2nd International Workshop on Event Analytics using Social Media Data(EASM 2017)
In conjunction with THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL AAAI CONFERENCE ON WEB AND SOCIAL MEDIA (ICWSM-17)
May 15th 2017, Montreal, Canada
Call for Papers:
Social media channels enjoy many advantages over traditional media channels, such as ubiquity, mobility, immediacy, and seamless communication in reporting, covering and sharing real-world events, e.g., the Boston bombings, the NBA finals, and the U.S Presidential elections. Given these advantages, social media posts such as tweets can typically reflect events as they happen, in real-time. Despite these benefits, social media channels also tend to be noisy, chaotic, and overwhelming. As a result, the vast amount of noisy social media data poses tremendous challenges for conducting in-depth analysis, which is critical to applications for event playback, journalistic investigation, storytelling, etc.
The purpose of this half-day workshop is to bring together researchers that are working in a variety of areas that are all related to the larger problem of analyzing and understanding events using social media responses, to discuss: 1) what are the recently developed machine learning and data mining techniques that can be leveraged to address challenges in analyzing events using social media data, and 2) from challenges in analyzing events, what are the practical research directions in the machine learning and data mining community.
Topics of Interest:
We encourage submissions on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:
Novel approaches for event analysis on social media Novel approaches for detecting events from social media Novel applications of event analysis, e.g., Multimedia and cross-media event analysis. Domain-specific social media mining and analytics, such as: sports events analysis, political event analysis, etc User modeling and personalization for event recommendation Opinion mining and sentiment analysis using social media data Evaluation techniques targeted at social media Industrial practices and implementations of event analysis systems
Submission
