Meeting Description:

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

Detecting deception in communications has been a challenge throughout history.
Since the early 20th century, however, a number of technologies have been
developed, specifically aimed at unmasking deception primarily through the
identification and 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;
for example, computational approaches to the analysis of facial expressions
may also play a role in the identification of deceptive language.

In 2012 we organized a full-day workshop entitled “Computational Approaches to
Deception Detection” for the EACL meeting in Avignon, France. Fourteen papers
were delivered at the meeting to an audience of 31 attendees. Since then,
there has been growing interest in deception detection among the computational
linguistics community, as evidenced by the 24+ conference and journal papers
published since 2012.

Four years out from EACL2012, we think it is time to create a new event where
researchers in computational linguistics who deal with deception detection in
any application area can share their methods and present their
accomplishments.

The workshop on Computational Approaches to Deception Detection, is sponsored
by the North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(NAACL) and is part of the NAACL 2016 conference to be held in San Diego,
California on 12-17 June 2016.
