SIDEWAYS 2022 : 7th International Workshop on Social Media World Sensors

Nowadays Social media platforms represent freely-accessible information networks allowing registered and unregistered members to read, share and broadcast posts, different in format and size, referring to a potentially-unlimited range of topics, by also exploiting the immediateness of handy smart devices.

This workshop wants to stress the vision of these powerful communication channels as social sensors, where each user reacts in real time to the underlying reality by providing her/his own interpretation or opinion. Automatic techniques and methodologies applied on this channels may provide interesting insights on social media phenomena rather than useful applications, offering a "sideway" to the existing authoritative information media and the information reported by the surrounding community.
