OBJECTIVES

The Web and social media are growing both in size and complexity, as well as playing an increasing role in our lives. Finding relevant, timely and trustworthy content in a sea of seemingly irrelevant chatter remains a challenging research issue. On one hand, this workshop deals with the more blatant and malicious attempts that deteriorate web quality such as spam, plagiarism, or various forms of abuse and ways to prevent them or neutralize their impact on users' experience. On the other hand, it will also provide a venue for exchanging ideas on quantifying and modeling issues of content quality, credibility and author reputation.
The objective of the workshop is to provide the research communities working on web quality topics with a survey of current problems and potential solutions. It presents an opportunity for close interaction between researchers and practitioners who may be focused on isolated sub-areas. We also want to gather crucial feedback for the academic community from participants representing major industry players on how web content quality research can contribute to practice.
