Abstract:
|
This talk will provide a brief history of statistical text processing and look at Ed Wegman's contributions in the area along the way. We will discuss early applications of clustering edited texts such as scientific articles as well as more recent methods of extracting meaning from unedited and short text such as social media or news comments.
