EVALITA’s shared tasks are aimed at contributing to the development and dissemination of natural language resources and technologies by proposing a shared context for training and evaluation. Following the success of previous editions, we organized EVALITA 2014, the fourth evaluation campaign with the aim of continuing to provide a forum for the comparison and evaluation of research outcomes as far as Italian is concerned from both academic institutions and industrial organizations. The event has been supported by the NLP Special Interest Group of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA) and by the Italian Association of Speech Science (AISV). The novelty of this year is that the final workshop of EVALITA is co-located with the 1st Italian Conference of Computational Linguistics (CLiC-it, http://clic.humnet.unipi.it/), a new event aiming to establish a reference forum for research on Computational Linguistics of the Italian community with contributions from a wide range of disciplines going from Computational Linguistics, Linguistics and Cognitive Science to Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval and Digital Humanities. The co-location with CLiC-it potentially widens the potential audience of EVALITA. The final workshop, held in Pisa on the 11th December 2014 within the context of the XIII AI*IA SymposiumQuesto e-book appartiene a AlessandroLenci on Artificial Intelligence (Pisa, 10-12 December 2014, http://aiia2014.di.unipi.it/), gathers the results of 8 tasks, 4 of which focusing on written language and 4 on speech technologies. In this EVALITA edition, we received 30 expressions of interest, 55 registrations and 43 actual submissions to 8 proposed tasks distributed as follows: • Written language tasks: Dependency Parsing - DP (5), Evaluation of Events and Temporal Information - EVENTI (6), Sentiment Polarity Classification - SENTIPOLC (27), Word Sense Disambiguation and Lexical Substitution - WSD&LS (0); • Speech tasks: Emotion Recogniton Task - ERT (2), Forced Alignment on Children Speech - FACS (1), Human and Machine Dialect Identification from Natural Speech and Artificial Stimuli - HMDI (0), Speech Activity Detection and Speaker Localization in Domestic Environments - SASLODOM (2). 23 participants (either as individual researchers or as academic institutions) submitted their results to one or more different tasks of the contest. In this volume, the reports of the tasks’ organizers and participants of EVALITA 2014 are collected. As in previous editions, both the tasks and the final workshop were collectively organized by several researchers from the community working on Italian language resources and technologies. We thank all the people and institutions involved in the organization of the tasks, who contributed to the success of the event. A special thank is due to Francesco Cutugno (Università Degli Studi di Napoli Federico II) for his important contribution to the organization of the EVALITA Speech tasks. Thanks are also due to Manuela Sanguinetti (Università di Torino) for helping with the management of the EVALITA website, and to FBK for making the web platform available for this III edition as well. Last but not least, we thank our invited speaker, Ryan McDonald from Google, for agreeing to share his expertise on key topics of EVALITA 2014.

    THE TRUTH BY Florian Zeller TRANSLATED BY Christopher Hampton DIRECTED BY Sarah Giles Melbourne Theatre Company acknowledges the Yalukit Willam Peoples of the Boon Wurrung, the First Peoples of Country on which Southbank Theatre and MTC HQ stand. We pay our respects to all of Melbourne’s First Peoples, to their ancestors and Elders, and to our shared future. WELCOME Florian Zeller is a name familiar to MTC audiences after our 2017 co-production of his play, The Father. Since then his star has been continuously on the rise and saw the film adaption of that play take home this year’s Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor. Another of his plays is currently receiving a film adaptation as well. Zeller is a towering talent and The Truth reinforces his deft skill of drawing audiences into layered stories which are never as straightforward as they appear. We are thrilled to be producing this play in its English translation by Zeller’s long-time collaborator and co-Academy Award-winner, Christopher Hampton. In The Truth, comedy shines through the underlying bed of deception and marital manipulations, and with a cast featuring the comic pedigree of Michala Banas, Stephen Curry, Bert LaBonté and Katrina Milosevic you really are set for an enjoyable night at the theatre. Directed by Sarah Giles, this production is the fourth Australian premiere in our 2021 program, and the second in our Act 2 suite of six productions. The Truth and other international works are beautifully complemented by an array of new Australian plays being presented in the months ahead.

    To access the videos in the exercises, please enter the password abj2013 Chapter 1: Radio in Australia The radio services that we have in Australia are very much a product of their early- twentieth-century origins. As you will have read in Chapter 1 of Australian Broadcast Journalism, the three sectors we have today—commercial, community and public broadcasting—each have a distinct style and brief in relation to how they try to appeal to their audiences. You can hear this just by tuning into different stations and listening for yourself. Exercise 1: Listening to a range of programs The best way to learn about radio is to be a listener! Record a commercial program, a community program and an ABC program. 1 Compare their content and presentation styles. 2 What do the programs tell you about their respective audiences? 3 How do they reflect their respective briefs as commercial, community and public broadcasting services? Exercise 2: Podcasting Far from being dead, radio offers a wealth of creative opportunities in the digital age. In September 2013, Radio National’s Common Knowledge program aired a conversation with two innovators in the area of podcasting as part of a ‘radio beyond radio’ conference. Presenters Cassie McCullagh and Jason Di Rosso talked with Silvain Gire, Director and co-founder of Arte Radio, and Francesca Panetta, Special Projects Editor at The Guardian and creator of The Hackney Podcast.

  • The Documentary Handbook
    The Documentary Handbook The Documentary Handbook takes a thematic approach to documentary, including chapters on the many myriad forms we watch today – from the cinematic releases of Michael Moore to low-budget internet efforts like Video Nation, from ‘shock docs’ to reality television. The Documentary Handbook is a critical introduction to the documentary film, its theory and changing practices. The book charts the evolution of the documentary from screen art to core television genre, its metamorphosis into many different types of factual TV programmes and its current emergence in forms of new media. It analyses those pathways and the transformation of means of production through economic, technical and editorial changes. The Documentary Handbook explains the documentary process, skills and job specifica- tions for everyone from industry entrants to senior personnel, and shows how the industrial evolution of television has relocated the powers and principles of decision-making. Through the use of professional ‘expert briefings’ it gives practical pointers about programme- making, from researching, developing and pitching programme ideas to their production and delivery through a fast-evolving multi-platform universe. Peter Lee-Wright is a documentary filmmaker with 30 years’ experience working for the BBC and Channel 4. He is currently Senior Lecturer in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. His most recent writing includes critical overviews of sports documentary and trade union documentary in Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film (2005) and analysis of the changes taking place in multimedia news, notably in New Media, Old News (edited by Natalie Fenton, 2009). Media Practice Edited by James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London The Media Practice handbooks are comprehensive resource books for students of media and journalism, and for anyone planning a career as a media professional.
