The empirical study of deception in language dates at leastfrom Undeutsch (1954, 1989), who hypothesized that “there are certainrelatively exact, definable, descriptive criteria that form a key tool for thedetermination of the truthfulness of statements”. Reviews from the field ofpsychology indicate that many types of deception can be identified because theliar’s behavior -- verbal, visual, and physiological -- varies considerablyfrom that of the truth teller’s. Even so, humans are notoriously poor at spotting deception, withaccuracy rates at the level of chance. Can machines do better? Several areas of natural language processing are ripe toaddress the descriptive criteria associated with deception, including textclassification, spoken language processing, sentiment analysis, discourse, andpragmatics. New approaches might combine information from different modalities,for example, computational approaches to the analysis of facial expressions mayalso impinge on the identification of deceptive language. A spate of recent NLPpapers on the classification of narratives as true/false suggests that thefield is ready to open up to this promising application. The workshop on Computational Approaches to DeceptionDetection, sponsored by the Europeanchapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL), invitescontributions from the NLP community as well as participation from researcherswho deal with deception detection from different perspectives, includingpsychology, neuroscience, and human-computer interaction. The workshop is partof the EACL 2012 conference to be held in Avignon, France April 23-27, 2012.
