  http://www-vpu.eps.uam.es/cbmi2011/specialsessions.html#smrf
****************************************************************************** 

Nowadays, an ever increasing amount of multimedia content is available 
on content sharing websites such as Flickr, Youtube or Facebook. This 
content consists of text and multimedia data, enriched with additional 
metadata (annotations, comments, tags, etc.). In addition, semantic 
relationships between content and content sharers can be inferred by 
considering the structure of the social content sharing websites. 
However, this social factor has hardly been studied in the information 
retrieval and recommendation domain. This special session aims at 
state-of-the-art research approaches that address the underlying social 
structure for retrieval and filtering of multimedia content.

Scope and Topics
----------------
We are interested in works in multimedia retrieval and filtering on the 
Social Web, including, but not limited to the following research topics:

  * Analysis, indexing, search and retrieval of social media content
  * Scalable indexing and structure of social media content
  * Semantic-based retrieval and filtering of social media content
  * Learning, personalization, content adaptation, and relevance fedback 
in social media systems
  * Personal multimedia content management in social media systems
  * Social and content-based multimedia recommendation
  * Summarization, organization, browsing, and exploration of social 
media content
  * User interfaces for management, presentation and visualization of 
social media content
  * Social media data indexing, search and retrieval in mobile environments
  * Context-awarenes in social media systems

Paper submission
----------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers of not more than
six (6) pages including results, figures and references. Papers will be
accepted only by electronic submission through the Easychair site. Style
files (Latex and Word) will be provided for the convenience of the authors.

Important dates
---------------
  * Submission of full paper (to be received by): January 21, 2011

CFP: Diversity in Document Retrieval workshop at ECIR 2011

** CFP for ECIR workshop on diversity, papers due 20th February **

Call for Papers:  Diversity in Document Retrieval workshop at ECIR 2011 
(DDR 2011)

http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/workshops/ddr2011/

Important Dates
          * 20th February, 2011: Papers due
          * 20th March, 2011: Notification of Acceptance
          * 4th April, 2011: Camera-Ready papers due
          * 18th April, 2011: DDR-2011 Workshop, Dublin, Ireland

Topic

When an ambiguous query is received, a sensible approach is for the 
information retrieval (IR) system to diversify the results retrieved for 
this query, in the hope that at least one of the interpretations of the 
query intent will satisfy the user. Diversity is an increasingly 
important topic, of interest to both academic researchers (such as 
participants in the TREC Web and Blog track diversity tasks), as well as 
to search engines professionals. In this workshop, we solicit 
submissions both on approaches and models for diversity, the evaluation 
of diverse search results, and on applications and presentation of 
diverse search results.

Themes

As diversity is, in general, am emerging topic, these is no consensus on 
various aspects of the topic. The primary aim of this workshop is to 
foster an interactive, in-depth environment with papers and attendees 
representing and discussing one of four workshop themes:

       * Modelling - e.g. "What are the key components of
diversification models?"
       * Evaluation - e.g. "How can a better evaluation experiment for 
diversification be structured?"
       * Applications - e.g. "What are the key applications for 
diversity in commercial search?"
       * Presentation - e.g. "How should diverse results be presented?"

Technical original research papers (8 pages LNCS) and position papers (5 
pages LNCS) on each of these four topics are invited for submission on 
or before 20th February 2011.

Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
Modelling:
          * Implicit diversification approaches
          * Explicit diversification approaches
          * Query log mining for diversity
          * Learning-to-rank for diversification
          * Clustering of results for diversification
          * Query intent understanding
          * Query type classification
Evaluation:
          * Test collections for diversity
          * Evaluating of diverse search results
          * Measuring the ambiguity of queries
          * Measuring query aspects importance
Applications:
          * Product & review diversification
          * Opinion and sentiment diversification
          * Summarisation
          * Legal precedents & patents
          * Diverse recommender systems
          * Diversifying in real-time & news search
          * Diversification in other verticals (image/video search etc.)
Presentation:
          * Presentation of diverse search results
          * Clustering of diverse search results
          * User studies on interfaces for diversity
          * Explorative or faceted interfaces for diversity
          * Diversity within aggregated/universal search

Submission Instructions

Submissions should report new (unpublished) research results, or ongoing 
research. Both technical paper submissions (upto 8 pages including 
references) and position papers (upto 5 pages including references) will 
be orally presented. All paper submissions must be written in English 
following the LNCS author guidelines. Submissions should not be anonymised.

