Call for Papers
Text Analytics Minitrack
HICSS-55
4-7 January 2022 - Hyatt Regency, Maui, Hawaii

Global collaboration and information systems of all types generate enormous amounts of unstructured textual data. This data includes system logs, email archives, websites, blog posts, meeting transcripts, speeches, annual reports, published material, social media posts, and much more. While this data is readily available, it presents tremendous challenges to researchers trying to analyze these large bodies of text with traditional methods. Text analytics is an increasingly important technique for an interdisciplinary group of scholars, practitioners, government officials, and international organizations. This minitrack provides an interactive forum for researchers to discuss critical issues of text mining and contributes to the focus on big data at HICSS. Our minitrack welcomes papers that take both theoretical and applied approaches, and papers that apply text mining approaches to a wide variety of substantive domains.

For HICSS-55, we have forged a fast track publication opportunity with Data & Policy published by Cambridge University Press. Data & Policy is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to data science and governance.

Topics for papers submitted to this minitrack include, but are not limited to:
* Websites and blog posts
* Twitter and social media
* Email archives
* Published articles
* Meeting and call center transcripts
* Speeches
* Online discussion forums
* Online communities
* Computer logs
* Incident and maintenance reports
* Patents, contracts and other legal documents
* Public policies and public comments
* News transcripts
* Customer feedback and employee evaluations
* Resumes and CVs
* Insurance claims
* Annual reports

And addressing methodological challenges, such as:
* Automated acquisition and cleaning data
* Working on distributed, high-performance computers
* Overcoming API limitations
* Using LDA, LSA, and other techniques
* Robust Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques
* Text summarization, classification, clustering, and categorization models/dictionary development
