PRICAI'2000 Workshop on Text and Web Mining
28 August - 1 September, Melbourne, Australia
Workshop web site: http://textmining.krdl.org.sg/cfp.html
Paper due: 31 May 2000

Objectives

Text mining is an emerging and rapidly growing field focusing on the
analysis of very large document collections and the extraction of useful

knowledge from text. More than 80% of the information around us are
contained in textual format, which cannot be handled by the existing
knowledge discovery and data mining tools. With the popularity of World
Wide Web, the vastness of the on-line accessible information has opened
up a host of new opportunities. At the same time, it accelerates the need
for new tools and technologies for textual content management and
information mining.

Text and web mining is interdisciplinary in nature, cutting across such
fields as information retrieval, natural language processing, machine
learning, database, and visualization. This workshop aims to bring
together researchers and practitioners from a variety of background and
disciplines to share their works and findings. The workshop will promise to be a
great forum for people with common research interests to interact, to exchange
ideas, and to spawn future collaborations.
