June 13 or 14, 2013, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Submission deadline: March 1, 2013

First Call for Papers

(Apologies for multiple postings)

The amount of literary material available on-line keeps growing rapidly:
there are machine-readable texts from libraries, collections and e-book
stores, as well as "live" literature such as e-zines, blogs or
self-published e-books. We need tools to help navigate, visualize and
better appreciate the high volume of available literature.

We invite papers on applying state-of-the art NLP methods to literary
data. What characteristics of literature make it special? Is it, indeed,
a unique type of language data? How should we adapt our tools to find
meaning in literary text? What lessons from automatic processing of
literature could apply to other types of data?

Position papers are welcome, too.

Topics of interest (suitably related topics are welcome):

- the needs of the readers and how those needs translate into meaningful
  NLP tasks;
- searching for literature;
- recommendation systems for literature;
- computational modelling of narratives, computational narratology;
- summarization of literature;
- finding similar books;
- differences between literature and other genres as relevant to
  computational linguistics;
- discourse structure in literature;
- emotion analysis for literature;
- profiling and authorship attribution;
- identification and analysis of literature genres;
- building and analyzing social networks of characters;
- generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry

announcements and updates, sits at:
