====================================
1st International Workshop on Knowledge Extraction and Consolidation
from Social Media (KECSM2012)
- http://blogs.ecs.soton.ac.uk/knowledgeextraction/ -
In conjunction with the 11th International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC2012), Boston, 12 November 2012
OVERVIEW
========
The main focus of KECSM is on innovative approaches to knowledge
extraction and consolidation from unstructured social media, in
particular from degraded user-generated content (text, images, video)
such as tweets, blog posts, forums and user-generated visual media.
KECSM will provide an interactive forum to present novel works from the
fields of (a) data analysis and knowledge extraction, and (b) data
enrichment, interlinking and consolidation. It will equally consider the
application perspective, such as the innovative use of extracted
knowledge to navigate, explore or visualise previously unstructured and
disparate Web content.
