MAKE-TEXT
CD-MAKE 2018 Special Session on Machine Learning for Text Mining
(in association with the 2nd Workshop of Biomedical Information Management BIMDANUBE)
GOAL
This workshop aims to bring together international experts interested in artificial intelligence/machine learning for natural language, particularly text. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop orally or as poster and published in the IFIP CD-MAKE Volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI). All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three experts –

BACKGROUND
Written Natural Language (text) is the main modality of (electronic) conversation. It is estimated that over 80% of knowledge is encoded in texts written in natural language. Thus, this vast body of data, which is still growing at an exponential rate, is a prime target for knowledge extraction and machine learning.
TOPICS
We are seeking submissions on all aspects of text processing for the purpose of representing, extracting or summarizing knowledge. Topics include, but are not limited to:
– Machine learning for natural language processing, including statistical and neural approaches
– Text processing system descriptions
– Information retrieval on text collections
– Position papers on future developments in text processing
– Interactive systems with human-in-the-loop machine learning
– Visualization of information and knowledge in texts
– Domain-specific applications, e.g. in health, law, and others
– Survey papers on text processing sub-fields
– Data sets and evaluation methodologies
