TeMA 2021 will be held at the 20th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2021) taking place at Lisbon, Portugal, from 7th to 9th
September 2021. This track is organized under the auspices of the
Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). EPIA 2021 URL:

[1] *Track Description*

The 9th Track of Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2021) is a forum for
researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e. Natural Language
Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language
Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR), and
related areas.

              The most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through
textual documents. Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual
information is openly published every day, on many different topics and
written in natural language, thus offering new insights and many
opportunities for innovative applications of Human Language Technologies.

              Following recent advances in general IA sub-fields such as
NLP, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even
more valuable as tool for bridging the gap between language theories and
effective use of natural language contents, for harnessing the power of
semi-structured and unstructured data, and to enable important applications
in real-world heterogeneous environments. Both hidden and new knowledge can
be discovered by using text mining methods, at multiple levels and in
multiple dimensions, and often with high commercial value.

Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified
in section [2]. Revision of the papers will be double-blind by the members
of the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be published by Springer
in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI)
corresponding to the proceedings of the 20th EPIA Conference on Artificial
Intelligence, EPIA 2021.

Paper acceptance notification: May 31, 2021

Camera-ready deadline: June 15, 2021

                      EPIA Conference: September 7-9, 2021(Lisbon, Portugal)

[4] *Paper submission*

Submissions must be full technical papers on substantial, original, and
previously unpublished research. Papers can have a maximum length of 12
pages. All papers should be prepared according to the formatting
instructions of Springer LNAI series. Authors should omit their names from
the submitted papers, and should take reasonable care to avoid indirectly
disclosing their identity. References to own work may be included in the
paper, as long as referred to in the third person. All papers should be
submitted in PDF format through the conference management website at:
http://appia.pt/epia2021/

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of
their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their
papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on
behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright
form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the
files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the
papers cannot be made.
