On June 12-13 2012, Text Analytics News will host its 8th Annual Text Analytics Summit East at the Revere Hotel (formerly Radisson Boston), to discuss the latest developments in text analytics, social media analytics and big data management strategies.
Two months ago, the US Government pledged more than $500 million over the next 5 years in funding to support big data initiatives. The White House has said that these grants will be paramount in ensuring the consistent improvement in available "tools and techniques needed to access, organize, and glean discoveries from huge volumes of digital data."
In response to these government sanctioned investments, Text Analytics News has invited experts from NASA and the National Archives to speak at its annual Text Analytics Summit. Both government agencies are already applying text analysis to the vast amounts of data they deal with on a daily basis, for very different ends.
Thousands of streams of data fly to and from NASA operations every second. The imperative is to predict, rather than respond. Ashok Srivastava, NASA's Principal Scientist, Data Mining and Systems Health Management,will explore how NASA chooses and leverages text analytics tools to predict outcome, preventing problems before they arise.
With landmark legislation in several states, there is now a business case and an imperative for machine-led discovery. Jason Baron, Director of Litigation at the National Archives and a panel of law leaders will be discussing why eDiscovery is the new normal in business law and litigation.
"We are very excited that Askok and Jason will be joining us for the Summit this year. Both are recognized experts in their respective fields and have a deep understanding of how text analysis can be used to improve insight and achieve greater efficiencies in all organizations," said Text Analytics News COO Simon Carkeek. "In fact, this year we have more practioners sharing their successes at the Summit than ever before, including speakers from AMEX, Disney, eBay and Monster. Their combined experience will ensure that the event remains the only place to get a full briefing on the commercial benefits of text analytics."
