CFP: 1st Int'l Workshop on Social Knowledge Discovery and Utilization (SKDU'12)
by Toshiyuki AMAGASA 07 May '12

07 May '12

日本データベース学会のみなさま 5/7 の締切が近づいてきましたので，再度 ASONAM2012 の併設ワークショップ SKDU2012 ご案内します．ソーシャルメディアからの知識発見と利活用をテーマにしておりまして， International Journal of Social Network Mining (IJSNM) への推薦もございます．ぜひご投稿をご検討ください．よろしくお願いいたします．天笠俊之 ______________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 1st Int'l Workshop on Social Knowledge Discovery and Utilization SKDU2012 http://people.cs.aau.dk/~rpan/skdu/ In conjunction with IEEE/ACM ASONAM2012, Istanbul, Turkey, August 26-29, 2012. (http://www.asonam2012.etu.edu.tr/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Today the emergence of web-based communities and hosted services such as social networking sites, microbloggings, wikis and folksonomies, brings in tremendous freedom of Web autonomy and facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing between users. Along with the interaction between users and computers, social cyberspace is rapidly becoming an important part of our digital experience, ranging from digital textual information to diverse multimedia forms. These aspects and characteristics constitute of the core of second generation of Web. Some sorts of on-the-fly experience is learned and obtained by daily users. This type of experience can, in addition, be recognized as a particular way to cultivate domain knowledge. One typical instance is friend-sourcing. Friend-sourcing gathers social information in a social context, which information can be used to personalize users's computing experiences, for example to aid question answering for topics comprehensible only to a few of a user's friends. A prominent challenge lies in modeling and mining this vast pool of data to extract, represent and distribute the meaningful knowledge and to utilize structures and dynamics of the social knowledge, such as emerging social networks residing in the social media, for better user experience and satisfaction. This workshop attempts to fill the gap between social experience and knowledge discovery and utiliztion, encouraging to share achievements, experiments, and ideas from the perspective of knowledge discovery and data mining, and to propose a range of strategies and practices to identify, create, represent, distribute, and enable the adoption of novel insights and experiences for knowledge utilization. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The main goals of the workshop are: (1) to create a platform to discuss latest issues, trends, solutions, and cutting-edge research strategies in knowledge discovery and utilization in context of social cyberspace; (2) to bring together acdemic researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss problems, current studies, and solutions on how the knowledge is discovered and utilized in a socialized environment to facilitate human experience and satisfaction. We solicit original and high quality submissions addressing all aspects of this field. The topics of interest include, but are not be limited to the following: - Computational models for social media - Influence, trust, and privacy - Search in social networks and social media - Interoperability among social applications and social media - Techniques for social-network analysis/mining and for the analysis of social-media phenomena - Adversarial blogging and counter measures - Counter-Terror social network analysis - Social networking security risks - Social engineering through social networks - Data privacy in Social Networks - Secure information sharing in online communities - Social networking safety - Security issues in mobile social networking - Trust-based social networks - Anonymization of social network datasets - Link analysis and network structure discovery - Community detection and evolution - Blog search and retrieval - Group interaction, collaboration, and recommendation - Knowledge discovery (collective wisdom, trend analysis, and topic detection) - Social aspects of Blogosphere - Human interface and interaction techniques for social media ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to the workshop topics are solicited. These papers will follow an academic review process. Full paper manuscripts must be in English with a maximum length of 8 pages (using the IEEE two-column template). Papers should be submitted to the EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=skdu2012 Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, technical depth, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Paper submission implies that at least one of the authors will do a full registration and go to present the paper if their paper is accepted. All papers accepted for workshop will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Hence all the rules and regulations of IEEE CPS will be applied as explained in the following link: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/policies ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission: May 7, 2012 (PST) Notification: June 4, 2012 (PST) Camera-ready deadline: June 15, 2012 (PST) Author registration: June 15, 2012 (PST) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL ISSUE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The extended versions of selected papers presented during the SKDU 2012 workshop will be invited for a special issue of International Journal of Social Network Mining (IJSNM): http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijsnm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Toshiyuki Amagasa, University of Tsukuba, Japan Guandong Xu, Victoria University, Australia Tieyun Qian, Wuhuan University, China Zeki Bozkus, Kadir Has University, Turkey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Master and Publicity Chair ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rong Pan, Aalborg University, Denmark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Muhammad A Ahmad, University of Minnesota,Twin Cities, USA Songul Albayrak, Yildiz University, Turkey Taner Arsan Arsan, Kadir Has University, Turkey James Bailey, University of Melbourne, Australia Ahmet Bulut, Istanbul Sehir University, Turkey Ling Chen, UTS, Australia Peter Dolog, Aalborg University, Denmark Ersin Elbasi, Tubitak, Turkey Cesim Erten, Kadir Has University, Turkey Flavius Frasincar, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherland Irene Garrigos, University of Alicante, Spain Paolo Garza, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Xueqing Gong, Eastern China Normal University, China Yanhui Gu, University of Tokyo, Japan Takako Hashimoto, Chiba University of Commerce, Japan Ben He, GUCAS, China Ralf Klamma, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Wenxin Liang, Dalian University of Technology, China Akiyo Nadamoto, Konan University, Japan Shinsuke Nakajima, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan Satoshi Nakamura, Kyoto University, Japan Darko Obradovic, GMX, Germany Kenta Oku, Ritsumeikan University, Japan Shingo Otsuka, Kanagawa Institute of Technology, Japan Sherif Sakr, NICTA and UNSW, Australia Munehiko Sasajima, Osaka University, Japan Mingsheng Shang, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China Xiaohui Tao, University of Southern Queensland, Australia Julien Velcin, University of Lyon, France Daling Wang, Northeastern University, China Zongda Wu, Wenzhou University, China Zhenglu Yang, University of Tokyo, Japan Jianwei Zhang, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan Xiuzhen Zhang, RMIT, Australia Tingshao Zhu, GUCAS, China Yu Zong, West Anhui University, China

