EMOJI CONFERENCE
May of this year will usher in Emoji 2019: 2nd International Workshop on Emoji Understanding and Applications in Social Media. Co-located with The Web Conference 2019 (formerly WWW)
Overall 2019 is going to give us some of the new emoji we have been waiting for. We will continue to learn and expand our understanding of these little symbols.
Emoji 2019 aims to stimulate research on understanding social, cultural, communicative, and linguistic roles of emoji and developing novel approaches to analyze, interpret and understand emoji and their usage in social media applications. It provides a forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry in the areas of social network analysis and mining, natural language processing, computational linguistics, human-computer interaction, and computational social sciences to discuss high-quality research and emerging applications, to exchange ideas and experience, and to identify new opportunities for collaboration.
We hope to see you there!
