As tagging systems are gaining in popularity, they become more susceptible to <i>tag spam:</i> misleading tags that are generated in order to increase the visibility of some resources or simply to confuse users. We introduce a framework for modeling tagging systems and user tagging behavior. We also describe a method for ranking documents matching a tag based on taggers' reliability. Using our framework, we study the behavior of existing approaches under malicious attacks and the impact of a moderator and our ranking method. %@ 978-1-59593-732-2
