Online user-generated information mining, especially from social media platforms and search engines, has been in the forefront of many research efforts, especially in the fields of Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing. The incorporation of such data and techniques in a number of health-oriented applications has provided strong evidence about the potential benefits, which include better population coverage, timeliness and the operational ability in places with less established health infrastructure. The workshop aims to create a platform where relevant state-of-the-art research is presented, but at the same time discussions among researchers with cross-disciplinary backgrounds can take place. It will focus on the characterisation of data sources, the essential methods for mining this textual information, as well as potential real-world applications and the arising ethical issues. MOHRS '17 will feature 3 keynote talks and 4 accepted paper presentations, together with a panel discussion session. date: 2017-02-02 date_type: published publisher: ACM official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/3018661.3022761 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1285840 doi: 10.1145/3018661.3022761 isbn_13: 9781450346757 lyricists_name: Cox, Ingemar lyricists_name: Lampos, Vasileios lyricists_id: IJCOX77 lyricists_id: VLAMP72 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining publication: WSDM 2017 - Proceedings of the 10th ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining volume: 10 place_of_pub: New York, USA pagerange: 825-826 event_title: WSDM '17, Tenth ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining, 6-10 February 2017, Cambridge, UK book_title: WSDM '17: Proceedings of the Tenth ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining editors_name: de Rijke, M editors_name: Shokouhi, M editors_name: Tomkins, A editors_name: Zhang, M citation: Collier, N; Limsopatham, N; Culotta, A; Conway, M; Cox, IJ; Lampos, V; (2017) WSDM 2017 workshop on mining online health reports WSDM workshop summary.
