Title: VLDB 2021: Designing a Hybrid Conference
Authors: P{\i}nar T\"oz\"un and Felix Naumann and Philippe Bonnet and Xin Luna Dong
Abstract summary: This paper describes how we defined the hybrid format for VLDB 2021 going through the key design decisions. Our goal is to share this knowledge with fellow conference organizers who target a hybrid conference format as well, which is on its way to becoming the norm rather than the exception.

Abstract: In 2020, while main database conferences one by one had to adopt a virtual format as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to hold VLDB 2021 in hybrid format. This paper describes how we defined the hybrid format for VLDB 2021 going through the key design decisions. In addition, we list the lessons learned from running such a conference. Our goal is to share this knowledge with fellow conference organizers who target a hybrid conference format as well, which is on its way to becoming the norm rather than the exception. For readers who are more interested in the highlights rather than details, a short version of this report appears in SIGMOD Record.

This CfP provides rules for the BabyLM Challenge 2024-2025. The overarching goals of the challenge remain the same. We replace the loose track with a paper track. We relax the rules around pretraining data. We introduce a multimodal vision-and-language track.

A General Framework for Sequential Decision-Making under Adaptivity Constraints [112.79808969568253]
We study general sequential decision-making under two adaptivity constraints: rare policy switch and batch learning. For the rare policy switch constraint, we provide an algorithm to achieve a $widetildemathcalO(sqrtK+K/B)$ regret with the number of batches. For the batch learning constraint, we provide an algorithm that provides a $widetildemathcalO(sqrtK+K/B)$ regret with the number of batches.

PublishInCovid19 at WNUT 2020 Shared Task-1: Entity Recognition in Wet Lab Protocols using Structured Learning Ensemble and Contextualised Embeddings [0.0]
We describe the approach that we employed to address the task of Entity Recognition over Wet Lab Protocols. In the first phase, we experiment with various contextualised word embeddings and a BiLSTM-CRF model. In the second phase, we create an ensemble composed of eleven BiLSTM-CRF models. Our final submission achieved a micro F1-score of 0.8175 and 0.7757 for the partial and exact match of the entity spans.

Organizing Virtual Conferences through Mirrors: The ACM e-Energy 2020 Experience [4.104922436116807]
The emergence of the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic has forced academic conferences to be held entirely in a virtual manner. Past conferences have revealed numerous challenges, from budget planning, to selecting the supporting virtual platforms. We advocate a mirror program approach for academic conferences. More specifically, the conference program is executed in multiple parallel (mirrored) programs, so that each mirror program can fit a different time zone.

A Hierarchical Network for Abstractive Meeting Summarization with Cross-Domain Pretraining [52.11221075687124]
We propose a novel abstractive summary network that adapts to the meeting scenario. We design a hierarchical structure to accommodate long meeting transcripts and a role vector to depict the difference among speakers. Our model outperforms previous approaches in both automatic metrics and human evaluation.
