Workshop description
In the past decade, social networks and social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, have become the default channels of communication and information. The popularity of these online portals has exposed a collection of integrity issues: cases where the content produced and exchanged compromises the quality, operation, and eventually the integrity of the platform. Examples include misinformation, low quality and abusive content and behaviors, and polarization and opinion extremism. There is an urgent need to detect and mitigate the effects of these integrity issues, in a timely, efficient, and unbiased manner.
This workshop aims to bring together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, to engage in a discussion about algorithmic and system aspects of integrity challenges. The WSDM Conference, that combines Data Mining and Machine Learning with research on Web and Information Retrieval offers the ideal forum for such a discussion, and we expect the workshop to be of interest to everyone in the community. The topic of the workshop is also interdisciplinary, as it overlaps with psychology, sociology, and economics, while also raising legal and ethical questions, so we expect it to attract a broader audience.
The workshop encourages submissions on the following topics:
- Low quality, borderline, and offensive content and behaviors: Methods for detecting and mitigating low quality and offensive content and behaviors, such as click bait, fake engagement, nudity and violence, bullying, and hate speech.
- Personalized treatment of low quality content: Identification, measurement and reduction of bad experiences.
- Misinformation: Detecting and combating misinformation; Deep and shallow fakes; Prevalence and virality of misinformation; Misinformation sources and origins; Source and content credibility.
- Integrity and Polarization: Models and metrics for polarization; Echo chambers and filter bubbles; Opinion Extremism and radicalization; Algorithms for mitigating polarization.
- Fairness in Integrity: Ensure fairness in the detection and mitigation of integrity issues with respect to sensitive attributes such as gender, race, sexual orientation, and political affiliation.
Submitted manuscripts must be 8 pages long for full papers, and 4 pages long for short papers. They must be written in English, and formatted using the standard two-column ACM Sigconf proceedings format.
Accepted papers will either be presented as contributed talks, or as posters.
