VOLUNTEERS - WEB SPAM CLASSIFICATION

We are currently building the second version of a reference collection
for testing Web Spam detection algorithms. This continues the project
started last year with WEBSPAM-UK2006 collection which was used for the
first web spam challenge and is available at http://www.yr-bcn.es/webspam/

This collection will be freely available once it is completed. As in
the previous collection, we want the labels to be provided by
independent, volunteer assessors.

We are searching for volunteers to help in this project, by
participating in the collaborative labeling of a newer, larger
dataset. We will provide a web-based labeling interface. The labeling
will take place during October and will require an effort of ~400
hosts labeled for each volunteer.

If you, or a colleague or student, can help us in this task, please

Thank you very much,

Debora Donato
