AI4BigData'20 - Artificial Intelligence for Big Social Data Analysis

http://www.ir.disco.unimib.it/ai4bigdata20/

Special Track @ FLAIRS-33

The 33nd International FLAIRS Conference: https://www.flairs-33.info/

North Miami Beach, Florida, USA - May 17-20, 2020

In cooperation with:

Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence: http://aaai.org/

***********************************************************************************

As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In an era of social
connectedness, people are becoming increasingly enthusiastic about interacting,
sharing contents, and collaborating through social networks, online communities,
blogs, Wikis, and other online collaborative media.

In recent years, this collective intelligence has spread to many different areas,
with a particular focus on fields related to everyday life such as commerce, tourism,
education, and health, causing the size of the Social Web to expand exponentially.

The main aim of the AI4BigData’20 Special Track is to explore the new frontiers of
big data computing for social computing, opinion mining, sentiment analysis, and
credibility assessment of online information through machine learning techniques,
knowledge-based systems, adaptive and transfer learning, in order to more efficiently
retrieve and extract social information from the Social Web.
