ISMIS 2014 Special Session

Challenges in Text Mining and Semantic Information Retrieval

In conjunction with the International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2014) http://isl.ruc.dk/ismis2014/

June 25 to June 27, 2014
Denmark, Roskilde

Submission Deadline: February 17, 2014

Scope and Objectives

The amount of data available through the Internet is growing rapidly irrespective of a discipline. In recent decades, finding interesting and relevant information in reasonable time becomes easier thanks to the development of universal search systems such as Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. Even though those systems proved their usefulness, getting relevant results needs human intervention and often also query rewriting because of progressing Information Overload. This session is devoted to challenges of efficient information and knowledge retrieval in heterogeneous, multilingual world of Internet by means of text mining, natural language processing and artificial intelligence.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• new topics on theoretical foundations of data mining, text mining, and knowledge discovery
• incorporating AI methods into information retrieval process
• scientific information discovery
• multilingual natural language processing
• knowledge acquisition from web
• multilingual text understanding
• knowledge management

Chair of the session
Henryk Rybinski - Warsaw University of Technology

Co-chairs
