The 2007 Text Mining Workshop held in conjunction with the Seventh SIAM International Conference on Data Mining was the first to feature a text mining competition. Members of the Intelligent Data Understanding group at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, organized and judged the competition. Being the first such competition held as a part of the workshop, we did not expect the large number of contestants that more established competitions such as KDDCUP1 have, but we did receive five submissions, though one person later withdrew.
