Call for Papers: 3rd Workshop on Computational Linguistics for the Political and Social Sciences (CPSS 2023): https://sites.google.com/view/cpss2023konvens/home-page

* Workshop description *

Our workshop aims to bring together researchers and ideas from computational linguistics/NLP and the text-as-data community from political and social science to foster collaboration and catalyze further interdisciplinary research efforts between these communities.

* Potential topics *

- Modeling political communication with NLP (e.g. topic classification, position measurement)

- Mining policy debates from heterogeneous textual sources

- Modeling complex social constructs (e.g. populism, polarization, identity) with NLP methods

- Political bias in language models

- Methodological insights in interdisciplinary collaboration: workflows, challenges, best practices

- Application of NLP methods to understand and support democratic decision making

- Resources and tools for Political/Social Science research

- ... and more

* Important dates *

- Submission deadline: June 14, 2023

- Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2023

- Camera-ready deadline: July 20, 2023

- Workshop: September 22, 2023

The workshop is co-located with KONVENS 2023 in Ingolstadt (https://www.thi.de/konvens-2023).

* Submissions *

We solicit two types of submissions:

- archival papers describing original and unpublished work (long papers: max. 8 pages, references/appendix excluded; short papers: max 4 pages, references/appendix excluded). Accepted papers will be published in the ACL anthology. Submissions will be accepted through softconf (link coming soon). For the submission format, refer to the KONVENS template.

- non-archival papers (1-page abstracts, references excluded) describing already published research or ongoing work

The two formats will meet the need of researchers from different communities, allowing the exchange of ideas in a "get to know each other" environment which we hope will foster future collaborations.

Details on the submission system are to come soon in the 2nd CfP.
