2nd CFP: SDM 2019 FEND Workshop, May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers Workshop on Data Mining for Fake News in Social Media: Propagation, Detection, and Mitigation (FEND'19), in conjunction with SDM'19 http://pike.psu.edu/fend19/ May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada Social media has become a popular means to consume news. However, the quality of news on social media is lower than traditional news organizations. Because it is cheap to provide news online and much faster and easier to disseminate through social media, large volumes of fake news, i.e., those news articles with intentionally false information, are produced online for a variety of purposes, such as financial and political gain. The extensive spread of fake news can have severe negative impacts on individuals and society. First, fake news can break the authenticity balance of the news ecosystem. For example, it is evident that the most popular fake news was even more widely spread on Facebook than the most popular authentic mainstream news during the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Second, fake news intentionally persuades consumers to accept biased or false beliefs for political or financial gain. For example, in 2013, $130 billion in stock value was wiped out in a matter of minutes following an Associated Press (AP) tweet about an explosion that injured Barack Obama. AP said its Twitter account was hacked. Third, fake news changes the way people interpret and respond to real news, impeding their abilities to differentiate what is true from what is not. Therefore, it's critical to understand how fake news propagate, developing data mining techniques for efficient and accurate fake news detection and intervene in the propagation of fake news to mitigate the negative effects. The objectives of this workshop are: - Bring together researchers from both academia and industry as well as practitioners to present their latest problems and ideas; - Attract social media providers who have access to interesting sources of fake news datasets and problems but lack the expertise in data mining to use data effectively; - Enhance interactions between data mining, text mining, social media mining, and sociology and psychology communities working on problems of fake news propagation, detection, and mitigation. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and social media providers for understanding fake news propagation, improving fake news detection in social media and mitigation. Topic areas for the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: - User behavior analysis and characterization for fake news detection - Text mining - mining news contents and user comments - Early fake news detection - Unsupervised fake news detection - Fact-checking - Tracing and characterizing the propagation of fake news and true news - Malicious account and bot detection, user credibility assessment - Visual analysis and exploration with images on the news - News event aggregation and detection - Building benchmark datasets for fake news detection in social media Paper Submission: Papers should be submitted as PDF, using the SIAM conference proceedings style, available at https://www.siam.org/Portals/0/Publications/Proceedings/soda2e_061418.zip?v…. Submissions should be limited to nine pages and submitted via CMT at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FEND2019. Important Dates: Submission deadline: February 1, 2019 Notification: March 15, 2019 SDM pre-registration deadline: April 2, 2019 Camera ready: April 15, 2019 Conference dates: May 2-4, 2019 Shall you have any questions, please email to szw494(a)psu.edu or kai.shu(a)asu.edu.

[CFP] GrAPL 2019 - co-located with IPDPS 2019
by Tumeo, Antonino 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] GrAPL 2019: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning http://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl Co-Located with IPDPS 2019 May 20, 2019 Hilton Rio De Janeiro Brazil ----------------------------- GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops: GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning ----------------------------- Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Much of the recent focus in Data Analytics has emphasized machine learning. This is understandable given the success of deep learning over the last decade. However, many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in Graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad which is a natural outgrowth of the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. The objectives of this workshop are as follows: * Understand data analytics workflows and the mix of graph and machine learning algorithms they require * Understand the synergies between evolving device technology and graph analytics applications to drive: 1) the direction of emerging hardware and software architecture, 2) new graph analytics algorithms that better exploit the emerging hardware; and 3) application workflows that mix the large graph synthesis and analytics and machine learning. * Explore different frameworks, languages and libraries to support programming graph analytics and machine learning algorithms * Evaluate the performance and scalability of integrated platforms for large graph synthesis and analysis, and machine learning While each of these topics on their own are well addressed in other workshops, we are particularly interested in the cross-cutting synergies. For example, hardware and software architectures specialized for machine learning (and in particular deep learning) may be poorly suited for graph algorithms. Can we understand these conflicting needs and perhaps find an architecture jointly optimized for both? This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. We are particularly interested in papers that: * Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; * Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; * Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; * Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both; * Provide tractability performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows. Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. ----------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------- Position or full paper submission: February 1, 2019 Notification: February 28, 2019 Camera-ready: March 15, 2019 Workshop: May 20, 2019 ----------------------------- Submissions ----------------------------- Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grapl2019 Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) pages, single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.
