Text Mining Applications in the Social Sciences

Following our agenda setting workshop in 2006, "Bridging quantitative and qualitative methods for social sciences using text mining techniques", we invite submissions to this workshop which will be held at the 4th International Conference on e-Social Science (http://www.ncess.ac.uk/events/conference/) on any topic of current interest in relation to the application of text mining techniques in the social sciences.

We especially encourage submissions on (but not only):

.  The limitations of current tools for qualitative social science
.  Emerging applications of TM for qualitative social science, e.g. Frame analysis, Systematic reviews, Summarisation, Content analysis, Sentiment analysis
.  Text mining tools and their relevance to qualitative social science, e.g. document clustering and classification, Named entity recognition for social sciences, Lexica, thesauri and ontologies, Metadata creation for qualitative data
.  Creation of annotated corpora for text mining applications
.  Evaluation methodologies
.  Topic identification
