Mining Text Data

The importance of text mining applications has increased in recent years because of the large number of web-enabled applications which lead to the creation of such data. While classical applications have focussed on processing and mining raw text, the advent of web enabled applications requires novel methods for mining and processing, such as the use of linkage, multi-lingual information or the joint mining of text with other kinds of multimedia data such as images or videos. In many cases, this has also lead to the development of other related areas of research such as heterogeneous transfer learning.
