About this Workshop:

Intelligent algorithms for mining and 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 Internet, and from the enormous importance of Web

communities.

Advanced information retrieval and extraction uses methods from different

areas: machine learning, computer linguistics and psychology, user

interaction and modeling, information visualization, Web engineering,

artificial intelligence, or distributed systems. The development of

intelligent retrieval tools requires the understanding and combination of

the achievements in these areas, and in this sense the workshop provides a

common platform for presenting and discussing new solutions.

The following list organizes classic and ongoing topics from the field of

text-based IR for which contributions are welcome:

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

analysis

- Mining and Classification. Category formation, clustering, entity

resolution, document classification, learning methods for ranking

- Web. Community mining, social network analysis, structured retrieval

from XML documents

- Information Quality. Quality assessment, information diffusion in

social media

- NLP. Text summarization, keyword extraction, topic identification

- User Interface. Paradigms and algorithms for information visualization,

personalization, privacy issue

- User Context. Context models for IR, context analysis from user

behavior and from social networks

- Multilinguality. Cross-language retrieval, multilingual retrieval,

machine translation for IR

- Evaluation. Corpus construction, experiment design, conception of user

studies

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

inference, and maintenance

- Software Engineering. Frameworks and architectures for retrieval

technology, distributed IR

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

by a stimulating atmosphere, and it attracted high quality contributions

from all over the world. In particular, we encourage participants to

present research prototypes and demonstration tools of their research ideas.

Important Dates:
