Program Overview

Now in its 10th year, Text Analytics Forum is a place for sharing ideas and experiences in text analytics from beginners to advanced developers. We cover all aspects and approaches to text analytics, including machine learning and AI, semantic categorization rules, BYO to advanced development-testing software, and human–machine hybrid applications.

Unstructured text is everywhere, and, despite multiple and varied attempt to get real value from all that text, it continues to be a problem child. Any solution requires an integrated approach to utilize all the varied types and uses of unstructured text.

Text analytics (TA) is a critical component for all efforts to utilize unstructured text in the enterprise and is the key to a successful integration of this essential enterprise resource. This year’s conference will explore how TA can enhance and be enhanced by four other key players: knowledge organization (taxonomy and knowledge graphs), search and search-based applications, knowledge management (KM) and learning, and, of course, GenAI and machine learning.

Briefly, the relationship of TA and these four components is a two-way street. TA is both a tool for the development of taxonomies and knowledge graphs, which are essential for developing TA-based applications. TA improves search with well-tagged documents and faceted navigation, and search is a powerful tool for developing TA and TA-based applications. A good search is an essential tool for KM, and KM can guide and enrich the development of TA-based applications. Getting business value from GenAI in the enterprise requires, above all else, a well-structured training set of tagged and organized enterprise documents, and GenAI is a great productivity tool for developing and applying TA.

Text Analytics Forum will explore all of these powerful intersections.

Programming includes practical how-to’s, fascinating use cases that showcase the power of text analytics, new techniques and technologies, and new theoretical ideas that drive text analytics to the next level.
