For a good overview of linguistic and other cues to deception, I recommend
Roger Shuy's "The language of confession, interrogation, and deception."
It's a fascinating book. I use examples from it in teaching all the
time--in these days of CSI and the like, students perk up when you talk
about forensic linguistics.

Subject: [Corpora-List] Summary - Thanks for the replies! -> Gold
standard for document similarity
To: "corpora at uib.no" <corpora at uib.no>
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post!
I've compiled a summary of the answers which you can see below.
General comment: Comparatively few similarity datasets above the
sentence level exist.
Resources:
1. Lee & Pincombe's dataset:
Michael D. Lee, Brandon Pincombe, and Matthew
Welsh. 2005. An empirical evaluation of models of
text document similarity. In Proceedings of the 27th
Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society,
pages 1254--1259, Mahwah, NJ. Erlbaum.
These are human graded similarities between paragraph sized texts. Need
to contact Michael Lee to get access to it.
Contact: Michael D. Lee <mdlee at uci.edu>
2. Linda Bawcom's observations:
1) much of the similarity is caused by so many newspapers using the same
agency (mostly Reuters and Associated Press -in the United States) to
get their news and
2) she used a free online similarity program (really one that is
normally used for plagiarism) to find that similarity:
http://plagiarism.bloomfieldmedia.com/z-wordpress/2012/03/05/new-release-wcopyfind-4-1-1/.
She prepared ? corpus on TSUNAMI-related topics
Contact: Linda Bawcom <linda.bawcom at sbcglobal.net>
3. SemEval Text Similarity task 2013
http://ixa2.si.ehu.es/sts/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=54
- Core task - Given two sentences, s1 and s2, participants will
quantifiably inform us on how similar s1 and s2 are, resulting in a
similarity score.
- Pilot task on typed-similarity between semi-structured records. The
types of similarity to be studied include location, author, people
involved, time, events or actions, subject, description.
Data is available here:
http://ixa2.si.ehu.es/sts/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=56
Contact: "Zesch, Torsten, Dr." <torsten.zesch at uni-due.de>
4. 20 newsgroups
http://qwone.com/~jason/20Newsgroups/
The 20 Newsgroups data set is a collection of approximately 20,000
newsgroup documents, partitioned (nearly) evenly across 20 different
newsgroups. To the best of my knowledge, it was originally collected by
Ken Lang, probably for his Newsweeder: Learning to filter netnews paper,
though he does not explicitly mention this collection. The 20 newsgroups
collection has become a popular data set for experiments in text
applications of machine learning techniques, such as text classification
and text clustering.
5. Reuters corpus
http://about.reuters.com/researchandstandards/corpus/statistics/index.asp
6. Adam Kilgarriff & Tony Russell-Rose wrote a paper evaluating various
metrics for comparing corpora, and as part of that process created a set
of 'known similarity corpora' which included various newspaper sources.
It's documented here:
Measures for corpus similarity and homogeneity
http://aclweb.org/anthology//W/W98/W98-1506.pdf
The documents are here: ftp://ftp.itri.brighton.ac.uk/KSC
The METER Corpus is here: http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/meter/
Contacts: Tony Russell-Rose <tgr at russellrose.com>, Paul D Clough
<p.d.clough at sheffield.ac.uk>
7. JRC resources
- JEX corpus, which accompanies the JEC software
(http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=60)
- The news clusters downloaded and annotated for multi-document
summarisation (see at the bottom of the page
http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=61).
- NewsExplorer news clusters (e.g.
http://emm.newsexplorer.eu/NewsExplorer/home/en/latest.html).

=================================================================
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Language is a set of publicly agreed conventions that serves the purpose of
inter-personal communication. Speakers (or writers) try to convey a
message, instill an idea or make an impression on the listeners. Listeners
(or readers), in turn, are affected by the message and may respond to it.
Language, in that sense, is an important vehicle that shapes (and is shaped
by) social dynamics.
Traditional NLP research, however, focuses on ?documents? (either of full
length or on the sentence level), rather than on the communication process
as reflected by language use. Common examples of traditional NLP research
are parsing, document classification, machine translation, and sentiment
analysis at the sentence and document level without considering the social
dynamics of the people who are writing and reading those texts.
In this workshop we move beyond analyzing the informational aspect of
documents and discuss ways in which NLP can contribute to gaining insights
about the interplay between language use and various levels of social
dynamics.
The first Workshop on NLP and Social Dynamics is aiming at bringing
together researchers from various disciplines such as computational
linguistics, web science, sociology and digital humanities to demonstrate
and discuss the potential of the state-of-the-art NLP algorithms applied to
social and historical data.
The workshop will will feature long and short presentations and a panel
discussion of critical issues at the intersection of computational
linguistics and social science.

