CyberSafety 2018 - The Third Workshop on Computational Methods in CyberSafety, Online Harassment and Misinformation
Topics/Call fo Papers
The theme of cybersafety is an important emerging research topic on the Internet that manifests itself daily as users navigate the Web and networked applications. After two successful workshops on cybersafety, the main goal of this third edition of this workshop on cybersafety is to build and grow the cybersafety research community by bringing together the leading researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, government and research labs working in the general area of cybersafety to discuss the unique challenges in addressing various cybersafety issues and to share experiences, solutions, tools, and techniques. The focus is on the detection, prevention and mitigation of various cybersafety issues, as well as education and promoting safe practices.

The focus of this workshop is on computational methods in cybersafety, including new algorithms, tools, data mining techniques and analysis, systems and applications for the detection, prevention and mitigation of various cybersafety issues, as well as education and promoting safe practices. Social and psychological issues related to cybersafety, while important, are beyond the scope of this workshop and are better addressed in other venues. The workshop will be comprised of keynote speeches, panel discussions, paper presentations and breakout sessions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Cyberbullying in social media
Misinformation and fake news in social media
Online harassments, cyberthreats, coercion, and undue social pressure
Misbehaving users in online video chat services
Trolls in chat rooms, discussion boards and other social media
Deception to shape opinion, such as spinning
Deceptive techniques targeted at vulnerable populations such as the elderly and K-12 minors
Bad actors in social media
Online exposure of inappropriate material to minors
Education and promoting safe practices
Remedies for preventing or thwarting cybersafety issues
Hate speech and rumors in WWW services
