*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********
Text Mining and Applications (TeMA’09) Track of EPIA09 TeMA-2009 will be held at the 14th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2009), in University of Aveiro, Portugal, 12-15 October 2009. This track is organized under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). EPIA 2007 URL: http://epia2009.appia.pt/ This announcement contains: [1] Track description; [2] Topics of interest; [3] Important dates; [4] Paper submission; [5] Track fees; [6] Organizing Committee; [7] Program Committee and [8] Contacts. [1] Track Description: Pure symbolic methods for Language Processing alone are unable to address human languages complexity. Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to text, raw or annotated, brought up new insights and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistical based, when duly integrated, bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of languages, and enable important applications. Our aim, with this track, is to bring together innovative contributions to fill in this gap. The track of Text Mining and Applications is a forum for researchers working in natural language processing (NLP), computational linguistics (CL), Machine Learning (ML) and related areas. Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality is sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA’09, those other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings book. [2] Topics of Interest Text Mining: - Language Models. - Multi-word Units. - Lexical Knowledge Acquisition. - Word and Multi-word Sense Disambiguation. - Semantic Restrictions Extraction. - Acquisition and Usage of Ontologies in Text Mining. - Pattern Extraction methodologies. - Topic Segmentation. - Word and Multi-word Translation Extraction. - Sentiment Analysis. - Text Entailment. - Document Clustering and Classification. - Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining. - Information Extraction. Applications: - Natural Language Processing. - Example-Based/Statistical Machine Translation. - Automatic Summarization. - Intelligent Information Retrieval. - Multilingual access to multilingual information. - Question-Answering Systems. - E-training and E-learning. [3] Important dates 15-April-09: Paper submission deadline 31-May-09: Notification of paper acceptance 15-July-09: Deadline for final versions 12-15 October-2009: Conference dates [4] Paper submission Submissions must be full technical papers on substantial, original, and previously unpublished research. Papers can have a maximum length of 12 pages. All papers should be prepared according to the formatting instructions of Springer LNAI series. Authors should omit their names from the submitted papers, and should take reasonable care to avoid indirectly disclosing their identity. All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the conference management website at: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/EPIA2009.
