all the bots
moved, our documentation updated on wikitech, and we see more folks on
the Libera channel than the Freenode one. Messages to our channel in
either IRC network, as well as the Telegram channel [4], will be seen
on all other channels.
There is a new subpage on meta [5] for information on how to create a
new account for yourself on Libera.Chat and other related information.
There is also a tracking task [6] that you can look at to see various
activities that the community hopes to take action on to complete the
migration.
One last thing: The #wmhack Freenode channel is bridged to
#wikimedia-hackathon on Libera.Chat. The new channel name will make it
easier for the GCs to help manage spam and other issues that come up
occasionally on IRC. Don't miss the fun of our 2021 virtual hackathon
from Friday, May 21st to Sunday, May 23rd! [7]

Selected Areas in Communication Symposium: Social Networks Track
SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
Recently, social network research has advanced rapidly with the prevalence
of online social applications and mobile social communications systems.
Moreover, the ongoing pandemic via contact social networks has caused
tremendous human life and economic loss around the world, and infodemic is
one of the major social impacts that make people difficult to discriminate
trustworthy sources, from false and manipulative information sources.
Therefore, researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide
spectrum of challenges in social networks, such as developing social-aware
algorithms for communications systems, identifying the topological common
structures and information/influence flows, analyzing the social media and
evolutions of social graphs, and exploiting location-based and contextual
information embedded in mobile social networks to create innovative
applications. Due to the interdisciplinary nature, social networks have
also attracted intensive research interests across multiple disciplines,
including artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data analytics,
information security and privacy protection, psychology, and marketing. In
light of the above crucial needs, Selected Areas in Communication Symposium
in Social Networks will serve as a forum for researchers and technologists
to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set
future directions in social networks.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
- Infrastructure, platform, protocol design, and optimization for mobile
social networks, mobile social clouds, and social Internet-of-Things with
Artificial Intelligence
- Social-aware network solutions and social network influence on (wireless)
communications systems
- Cross-layer design for social networks and the underlying communications
and network platforms, and subsequent new design paradigm for future
(wireless) communications
- Network graph modeling, measurements, simulations, and experiments
- Analysis of dynamics and control of belief, influence, and rumor
propagations in the evolutions of social networks
- Data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, signal processing,
and artificial intelligence in social media and social contexts
- Trusted networking, privacy and security, user behaviors and dynamics,
and digital right management, for big data in social networks
- Innovative social network applications and services to mobile Internet,
multimedia networks, mobile-commerce, cyber-physical systems, and their
potential social, economic, and cultural impacts
- Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on social networks

to:
-
Developing new representations: at the document, sentence, word, or
sub-word level, using language model objectives, word embeddings, spectral
methods, etc.
-
Evaluating existing representations: probing representations for
generalization, compositionality & robustness, adversarial evaluation,
analysis of representations.
-
Efficient learning and inference: with respect to training and inference
time, model size, amount of training data, etc.
-
Beyond English / text: multi-modal, cross-lingual, knowledge-informed
embeddings, structure-informed embeddings (syntax, morphology), etc.
Important Dates
-
Submission deadline: April 26, 2021 May 3, 2021
-
Notification of acceptance: May 28, 2021 June 1, 2021
-
Camera-ready papers due: June 7, 2021 (no changes)
-
Workshop: August 5-6, 2021 (no changes)
All deadlines are 11:59 pm UTC -12h ("anywhere on Earth").
Submissions
We solicit three categories of papers: regular workshop papers, extended
abstracts and cross-submissions. Only regular workshop papers will be
included in the proceedings as archival publications, and only regular
workshop papers will be eligible for best paper prizes. All three
categories of papers may be long (maximum 8 pages plus references) or short
(maximum 4 pages plus references). All submissions should be in PDF format
and made through the Softconf website set up for this workshop:
<https://www.softconf.com/acl2021/RepL4NLP/>
https://www.softconf.com/acl2021/w15_repl4nlp2021/.
In line with the ACL main conference policy, camera-ready versions of
papers will be given one additional page of content, and no limit to
additional pages for references.
Regular Workshop Papers
Authors should submit a long paper of up to 8 pages, or a short paper of up
to 4 pages, both with unlimited references, following the ACL 2021
formatting requirements (see the ACL 2021 Call For Papers for reference:
https://2021.aclweb.org/calls/papers/). The reported research should be
substantially original. Accepted papers will be presented as posters.
Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be
included in the papers; self-reference that identifies the authors should
be avoided or anonymized. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop
proceedings.
Supplementary Material: Each submission can be accompanied by a single PDF
appendix. The paper submissions need to remain fully self-contained, as
these supplementary materials are completely optional, and reviewers are
not even asked to review or download them. Supplementary materials need to
be fully anonymized to preserve the double-blind reviewing policy.
Extended Abstracts
Preliminary but interesting ideas or results that have not been published
before may be submitted as extended abstracts. Accepted extended abstracts
will be presented as posters, and included in the workshop program and
handbook, but will not be included in the workshop proceedings (and are not
eligible for best paper prizes).
Extended abstract submissions are therefore ideal for preliminary work
which would benefit from exposure but is not ready for publication. Authors
should submit a long extended abstract of up to 8 pages, or a short
extended abstract of up to 4 pages, both with unlimited references.
Submissions should follow the ACL 2021 formatting requirements (see the ACL
2021 Call For Papers for reference: https://2021.aclweb.org/calls/papers/).
Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be
included in the papers; self-reference that identifies the authors should
be avoided or anonymized.
Cross-Submissions
In addition to previously unpublished work, we also solicit recent papers
on relevant topics that have appeared in a non-NLP venue (e.g., workshop or
conference papers at NeurIPS or ICML). Accepted cross-submissions will be
presented as posters, with an indication of original venue, but will not be
included in the workshop program and handbook, or the workshop proceedings
(and are not eligible for best paper prizes). Cross-submissions are ideal
for related work which would benefit from exposure to the RepL4NLP
audience. Submission length is determined by the original venue. Interested
authors should submit their papers in PDF format through the RepL4NLP
Softconf website (https://www.softconf.com/acl2021/w15_repl4nlp2021/), with
a note on the original venue. Papers in this category do not need to follow
the ACL format and selection will be solely determined by the organizing
committee.
Best Paper Prizes
To be announced.