To: undisclosed-recipients:;
(Apologies for cross-posting)
======================================================================
CoNLL-2014
Eighteenth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
June 26-27, 2014
http://www.conll.org/
======================================================================
Last Call for Papers
======================================================================
CoNLL is the yearly conference organized by SIGNLL (the ACL Special
Interest Group on Natural Language Learning). This year, CoNLL will be
collocated with ACL 2014 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The shared task of
CoNLL will be Grammatical Error Correction, see details below.
Important Dates
---------------
* Paper submission deadline: March 14, 2014, 23:59 EST (GMT-6)
* Notification of acceptance: April 21, 2014
* Camera-ready copy deadline: May 4, 2014
* Conference: June 26-27, 2014 (straight after ACL 2014)
Topics
------
CoNLL is an international conference for research on natural language
learning. We invite the submission of papers on all aspects of
computational approaches to natural language learning, including, but
not limited to:
* Development and empirical evaluation of machine learning methods
applied to any natural language or speech processing task in supervised,
semi-supervised or unsupervised settings (e.g. structured prediction,
graphical models, deep learning, relational learning, reinforcement
learning, etc.).
* Theoretical analyses of learning-based approaches to natural language
processing.
* Computational models of human language acquisition, language evolution
and language change.
Special Topic of Interest: Machine Reading
------------------------------------
For this edition of CoNLL, we particularly solicit papers that focus on
machine reading, "the automatic, unsupervised understanding of text"
(Etzioni et al. 2006), which involves processes such as text analysis,
knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, learning, inference,
optimization, reasoning, and information fusion. The field is evolving
rapidly thanks to the research performed in projects such as TextRunner
(Banko, Cafarella, and Etzioni 2007), the Watson system of IBM (Ferrucci
et al. 2010), ReVerb (Fader et al 2011), or NELL (Mitchel 2010) and
the DARPA Machine Reading program (Strassel et al. 2010). We solicit
papers related to all aspects of Machine Reading with special interest
in papers that report research on inference.
Invited speakers
---------------
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Tom Mitchell (Carnegie Mellon
University) and Prof. Morten H. Christiansen (Cornell University) have
accepted to be invited speakers at CoNLL-2014.
Best Paper Award
----------------
As in recent CoNLL conferences, we are delighted to announce that
Microsoft and Google will sponsor a Best Paper Award for the authors of
the highest quality paper. The most important aspects in judging the
quality of a paper will be: originality, innovativeness, relevance, and
impact of the presented research.
Main Session Submission Details
-------------------------------
A paper submitted to CoNLL-2014 must describe original, unpublished
work. Submit a full paper by March 14, 2014, 23:59 EST (GMT-6). Papers
may have up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages
of references, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation
as determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers
will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based
on the nature rather than on the quality of the work. There will be no
distinction in the proceedings between full papers presented orally and
those presented as poster presentations.
We require the use of the ACL 2014 LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word
Style files tailored for this year's conference. Papers must conform to
the official ACL 2014 style guidelines. Authors who are unable to use
these style files or submit a PDF file electronically should contact the
program co-chairs. Submissions can be made via the following link:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2014/CoNLL2014
Authors may also optionally submit a second document containing
supporting information such as proofs or algorithmic details. Reviewers
will have access to the supporting information and may refer to it at
their discretion. Any information that is critical to understanding the
paper should be included within the paper itself.
Since reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors'
names and affiliations, and there should be no self-references that
reveal the authors' identity. In the submission form, you will be asked
for the following information: paper title, authors' names,
affiliations, and email addresses, contact author's email address, a
list of keywords, abstract of no more than 300 words, and information on
whether the paper has been or will be simultaneously submitted to other
conferences (and if so which conferences). The contact author of an
accepted paper under multiple submission will need to promptly inform
the program co-chairs whether he or she intends the accepted paper to
appear in CoNLL-2014. A paper that is submitted to be included in
CoNLL-2014 must be withdrawn from other conferences.
Authors of accepted submissions are to produce a final paper to be
published in the proceedings of the conference, which will be available
at the conference for participants, and distributed afterwards by ACL.
Final papers must also follow the ACL 2014 style and should have at most
8 pages of content plus at most 2 extra pages for references only. At
least one author must register for the conference and present the paper.
Please do not submit a paper if you do not plan to attend the conference.
As in previous years, CoNLL-2014 will include a shared task which is
organized by a separate committee. The details of the shared task are
included in this CFP (see below). Please note the different submission
details and deadlines for the shared task.

Shared Task: Grammatical Error Correction
-----------------------------------------
CoNLL 2014 will continue the CoNLL tradition of having a high profile
shared task in natural language processing. This year's shared task will
be grammatical error correction, a continuation of the CoNLL shared task
in 2013. A participating system in this shared task is given short
English essays written by non-native speakers of English. The system
detects the grammatical errors present in the input essays, and returns
the corrected essays. The shared task in 2014 will require a
participating system to correct all errors present in an essay (i.e.,
not restricted to just the five error types required in 2013). The
organization of the CoNLL 2014 shared task will be led by Hwee Tou Ng at
the National University of Singapore.
