Special Session on Text Data Learning http://www.scss.tcd.ie/IDEAL2013-TDL/
Call for Papers The 14th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning (IDEAL'2013) Hefei, Anhui, China, October 20-23, 2013 http://nical.ustc.edu.cn/ideal13/ Overview Tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing and applying different machine learning technologies to natural language text data, greatly expanding the fields of information retrieval and natural language processing, creating new areas of research. However, many challenges remain, such as: how we can successfully process different natural language related tasks with machine learning: ranking documents, classifying text, clustering, summarizing, analyzing, extracting information, and so on? how we can circumvent the barrier of lacking enough annotated data, despite the vast quantities of unannotated data? how we can adapt machine learning solutions across domains, genres, and languages? how we can make full use of the characteristics of text data in building machine learning based solutions? how we can create text learning systems to process Big Data in distributed and parallel environments? This special session on text data learning will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in information retrieval and natural language processing to exchange and report their latest findings in applying machine learning to understanding and mining natural language text data. Topics of Interest We invite researchers and practitioners to submit their original and unpublished work on all aspects of computational approaches to text data learning and their applications, including, but not limited to: * Supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods applied to managing, analyzing, understanding, mining, and exploiting text data in both normal and "big" scale * Computational learning technologies adapted to processing text data across domain, genre, language, and scale * Intelligent text data preparation, annotation and analysis for effectively learning * Data representation for text learning and inference * Novel applications of text data learning in Internet, social, enterprise and mobile environments * Empirical and theoretical comparisons of text data learning methods including novel evaluation methods We especially welcome submissions on learning methods considering the special characteristics of text data, e.g. sequential, structural, and graphical. Submission Please follow the IDEAL 2013 instructions for authors (http://nical.ustc.edu.cn/ideal13/submission.html) to prepare and submit your papers via the IDEAL 2013 online submission system (https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ideal2013). Please specify that your paper is for the Special Session on Text Data Learning. All accepted papers will be included in the IDEAL 2013 Proceedings, which will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science Series, and indexed in EI and DBLP.