The 6th Workshop on Representation Learning for NLP (RepL4NLP-2021),
co-located with ACL 2021 in Bangkok, Thailand, invites papers of a
theoretical or experimental nature describing recent advances in vector
space models of meaning, compositionality, and the application of deep
neural networks and spectral methods to NLP.
We encourage submissions in the following topics, including but not limited
to:
-
Developing new representations: at the document, sentence, word, or
sub-word level, using language model objectives, word embeddings, spectral
methods, etc.
-
Evaluating existing representations: probing representations for
generalization, compositionality & robustness, adversarial evaluation,
analysis of representations.
-
Efficient learning and inference: with respect to training and inference
time, model size, amount of training data, etc.
-
Beyond English / text: multi-modal, cross-lingual, knowledge-informed
embeddings, structure-informed embeddings (syntax, morphology), etc.
Important Dates
-
Submission deadline: April 26, 2021
-
Notification of acceptance: May 28, 2021
-
Camera-ready papers due: June 7, 2021
-
Workshop: August 5-6, 2021
All deadlines are 11:59 pm UTC -12h ("anywhere on Earth").
Submissions
We solicit three categories of papers: regular workshop papers, extended
abstracts and cross-submissions. Only regular workshop papers will be
included in the proceedings as archival publications, and only regular
workshop papers will be eligible for best paper prizes. All three
categories of papers may be long (maximum 8 pages plus references) or short
(maximum 4 pages plus references). All submissions should be in PDF format
and made through the Softconf website set up for this workshop:
<https://www.softconf.com/acl2021/RepL4NLP/>
https://www.softconf.com/acl2021/w15_repl4nlp2021/.
In line with the ACL main conference policy, camera-ready versions of
papers will be given one additional page of content, and no limit to
additional pages for references.\
Regular Workshop Papers
Authors should submit a long paper of up to 8 pages, or a short paper of up
to 4 pages, both with unlimited references, following the ACL 2021
formatting requirements (see the ACL 2021 Call For Papers for reference:
https://2021.aclweb.org/calls/papers/). The reported research should be
substantially original. Accepted papers will be presented as posters.
Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be
included in the papers; self-reference that identifies the authors should
be avoided or anonymized. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop
proceedings.
Supplementary Material: Each submission can be accompanied by a single PDF
appendix. The paper submissions need to remain fully self-contained, as
these supplementary materials are completely optional, and reviewers are
not even asked to review or download them. Supplementary materials need to
be fully anonymized to preserve the double-blind reviewing policy.
Extended Abstracts
Preliminary but interesting ideas or results that have not been published
before may be submitted as extended abstracts. Accepted extended abstracts
will be presented as posters, and included in the workshop program and
handbook, but will not be included in the workshop proceedings (and are not
eligible for best paper prizes).
Extended abstract submissions are therefore ideal for preliminary work
which would benefit from exposure but is not ready for publication. Authors
should submit a long extended abstract of up to 8 pages, or a short
extended abstract of up to 4 pages, both with unlimited references.
Submissions should follow the ACL 2021 formatting requirements (see the ACL
2021 Call For Papers for reference: https://2021.aclweb.org/calls/papers/).
Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be
included in the papers; self-reference that identifies the authors should
be avoided or anonymized.
Cross-Submissions
In addition to previously unpublished work, we also solicit recent papers
on relevant topics that have appeared in a non-NLP venue (e.g., workshop or
conference papers at NeurIPS or ICML). Accepted cross-submissions will be
presented as posters, with an indication of original venue, but will not be
included in the workshop program and handbook, or the workshop proceedings
(and are not eligible for best paper prizes). Cross-submissions are ideal
for related work which would benefit from exposure to the RepL4NLP
audience. Submission length is determined by the original venue. Interested
authors should submit their papers in PDF format through the RepL4NLP
Softconf website (https://www.softconf.com/acl2021/w15_repl4nlp2021/), with
a note on the original venue. Papers in this category do not need to follow
the ACL format and selection will be solely determined by the organizing
committee.
Best Paper Prizes
To be announced.
