PEOPLES 2020 : 3rd WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF PEOPLE'S OPINIONS,
PERSONALITY, AND EMOTIONS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Co-located with COLING 2020, Barcelona, Spain

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 fosters 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: 

We encourage the submission of both long and short research papers as well as
opinion statements. We will especially welcome views from different fields,
and will welcome submissions related but not limited to the following topics: 
- opinion, personality and emotion detection in social media
- opinions, personality and emotions and their interactions
- interaction between personality, opinion and emotions with socio-demographic
variables
- interaction between personality, opinion and emotions and geo-spatial
information
- interaction between socio-demographic, personality, opinion and emotions
with politics
- analysis of social networks with attributes (e.g. socio-demographic
attributes or opinions)
- modeling of personality, opinion and emotions from a multimodal perspective
- 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
social media data
- applications of predictive modeling of user traits
- bias-related issues, and the ethics of predictive modeling of user
attributes

***UPDATE:*** We also welcome research that focuses on how the usual PEOPLES
dimensions might have changed or might be changing due to the special
COVID-related circumstances. For example, how relevant traits and their
linguistic representations might have changed.

Important Dates (Updated): 
Submission deadline: September 14, 2020
Notification: October 16, 2020
Camera ready: November 1, 2020
