Subject: Workshop on Normalisation and Analysis of Social Media Texts

Full Title: Workshop on Normalisation and Analysis of Social Media Texts 
Short Title: NormSoMe 

Date: 28-May-2016 - 28-May-2016
Location: Portorož, Slovenia 
Contact Person: Andrius Utka
Meeting Email: normsome at hmf.vdu.lt

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 16-Feb-2016 

Meeting Description:

Social media texts provide large quantities of interesting and useful data, as
well as new challenges for NLP. Social media texts include: chats, online
commentaries, reviews, blogs, emails, forums, etc. Typically the texts are
informal and notoriously noisy. Thus many NLP tools have difficulties
processing this raw data without normalising it.
As English social media has received a lot of attention and processing
efforts, we would also like to invite papers on other languages, especially
those rich in inflections and diacritics, which cause additional processing
problems.

Thus the workshop is aimed at researchers, who have solutions, insights, and
ideas for tackling the processing of social media texts, or who are interested
in this field of research.

Time, Place and Duration:

This is a half-day event, which will take place at the Conference venue, the
Grand Hotel Bernardin Conference Center (Room 6), in the morning session of
Saturday, 28 May 2016.

Invited Speaker: 

Torsten Zesch (University of Duisburg Essen)
''Your Noise is my Research Question! - Limitations of Normalizing Social
Media Data''

Final Call for Papers: 

Topics: 

We invite papers on the following topics of processing social media texts,
that include, but are not limited to the topics of normalisation, analysis
(tokenization, segmentation, classification/clustering, named entity
extraction, parsing, POS tagging, semantic annotation, sentiment analysis,
informality measuring), and application (machine translation, language
generation, dictionary construction, summarization), etc.

Submission of Papers:

Authors are asked to submit their papers in compliance with the style sheet
that will be adopted for the LREC Proceedings (to be announced later on the
conference website).

When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide
essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also
technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the
work described in the paper or are a new result of your research.

Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data,
tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments
(including evaluation ones).

Important Dates:

- Paper submission (extended): 16 February 2016
- Information to authors: 1 March 2016
- Final papers due: 15 March 2016
