The Web Mining and Content Analysis track welcomes submissions of original and high-quality research papers related to the extraction of information from the Web, the analysis of the Web text and social media content, recommendation, and mining of the Web usage data. We especially encourage submissions that propose novel and principled techniques or algorithms that can leverage the special characteristics of the Web, its social media, and user behaviors for such extraction and mining. In addition to new techniques and algorithms, we also seek insights gained from the mining process.
