Introduction training
An Introduction to NLP Text Mining (Jeff Nauss, Linguamatics)
Text mining is used in a variety of ways to identify and extract information from documents. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) with text mining, data may be extracted to reveal facts and relationships that provide directly relevant information to address specific questions. This presentation will explore various examples to demonstrate increasing value from text mining as different NLP techniques are applied. The talk will provide insight into ways data from a variety of sources can be text mined for either life science or healthcare applications.
