IEEE DSC 2016 Workshop on Social Media Processing (SMP)

SCOPE

  With the blessing of information technology, we are living in an increasingly networked world. People, information and other entities are connected via World Wide Web, email networks, instant messaging networks, mobile communication networks, online social networks, etc. These online networks grow fast and possess huge amount of recorded information, which presents great opportunities in understanding the science of these networks, and in developing new applications for these networks. However, new challenges have to be met --- the networks are huge and information is noisy, and they demand new methodologies in analyzing these networks, and in developing theories and applications for the networks.
  The goal of the special issue is to provide a forum for presenting the most recent advances in data mining/machine learning on social media processing, related to Web search and information retrieval, Web mining, social network analysis, semantic Web, natural language processing/text mining, and computational advertising. We are particularly interested in articles that address how to handle crisis and disaster situations through the help of social Web and mining.

1. Social content processing
2. Social network analysis and complex systems
