*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2011) Thematic Track of EPIA 2011

TeMA 2011 will be held at the 15th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2011), in Lisbon, Portugal, 10-13 October
2011. This Track is organized under the auspices of the Portuguese
Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).  EPIA 2011 URL:
(epia2011.appia.pt)

This announcement contains:
[1] Track description; [2] Topics of interest; [3] Important dates;

Program Committee and [8] Contacts.

[1] Track Description
Human languages are complex by nature and efforts in pure symbolic
approaches alone have been unable to provide fully satisfying results.
Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to texts, raw or
annotated, brought up new insights and completely shifted the
approaches to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic
and statistically based, when duly integrated, have shown capabilities
to bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of
languages, and can enable important applications in real-world
heterogeneous environment such as the Web.
The 4th Track on Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2011) 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) and related areas.

Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of
the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in
LNCS series. If there are additional papers whose quality is
sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA 2011, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book. Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must
be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors.
