Call for Speakers

Speaker Proposals are being accepted for Text Analytics World – Boston, Sept 30 – Oct 1, 2013

Join Text Analytics World to share how text analytics delivers a business impact for your organization. Text Analytics World is a full spectrum conference that covers all aspects of text analytics including business value and new methods/techniques, covering a wide range of industries large and small, and exploring the full range of vendor solutions and types of text analytics deployments.

Text Analytics is a young emerging field that employs a broad set of technologies, techniques, and methods for extracting value from unstructured and semi-structured text, and is used in a wide variety of applications and in conjunction with multiple other technologies.

There are five major areas of text analytics that we will explore:

• Big Data – Including integration of text analytics and predictive analytics – converting text into data and enhancing text mining applications, decision support, topic discovery, predictive modeling, and more
• Social Media – Including sentiment analysis, voice of the customer, and other new social applications
• Enterprise Applications – Including enterprise search and search based applications, knowledge management (collaboration, expertise location, advanced knowledgebases), content management, and other productivity applications
• Intelligence Applications – Including business intelligence, customer intelligence, security, fraud detection, survey analysis, and more

This leading event provides the means for people in fields traditionally separate and siloed to communicate and learn from one another – discovering how much they can gain from an interdisciplinary collaboration.
