Meeting Description:

Peoples: Workshop on Computational Modeling of People’s Opinions, Personality,
and Emotions in Social Media

http://malvinanissim.github.io/PEOPLES 

Co-located with COLING 2016, Osaka, Japan

On social media, users nowadays freely express what is on their mind at any
moment in time, at any location, and about virtually anything. These large
amounts of spontaneously produced texts open up a unique opportunity to learn
more about such users, e.g., predicting demographic variables (age, gender),
but also personality types, as well as emotions and opinion expressions.
Aspects of human personality and behavior have been mostly studied in
isolation, often in different - but related - communities. We believe that the
time is ripe to bring these communities a step closer, to study people’s
traits and expressions jointly and in their interplay.

This COLING 2016 Workshop intends to bring together researchers in
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing who share an
interest in personality, opinion and emotion detection, and especially in
researching the intertwining of such traits and expressions.

Call for Papers:

We especially welcome views from different fields on how to treat the
different aspects, and welcome submissions related but not limited to the
following topics:

- Opinion, personality and emotion detection in social media
- Predicting demographic variables and author traits (gender, age,
personality)
- Opinions, personality and emotions and their interactions
- Interaction between personality, opinion and emotions with demographic
variables (age, gender)
- Interaction between personality, opinion and emotions and geo-spatial
information (geographic locations and places)
- Interaction between personality, opinion and emotions with politics
- Personality, opinion and emotions and social network analysis
- Modeling of personality, opinion and emotions from a multimodal perspective
- Exploitation of the different degree of stability of the various traits
- Reflections on the definition of personal traits
- Applications of predictive modeling of user traits
- On the ethics of predictive modeling of social variables

Paper Submission:

Standard research papers should be a maximum of 8 pages long, plus two extra
pages for references. We also encourage submission of short papers of maximum
4 pages long, plus two extra pages for references. All papers should be
electronically submitted in PDF format via the START system: 

https://www.softconf.com/coling2016/PEOPLES 

Submissions must be anonymous and follow the Coling 2016 formatting
guidelines.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: September 25, 2016
Notification: October 16, 2016
Camera ready: October 30, 2016
Workshop: December 12, 2016

Organisers:

Malvina Nissim, University of Groningen

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
