POLTEXT 2016 

International Conference on the Advances in Computational Analysis of
Political Text 

14 - 16 JULY 2016 - DUBROVNIK, CROATIA 

Dear Colleagues, 

It is a pleasure to invite you to the International Conference on the
Advances in Computational Analysis of Political Text - POLTEXT 2016. 

Technological developments, digital media, and advances in open
government practices have made a vast amount of information available
for social scientists. Most of this information is available as text.
News portals disseminate political stories at unprecedented rates,
politicians and political elites advertise their own messages through
social media outlets and crowdsourcing provides new affordable and quick
venues for asking citizens what they think about politics. With
political texts at our fingertips, vexing research questions are
emerging. 

Extracting, organizing, and analyzing large amounts of textual
information can be quite resource-intensive with many political
scientists lacking the skills necessary for dealing with such data.
Fortunately, recent developments of cutting edge computational
technologies such as natural language-processing, machine learning, and
information extraction techniques has made research utilizing
text-as-data more accessible and appealing. On the other hand,
computational scholars equipped with novel technologies and linguistic
solutions often have less experience with social science theories and
less contextual knowledge about political data. There is a mutual
benefit in connecting disparate worlds of computational text analysis
and political science in analyzing political research problems. The aim
of this conference is to facilitate this multidisciplinary cooperation. 

We are interested in contributions on computational approaches in
analysing political text such as government speeches, political debates,
social media, media content, party manifestos and/or legislation. 

This conference is looking for, but not limited to, contributions from
the following topics with a focus on politically relevant data: 
* text categorization
* topic modeling
* information extraction
* corpus analysis
* sentiment analysis
* stance classification and ideal point estimation
* argumentation mining
* political reputation analysis
* techniques for multilingual text analysis
* other language technologies 

Key information 

We invite abstract proposals from interested scholars from all
disciplines. Proposals should not exceed 500 words in length. Abstracts
should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=poltext2016 [3]) conference
submission website. 

Accommodation will be provided for one author of each accepted paper. We
encourage participation of junior scholars and doctoral students by
providing a number of travel grants (up to 300 Euros). We will also
provide assistance in finding accommodation at discount rates for
co-authors. 

Please find more information about the conference, speakers and proposal
submission on the conference website www.poltext2016.net [4] or contact
us at poltext2016 la gmail.com. 

ABSTRACT DEADLINE: 1 FEBRUARY 2016. 
NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE 15 MARCH 2016. 

Sincerely, 

Organizing Committee
