Theme Statement

Extracting content from text continues to be an important research problem for information processing and management. Approaches to capture the semantics of text-based document collections may be based on Bayesian models, probability theory, vector space models, statistical models, or even graph theory. No doubt we have moved beyond the bag of words notion of text documents to exploit not only the patterns but also the structure of term usage. As digital libraries and the World-Wide-Web continue to proliferate the enormous volume of online textual material, effective yet scalable approaches to text mining will be needed. How can we know what a document is about without having to read it? How do you classify or categorize documents from diverse sources? These are some of the fundamental yet simple questions we must be able to address.

A one-day workshop on Web Mining is being held in conjunction with SDM 2001 in Chicago (April '01) to bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines to present their current approaches and results in text mining.


Topics of interest include:
