2007 International Workshop on Social Media Analysis

Silicon Valley, USA, November 2-5, 2007
http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~sma

Workshop of 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web
Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'07)

Social media like weblogs, online forums, photo and video sharing
services have revolutionized our ways of sharing information and
interacting with each other. Companies can now collect different
types of business intelligence from the blogosphere for setting their
own strategies in a more dynamic fashion. The blossom of social media
opens up new opportunities and creates new information and knowledge
management challenges as the media continues to grow.

This workshop solicits original research work addressing fundamental
computational issues on the analysis of social media. Topics include
but not limited to:

* Intelligent crawling, indexing and content management
* Text processing and analysis for social media (e.g., pre-
preprocessing, information extraction, clustering, classification,
sentiment analysis, polarity identification, etc.)
* Mutimedia content processing, tagging, classification, indexing and
retrieval
* Context-aware searching
* User behaviour analysis and profiling
* Collaborative filtering and personalization
* Social network analysis and community mining techniques
* Trend identification and tracking
* Intelligent human web interaction for on-line community
visualization and navigation
* Intelligent systems for collaborative ontology building
* Emerging semantics analysis
* Web 2.0 and other innovative social media applications
