About this Workshop

Intelligent algorithms for data mining and information retrieval are the key

technology to cope with the information need challenges in our

media-centered society. Methods for text-based information retrieval receive

special attention, which results from the important role of written text,

from the high availability of the World Wide Web, and from the enormous

impact of Web communities and social media on our life.

The development of advanced information retrieval solutions requires the

understanding and the combination of methods from different research areas,

including machine learning, data mining, computer linguistics, artificial

intelligence, user interaction and modeling, Web engineering, or distributed

systems. This workshop provides a common platform for presenting and

discussing new solutions, novel ideas, or specific tools focusing on

text-based information retrieval. The following list organizes classic and

ongoing topics for which contributions are welcome, but are not limited to:

- Theory. Retrieval models, language models, similarity measures, formal

analysis

- Web Search. Ranking, indexing, semantic search, query classification and

segmentation, relevance feedback, vertical search

- Personalization and User Mining. Just-in-time retrieval, personalized

retrieval, context detection, profile mining

- Multilinguality. Cross-language retrieval, machine translation, language

identification

- Evaluation. Corpus construction, experiment design, performance measures

- Text Mining and Classification. Web mining, text reuse, topic

identification, sentiment analysis

- NLP. Information extraction, text summarization and simplification, named

entity recognition, question answering

- Social Media Analysis. Community mining, social network analysis, trend

analysis, information diffusion

- Information Quality. Text quality assessment, quality-based ranking,

readability assessment, trust and author reputation

- Big Data Text Analytics. Parallel and distributed retrieval, online

algorithms, scalability

- Semantic Web. Meta data analysis and tagging, knowledge extraction,

inference, maintenance

The workshop is held for the eleventh time. In the past, it was

characterized by a stimulating atmosphere, and it attracted high quality

contributions from all over the world.

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of DEXA'14 Workshops

published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) of IEEE Computer

Society.
