La troisième édition d’AIRWeb 2007 [2](Adversarial Information Retrieval) vient de rendre disponibles les recherches scientifiques spécialisées en détection de spams d’engins de recherches. Le AIRWeb s’intéresse à des sujets tels que :
• Link spam: nepotistic linking, collusion, link farms, link exchanges and link bombing.
• Content spam: keyword stuffing, phrase stitching, and other techniques for generating synthetic text.
• Cloaking: sending different content to a search engine than to regular visitors of a web site, which is often used in combination with other spamming techniques.
• Comment spam in legitimate sites: in blogs, forums, wikis, etc.
• Spam-oriented blogging: splogs, spings, etc
• Click fraud detection: including forging clicks for profit, or to deplete a competitor’s advertising funds
• Reverse engineering of ranking algorithms
• Web content filtering: as used by governments, corporations or parents to restrict access to inappropriate content
• Advertisement blocking: developing software for blocking advertisements during browsing
• Stealth crawling: crawling the Web while avoiding detection
• Malicious tagging: for injecting keywords or for self-promotion in general
Les recherches qui ont été sélectionnées pour être présentées lors de l’événement sont maintenant disponibles gratuitement chez SearchengineLand [3].
