The international symposium aims to bring together researchers and developers to exchange new ideas and latest achievements in the field of information retrieval (IR). The scope of the symposium covers applications, systems, technologies and theoretical aspects of information retrieval in text, audio, image, video and multi-media data.
AIRS2008 welcomes submissions of original papers in the broad field of information retrieval. Technical issues covered include, but are not limited to:
· IR theories and models
· Text mining issues: classification, clustering, summarization, extraction
· Web related issues: web mining, search engine, semantic web, user log analysis
· Multimedia retrieval: image, video, audio, music, metadata
· Experimentation: test collection, corpus, evaluation methodology
· Systems and implementation issues: efficiency, integration
· Application of IR technology: e-commerce, e-learning, digital libraries, ubiquitous computing, bioinformatics, medical informatics, telematics, etc.
· Cross-language and multilingual IR: translation, result merging, retrieval with multiple languages
· Natural language processing and IR: Question answering, summarization, information extraction, etc. using IR techniques or for IR
