Cheerful, friendly, warm, intelligent and dynamic. That’s how Thierry was like. Shocking, unexpected, terrible, devastating and painful. That’s how his loss has been. In a world ruled by deadlines, bureaucracy and impossible requirements, Thierry was a breath of fresh air. His way of seeing life, in a calm and relaxed way, enjoying every minute, made…
On 21-22 September, 2022, Faculty of Human and Social Studies of Mykolas Romeris University organized an international scientific conference “LLOD Approaches for Language Data Research and Management (LLODREAM 2022)” supported by the COST Action NexusLinguarum. During the Conference, keynote presentations were delivered by Ass. Prof. Dr. Dagmar Gromann (University of Vienna, Centre for Translation Studies) and senior researcher Dr. Jorge Gracia (Zaragoza University, Department of Computer Science).
Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK) aims at bringing together researchers from across disciplines concerned with the acquisition, curation and use of language data in the context of data science and knowledge-based applications. With the advent of the Web and digital technologies, an ever increasing amount of language data is now available across application areas and industry sectors, including social media, digital archives, company records, etc. The efficient and meaningful exploitation of this data in scientific and commercial innovation is at the core of data science research, employing NLP and machine learning methods as well as semantic technologies based on knowledge graphs.

The international conference “Terminology and Specialized Knowledge Representation: New Perspectives on User Needs” (TESK) was held on 9-10 June 2022 at the Faculty of Law, University of Rijeka in Croatia. It was organized as a hybrid event with over 60 participants from 15 European countries, the majority of whom attended the conference in person.
Giedre Valunaite Oleskevicienė, Mykolas Romeris University, Institute of Humanities, Vilnius, Lithuania, completed a STSM “Researching integrated explicit and implicit offensive language taxonomy” held during the period from 05/07/2022 to 10/07/2022 at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto.
Ilan Kernerman (K Dictionaries) completed a Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) at the Dutch Language Institute in Leiden. The objective of the STSM was to explore linking lexicographic data to difficulty graded vocabularies.
DiSLiDaS Workshop at Jerusalem NexusLinguarum Meeting enjoyed audience from 18 countries around the world
On the 23rd of May, a workshop on Taxonomy and Annotation of Offensive Language: Implicitness was organized by Use Case 4.1.1 (Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, Slavko Žitnik, Anna Bączkowska, Giedrė Valūnaitė Oleškevičienė, Chaya Liebeskind, Kristina Despot, Ana Ostroški Anić), within the framework of COST Action 18209 NexusLinguarum. The workshop was a hybrid event with the on-site part hosted at the Jerusalem College of Technology, Israel. It attracted close to 30 participants both from WG4 and other NexusLinguarum WGs.
Announcing the upcoming Nexus Workshops Days in Jerusalem (23-24 May 2022),with the strong local support by Chaya Liebeskin, Jerusalem College of Technology, Jerusalem. Those workshops have the goal to strengthen the cooperation between the WGs of NexusLInguarum, also with external contributions!
Presenting the actual work of WG2 “Linked data-aware NLP services” of NexusLanguarum.
The Working Group 4 Use Case in Incivility in Media and Social Media (UC4.1.1) is involved in researching offensive language, exploring its recognition and identification methods in various everyday texts which might contain abusive content. Offensive language research may lead to establishing algorithms that spot offensive content and enable automatic protection of users from undesirable messages.

COST actions are about networking, fostering collaboration and advancing research and innovation. Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) constitute a powerful tool designed to serve these objectives. They are mobility grants that support a researcher’s visit to an institute in another COST participating country in order to get trained (or train) on new methods, and techniques, gain access to data and tools not available in their home institute, share knowledge and closely collaborate with researchers of the host institute. STSMs are intended especially, but not solely, for young researchers and can further advance their academic careers.
It has been a while since NexusLinguarum started walking. Our kickoff meeting took place on 28th October 2019 in Brussels, where representatives of the 33 countries constituting the initial network met to discuss the objectives, plans, scope and goals of the different working groups, as well as to elect the action’s management board.
