************************************************************************************


We invite contributions from researchers in computer science, NLP, ML, DL,
AI, socio-political sciences, conflict analysis and forecasting, peace
studies, as well as computational social science scholars involved in the
collection and utilization of socio-political event data. This includes
(but is not limited to) the following topics


1) Extracting events and their arguments such as time and location in and
beyond a sentence or document, event coreference resolution.

2) Research in NLP technologies in relation to event detection: geocoding,
temporal reasoning, argument structure detection, syntactic and semantic
analysis of event structures, text classification,  for event type
detection, learning event-related lexica, event co-reference resolution,
fake news analysis, and others with a focus on real or potential event
detection applications.

3) New datasets, training data collection, and annotation for event
information.

4) Event-event relations, e.g., subevents, main events, spatio-temporal
relations, causal relations.

5) Event dataset evaluation in light of reliability and validity metrics.

6) Defining, populating, and facilitating event schemas and ontologies.

7) Automated tools and pipelines for event collection related tasks.

8) Lexical, syntactic, semantic, discursive, and pragmatic aspects of event
manifestation.

9) Methodologies for development, evaluation, and analysis of event
datasets.

10) Applications of event databases, e.g. early warning, conflict
prediction, and policymaking.

11) Estimating what is missing in event datasets using internal and
external information.

12) Detection of new and emerging socio-political event (SPE) types, e.g.
creative protests.

13) Release of new event datasets.

14) Bias and fairness of the sources and event datasets.

15) Ethics, misinformation, privacy, and fairness concerns pertaining to
event datasets.

16) Copyright issues on event dataset creation, dissemination, and sharing.

17) Cross-lingual, multilingual and multimodal aspects in event analysis.

18) Resources and approaches related to contentious politics around climate
change.

*** Keynotes ***

We will continue our tradition of inviting keynote speakers from both
social and computational sciences. The social science keynote will be
delivered by Erdem Yörük with the title “Using Automated Text Processing to
Understand Social Movements and Human Behaviour” and the computational ones
will be delivered by Ruslan Mitkov and Kiril Simov.
