                   Special Issue on Text and Web Mining
             (http://textmining.krdl.org.sg/APIN/TWMcfp.html)

OBJECTIVES

Text mining and web mining are two emerging and interrelated fields.
Text mining is concerned with the management of very large document
collections and the extraction of hidden knowledge from text-based data.
Web mining refers to the analysis and mining of all web-related data,
including content, hyperlink structure, and access statistics. With the
popularity of World Wide Web, the vastness of on-line accessible
information has opened up a host of new opportunities. At the same time,
it accelerates the need for new tools and technologies for textual and
web-based content management and information mining.

Text and web mining are interdisciplinary in nature, spanning across
such fields as information retrieval, natural language processing,
information extraction, machine learning, database, and visualization.
This special issue in Applied Intelligence aims to bring together a
collection of high quality papers describing original research works and
innovative applications in these exciting areas.
