The Content Analysis track welcomes submissions of original, high-quality research papers related to the extraction of information from, and the analysis of, Web content that is wholly or partially expressed in natural-language format. The resulting information is broadly construed to include factual, subjective, scientific, social, behavioral, personal, historical, economic, and financial knowledge in natural language. The result of analysis includes any abstract, aggregate, or summarized knowledge such as clusters, topics, classifications, predictions, recommendations, and trends that are useful in the real world. We especially encourage submissions that propose novel and principled techniques or algorithms that can exploit the special characteristics of the Web and social media for the extraction and analysis of Web content. In addition to new techniques and algorithms, we also seek submissions that explore insights gained in the process.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following (listed in no particular order).
- Language-analysis techniques
- Normalization, clustering, classification, and summarization of Web text
- Multi-lingual and cross-lingual analysis and mining
- Information extraction
- Event extraction and monitoring
- Topic discovery
- Sentiment analysis and opinion mining.
- Social science research based on social media
- Detecting deceptions, fakes and disinformation
- Insights from natural-language analysis of social media
- Content-based Information diffusion
- Bridging ustructured and structured data
