The Content Analysis track welcomes submissions of original, high-quality papers related to the extraction of information from, and the analysis of, Web content that is wholly or partially expressed in natural language. 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, principled and scalable 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 insight 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 and text mining
- information visualization as applied to Web data
- event extraction and monitoring
- topic discovery
- sentiment analysis and opinion mining
- social science research based on social media
- detecting deception, fakes and disinformation
- insights from natural language analysis of social media
- content-based information diffusion
- bridging unstructured and structured data
- statistical and machine learning for text
- novel applications
