Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence<\/i><\/h2>\n

ICWSM is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers and industry leaders interested in creating and analyzing social media. Past conferences have included technical papers from areas such as computer science, linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia, and semantic web technologies. The Third International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media was held on May 17\u201320, 2009, in San Jose, California, USA.<\/p>\n

The social and community-driven aspects of our digital lives continue to increase rapidly, resulting in transformative behaviours and, significantly, publishing and distributing huge amounts of fascinating data. The International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media met once more in 2009 to discuss the latest research analyzing and leveraging this resource. As with previous meetings, we brought together a wide range of researchers and industry practitioners from many disciplines providing a unique opportunity for sharing ideas and collaboration in this space.<\/p>\n

Disciplines that are relevant to our meeting include computer science, linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia, and semantic web technologies. The following were key areas of interest:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Psychological, personality-based, and ethnographic studies of social media<\/li>\n
  2. Analyzing the relationship between social media and mainstream media<\/li>\n
  3. Centrality\/influence of social media publications and authors both within genres and between genres of data<\/li>\n
  4. Ranking\/relevance of blogs; web page ranking based on blogs<\/li>\n
  5. Data acquisition: crawling\/spidering and indexing<\/li>\n
  6. Human computer interaction; social media tools; navigation and visualization<\/li>\n
  7. Multimedia: tools and techniques for distribution, sharing, and analysis of social activity with\/around multimedia.<\/li>\n
  8. Semantic analysis; cross-system and cross-media name tracking; named relations and fact extraction; discourse analysis; summarization<\/li>\n
  9. Semantic web; unstructured knowledge management; collaborative creation of structured knowledge<\/li>\n
  10. Subjectivity in textual data; sentiment analysis; polarity\/opinion identification and extraction<\/li>\n
  11. Social network analysis; communities identification; expertise and authority discovery; collaborative filtering<\/li>\n
  12. Text categorization; topic recognition; demographic\/gender\/age identification<\/li>\n
  13. Trend identification and tracking; time series forecasting; measuring predictability of phenomena based on social media<\/li>\n
  14. New social media applications, interfaces, and interaction techniques<\/li>\n
  15. Trust; reputation; recommendation systems<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Data Challenge<\/h3>\n

    ICWSM-09 is planning to release a large blog dataset in conjunction with the conference. This data will include the full content and markup of the blog post as well as extracted text. The conference invites researchers to explore the dataset and submit their findings as technical papers. Information on obtaining the dataset is available<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Keynote Speakers And Tutorial Speakers<\/h3>\n

    The keynote speaker for ICWSM-09 was Jon Kleinberg (Cornell University, USA). Lillian Lee (Cornell University, USA) and Duncan Watts (Columbia University and Yahoo! Research), along with other renowned experts to be announced at a later date, will present invited talks.<\/p>\n
