2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Workshop on Modeling Social Media (MSM'2012) *Collective Intelligence in Social Media* http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ws/msm2012/
June 25, 2012, Milwaukee, USA co-located with ACM Hypertext 2012
*** Submission Deadline: March 31, 2012 *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our first workshop on Modeling Social Media (MSM 2010 in Toronto, Canada), we explored various different models of social media ranging from user modeling, hypertext models, software engineering models, sociological models and framework models. In our second workshop (MSM 2011 in Boston, USA), we addressed the user interface aspects of modeling social media. In this workshop, we will look at collective intelligence in social media, that is, looking at how we can make sense of the content and context from social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Foursquare by analyzing tweets, tags, blog posts, likes, posts and checkins, in order to create new knowledge and semantic meaning.
GOALS AND AUDIENCE ================== The workshop aims to attract and discuss various aspects of collective intelligence in social media which involve frameworks for collecting appropriate data and collecting enough amount of data, mining the data from different social media and context (e.g., from mobile phones), creating models for inferring collective intelligence, and evaluating the framework to determine the accuracy of the gathered collective intelligence. We want to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds interested in 1) exploring different perspectives and approaches to modeling complex social media phenomena and systems through collective intelligence, 2) the different purposes and applications that can be created from collective intelligence of social media, and 3) issues of integrating and validating collective intelligence of social media.
TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics may include, but are not limited to: * new modeling techniques and frameworks for representing collective intelligence in social media * mining techniques for social media to extract collective intelligence * algorithms for inferring semantics, meaning and creating collective intelligence from social media * applications for collecting and displaying collective knowledge from social media * applications for using collective intelligence including recommendations * privacy and security issues in creating collective intelligence from social media * creating business intelligence from social media * (Dynamic) social media monitoring for collective intelligence * how social networks can be used to mine and create collective intelligence * individual and group behavior in social media and social networks * social networks for the collaboration of large communities * evaluating the collective intelligence to determine the accuracy and relevance to users