WWW2011 - USEWOD2011 2nd CFP: 1st International Workshop on Usage Analysis and the Web of Data

=============== Second Call for Papers ===============
	
	Workshop on: USAGE ANALYSIS AND THE WEB OF DATA (USEWOD2011)
	& USEWOD DATA CHALLENGE

	Workshop at WWW 2011 – Hyderabad, India, 28 or 29 March 2011
	http://data.semanticweb.org/usewod/2011/

Important dates
===============
	* Release of Dataset for the USEWOD Challenge: 21 December 2011
	* Paper submission deadline: 8 February 2011
	* Workshop and Prize for USEWOD Challenge: 28 or 29 March 2011

Submission
=========
	* Long papers: up to 8 pages
	* Short papers: up to 4 pages
	* Data Challenge papers (see below): up to 4 pages
	all in ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)

Overview
========
This workshop will investigate the synergy between semantics and
semantic-web technology on the one hand and analysis and mining of
usage data on the other hand. The two fields are a promising
combination. First, semantics can be used to enhance the analysis of
usage data. Usage logs contain information that can help to better
understand users or to adapt a system to a user’s needs and
preferences. Now that more and more explicit knowledge is represented
on the Web, in the form of ontologies, folksonomies, or linked data,
the question arises how these semantics can be used to aid large scale
web usage analysis and mining. Second, usage data analysis can enhance
semantic resources as well as Semantic Web applications. Traces of
users can be used to evaluate, adapt or personalize Semantic Web
applications. Since logs record real-life users, they provide an
opportunity to create gold standards for search or recommendation
tools. In addition, logs can form valuable resources from which
knowledge (e.g. in the form of ontologies or thesauri) can be
extracted bottom-up.

Also, the emerging Web of Data demands a re-evaluation of existing
usage mining techniques; new ways of accessing information enabled by
the Web of Data imply the need to develop or adapt algorithms,
methods, and techniques to analyze and interpret the usage of Web data
instead of Web pages. An important question at this time is how the
Web of Data is being used: how are datasets being accessed by human
users and how by machines, what kinds of queries are being performed,
and what can we learn about the usage of semantic applications?

The primary goals of this workshop are to foment a new community of
researchers from various fields sharing an interest in usage mining
and semantics and to create a roadmap for future research in this
direction.

Data Challenge
==============
In addition to regular papers, we will release a dataset of usage data
(server log files) from two Linked Open Data sources: Semantic Web Dog
Food (data.semanticweb.org) and DBpedia (dbpedia.org). Participants
are invited to present interesting analyses, applications, alignments,
etc. for these datasets, and to submit their findings as a Data
Challenge paper. The best Data Challenge paper will get a prize.

Topics of interest
==================
include, but are not limited to:
• Analysis and mining of usage logs of semantic resources and applications
• Inferring semantic information from usage logs
• Methods and tools for semantic analysis of usage logs
• Representing and enriching usage logs with semantic information
• Usage-based evaluation methods and frameworks; gold standards for
evaluation of semantic web applications
• Specifics and semantics of logs for content-consumption and content-creation
• Using semantics for recommendation, personalization and adaptation
• Usage-based recommendation, personalization and adaptation of
semantic web applications
• Exploiting usage logs for semantic search
• Data sharing, privacy, and privacy-protecting policies and techniques

towards standardized evaluation approaches for the personal search space.
Due to the large space that this covers, as a first step towards overall
standardized personal search evaluation this workshop will focus on
evaluation for the textual elements within personal desktop collections
and known item keyword queries for these elements.  An interactive forum
for researchers to share ideas and initiate collaborations will be
provided, with the explicit goal of establishing a means to evaluate
personal search algorithms and solutions in a comparable and repeatable
way. It is also intended to form a consortium of people at the workshop
interested in bringing this evaluation solution to fruition in the
subsequent months.
