In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of a new platform of
collaborative communication on the World Wide Web: the Web 2.0. In the Web
2.0 paradigm, users are not purely receptors of information, but also
generate new content through the use of new communication and authoring
tools such as forums, blogs, wikis, etc. A large body of digital
information has become available in multiple languages making up what is the
largest communication and collaborative platform in history. Different
levels of formality and subjectivity of the language are used in this
scenario which allows to address topics such as:
- Clustering the blogosphere
- Blog summarization
- Subjectivity in texts
- Sentiment analysis
- Automatic humour recognition
- Folksonomies and social tagging
- Clustering and visualization of tag clouds
- Plagiarism detection of ideas
- Opinion analysis
- Sources of opinions and authorship attribution
- Product analysis and text-based market analysis
- Enterprise 2.0 search
