Hosted by Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen

Call for Abstracts and Participation

Social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube continue to share user-generated content on a massive scale. User's attempting to find relevant information within such vast and dynamic volumes risk being overwhelmed. In response, efforts are being made to develop new tools and methods that help users make sense of – and make use of – social media sites. In this workshop we will bring together commercial and academic researchers to discuss these issues, and explore the challenges for social media mining. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- new methods or approaches for mining social media data;
- new approaches to model users or other entities in social media;
- analytics in social media;
- evaluation methods for mining and modelling in social media;
- new visualisation approaches for social media (especially multimedia);
- new applications and demonstrations of social media mining in practice.

Invited speakers:
Prof. Barry Smyth (University College Dublin)
Prof. Steve Schifferes (City University London – Dept. of Journalism)

Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts of no more than two (2) pages.
Please send your submissions to sicsa_wshop@rgu.ac.uk by 12th May 2013.
