4th International Workshop on

Mining Actionable Insights from Social Networks

April 20, 2020 - Taipei, Taiwan

Online program

The MAISoN 2020 format will be a bit different this year. We ask everyone to watch the keynote talk and 7 contributed talks before April 20. You can find the videos for each talk below in this page. Then, at 12.00 UTC (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc) we will have an online meeting via Zoom, for which you can use this URL:

We expect all authors to be present, and estimate the meeting to last between 60 and 90 minutes in total.

The goal of the meeting, which replaces the on-site workshop, is to discuss the keynote talk and contributed talks in order, and have a Q&A from the audience, similar to what we would have at the on-site event.

In this way, we aim to give the speakers the option to get feedback on their work, and perhaps find new ideas or new collaborations, which is after all one of the general aims of the MAISoN workshop: bringing researchers together.

Do feel free to also invite colleagues or students to attend your talk!
