6th International Workshop on Modeling Social Media - Behavioral Analytics in Social Media, Big Data and the Web
We are pleased to announce the 6th International Workshop on Modeling Social Media co-located with the 24th International World Wide Web Conference, 18-22 May 2015, Florence, Italy.
Submission deadline Jan 31 (extended) Jan 24, 2015.
Objectives
For the 6h International Workshop on Modeling Social Media, we aim to attract researchers from all over the world working in the field of behavioral analytics using web and social media data. Behavioral analytics is an important topic, e.g., concerning web applications as well as extensions in mobile and ubiquitous applications, for understanding user behavior. We would also like to invite researchers in the data and web mining community to lend their expertise to help to increase our understanding of the web and social media.
Thus, we invite submissions which may include the following topics, but are not limited to:
- Behavioral analytics methods or frameworks for social media, big data and the web
- approaches for personalization and recommendations
- methods for social structure and community discovery
- methods for tie strength or link prediction
- methods for extracting and understanding user and group behavior
- methods for predicting user behavior
- methods for user modelling and profiling
- applications of behavioural analytics
- privacy and security in behavioural analytics
- applications of any of the above methods and technologies
The goal of this workshop is to apply behavioral analytics approaches and algorithms on social media, big data and the web. Hence, the workshop aims to attract and discuss various novel aspects of personalization, recommendation, community discovery, profiling and prediction from social media.
