[Corpora-List] Last CFP for NAACL-HLT 2010 Workshop on Emotion in Text + new deadline March 10

[Diana Inkpen]

CALL FOR PAPERS

Submission Deadline: March 10, 2010 (extended)

NAACL-HLT 2010 Workshop on Computational Approaches to
   Analysis and Generation of Emotion in Text
         June 5 or 6, Los Angeles, CA

http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~diana/naacl2010_EmotionWorkshop.html


The automatic detection of emotions in texts and the generation of texts 
that express emotions is important for applications such as natural 
language interfaces, e-learning environments, and educational or 
entertainment games. These aspects are also important in opinion mining 
and sentiment analysis, and in the larger area of affective computing.

This workshop will provide a forum for discussion between leading names 
and researchers involved in processing emotions in the context of 
natural language understanding, natural language generation, or 
applications in which computational approaches to the processing of 
emotions are useful. Besides methodologies and techniques for emotion 
analysis and generation, we also encourage the submission of papers that 
experiment with and describe applicative contexts in which analysis and 
detection of affective aspects are useful and beneficial.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- emotion analysis in sentences and documents;
- classification of texts by emotion and mood;
- the generation of sentences that express emotions;
- emotion processing across different languages;
- the analysis of sentiment and opinion that contains emotional aspects;
- argumentation that includes emotions and opinions;
- emotion analysis in automatic speech transcripts;
- applications in which affective aspects are beneficial;
- other aspects of the computational treatment of emotion and affect.
