Apologies for cross-posting,
Submissions are invited to the 6th ICDM Workshop on Sentiment
Elicitation from Natural Text for Information Retrieval and Extraction
(SENTIRE) to be held at ICDM’16 this December in Barcelona. For more

RATIONALE
Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and,
apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents,
in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments
which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora,
chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such
sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce,
tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the
contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such
challenging research problems and wide variety of practical
applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very
active research areas in the last decade.
Our understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are
still limited as natural language understanding techniques are still
pretty weak. Most of current research in sentiment analysis, in fact,
merely relies on machine learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite
most of them being very effective, produce no human understandable
results such that we know little about how and why output values are
obtained. All such approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure
of text, which is far from the way the human mind processes natural
language. Next-generation opinion mining systems should employ
techniques capable to better grasp the conceptual rules that govern
sentiment and the clues that can convey these concepts from realization
to verbalization in the human mind.
TOPICS
SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the
field of opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on
their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their
applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The
broader context of the workshop comprehends Web mining, AI, Semantic
Web, information retrieval and natural language processing. Topics of
interest include but are not limited to :
- Sentiment identification & classification
- Opinion and sentiment summarization & visualization
- Explicit & latent semantic analysis for sentiment mining
- Concept-level opinion and sentiment analysis
- Sentic computing
- Opinion and sentiment search & retrieval
- Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis
- Semantic multidimensional scaling for sentiment analysis
- Multidomain & cross-domain evaluation
- Domain adaptation for sentiment classification
- Multimodal sentiment analysis
- Multimodal fusion for continuous interpretation of semantics
- Multilingual sentiment analysis & re-use of knowledge bases
- Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis
- Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases
- Sentiment corpora & annotation
- Affective knowledge acquisition for sentiment analysis
- Biologically inspired opinion mining
- Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery
- Big social data analysis
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Social media marketing
- Comparative opinion analysis
- Opinion spam detection
SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Authors are required to follow IEEE ICDM Proceedings Author
Guidelines. The paper length is limited to 10 pages, including
references, diagrams, and appendices, if any. However, please note that
page 9 and 10 are considered extra (and, hence, charged) in the final
submission. Manuscripts are to be submitted through CyberChair. Each
submitted paper will be evaluated by three PC members with respect to
its novelty, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and
experiments. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE ICDM proceedings.
Selected, expanded versions of papers presented at the workshop will be
invited to a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on
opinion mining and sentiment analysis.
