Subject:  ACM TOIS Special Issue on Text Categorization 

                         Call For Papers
              Special Issue on Text Categorization 
             ACM Transactions on Information Systems

                  Submissions due: June 1, 1993

   Text categorization is the classification of units of natural
language text with respect to a set of pre-existing categories.
Reducing an infinite set of possible natural language inputs to a
small set of categories is a central strategy in computational systems
that process natural language.  Some uses of text categorization have
been:

       --To assign subject categories to documents in support of text
retrieval and library organization, or to aid the human assignment of
such categories.
       --To route messages, news stories, or other continuous streams
of texts to interested recipients.
       --As a component in natural language processing systems, to
filter out nonrelevant texts and parts of texts, to route texts to
category-specific processing mechanisms, or to extract limited forms
of information.
       --As an aid in lexical analysis tasks, such as word sense
disambiguation.
       --To categorize nontextual entities by textual annotations, for
instance to assign people to occupational categories based on free
text responses to survey questions.

   ACM Transactions on Information Systems is the leading forum for
presenting research on text processing systems.  For this special
issue we encourage the submission of high quality technical
descriptions of algorithms and methods for text categorization.
Experiments comparing alternative methods are especially welcome, as
are results on deploying systems into regular use.

   Five copies of each manuscript should be submitted to either of the
special issue editors at the addresses below:
