| 1. AIRWEB'08 TOPICS
| |
| | |
| Adversarial Information Retrieval addresses tasks such as gathering,
| |
| indexing, filtering, retrieving and ranking information from
| |
| collections
| |
| wherein a subset has been manipulated maliciously. On the Web, the
| |
| predominant form of such manipulation is "search engine spamming" or
| |
| spamdexing, i.e., malicious attempts to influence the outcome of
| |
| ranking
| |
| algorithms, aimed at getting an undeserved high ranking for some items
| |
| in the collection.
| |
| | |
| We solicit both full and short papers on any aspect of adversarial
| |
| information retrieval on the Web. Particular areas of interest
| |
| include,
| |
| but are not limited to:
| |
| | |
| * Link spam
| |
| * Content spam
| |
| * Cloaking
| |
| * Comment spam
| |
| * Spam-oriented blogging
| |
| * Click fraud detection
| |
| * Reverse engineering of ranking algorithms
| |
| * Web content filtering
| |
| * Advertisement blocking
| |
| * Stealth crawling
| |
| * Malicious tagging
| |
| | |
| Proceedings of the workshop will be included in the ACM Digital
| |
| Library.
| |
| Full papers are limited to 8 pages; work-in progress will be
| |
| permitted 4
| |
| pages.
| |
| | |
| For more information, see (http://airweb.cse.lehigh.edu/2008/)
| |
| | |
| 2. WEB SPAM CHALLENGE
| |
| | |
| Last year we introduced a novel element at the workshop: a Web Spam
| |
| Challenge for testing web spam detection systems. We will be holding
| |
| the Web Spam Challenge again this year, using the WEBSPAM-UK2007
| |
| collection for Web Spam Detection (http://www.yr-bcn.es/webspam),
| |
| which we anticipate being released in early January, 2008.
| |
| | |
| The collection includes large set of web pages, a web graph, and
| |
| human-provided labels for a set of hosts. We will also provide a set
| |
| of features extracted from the contents and links in the collection,
| |
| which may be used by the participant teams in addition to any
| |
| automatic technique they choose to use.
| |
| | |
| We ask that participants of the Web Spam Challenge submit predictions
| |
| (normal/spam) for all unlabeled hosts in the collection. Predictions
| |
| will be evaluated and results will be announced at the AIRWeb 2008
| |
| workshop.
