Submissions are invited to the 4th KDD Workshop on Issues of Sentiment Discovery
and Opinion Mining (WISDOM) to be held at KDD'15 this August in Sydney. For more

RATIONALE
WISDOM aims to explore how the wisdom of the crowds is affecting (and will
affect) the evolution of the Web and of businesses gravitating around it. In
particular, the workshop series explores two different stages of sentiment
analysis: the former focusing on the identification of opinionated text over the
Web, the latter focusing on the classification of such text either in terms of
polarity detection or emotion recognition.

TOPICS
WISDOM aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of
machine learning for opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information
on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their
applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader
context of the workshop comprehends opinion mining, social media marketing,
information retrieval, and natural language processing. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:
• Endogenous NLP for sentiment analysis
• Sentiment learning algorithms
• Semantic multi-dimensional scaling for sentiment analysis
• Big social data analysis
• Opinion retrieval, extraction, classification, tracking and summarization
