The Content Analysis track welcomes submissions of original, high-quality research papers related to the extraction of information — broadly construed to include factual, subjective, social, behavioral, personal, historical, and economic knowledge —– expressed in whole or in part in natural-language format in any manner of on-line source. We encourage submissions both on techniques for performing this extraction and on insights gained from analysis facilitated by this extraction.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following (listed in no particular order), especially as they resonate with the spirit expressed in the previous paragraph:
- Language-analysis techniques
- Bridging unstructured and structured data
- Multi-lingual and cross-lingual settings
- Sentiment analysis and opinion mining
- Information diffusion
- Normalization, clustering, classification, and summarization of text and natural-language items (broadly construed)
- Insights from natural-language analysis of social media
- Novel applications
