++ 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 special issue 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 special issue 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:

-  Sentiment and Opinion Detection

-  Argumentation Mining

-  Narrative Summarization

-  Storyline Visualization

-  Temporal Aspects of Storylines

-  Story Evolution and Shift Detection

-  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 ++

Contributions must not have been previously published or be under
consideration for publication elsewhere, although substantial extensions of
conference or workshop papers will be considered. All submissions should be
prepared according to the Guide for Authors at
