                Information Retrieval with Asian Languages

Interest is growing in effective and efficient retrieval of relevant
information 
from large unstructured databases.  Research in information retrieval
(IR) has 
expanded its scope widely with advances in related areas such as natural
language 
processing, machine learning, and man-machine interactions.  Especially
with the 
explosion of information in the World Wide Web, the need for information
retrieval 
and related functions has become ubiquitos regardless of languages and
cultures.  
This special issue will be devoted to research and development in
information 
retrieval with Asian languages. Suggested topics include, but are not
limited to:

- retrieval or routing of texts at variouls levels of granularity
- cross-language text retrieval
- automated text categorization
- infomation extraction
- automatic text summarization (including automatic abstracting)
- use of machine readable dictionaries and/or thesauri
- language- or task-specific user interfaces for IR-related systems
- various natural language processing techqniques for IR-related tasks

Interested authors should submit five copies of their articles by
