TA-COS 2018: Call for Papers
TA-COS 2018 - 2nd Workshop on Text Analytics for Cybersecurity and Online Safety (LREC 2018) The TA-COS workshop aims to bring together researchers that have an active interest in the development and application of text analytics systems in the broad context of cybersecurity. We welcome research papers on text analytics and text mining approaches that (1) help reduce the exposure to harmful content on the Internet, (2) detect illegal online activities and (3) monitor user-generated content in the context of real-life security threats. We are confident this workshop will allow for fruitful discussions on technological advances, privacy issues, data acquisition methods and other common goals and challenges that researchers face when deploying language technology tools for cybersecurity applications. Please visit http://ta-cos.org for more details on the first run of the workshop, including the proceedings of the workshop. We invite papers on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to: - text analytics tools for cybersecurity applications - annotated corpora for the development and validation of cybersecurity applications - text-based detection of cyberbullying behavior on social network sites - systems for the early detection of threats to emotional well-being, such as announcements of potential suicide and auto-mutilation, pro-suicide sites, ... - moderator tools for the detection of offensive user-generated content (e.g. racism, sexual content, profanity, ...) - text analytics tools for the detection of illegal activities (e.g. terrorism threats, drug trade, ...) - text analytics tools for the detection of sexually transgressive behavior (e.g. stalking, grooming, ...) - intervention systems for the detection of radicalization and criminalization of teenagers - author profiling tools for the detection of identity fraud, "catfishing", … - position papers on fair and responsible use of text-based cybersecurity technologies (privacy concerns, ...) IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: January 12, 2018 Notification of acceptance: February 12, 2018 Workshop: May 12, 2018 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Els Lefever - LT3 - Ghent University Guy De Pauw - Textgain / University of Antwerp Bart Desmet - LT3 - Ghent University http://ta-cos.org |
