THEME 

The objective of The 2nd MMIES Workshop: Multi-source, Multilingual 
Information Extraction and Summarization is to bring together 
researchers and practitioners in the areas of extraction, summarization, 
and other information access technologies, to discuss recent approaches 
to multi-source and multi-lingual challenges. Approaches to coping with 
the idiosyncratic nature of the new Web2.0 media are especially welcome, 
including: mixed input, new jargon, ungrammatical and mixed-language 
input, and emotional discourse.
