SocialNLP@ACL 2020 Call for Paper!
EmotionX challenge Call for Participants!
To encourage research in the area of SocialNLP, we have organized a SocialNLP SIG-group in AFNLP since 2012 (website: https://sites.google.com/site/socialnlp/home ) and made it a yearly based work-shop series. Through this workshop, we anticipate to provide a platform for research outcome presentation and head-to-head discussion in the area of SocialNLP, with the hope to combine the insight and experience of prominent researchers from both NLP and social computing fields to jointly contribute to the area of SocialNLP.
Some exciting things this year are that we continue organizing EmotionX challenge with a new task and calling for data papers in addition to technical papers to reach our aim of making resources and data available to the research community. For participation please find the EmotionX registration site here:
