Call For Papers - CFP

General Topics

The proliferation of digital computing devices and their use in communication has resulted in an increased demand for systems and algorithms capable of mining textual data. Thus, the development of techniques for mining unstructured, semi-structured, and fully structured textual data has become quite important in both academia and industry. As a result, this Workshop tracks new developments in the field of Text Mining - the application of techniques of machine learning in conjunction with natural language processing, information extraction and algebraic/mathematical approaches to computational information retrieval. Issues addressed range from the development of new learning approaches to the parallelization of existing algorithms. The goal of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers to share initial approaches and preliminary results of recent research in Text Mining. Through the careful selection and review of submitted workshop papers, we hope to provide a suitable selection of topics that will both generate interest and provide insight into the state of the field of Text Mining.

Special Topics - Text Mining with the Enron Data Set and VAST 2008/2009/2010 Contest Data

Because of the continued interest generated from the availability of the Enron data set of 1.3 million email messages (see Enron Email Dataset) and its versatility in terms of potential research topics (link analysis, pattern matching), researchers are encouraged to submit papers to this workshop. In addition, the text-based datasets of news events and scenario definition used in the IEEE Symposium on Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) 2008 and 2009 Contests is an interesting corpus for research in topic detection/tracking, role playing, and scenario analysis (see VAST 2008 , VAST 2009 , and VAST 2010, contests for more details on those datasets).

Other Specific Topics of Interest Include:

Algorithms and Models

Bayesian Models

Concept Decomposition

Orthogonal Decomposition

Probabilistic Models

Vector Space Models

Latent Semantic Indexing

Graph-based Models

Text Streaming Models

Applications

Clustering

Factor Analysis

Visualization Techniques

Metadata Generation

Information Extraction

Text Classification

Text Purification

Text Segmentation

Text Summarization

Query Structures

Trend Detection

Distributed Storage and Retrieval

Registration

Attendees are required to register for SDM 2011 so that no separate registration is needed for this workshop.

A one-day registration for the conference is available. Workshop attendees do not have to register at the complete conference rate.

Submission Requirements

To submit a paper, upload your paper in PDF format (Papers should be printable on 8.5 × 11 paper only and be roughly 10 pages in length

using a 11pt font in two-column font with 1 inch margins). Click here to access the MyReview system for uploading abstracts and manuscripts.

Note: You must create a MyReview account for uploading your files.

In the Authors section you will find the instructions:

1. Use the abstract submission interface to provide the main information

on your paper. You will be given an id/password which must later be used

to access the system during the following steps, so save the login information message that you will receive from the system.

2. Once an abstract has been submitted, you can upload your paper.

To guarantee consideration, manuscripts must be received by January 14, 2011. Submission of work in progress is also encouraged.

Important Dates
