TeMA 2011 will be held at the 15th Portuguese Conference on Artificial

Intelligence (EPIA 2011), in Lisbon, Portugal, 10-13 October 2011. This

Track is organized under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for

Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

[1] Track Description

Human languages are complex by nature and efforts in pure symbolic

approaches alone have been unable to provide fully satisfying results.

Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to texts, raw or

annotated, brought up new insights and completely shifted the approaches

to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and

statistically based, when duly integrated, have shown capabilities to

bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of languages,

and can enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous

environment such as the Web.

The 4th Track on Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2011) is a forum for

researchers working in Human Language Technologies i.e. Natural Language

Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language

Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM) 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 LNCS series. If

there are additional papers whose quality is sufficiently high for

deserving to be presented at TeMA 2011, those other accepted papers will

be published in a conference proceedings book. Papers should not exceed

fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the

information for LNCS authors.
