DEADLINE EXTENDED to Nov 12, 2018
Affect analysis refers to the set of techniques which identify and measure the ‘experience of an emotion’. This interdisciplinary workshop focuses on analyzing affect in content including text, audio, images, and videos. The word ‘affective’ is used to refer to emotion, sentiment, personality, mood, and attitudes including subjective evaluations, opinions, and speculations. All methods and models that measure affective responses to content are in the scope of the workshop. We encourage interdisciplinary participation and cross-disciplinary approaches from computational linguistics (CL), consumer psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), marketing science and cognitive science, among others.
The theme of the 2nd Affective Content Analysis workshop is "Modeling Affect-in-Action" and we're announcing a Shared Task (see CL-Aff Shared Task CFP) to encourage the development of new models and approaches for modeling happy moments. This Shared Task is based on the HappyDB corpus.
Invited Speakers
- Ellen Riloff (University of Utah)
- Alon Halevy (Megagon Labs)
- Lyle Ungar (University of Pennsylvania)
- Pranav Anand (University of Santa Cruz)
List of Topics
The theme of the 2nd Affective Content Analysis workshop is “Modeling Affect in Action.” We welcome submissions on topics including (but not limited to):
- Machine learning and Deep learning models for affect modeling in content (image, audio, and video)
- Affect-aware text generation
- Spoken and formal language comparison
- Measurement and evaluation of affective content
- Affective commonsense reasoning
- Affective human-agent, -computer, and-robot interaction
- Multimodal emotion recognition and sentiment analysis
- Psycho-demographic profiling
- Psycho-linguistics, including stylometrics and typography
- Modeling consumer’s affect reactions
- Computational models for consumer behavior theories
- Consumer psychology at scale from big data
We especially invite papers investigating multiple related themes, industry papers, and descriptions of running projects and ongoing work.
CALL FOR DATASETS AND RESOURCES
We also invite dataset papers which describe new data resources. Dataset paper submissions must comprise:
The data itself -- organized as a single dataset or a group of datasets, and
Metadata which describes data collection and processing methods, documentation of the structure and descriptive statistics about the content and quality of the dataset. Authors should describe potential uses and applications of the dataset, but any sophisticated analysis can be a regular paper submission.
All papers must follow AAAI formatting guidelines.
