- Workshop: March 26th, 2018

++ Overview ++
The increasing availability of text information in the form of news
articles, comments or posts in social networks poses new challenges
for those who aim to understand the storyline of an event. Although
understanding natural language text has improved over the last couple
of years with several research works emerging on the grounds of
information extraction and text mining, the problem of constructing
consistent narrative structures is yet to be solved. It is not only
the algorithms that need to be improved, but also the state-of-the-art
that needs to advance in order to provide methods that automatically
identify, interpret and relate the different elements of a narrative
which will be likely spread from different sources. In this workshop
we aim to foster the discussion of recent advances in the link between
Information Retrieval (IR) and formal narrative representations from
texts. More specifically, we aim to capture a wide range of
multidisciplinary issues related to the text-to-narrative-structure
and to its various related tasks. This is a very rich line of research
that poses many challenging problems in information retrieval, text
mining, information extraction, computational linguistics and
automatic production of media content.

++ List of Topics ++
Research works submitted to the workshop should foster the scientific
advance on all aspects of storyline generation from texts including
but not limited to narrative and content generation, formal
representation, and visualization of narratives. This includes the
following topics:

-  Event Identification
-  Narrative Representation Language
-  Sentiment and Opinion Detection
-  Argumentation Mining
-  Narrative Summarization
-  Storyline Visualization
-  Temporal Aspects of Storylines
-  Story Evolution and Shift Detection
-  Causal Relation Extraction and Arrangement
-  Evaluation Methodologies for Narrative Extraction
-  Big data applied to Narrative Extraction
-  Resources and Dataset showcase
-  Personalization and Recommendation
-  User Profiling and User Behavior Modeling
-  Credibility
-  Fact Checking
-  Bots Influence

++ Submission Guidelines ++
We invite two kinds of submissions (max 6 pages):
-  Research papers
-  Demos and position papers

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through Easy
Chair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=text2story>. All
submissions must be in English. LNCS style

Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the
programme committee.

++ Workshop Format ++
Participants of accepted papers will be given 15 minutes for short
oral presentation. All papers will also be presented in an interactive
poster session.
