Semantic Analysis Discussed at Web 3.0 Conference
This afternoon, NYConvergence attended the Web 3.0 Conference at the New Yorker Hotel; specifically this panel – “Leveraging Semantic Text Analysis for Marketing, Research, and Operations” or basically “How to use the meaning of words to monetize your online content.”
The panel was moderated by Evan Sandhaus, semantic technologist, research and development at The New York Times and featured Amiad Solomon, CEO, Peer39, Tim Musgrove, Founder & CEO, TextDigger, and Brooke Aker, CEO, Expert System.
The panel discussed how most of the world’s information is still in the form of text and how today’s semantic text analysis systems offer tools for extracting structured data and value from text. This session also provided an overview of the types of applications and tools that are available to extract operational value from text on the Web, in corporate documents, and elsewhere.
From this, it seems that one industry’s pain (magazine, newspapers, etc.) is another’s opportunity…
