Description</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-size:10pt">The 9th Track of Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2021)
is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e. Natural
Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language
Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR), and related
areas.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-size:10pt"> The
most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through textual documents.
Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual information is openly published
every day, on many different topics and written in natural language, thus
offering new insights and many opportunities for innovative applications of Human
Language Technologies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-size:10pt"> Following
recent advances in general IA sub-fields such as NLP, Machine Learning (ML) and
Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even more valuable as tool for bridging
the gap between language theories and effective use of natural language
contents, for harnessing the power of semi-structured and unstructured data,
and to enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous environments.
Both hidden and new knowledge can be discovered by using text mining methods,
at multiple levels and in multiple dimensions, and often with high commercial
value.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black">Authors are
invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified in section [2]. Revision
of the papers will be double-blind by the members of the Program Committee. All
accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the proceedings of the
20<sup>th</sup> EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA 2021. </span></p>
