SCOPE
************************************************************************

The aim of the 4th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity,
Sentiment and Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2013) is to continue the line
of the previous three editions, bringing together researchers in
Computational Linguistics working on Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis
and researchers working on interdisciplinary aspects of affect
computation from text. Additionally, this year, we would like to extend
the focus to Social Media phenomena and the impact of affect-related
phenomena in this context.
We encourage the submission of long and short research and demo papers
including, but not restricted to the following topics related to
subjectivity, sentiment and social media analysis:

- Resources for subjectivity, sentiment and social media analysis;
  (semi-)automatic corpora generation and annotation
- Opinion retrieval, extraction, categorization, aggregation and
  summarization
- Trend detection in social media using subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis techniques
- Data linking through social networks based on affect-related NLP
  methods
- Impact of affective data from social media
- Mass opinion estimation based on NLP and statistical models
- Online reputation management
- Topic and sentiment studies and applications of topic-sentiment
  analysis
- Domain, topic and genre dependency of sentiment analysis
- Ambiguity issues and word sense disambiguation of subjective language
- Pragmatic analysis of the opinion mining task
- Use of Semantic Web technologies for subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis
- Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis
- Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis
- Subjectivity, sentiment and emotion detection in social networks
- Classification of stance in dialogues
- Applications of sentiment and social media analysis systems
