[Corpora-List] CFP: IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine (Impact Factor: 4.629)

Mon Jul 1 10:42:25 UTC 2013

Hi Erik,

This call sounds very interesting. We will submit the refined version of
our method.

One question: you mention that the manuscript should be one-column, but the
guide lines for authors in IEEE and the templates delivered exhibit a
different format. Could you enlight me on this?

Cheers!

> RATIONALE
> The textual information available on the Web can be broadly grouped into
> two main categories: facts and opinions. Facts are objective expressions
> about entities or events. Opinions are usually subjective expressions that
> describe people's sentiments, appraisals, or feelings towards such entities
> and events. Much of the existing research on textual information processing
> has been focused on mining and retrieval of factual information, e.g., text
> classification, text recognition, text clustering, and many other text
> mining and natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Little work had been
> done on the processing of opinions until only recently.
>
> One of the main reasons for the lack of studies on opinions is the fact
> that there was little opinionated text available before the recent passage
> from a read-only to a read-write Web. Before that, in fact, when people
> needed to make a decision, they typically asked for opinions from friends
> and family. Similarly, when organizations wanted to find the opinions or
> sentiments of the general public about their products and services, they
> had to specifically ask people by conducting opinion polls and surveys.
>
> However, with the advent of the Social Web, the way people express their
> views and opinions has dramatically changed. They can now post reviews of
> products at merchant sites and express their views on almost anything in
> Internet forums, discussion groups, and blogs. Such online word-of-mouth
> behavior represents new and measurable sources of information with many
> practical applications. Nonetheless, finding opinion sources and monitoring
> them can be a formidable task because there are a large number of diverse
> sources and each source may also have a huge volume of opinionated text.
>
> In many cases, in fact, opinions are hidden in long forum posts and blogs.
> It is extremely time-consuming for a human reader to find relevant sources,
> extract related sentences with opinions, read them, summarize them, and
> organize them into usable forms. Thus, automated opinion discovery and
> summarization systems are needed. Sentiment analysis grows out of this
> need: it is a very challenging NLP or text mining problem. Due to its
> tremendous value for practical applications, there has been an explosive
> growth of both research in academia and applications in the industry.
>
> All the sentiment analysis tasks, however, are very challenging. Our
> understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are still
> limited. The main reason is that it is a NLP task, and NLP has no easy
> problems. Another reason may be due to our popular ways of doing research.
> So far, in fact, researchers have relied a lot on traditional machine
> learning algorithms. Some of the most effective machine learning
> algorithms, however, produce no human understandable results. Apart from
> some superficial knowledge gained in the manual feature engineering
> process, in fact, such algorithms may achieve improved accuracy, but little
> about how and why is actually known. All such approaches, moreover, rely on
> syntactic structure of text, which is far from the way human mind processes
> natural language.
