EACL 2006 Workshop on

Adaptive Text Extraction and Mining (ATEM 2006)

April 4, 2006, Trento, Italy

http://tcc.itc.it/events/atem2006/

The EACL 2006 Workshop on Adaptive Text Extraction and Mining
will be hosted in conjunction with the 11th Conference of the
European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
that will take place April 3-7, 2006, in Trento, Italy.


* TOPICS

Adaptive extraction and mining from texts is an active area of
research that lies at the intersection of diverse fields such as
information extraction, text mining, machine learning, data
mining, information retrieval, and knowledge capture.  As
developments in any of these fields have an immediate effect on
the other ones, the workshop's goal is to bring together
researchers and practitioners from these communities, so that
they can discuss recent results and foster new directions of
research.


* SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full papers on original,
unpublished work in the topic area of this workshop.  Submissions
should be formatted using the EACL 2006 stylefiles with overt
author and affiliation information and not exceeding 8 pages.
The EACL 2006 stylefiles are available at
http://eacl06.itc.it/submission/submission.htm

Please send your PDF file no later than January 6, 2006, to
