[交流] Call for Papers: Special Issue of Information Retrieval

Call for Papers, Special Issue of Information Retrieval, a Springer Journal

Information Retrieval for Social Media

http://media.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/ ... _SI_SocialMedia.htm

With the arrival of the web 2.0 era, people are increasingly well connected on the internet through some social network sites, blogs, wikis and mashups. Some popular web sites such as Facebook, Flicker, YouTube and Windows Live provide virtual platforms for all users to share their ideas, photos, videos and music, and all users are free to post comments and communicate with each other. This environment presents clear challenges to conventional information retrieval research, which is based mainly on individual activities.  Methods for retrieving information effectively and efficiently for social media have become an important research direction for modern information retrieval.

In addition to information retrieval, data analysis in social environments has aroused considerable interest from some closely related research fields such as data mining, sentiment analysis and machine learning. More and more novel research directions (e.g., social computing, user behavior modeling and collective intelligence) have emerged to play important roles in modern information analysis. We feel that it is the right time to review and consolidate recent progress in information retrieval for social media, as well as charting the future research challenges.

The main goal of this special issue is therefore to provide a forum for researchers in social information retrieval to review pressing needs, examine challenging research issues, and showcase the state-of-the-art research and development in the modern social environment.

The topics of interests of this special issue include, but not limited to, the followings:
