Topics of interest

The objective of this workshop is to enable presentation and exchange of ideas on various aspects of Text Mining. Our desire is to facilitate communication among researchers and practitioners from related and complementary research areas, who are working on similar problems but with possibly different focus and problem solving approaches. More precisely, we invite papers from the four areas:

Particular topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to:

Workshop schedule

The workshop consists of two invited talks, presentation of refereed papers and posters, and discussions. We hope that the program will stimulate future collaboration among researchers on text mining problems.
