After CIFT'02, organised in Hammamet in October 2002, CIFT'04, International
Conference on Text Mining, will be held in La Rochelle (France), from 22nd to
24th June 2004. This meeting will take place during the "digital document week"
(SDN'04, Semaine du Document Numérique; 21-25 June), which brings together
around 20 workshops and scientific conferences (e.g. ATALA and
ISKO-France). This scientific week is organised by RTP-Doc
(http://rtp-doc.enssib.fr)

This year's themes for the conference are therefore linked to production and
diffusion of electronic documents. Most conferences will focus on information
exploitation and intelligent access to contents, be they text, image, sound or
video. SDN aims at bringing together various communities who all have a
different approach to documents and textual contents, in order to allow
participants to benefit from this diversity. The CIFT conference which was in
2002 already associated to CIDE (Conférence Internationale sur le Document
Electronique) and CIFED (Colloque International Francophone sur l'Ecrit et le
Document) is therefore a natural key leader in this project.

CIFT stems from the common preoccupation of an emerging community of 
researchers
seeking the concerted use of techniques of Information Science, Artificial
Intelligence, Statistics, Linguistics, Terminology, Natural Language 
Processing,
Machine Learning, Knowledge Acquisition, Ontology Learning, Text Mining and
Semantic Web. They have already organised several conferences and workshops 
such
as AFIA, LREC, EGC and CoNLL.

Within the SDN, CIFT wants to be a forum for discussions around the
implementation of such methods on bases of textual or more generally
audio-visual documents.  Consequently, evaluators will especially appreciate
papers on detailed and large-scale experimentation involving Text Mining
solutions or the integration of text mining software in global document
engineering systems, or papers on the presentation of software solutions
(including help tools regarding learning validation, results browsing, etc).

Submitted papers may deal with theoretical, methodological or practical aspects
of Text Mining. The following list of topics is intended as suggestive rather
than comprehensive:

  * Text Mining Models and methods derived from:

  - Statistical data processing
  - Data Mining
  - Natural Language Processing
  - Knowledge Acquisition
  - Artificial Intelligence
  - Multilingual approach
  - Numeric or symbolic Machine Learning
  - Automatic Clustering
  - Patterns Recognition
  - XML World
  - Ontologies
  - etc.

  * Fields of (mono/multilingual) application :

  - Information retrieval
  - Information Extraction
  - Question/Answering systems
  - Categorisation, push, pull
  - Machine abstracts
  - Semantic Web
  - knowledge re-engineering
  - Information Synthesis
  - Writing Help
  - Decision Help
   - etc

	  Deadline for submission:          February 1st, 2004
	  Authors Notification:             March 15th, 2004
