WebKDD/SNAKDD 2007: web mining and social network analysis post-workshop report

ABSTRACT

In this report, we summarize the contents and outcomes of the recent joint WebKDD/SNAKDD 2007 workshop on Web Mining and Social Network Analysis that was held in conjunction with the 13th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD 2007), August 12-15, 2007, in San Jose, California. In 2007, WebKDD was organized for the ninth time in a successful series of workshops on knowledge discovery on the Web. The first SNA-KDD workshop is created to bring together researchers who currently contribute to different aspects of social network analysis, including knowledge discovery and data mining in social network, social network modeling, multi-agent based social network simulation, complex generic network analysis. The joint 9th WEBKDD and 1st SNA-KDD workshop was co-held with KDD 2007 and solicited papers on broad overview subject "Web Mining and Social Network Analysis". We reflect on the results of the workshop, as captured in the invited talk and presentations.
