About this Workshop:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---

Intelligent algorithms for mining and retrieval are the key technology
to cope with the information need challenges in our information-flooded
society. Methods for text-based information retrieval receive special
attention, which results from the fundamental role of written text, from
the high availability of the Internet, and from the enormous importance
of Web communities.

Advanced information retrieval and extraction is not an isolated field
of research but uses methods from different areas: machine learning,
computer linguistics and psychology, user interaction and modeling,
information visualization, Web engineering, artifical intelligence, or
distributed systems. The development of intelligent retrieval tools
requires the understanding and combination of the achievements of these
areas, and in this sense the workshop provides a common platform for
presenting and discussing new solutions.

The following list organizes classic and ongoing topics from the field
of text-based IR for which contributions are welcome:

  - Theory. Retrieval models, language models, similarity measures,
formal analysis
  - Mining and Classification. Category formation, clustering, entity
resolution, document classification
  - Web. Community mining, social network analysis, structured retrieval
from XML documents
  - NLP. Text summarization, keyword extraction, topic identification
  - User Interface. Paradigms and algorithms for information
visualization, personalization, privacy issues
  - Multilinguality. Cross-language retrieval, multilingual retrieval,
machine translation for IR
  - Evaluation. Corpus construction, experiment design, conception of
user studies
  - Semantic Web. Meta data analysis and tagging, knowledge extraction,
inference, and maintenance
  - Software Engineering. Frameworks and architectures for retrieval
technology, distributed IR

The workshop is held for the fifth time. In the past, it was always
characterized by a stimulating atmosphere, and it attracted high quality
contributions from all over the world. In particular, we encourage
participants to present research prototypes and demonstration tools of
their research ideas.
