IIT Bombay CS Department and IBM Research - India jointly present a Text Mining workshop at IIT Bombay on 23rd September.
This workshop will have Researchers from IBM interacting with faculty and students from IIT Bombay.
The workshop will feature talks from the IBMers describing a variety of real-world text mining projects.
These talks will focus on novel research challenges and solutions being developed for them.
There will also be talks from faculty members about some of their recent research in the area.
A small open session at the end is intended to foster focused discussion around open research problems.
This workshop is an avenue for informal interaction and exploring avenues for potential collaboration.
A small amount of time will be spent describing the various awards and opportunities available for interaction and collaboration.
