We are living in a time where the digital transformation of media has contributed to the ubiquitous dissemination of fake facts and a credibility crisis with news media. News are generated today differently, increasingly automating the process using machine intelligence, and news are generated by different actors, with social media enabling everyone, including malicious actors, to become the source of news. These developments have fuelled an inflation of fake news.

We will first review some of the key developments that affect today the space of news media. Then we turn our attention to the question of how we can address some of the problems using technology, in particular artificial intelligence. The first problem we consider will be news bias. We show that bias exists in various forms and outline methods to fight it. The second problem we consider will be fake news, in particular in the science domain. We will introduce our approach and platform for evaluating the quality of scientific news articles employing automated methods. These efforts are in our view critical in helping to reestablish trusted news channels and give citizen a chance to obtain truthful and unbiased information in the future.

Making News Credible Again

# Welcome everyone to ACL 2022!

The 60th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics is taking place May 22-27, 2022 as a hybrid event, in Dublin and online. We are happy to welcome all of you to this anniversary edition with an almost 50-50 in-person and virtual participation. 
The main conference program features oral presentations, in-person and virtual posters and demo sessions, a plenary session for our best paper presentations and awards, three amazing keynote events and two new initiatives of invited talks: Spotlight Talks for Young Rising Stars (STIRS) and The Next Big Idea Talks. Posters (including Findings of ACL 2022) and demos are grouped by areas for both the in-person and the virtual sessions. For the virtual component, the talks will be on Zoom and the posters and the demos will be in GatherTown. The Student Research Workshop will have an oral session and a poster session as part of Poster Session 1. The program also features eight Tutorials and 28 Workshops. 

 
We wish you a wonderful conference!

ACL 2022

The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the premier international scientific and professional society for people working on computational problems involving human language, a field often referred to as either computational linguistics or natural language processing (NLP). 

keynote

The purpose of the International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The conference has five main tracks, covering different aspects of Web Information Systems, namely Internet Technology, Web Interfaces and Applications, Society, e-Communities, e-Business, Web Intelligence and Mobile Information Systems. WEBIST focuses on real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of Web Information Systems and Technologies for industry and services, in addition to academic applications. Ideas on how to solve business problems using web-based information systems and technologies, will be discussed at the conference.

For most people, the dominating sense they use to interact with the Web is their eye sight.
However, web site providers do neither understand very well what users see when they look at their web site nor can they help the user to exploit her eye sight as an interaction modality. While eye tracking devices have become commercial commodity products, what has been lacking is the contextualized understanding of eye sight. Web browsers are almost unique software applications as they require an (almost) declarative representation of the user interface. We have engineered solutions that map eye traces and fixations onto interface regions and interaction widgets.
In the EU project Mamem we have used such mappings to facilitate hands-free Web interaction, especially for motor-impaired individuals. In collaboration with the company EyeVido, we use these mappings to mine user viewing behavior. We envision that eye sight will become a major interaction modality for the Web in the future, but for this we also suggest that Web browsers remain transparent, declarative-oriented applications that are so accessible and modifiable that we can develop methods that involve all our senses.

Eyeing The Web

Information Systems have been moved into the cloud for many years and recently also into more distributed edge and IoT environments. In addition, applications have become more mobile. In this presentation, I will address engineering techniques that help to migrate and let run software effectively and efficiently in these environments. Software architecture, both from a structural but also a dynamic perspective, is crucial here. The role that microservices and containers as units of development and deployment play shall be investigated. Patterns can help to frame these in terms of the structural architecture. From a more dynamic perspective, systems become more dynamic and are often (self)-adaptive. DevOps for more rapid, automated release cycles is a solution for continuous evolution, as are controllers for more autonomous and immediate adaptation.The increasingly important management of performance and dependability, but also trust in these distributed, heterogeneous environments shall also be discussed in this presentation.
