Meeting Description:
Social media is a constant in our life, influencing the way we think,
interact, learn, consolidate relationships and understand society. As a result
of the rapid worldwide acceptance and usage of social media, more and more
content is becoming available as each day passes. Both because of its
importance and its increasing volume, it is not surprising that information
from Social Media is rapidly becoming an essential source for natural language
processing (NLP) research.
At the same time, Linked Data is emerging as an increasingly important topic
for NLP. Work in the field has produced massive amounts of linguistic data,
including annotated corpora, lexicons, databases, and ontologies, in formats
that enable their exploitation in the Semantic Web. Linking the contents of
these resources to each other as well as to common ontologies can enable
access to and discovery of detailed linguistic information and could foster a
major leap forward in NLP research and development.
RUMOUR-2017 aims to gather innovative approaches for exploitation of social
media using semantic web technologies and linked data by bringing together
research on the Semantic Web, Linked Data, and the Social Sciences. The main
objective of this workshop is to consolidate an internationally appreciated
forum for scientific research in ICT, with emphasis on crowdsourcing, semantic
web, knowledge integration and data linking.
The workshop will bring together practitioners, researchers, and scholars to
share examples, use cases, theories, and analysis of social media and linked
data in order to address the intersection among these areas. This intersection
includes not only the challenges of problems such as the understanding and
acting upon large-scale data of different kinds, provenance, and reliability,
but also the use of these media for data management, which involves issues of
credibility, accountability, trustworthiness, privacy, authenticity, and
provision of provenance information.
Call for Papers:
The scientific program of RUMOUR-2017 will focus around the following topics:
- Social media and linked data methodologies in real-life scenarios;
- Creating and using structured social media-based resources through social
web mining;
- Novel analytical tools and methodologies for knowledge discovery;
- Semantic annotation;
- Ontological modeling of social media data;
- Integration of social media with linked data;
- Web of data applications for the society;
- Extracting, understanding and predicting user and group behavior;
- Exploring crowdsourcing and user communities;
- Interactive interfaces and visual analytics methods;
- Collaborative tools and services for citizens, organizations, communities;
- Computational social science for the semantic web;
- Strategic early warning systems and detection of week signals;
- User profiling, trustworthiness and assessing the suitability of social
media content;
- Sentiment analysis in social media and linked data;
- Using the social web to foster innovation.
Important dates:
Abstract submission: April 20, 2017
Submission of papers: April 27, 2017
Notification of acceptance: May 11, 2017
Early registration deadline: May 19, 2017
Camera-ready papers : June 01, 2017
Workshop date: June 22, 2017
Submission:
We invite submissions of both long (up to 8 pages) and short (up to 4 pages)
papers, representing original, previously unpublished research, innovative
approaches and resource types, use cases or in-depth discussions. Short papers
may also represent project proposals or work in progress. Authors must
strictly follow ACM Proceedings template guidelines. Submissions not following
the format guidelines will be rejected without review.
Abstracts and papers must be submitted online through the EasyChair system
following the submission link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rumour2017.
To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the RUMOUR
2017 Program Committee. All reviews will be double blind, and hence authors
are instructed not to include their identity, affiliation(s) or contact
details, and to anonymize any references that would reveal the authorship of
the paper. Papers submitted to other conferences or journals must state this
fact. If a paper will appear in another conference or journal, it must be
withdrawn from RUMOUR.
At least one author of each paper must register using the JCDL registration
page to have the paper published in the RUMOUR-2017 Proceedings. All accepted
papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.
