Social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube continue to share user-generated content on a massive scale. Users attempting to find relevant information within such vast and dynamic volumes risk being overwhelmed. In response, efforts are being made to develop new tools and methods that help users make sense of and make use of social media sites. In this workshop we will bring together commercial and academic researchers to discuss these issues, and explore the challenges for social media mining.
