International Workshop on Topic Feature Discovery and Opinion Mining (TFDOM 2010) Joint with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM´10);

Background Information

Topic feature discovery and opinion mining are extremely challenging topics in modern information analysis, from both an empirical and a theoretical perspective. They are also of central interest and the critical steps for many Web personalized applications and recommender systems. The problems in topic feature discovery and opinion mining have charged continuously increasing attentions from researchers in data mining, Web intelligence, text mining, machine learning, natural language processing, and information retrieval communities. Strongly focusing on these two challenging topics and their surrounding areas, this workshop aims to enhance the current text mining and opinion mining techniques, and explores a new methodology to discover and interpret useful and interesting knowledge in text documents.

Keynote

We are glad to announce that Prof. Bing Liu from University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, will deliver a keynote speech in the workshop. Prof. Liu is a well–known researcher highly active in the fields of text mining and opinion mining. He has been participating in these areas for more than ten years. The methods developed and the scientific findings discovered by him and his team have made significant impacts on the data mining, text mining, and opinion mining communities.

Prof. Liu has confirmed his acceptance of the invitation to give a keynote speech in our workshop. This is a great, unusual opportunity for our workshop participants to discuss with such a world class level expert face–to–face. Such an opportunity will be beneficial and invaluable to any data mining participants from either academia or industry. Therefore, having Prof. Bing Liu as a keynote speaker in our workshop will have great potential to attract a large number of quality contributions.
