CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------- The 2014 KDD Workshop on Learning about Emergencies from Social Information (KDD-LESI 2014) http://sites.google.com/site/kddlesi2014/ to be held on August 24, 2014, New York City co-located with ACM SIGKDD 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: ** Submission Deadline: June 10, 2014 ** Notification of Acceptance: July 1, 2014
** Workshop date: August 24, 2014 Workshop Organizers: Yu-Ru Lin (yuru...@pitt.edu) James Bagrow (jbag...@uvm.edu) This workshop will bring together researchers interested in problems of information processing to meet the growing challenges in emergency situations. Our aim is to foster a research conversation among computer scientists, social scientists, and other interested participants to discuss issues and challenges relating to emergency understanding, including theoretical, methodological, ethical, and political questions regarding the study of large-scale social information data. We invite submissions on various research topics within the contexts of emergency study using social communication data, including but not limited to the following: * Extracting emergency events from big data * Measurement of relevance and user activities through emergency information retrieval in social media * Identifying misinformation during emergencies and crisis events * Evaluation framework for the emergency mining algorithms * New technologies (e.g., mobile applications) for mining and deploying emergency information * Fusion of social communication features, metadata, user generated content, and social context within the emergency situations. * Scalable or real-time architecture for large-scale emergency information processing, mining and visualization * Emergency social and information structure pattern discovery and predictive modeling. * Security and privacy management for emergency information processing. * Human computer interfaces for emergency data mining and crowdsourcing We provide different submission formats: full papers, short papers, and posters. We encourage submissions which present early stages of cutting-edge research and development. The format is the standard double-column ACM Proceedings Style. Submissions that do not comply with the above guidelines may be rejected without review. Additional information about formatting and style files are available online at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates * Full research papers (5 to 8 pages) * Short research papers (up to 5 pages) * Posters and software demo (up to 2 pages) All submissions must be entered into the reviewing system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kddlesi2014 Contact: kddles...@gmail.com
