United States
A conference on web information credibility analysis will take place from 4 to 7 January 2011 in Kauai, US.
The absence of publishing standards and review processes, the quality control of web content is often viewed as insufficient. For example, web pages may provide inaccurate or incomplete information, or their content can be obsolete or biased. As a result, there is a lot of mistaken or unreliable information on the intranet that can have a detrimental effect or negative influence.
However, technology may be able to help facilitate judging the trustworthiness of content and the quality and accuracy of the information that users encounter on the internet. Such technology should be able to handle a wide range of tasks: extracting credible information related to a given topic, organising this information, detecting its provenance, clarifying background, facts, and other related opinions and the distribution of them, and so on. The problem of information reliability and quality has become also apparent in the view of the recent emergence of many popular Web 2.0 applications.
Topics are set to include:
- information credibility evaluation and its applications,
- web content analysis for credibility evaluation,
- web content quality,
- author's intent detection,
- search models for trustworthy content on the web,
- conflicting opinion detection,
- news credibility,
- multimedia content credibility,
- credibility evaluation of user-generated content,
- sociological and psychological aspects of information credibility estimation,
- web spam detection,
- modeling trust on the web.For further information, please visit:
