WORKSHOP: A Workshop on Text Mining and its Applications

The School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at UWA and Curtin University Business School are proudly offering a one day workshop that involves international experts on text mining in different application areas, such as modern e-Education, climate change communication, collaboration, as well as understanding sentiment in review data. Text mining is offering solutions in many disciplines just like its parent techniques, data mining, so everyone is welcome to the workshop, but space is limited, please RSVP asap to [email protected].

The workshop aims to provide an opportunity for all interesting parties to share ideas, discuss current issues and envisage future directions. Therefore, each talk is roughly about 20 mins, followed by a discussion of 10 mins.
