Following a successful first edition, we are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the Large Scale Hierarchical Text Classification (LSHTC) Pascal Challenge. The LSHTC Challenge is a hierarchical text classification competition, using large datasets. This year’s challenge will increase the scale and the difficulty of the task, using data from Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), in addition to the ODP Web directory data (www.dmoz.org).
The 1st International Workshop on Mining Social Media will be held will be held in Sevilla, Spain, in November 10-12th; under the frame of the 13th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAEPIA-TTIA 2009).
The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas between different research communities to enable the design of tools for creation, analysis and visualization of complex information networks. The workshop focuses especially on researchers that are working on methods for representation of complex knowledge resources, (dynamic) data analysis methods, semantic networks, and visualization methods as well as user interface design.
