There’s been a lot of talk about splogs lately (e.g., here, there and everywhere). There was even a note in the Washington Post’s Computer Security blog today. We recently finished a paper on using SVMs to recognize splogs

Pranam Kolari, Tim Finin, and Anupam Joshi, SVMs for the Blogosphere: Blog Identification and Splog Detection, TR-CS-05-13, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, 8 October 2005.

The paper compares results using different feature sets for the task of splog recognition as well as some other simple tasks. We’ve submitted this to the AAAI Spring Symposium on Computational Approaches to Analyzing Weblogs.
