Invited speakers: Dipankar Chakravarti (VirginiaTech), James Pennebaker (University of Texas Austin), Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil (Cornell University), Lyle Ungar (University of Pennsylvania) We invite submissions on topics including text and multimedia, multilingual analysis and affective content understanding, applications of affect–based language processing, spoken vs. written language comparison, and analysis of online text content: both user generated and planned marketing communication.
