Objectives and topics
The exceptional growth of data sizes available on the Web, especially with the wide use of social networks has changed data processing. Then, traditional technologies are unable to handle this massive data. They presented often multidimensional constraints; Data come from different sources with diverse formats, should be treated in real time, and may be subject to different interpretations depending on the status of the end user. This is what has led to the emergence of Big Data.
This special issue is intended to provide an overview of the new research being carried out in the area of Big text mining searching focusing on emerging machine learning, deep learning methods and approaches for single and multiple language learning, understanding, generation and grounding, question answering and information retrieval, as well as applications of them to different domains like e-health and e-learning.
To this aim, the special session aims to gather researchers with broad expertise in various fields to discuss their cutting-edge work as well as perspectives on future directions in this exciting field. Original contributions are sought, covering the whole range of theoretical and practical aspects, technologies and systems in this research area.
BigTMS&AI 2022 has the goal of a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the Session include, but are not limited to, the following areas (in alphabetical order):
• Big Data Management
• Big Text Mining and Information Extraction
• Big Data Analytics and Information Retrieval
• Artificial Intelligence
• Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytic
• Dialogue and Interactive Systems
• Discourse and Pragmatics
• Efficient Methods for NLP
• Ethics and NLP
• Generation
• Information Extraction
• Information Retrieval and Text Mining
• Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP
• Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics
• Machine Learning for NLP
• Machine Translation and Multilinguality
• NLP Applications
• Phonology, Morphology and Word Segmentation
• Question Answering
• Resources and Evaluation
• Semantics: Lexical, Sentence level, Textual Inference and Other areas
• Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining
• Speech, Vision, Robotics, Multimodal Grounding
• Summarization

Submission
All contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically in pdf format, through EasyChair. All the special sessions are centralized as tracks in the same conference management system as the regular papers. Therefore, to submit a paper please activate the following link and select the track: BigTMS&AI 2022: Special Session on Big Text Mining Searching & Artificial Intelligence.

Authors are invited to submit original previously unpublished research papers written in English, of up to 13 pages, strictly following the LNCS/LNAI format guidelines. Authors can download the Latex (recommended) or Word templates available at Springer's website. Submissions not following the format guidelines will be rejected without review. To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the BigTMS&AI 2022 Program Committee. All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register for the conference and pay the fee. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the prestigious series LNCS/LNAI (indexed by ISI CPCI-S, included in ISI Web of Science, EI, ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar, Scopus, etc.).
