[AISWorld] Call for Papers - HICSS 62 Mini-Track: Text Mining in Big Data Analytics

[Victoria Y Yoon]

HICSS 52 – Mini-Track: Text Mining in Big Data Analytics

Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies

This mini-track recognizes the reality that global collaboration systems, social media, and information systems of all types, generate enormous amounts of unstructured textual data, including: system logs, email archives, websites, blog posts, meeting transcripts, speeches, annual reports, published material, and social media posts. While this unstructured textual data is readily available, it presents tremendous challenges to researchers trying to analyze these large bodies of text with traditional methods. Text mining in big data analytics is an increasingly important technique for an interdisciplinary group of scholars, practitioners, government officials, and international organizations. The mini-track on Text Mining in Big Data Analytics is designed to provide an interactive forum by bringing together researchers to discuss the critical issues of text mining and to contribute to the growing big data focus at HICSS, and invites papers that apply text-mining approaches to a wide variety of substantive domains, including, but not limited to theoretical and applied approaches to analyzing various genres of textual data:

Blog posts
Social media analysis
Email archives
Published articles
Websites
Meeting transcripts
Speeches
Online discussion forums
Online communities 
And addressing methodological challenges, such as:
Automated acquisition and cleaning data
Working on distributed, high-performance computers
Overcoming API limitations
Using LDA, LSA, and other techniques
Robust Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques
Text summarization, classification, and clustering. 
Submission Deadline: June 15, 2018

Mini-Track Co-Chairs: Derrick Cogburn, Michael Hine, Normand Peladeau, and Victoria Yoon
