Signal or Noise? Credibility and Quality Issues on the Web and Social Media

I am glad to announce the third edition of the Web Quality workshop, to be held on May 13th, 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The workshop is co-located with the World Wide Web conference.

This year's theme is the question: Signal or Noise?. The Web and social media keep on growing and playing an ever increasing role in our lives. In this context, finding relevant, timely and trustworthy content in a sea of seemingly irrelevant chatter remains a challenging research issue.

The workshop will bring together practitioner and researchers working on key problem areas such as modelling trust and author reputation, detecting abuse and spam, finding high-quality content, uncovering plagiarism, among other topics.
