Web and text intelligence are related areas that seek to improve human computer interaction in general and providing users with tools to explore and analyze information available on the Internet. Both areas benefit from knowledge, concepts and techniques from artificial intelligence, statistics, linguistics, among other fields. Web and Text Mining are hot application areas for AI and a source of inspiration for new AI methods and algorithms. Known developments include self adaptive web sites, usage monitoring, web site personalization, information retrieval, information extraction, automatic Web site organization, large document collection mining and exploration, visualization and usability.
The 2nd International Workshop on Web and Text Intelligence (http://www.labic.icmc.usp.br/wti2009) at STIL09 (http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/stil09) expects to gather researchers who work on methods and theories (and their applications) that help us to understand the Web and to build automatic tools for better exploiting its complex world. We also would like to bring together researchers who develop new contributions dealing with Portuguese language in the context of the Web or text mining applications.
