Call for Papers
Intelligent technologies for information mining and retrieval have become an important and exciting field of research in our information-flooded society. Methods of text-based information retrieval receive special attention, which results from the fundamental role of written text, but also because of the high availability of the Internet.
There are various techniques and methods being used for text-based information retrieval tasks, which stem from different research areas: machine learning, computer linguistics and psychology, user interaction and modeling, information visualization, or distributed systems. The development of powerful retrieval tools requires the combination of these developments, and in this sense the workshop shall provide a platform that spans different views and approaches.
The following list gives examples from classic and ongoing topics from the field of text-based information retrieval for which contributions are welcome (but not restricted to):
- formal models for text representation, document models, similarity measures for special retrieval tasks
- category formation and clustering, document classification
- distributed IR
- topic identification, auto-abstracting, keyword extraction, natural language processing for IR
- plagiarism analysis, author identification, style analysis
- IR for the Semantic Web: usage, construction, and maintenance of ontologies for retrieval tasks
- cross-language retrieval, multilingual retrieval, and machine translation for IR
- concepts and techniques for information visualization, user modeling, and interaction for particular retrieval tasks
- citation and link analysis, Web dynamics
- relevance feedback and personalization
- IR in business and engineering applications
- evaluation, building of test collections, experimental design and user studies
The workshop addresses researchers, users, and practitioners from different fields: data mining, machine learning, document and knowledge management, semantic technologies, and information retrieval in general. In particular, we encourage potential participants to present research prototypes and tools of their ideas.
Submission Guideline
Research papers submitted to TIR-06 must consist of original contributions. Submissions must generally be in electronic form using the Portable Document Format (PDF) or Postscript. It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that their papers use no unusual format features and are printable on a standard Postscript printer.
Styleguide and author information
Submissions must use the ECAI-06 style. A description of the style can be found here. For Latex users the necessary files can be downloaded here.
It is highly recommended to submit papers using the final camera-ready formatting style. Submissions must not exceed six pages in camera-ready format.
Papers must be written in English. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the contribution.
