SCOPE
The purpose of this symposium is to present results of state-of-the-art
research and to encourage the exchange of ideas in the general field of
automatic extraction of information from images of printed documents.
Papers are solicited on all aspects of document image analysis and
information retrieval, both theoretical and applied, with particular
emphasis on:
Document Analysis:
High-Accuracy Transcription
Postprocessing of OCR Results
Keyword Search in Textual Images
Multilingual OCR, Language ID, etc.
Geometric and Logical Layout Analysis
Recognition of Forms, Tables and Equations
Models of Document Image Degradation
Methods for Performance Evaluation
Information Retrieval:
Full-Text Retrieval
Retrieval from OCR'ed Text
Image and Multimedia Retrieval
Text Categorization
Multilingual Retrieval
User Interaction and Interfaces
Text Representation
Retrieval from Structured Documents
Evaluation of IR Systems
Papers on subjects in the intersection of these two areas will be given
priority.
