Fourth Symposium on Statistical Challenges in Electronic Commerce Research
May 18 & 19, 2008

NYU's Center for Digital Economy Research is pleased to announce the fourth annual symposium on Statistical Challenges in eCommerce Research. The theme of this year's symposium is Social Networks and User-Generated Content. We envision the research presented in the symposium will discuss both the opportunities and statistical challenges relating to the statistical analysis of new forms of user-generated and networked data sets that are increasingly prevalent on account of Web 2.0 technologies.

The deadline for submitting a two-page abstract for presentation consideration was February 15th, 2008. The program will feature over 30 presentations. The authors of accepted papers have been notified via email. Our plenary speakers thus far are Duncan Watts from Yahoo! Research and Daryl Pregibon from Google.

A copy of the program is now available.
