ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The purpose of the IRAL is to bring together researchers and
developers who are interested in exchanging new ideas and
presenting results in the field of information retrieval
with an emphasis on the issues related to Asian languages
and multilingual applications. The first workshop was held
in Korea, 1996, and then we had 4 more workshops in Japan,
Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, because of organizing difficulties in the
steering committee members of participating Asian countries,
we could not hold workshops in 2001 and 2002. In IRAL2000 in
Hong Kong, we collocated the workshop just before ACL2000.
In the Year 2003, we have ACL2003 in Sapporo, Japan
(http://www.ec-inc.co.jp/ACL2003/), and we proposed to have
IRAL workshop as one of ACL supported workshops. We regard
having our workshop within ACL2003 as a good chance to
restart periodical gathering of IR research community.
Best papers will be considered for publication in ACM
Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing
(TALIP), http://www.cintec.cuhk.edu.hk/~talip.
TOPICS
IRAL2003 welcomes submissions of original papers in the
broad field of information storage and retrieval, but topics
contributed to Asian languages are encouraged. The technical
issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
IR theory
Experimentation: test collection, corpus, evaluation methodology
Systems and Implementation issues: integration with
network and database system.
Natural language processing related issues: Questioning
and Answering, summarization, cross-lingual IR,
term extraction
Information filtering, routing and text classification
Application of IR technology
Web related issues: web mining, search engine,
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Authors of papers are invited to submit original
contributions, not exceeding 5000 words in English to the
Program Chair of IRAL2003 by e-mail. Details such as
electronic submission and style files will be
announced on the IRAL2003 home page.
