Text Mining typically involves preprocessing of a document collection (such as through text categorization or term extraction), storage and indexing of the intermediate representations, analysis of the intermediate representations (such as via distribution analysis, document clustering, trend analysis, and association rule discovery), and visualization of the results. Sample topics appropriate for this workshop include the development of efficient algorithms for very large document collections, tools for visualizing such document collections, the use of intelligent agents to perform text mining on the internet, and the use information extraction to better capture the major themes of the documents. More generally, we solicit papers in all areas relevant to the problem of gaining insight into large collections of text, including, but not limited to, the following areas: Association Rule Discovery from Document Collections Document Representations Information Extraction for Text Mining Multi-lingual Text Mining Storage Issues Taxonomy Generation for Text Mining Term Extraction Text Categorization Text Mining Applications Text Mining on the Internet Trend Analysis Visualization Techniques Submission Deadline: April 15th 1999 More information -- see web site above (edited GPS)
