This program will include networking and an informal presentation by Linguamatics on text mining and query formulation. These two topics are of increasing interest and importance to information professionals. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn more and discuss what you are already doing!
Additionally, a talk at the recent 2011 Gilbane Boston Content Management conference identified “query formulation” as an important skill set in short supply and Dr. Susan LeBeau will talk briefly about her experience hiring in this area.
Text mining has been used for some time in drug discovery and competitive intelligence and can be useful for:
- Therapeutic Areas and Clinical trials
- Drug Target Identification and Validation
- Biomarker Discovery
- Systems Biology
- Safety/Toxicology
- Pharmacovigilance/Post Marketing Surveillance
- Translational Medicine
- Competitive Intelligence
