Special Session on
Web 2.0 and Natural Language Engineering Tasks
at
The 4th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(IICAI-09)

December 16-18, 2009, Tumkur (near Bangalore), India

A Special Session on Web 2.0 and Natural Language Engineering Tasks will be held during the 4th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-09).

In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of a new platform of  collaborative communication on the World Wide Web: the Web 2.0. In the Web 2.0 paradigm, users are not purely receptors of information, but also generate new content through the use of new communication and authoring tools such as forums, blogs, wikis, etc.

A large body of digital information has become available in multiple languages making up what is the largest communication and collaborative platform in history. Different levels of formality and subjectivity of the language are used in this scenario which allows to address topics such  as:

  • Clustering the blogosphere
  • Blog summarization
  • Subjectivity in texts
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Automatic humour recognition
  • Folksonomies and social tagging
  • Clustering and visualization of tag clouds
  • Plagiarism detection of ideas
  • Opinion analysis
  • Sources of opinions and authorship attribution
  • Product analysis and text-based market analysis
  • Enterprise 2.0 search