タスク参加募集 NTCIR-10 1CLICK-2 [サンプルクエリ公開中]
by Makoto Kato 02 May '12

02 May '12

日本データベース学会の皆様，（重複して受け取られた場合にはご容赦ください）京都大学の加藤と申します．モバイル検索などにおいて，検索ボタンを押した直後にユーザを満足させるタスクのご案内です．奮ってご参加ください．また，サンプルクエリが公開されましたので，下記よりご覧ください． http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kato/1click2/samples.html ################################################### CALL FOR TASK PARTICIPATION NTCIR-10 1CLICK-2 Task: One Click Access for English and Japanese *NEW: Sample queries and iUnits are now available!* Please visit the 1CLICK-2 website: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/tesakai/1click2.aspx or the sample query website: http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kato/1click2/samples.html Test queries released: Aug 2012 Evaluation results released: Feb 2013 Final NTCIR-10 workshop: June 18-21 2013 ################################################### ### OVERVIEW ### Unlike traditional search engines that return a ranked list of web pages, One Click Access systems return a short multi-document summary of webpages and aim to satisfy the user immediately after a click on the SEARCH button. Systems must aim to return important pieces of information and to minimise the amount of text the user has to read. These requirements are particularly important in mobile environments. 1CLICK-1 at NTCIR-9 only considered a Japanese task, but for this second round (1CLICK-2), we are expanding our scope to English. Moreover, while 1CLICK-1 considered only four query types (CELEBRITY, LOCAL, DEFINITION and QA), 1CLICK-2 will use a more fine-grained taxonomy comprising eight query types. Evaluation will be based on "information units" (iUnits), also often referred to as "nuggets". As in 1CLICK-1, we will use S-measure from Sakai/Kato/Song CIKM'11 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/tesakai/cikmfp0040-sakai.pdf and will also consider developing new evaluation methods based on Pavlu et al. WSDM'12 http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2124295.2124343 ### TASKS ### Japanese Main Task Given a Japanese query, return an X-character string that contain important information (X=500,140). This is basically the same as the 1CLICK-1 task. English Main Task Similar to the Japanese Main Task except that query and the output are in English. Query Classification Subtask (for Japanese and English) Given a query, classify it into one of the eight known query types. In addition to queries, the organisers will provide query suggestion data and baseline web search results to enhance repeatability and fairness, and to encourage newcomers to participate. ### IMPORTANT DATES ### April 2012 sample queries and nuggets released Aug 2012 test queries, query suggestions and baseline runs released Sept 2012 run submissions due Oct 2012 nugget match evaluation begins Jan 2013 nugget match evaluation ends Feb 2013 evaluation results released March 2013? draft papers due May 2013? camera ready papers due June 2013 NTCIR-10 ### HOW TO PARTICIPATE ### Task registration page will be available soon on the NTCIR-10 website (see below). We encourage new participants to have a look at the 1CLICK-1 overview paper to familiarise themselves with the task: http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/workshop/OnlineProceedings9/NTCIR/01-NTCIR9… Please note: task participants must write a paper for the NTCIR-10 meeting (unrefereed) and attend the meeting at NII, Tokyo in June 2013. ### ORGANISERS ### Makoto Kato, Kyoto University, Japan Takehiro Yamamoto, Kyoto University, Japan Mayu Iwata, Osaka University, Japan Matthew Ekstrand-Abueg, Northeastern University, USA Shahzad Rajput, Northeastern University, USA Virgil Pavlu, Northeastern University, USA Zhicheng Dou, MSRA, China Young-In Song, MSRA, China Tetsuya Sakai, MSRA, China ## QUESTIONS?
