THEME
The guest editors of this special issue of the Canadian Journal of
Information and Library Science invite original research from all
disciplines reporting on various aspects of the integration of text mining
techniques within information retrieval applications. This includes, but is
not limited to:
– developing text mining strategies within an information retrieval context
– evaluating text mining operations for information retrieval
– identifying contexts for text mining (thematic analysis, management of
digital libraries, information extraction and visualization, knowledge
extraction, cross-linguistic information retrieval, etc.)
Text mining approaches described in the papers may be based on numerical or
linguistic techniques, or both. Special attention should be given to the
description and evaluation of the information retrieval system where the
text mining techniques are embedded, where applicable. Applications
described in the papers can be academic prototypes or commercial software.
Manuscripts will undergo the normal double-blind review process for
submissions to CJILS.
