Workshop on Text Mining
May 6, 2002 Taipei,
Taiwan
Held in Conjunction with The 6th Pacific-Asia
Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
We have seen a tremendous growth in the volume of online text documents
available on the Internet, digital libraries, news sources, and
company-wide intranet. These documents (with other unstructured data)
will become the predominant data type stored online. The growing
importance of online documents has led to a great interest in tools and
approaches for dealing with unstructured or semi-structured information
stored in the text documents. Text mining is an exciting area of
research that provides such tools and approaches utilizing techniques from
data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, natural-language
understanding, statistics, database, and visualization. Text Mining also
serves as enabling technologies to the recent development in web intelligence
and as complementary technologies for the Semantic Web and OntoWeb
initiatives championed by the W3C consortium.
A one-day workshop on text mining is being held in
conjunction with PAKDD 2002 to bring together
researchers from many
disciplines and practices to present their current works and results in
text mining.
Topics include but are not limited to:
-
text categorization
-
document clustering
-
multi-lingual text mining
-
theme extraction
-
visualization
-
information extraction from text
-
use of domain knowledge in text mining
-
text summarization
-
trend analysis
-
taxonomy generation for text mining
-
document modeling/representation
To submit a paper for consideration, send 4 copies
of the manuscript to Dr. Eui-Hong (Sam) Han (see address below).
Electronic submissions (postscript or PDF versions printable on 8.5 x 11
paper only) are strongly encouraged. To guarantee consideration,
manuscripts must be received by January 31, 2002, and must be no more than
10 pages excluding figures, tables, and references. In the spirit of the
workshop, submission of work in progress is encouraged as
well.
Attendees are required to register either for the conference
(then the workshop is free) or for the workshop only
(the workshop-only registration fee is set to be
US$ 90). The workshop participants
will be entitled for coffee break, the luncheon and also the dinner that
