| − | 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.
