amount of literary material available on-line keeps growing rapidly:
there are machine-readable texts from libraries, collections and e-book
stores, as well as "live" literature such as e-zines, blogs or
self-published e-books. We need tools to help navigate, visualize and
better appreciate the high volume of available literature.</span><br><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><br><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">We
invite papers on applying state-of-the art NLP methods to literary
data. What characteristics of literature make it special? Is it, indeed,
a unique type of language data? How should we adapt our tools to find
meaning in literary text? What lessons from automatic processing of
literature could apply to other types of data?</span><br><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:'Times New
