data mining methods build patterns or models. When presenting these, all or part of the result needs to be explained to the user in order to be understandable and for increasing the user acceptance of the patterns. In doing that, a variety of dimensions in the Mining and Analysis Continuum of Explaining (MACE) needs to be considered, e.g., from concrete to more abstract explanations. This paper discusses the application of the MACE in the context of social software. We consider applications of the proposed approaches in three social software systems, and show how the data mining results can seamlessly be analysed on the presented continuous dimensions and levels.

This book constitutes the joint thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Modeling Social Media, MSM 2011, held in Boston, MA, USA, in October 2011, and the Second International Workshop on Mining Ubiquitous and Social Environments, MUSE 2011, held in Athens, Greece, in September 2011. The 9 full papers included in the book are revised and significantly extended versions of papers submitted to the workshops. They cover a wide range of topics organized in three main themes: communities and networks in ubiquitous social media; mining approaches; and issues of user modeling, privacy and security.

Policy-based management systems use declarative rules to govern their operation whilst satisfying the goals of the system. One of the fundamental issues in policy engineering remains the inability to automatically refine high-level goals to low level achievable goals, many of which will be interdependent and conflicting. This paper introduces the automated decomposition and refinement of management policies through the optimisation of balancing constraints by the innovative integration metaheuristic algorithms.

Social bookmarking systems and their emergent information structures, known as folksonomies, are increasingly important data sources for Semantic Web applications. A key question for harvesting semantics from these systems is how to extend and adapt traditional notions of similarity to folksonomies, and which measures are best suited for applications such as navigation support, semantic search, and ontology learning. Here we build an evaluation framework to compare various general folksonomy-based similarity measures derived from established information-theoretic, statistical, and practical measures. Our framework deals generally and symmetrically with users, tags, and resources. For evaluation purposes we focuson similarity among tags and resources, considering different ways to aggregate annotations across users. After comparing how tag similarity measures predict user-created tag relations, we provide an external grounding by user-validated semantic proxies based on WordNet and the Open Directory. We also investigate the issue of scalability. We find that mutual information with distributional micro-aggregation across users yields the highest accuracy, but is not scalable;per-user projection with collaborative aggregation provides the best scalable approach via incremental computations. The results are consistent across resource and tag similarity. Copyright is held by the International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2).
Research on context aware systems is handicapped by the lack of readily available large scale data sets, as well as by the lack of tools by which researchers can interact effectively with such data sets across a range...

Currently the user's web search is disjoint from the resources which is subsequently browsed. Specifically the related instances of the search are not displayed on the following pages. This lack of continuity between the actual search and the web sites displayed may lead to skimming by the user to identify what is relevant on the pages. This paper presents an approach to the continuous modeling of a user's interests through a browser based plug-in that may be used to inform the intelligent highlighting of content on the browsed pages. Specifically the paper presents two related systems, one for capturing and modeling the user's browsing behavior and the second for leveraging the power of linked data to highlight information relevant to the user's interests. The design, implementation and evaluation of both systems are presented as well as a conclusion and outlook for further work.

Some popular algorithms used in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) such as Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) require the objects they process to be represented as vectors, i.e. elements of a vector space. This is a rather severe restriction and if the data does not adhere to it, some means of vectorization is required. As a common practice, the full distance matrix is computed and each row of the matrix interpreted as an artificial feature vector. This paper empirically investigates the impact of this transformation. Further, an alternative approach for vectorization based on Multidimensional Scaling is pro posed that is able to better preserve the actual distance relations of the objects which is essential for obtaining a good retrieval performance.
