Meeting Description:

The 15th Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT 2016) 

NAACL HLT 2016 will feature long papers, short papers, demonstrations, and a student research workshop, as well as associated tutorials and workshops. In addition, some of the presentations at the conference will be of papers accepted for the new Transactions of the ACL journal (http://www.transacl.org).

NAACL 2016 Workshop on Computational Approaches to Deception Detection

We are pleased to announce the workshop on Computational Approaches to Deception Detection to be held in conjunction with the main NAACL-HLT 2016 conference in San Diego, California on June 12-17, 2016.

Motivation: 

Since the early 20th century, a number of technologies have been developed for deception detection, primarily aimed at the identification and the analysis of cues possibly associated with false statements. The cues have varied widely, ranging from physiological measurements to non-verbal and verbal behaviors.

Several areas of natural language processing, including text classification, spoken language processing, sentiment analysis, and discourse are now addressing the descriptive criteria associated with deception. New approaches also present the opportunity to combine information from different modalities.

In 2012 we organized a full-day workshop entitled ''Computational Approaches to Deception Detection'' for the EACL meeting in Avignon, France. Since then, there has been growing interest in deception detection among the computational linguistics community.

2nd Call for Papers: 

Target Audience: 

We welcome contributions from the NLP community as well as participation from researchers who follow a multimodal approach and who deal with deception detection from different perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, and human-computer interaction, in order to stress the applicability of the methods in many specific domains.

Classification techniques for identifying deceptive language
Corpora for testing judgments of deceptive language
Corpus annotation for deception cues
Corpus annotation for ground truth
Gathering data for forensic applications
Online deception
Relationships between deceptive language, autonomic responses, and facial expressions
Relationships between deceptive language and neuroimaging
Comparing human to machine performance in deception detection
Portability of deception models to languages other than English
Applications of deception detection
Fraud detection
Detecting deception in groups
Deception in product reviews
