Fourth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Literature -- Call for Papers Number Three and Last

= = = =

Literature is special, so the analysis of literary texts must be, too. A great venue for such special papers (-a is the Fourth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Literature, co-located with NAACL HLT 2015. It will take place in Denver on June 4th. Papers are due by March 4th.

Practically everything we can tell you about the workshop appears on its Web site. Go directly to https://sites.google.com/site/clfl2015/call-for-papers for a list of exciting topics of interest; if your favourite literature-related NLP activity is not there, tell us, and we will add it pronto.

The workshop will feature two excellent invited speakers: Nick Montfort (http://nickm.com/) and Matthew Jockers (http://www.matthewjockers.net/).

Just to tell you what to expect, here are some of the topics from the past workshops: stylistic segmentation of poetry; style, sentiment and imagery in contemporary poetry; social network analysis of "Alice in Wonderland"; learning to extract quotable phrases; recognition of classical Arabic poems; a syntactic investigation of chick lit and literature; clustering voices in "The Waste Land"; parsing screenplays for extracting social networks from movies; structure-based clustering of novels; generating music from literature.
