Meeting Description:

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  language use in connection with socio-demographic as well
as opinion-related variables.  However, such variables have been mostly
studied in isolation, often in different - but related - communities. PEOPLES 
aims  at  bringing  these  diverse  communities  a  step  closer  to  each 
other,  to  study people's traits and expressions jointly and in their
interplay. This foster studies on their  interaction, and on how their
computational modelling impacts both NLP and society.  This is important also
in light of recent active discussions regarding ethical and bias-related
aspects in NLP. 
PEOPLES  2020  would  be  the  continuation  of  successful  editions  that 
were  held  at  COLING 2016 and NAACL 2018, by continuing to provide a forum
for researchers who share an interest in personality, opinion and emotion
detection, as well as the impact of this work on society.


Call for papers:

- multilingual approaches to demographic inference from social media
- multilingual approaches to opinion, emotions and personality detection
- cross-cultural analysis of opinion, emotions, personality in multilingual
