Katie Zacarian is the CEO and co-founder of Earth Species Project. Earth Species Project is a non-profit organization with the mission of decoding animal communication. To achieve this mission, ESP collaborates broadly across many scientific disciplines, bringing together AI researchers, biological scientists, ethicists, philosophers, conservationists, and more. With so many disciplines of research partnering with the organization, ESP’s listening to animals hinges almost entirely on its ability to listen to all of the various collaborators contributing to the work. In this talk, Zacarian talks about the challenges, and joys of listening
deeply to the science and expertise outside of our own disciplines–and eventually–outside of our species.

### Welcome to IJCNLP-AACL 2023!
I am honored and happy to welcome you to IJCNLP-AACL 2023! The conference hosts both the 13th
International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (IJCNLP) and the 3rd Conference of
the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (AACL). 
The joint conferences of IJCNLP and AACL have been organized by alternating leadership in the
Asia-Pacific region, in odd years by Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP) and
in even years by AACL. The conference is organized by AFNLP this year. 

Considering the current situation that we are not yet fully over the coronavirus pandemic, the
conference is offered in a hybrid mode, off-line in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, and on-line with the help
of Underline, during November 1-4, 2023. For those attending off-line, I hope that you will find time to
explore the exciting local area, which remains quite warm and pleasant at this time of the year. For
those attending on-line, I hope that the attendance is not much hampered, sometimes even enhanced
and comfortable, though the on-line arrangements have been made without ample time. 

Message from Jong C. Park, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
