Dr. Elizabeth Sherly, from the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K), Thiruvananthapuram will be speaking about the "Role of NLP in BigData". 

Date: 9th October, 2015 (Friday)

Time: 15.00 pm

Venue: Seminar Hall, Department of HSS.

Abstract:

The great strides made in Information Technology in every walk out has slowly developed a prominence in Language Computing, which has got immense importance in today's computing world. Being able to accurately analyze increasing amounts of unstructured data, like emails, text messages or voice calls and social media would lead to more accurate insights into human behavior, especially when combined with other structured data. The use of NLP to analyse huge data requires different linguistic, computational and data mining tools and a bigdata framework. My talk will focus on Machine Learning techniques like SVM /Neural Network to analyse NLP and Bigdata problem with example.
