PEOPLES: WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF PEOPLE’S OPINIONS,

** LAST CALL FOR PAPERS **
New Paper Submission Deadline: ** October 2nd **
On social media, users nowadays freely express what is on their mind at
any moment in time, at any location, and about virtually anything. These
large amounts of spontaneously produced texts open up a unique
opportunity to learn more about such users, e.g., predicting demographic
variables (age, gender), but also personality types, as well as emotions
and opinion expressions. Aspects of human personality and behavior have
been mostly studied in isolation, often in different - but related -
communities. We believe that the time is ripe to bring these communities
a step closer, to study people’s traits and expressions jointly and in
their interplay.
On a conceptual level we can view these aspects on a continuum of
stability, where some can be considered stable (e.g., gender), while
others are of more transitional nature and contextually prompted (e.g.,
emotions). They can be seen as characterizing traits of the whole person
and should be studied together. As of now, however, little is known on
how they interact with one another in computational language modeling,
or how they can inform each other in modeling people or improving
natural language processing tools.
This workshop intends to bring together researchers in Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing who share an interest in
personality, opinion and emotion detection, and especially in
researching the intertwining of such traits and expressions.
We encourage the submission of long (8 pages) and short (4 pages)
research papers, including opinion statements. We especially welcome
views from different fields on how to treat the different aspects. We
welcome submissions related but not limited to the following topics:
*
opinion, personality and emotion detection in social media
*
predicting demographic variables and author traits (gender, age,
personality)
*
opinions, personality and emotions and their interactions
*
interaction between personality, opinion and emotions with
demographic variables (age, gender)
*
interaction between personality, opinion and emotions and
geo-spatial information (geographic locations and places)
*
interaction between personality, opinion and emotions with politics
*
personality, opinion and emotions and social network analysis
*
modeling of personality, opinion and emotions from a multimodal
perspective
*
exploitation of the different degree of stability of the various traits
*
reflections on the definition of personal traits
*
applications of predictive modeling of user traits
*
on the ethics of predictive modeling of social variables
