Dear magdalena,
I would love to participate remotely (via a streaming platform) in PAN 22, but I can't afford the fee for registration, so beacuse I didn't recieve any details about being exempted from paying the fee, I'm just participating by submitting a paper in CLEF 2022.

In the framework of three research projects - one funded by EC on the
detection of multimodal information on anti-vax and anti-immigrant
movements, and two funded by Spain on disinformation and hate speech,
and on fairness and transparency in NLP (FairTransNLP-Stereotypes) -
Santa will bring to the Pattern Recognition and Human Language Technology
Research Center (PHRLT) at the Universitat Politècnica de València,
two postdoc and one 3-year PhD positions.

We invite applications for joint pre- and post-doctoral positions in
Natural Language Processing and Social Media Studies.

Qualification requirements:

In order to be considered for the postdoc positions, applicants should have
a PhD within Natural Language Processing or Digital Humanities with a
particular
focus on Natural Language Processing. For the PhD position, applicants should
have preferably a M.Sc. in computer science or related discipline.

The following qualifications are required:
- Knowledge in Natural Language Processing SOTA models (especially for
the postdoc positions)
- Experience with working with textual data, preferably from social media
- A positive, curiosity-driven attitude
- Enthusiasm and commitment!

What we offer to you:

- Two first 18-month postdoc contracts with potential for continuity /
one 3-year PhD contract
- Joining an interdisciplinary team working in NLP, ML, and Social Sciences
- Being involved in one of the above research projects
- The possibility to live in Spain (Valencia) for a while: always an
attractive place where to live!

In order to keep this email short, please feel free to contact me by
email to know more about the positions.
Interested applicants should send their CV by January 31 by email to:

Conspiracy theories are complex narratives that attempt to explain the
ultimate causes of significant events as cover plots orchestrated by
secret, powerful, and malicious groups. A challenging aspect of
identifying conspiracy stems from the difficulty of distinguishing
critical thinking from conspiratorial thinking. This distinction is
vital because labeling a message as conspiratorial when it is only
oppositional could drive those who were simply asking questions into
the arms of the conspiracy communities.

At PAN 2024 we aim at analyzing texts that reflect oppositional
thinking and contain either conspiracy or critical narratives:
https://pan.webis.de/clef24/pan24-web/oppositional-thinking-analysis.html

The task will address two new challenges for the research community:
(1) to distinguish the conspiracy narrative from other oppositional
narratives that do not express a conspiracy mentality (i.e., critical
thinking); and (2) to identify in online messages the key elements of
a narrative that fuels the intergroup conflict in oppositional
thinking. To this end we provide two Telegram text datasets, one
English and one Spanish, and we propose two sub-tasks:

1. Distinguishing between critical and conspiracy texts, a binary
classification task aimed at differentiating between critical messages
that question major decisions in the public health domain, but do not
promote a conspiracist mentality; and messages that view the pandemic
or public health decisions as a result of a malevolent conspiracy by
secret, influential groups.

2. Detecting elements of the oppositional narratives, a token-level
classification task aimed at recognizing text spans corresponding to
the key elements of oppositional narratives, where each annotation
corresponds to a narrative element, and is described by its span and
its category (there are six distinct span categories: AGENT,
FACILITATOR, VICTIM, CAMPAIGNER, OBJECTIVE, NEGATIVE_EFFECT).

We propose the task both in English and in Spanish. Although we
recommend to participate in both languages, it is possible to address
the problem just in one language.

The training dataset (where the authors have been anonymised and
neutral labels have been used) can be requested via Zenodo:
