SWEEM 2018: 3rd International Workshop on the Social Web for Environmental and Ecological Monitoring
(http://www.sweem.polimi.it)

------------------------------------------------
Held in conjunction with the 12th International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM-18)
(http://www.icwsm.org)

------------------------------------------------
June 25, 2018 - Stanford, CA, USA


The exponential growth of the popularity of social media has provided not only novel techniques for public communication and engagement, but has also generated unprecedented volumes of publicly-available, user-generated social media content. These trends open new opportunities for ecological and environmental applications, both in terms of alternative data sources and novel approaches for interacting with the public.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together a combination of academic and industrial participants to discuss ideas, challenges, and solutions at the intersection of Social Media and Environmental/Ecological Science.

* Social Media Data Mining for Environmental and Ecological Monitoring (EEM)
