Workshop on Intelligent Approaches to Sentiment Mining and Emotion
Analysis (WISMEA)

https://sites.google.com/site/wismean

Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, 21 October 2012.

In conjunction with: The XXI Brazilian Symposium on Artificial
Intelligence - SBIA

==========================================



It is a pleasure to announce the call for papers to the first Workshop
on Intelligent Approaches to Sentiment Mining and Emotion Analysis
(WISMEA). The workshop will be held together with the SBIA 2012, which
is the leading conference in Brazil for presentation of research and
applications in Artificial Intelligence. The conference will be held
in Curitiba, Paraná, 20-25 October 2012.

                  Sentiment detection from texts has witnessed a
booming interest in recent years. More than ever before, people are
sharing their knowledge, experience and thoughts with entire world,
through blogs, wikis, forum, chats and social networks.  The automatic
detection of sentiment (opinion) and emotions in texts is important
for a variety of applications such as e-commerce, e-learning
environments, or entertainment games. This workshop will provide a
forum for discussion between researchers involved in processing and
extracting of opinion mining, sentiment and emotions analysis, for
many languages.

Researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on techniques in
fields from AI and natural language processing applied to extracting
of opinions, sentiments and emotions. Besides methodologies and
techniques for opinion mining, sentiment and emotions analysis, 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. Transfer of data sets or
other resources from one language to another or building resources for
various languages is also of interest.



     We would like to invite researchers to submit their original and
unpublished work to the workshop. Demos of working or under
development systems are encouraged.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- extraction opinion and sentiment analysis from the Web using AI techniques;

- AI techniques of opinion mining;

- novel approaches for sentiment and opinion mining ;

- machine learning applied to opinion mining, sentiment and emotions
analysis;

- emotion analysis in sentences and documents;

- multi-lingual opinion mining  and sentiment analysis;

- classification of texts by emotion and mood;

- emotion processing across different languages;

- the analysis of sentiment and opinion that contains emotional aspects;

- emotion analysis in automatic speech transcripts;

- applications in which affective aspects are beneficial;

- other aspects of the AI treatment of emotions and affect in Wed data;

- applications of sentiment analysis and opinion mining;

- sociolinguistic aspects of classification.
