Új előadóval bővült a meetup.

Szeptember 26-án tartjuk következő meetupunkat. A rendezvény ingyenes, de kérünk mindenkit, hogy előzetesen regisztráljon itt.

Az előadók listája Benczúr Andrással bővült, aki az MTA SZTAKI Adatbányászat és Keresés Csoportjának laboratóriumi vezetője.

The LAWA Project: Towards a Virtual Web Observatory

The LAWA project on Longitudinal Analytics of Web Archive data builds an Internet-based experimental testbed for large-scale data analytics. Its focus is on developing a sustainable infra-structure, scalable methods, and easily usable software tools for aggregating, querying, and analyzing heterogeneous data at Internet scale for a deep understanding of Internet content characteristics (size, distribution, form, structure, evolution, dynamic).

I will show how far this (overly) ambitious project led us, what are the main achievements and blockers that we have identified. Some of the first (but really preliminary) demos are already up, http://vwo.lawa-project.eu:8080/. Some limitations of current systems for distributed data analysis, especially of Hadoop, are in part resolved. However archival institutions still lack an easy-to-deploy, high quality and stable Web scale search solution and now we are trying to gather forces in collaboration with the Stratosphere project (www.stratosphere.eu) and also for scaling the SZTAKI plagiarism detection service (www.kopi.sztaki.hu) over the BonFIRE experimental cloud.

Recski Gábor a huNLP levelezőlistáról:

A hazai NLP közösség hatékonyabb információcseréjének érdekében néhány hónapja létrejött a huNLP levelezőlista, melynek tagjai nyelvtechnológiával kapcsolatos híreket, felhívásokat, közérdekű információkat oszthatnak meg egymással. A már közel 150 fős közösséghez bárki csatlakozhat, csupán egy üres emailt kell küldenie a hunlp+subscribe@googlegroups.com címre. A csatlakozást követően a listára korábban küldött üzenetek is elolvashatók.

A Kereső Világ és a Számítógépes nyelvészet szervezésében ősszel folytatódik a Hungarian Natural Language Processing Meetup. A Weblib támogatásának köszönhetően a szezont a Colabsben folytatjuk és izgalmas programot tudtunk összeállítani. 

A Hungarian Natural Language Processing Meetup következő találkozója szeptember 26-án lesz. Két angol nyelvű előadást hallgathatnak meg az érdeklődők enterprise search és adatbányászat témában. A részvétel ingyenes, mint mindig, de kérünk mindenkit, hogy segítsék a rendezők munkáját egy előzetes regisztrációval a meetupoldalon.

Ágnes Molnár: Entity Extraction – Getting structured information from unstructured content?

 

Most organizations suffer from an explosion of content of many types from many systems; Enterprise Search can be the bridge across information silos and make all this content easy to find and act on.

Tagging and classification are good ways to improve findability, but it takes time and human resources unless you have a good way to automate these steps. In this session, I will demonstrate how to plan and get ready for this level of search solution maturity, how to extract structured information from unstructured content, and what the key points and most important challenges are of entity extraction, as well as how to use the extracted information in your Search solutions.

Zsuzsanna Huczman: What is data mining? - Getting knowledge from structured data.

 

Every big company makes sales campaigns regularly when they call customers to sell something or give a discounted offer. It is based on the data in the background which is collected from customers - and also non-customers too. Which customers are called and which offers are given for them? This decision is becoming harder and harder while the number of customers and products are rising. This is the reason why data mining comes into focus: there are several data mining algorithms which can help us to convert big databases into useful information. Rapid Miner is an open source data mining software which is easy-to-use for everybody, I would like to show a data mining process with this tool based on real database.

Short bio

I received an MSc degree from the BME in 2009. During university I have the opportunity to take part in a financial project of one of the data mining group of BME. I have been working at Data Solutions Ltd. (www.datasolutions.hu) for 4 years as analyst. Predecessor of this company was among the first consultant companies in the Central-European region which are specialized in data mining 15 years ago. My special fields are different types of open source data mining software and the telecommunication sector where I work with IBM SPSS Modeler (previously known as Clementine) and RapidMiner. I started a blog (adatmagus.blog.hu) one year ago whose mission is familiarizing public with data mining widespread.

Október 19-én tartjuk első NLP matinénkat, mely célja, hogy a nyelvtechnológiai cégeket és megoldásaikat bemutassa a nagyérdeműnek. A részvétel szintén ingyenes, kérjük előzetes regisztrációval segítsd a munkánkat.

Ha nyelvi, nyelvtechnológiai megoldásokat kínálsz, vagy szükséged lenne számítógépes nyelvészeti szakértelemre, gyere el!

Egy ötperces előadásban bemutathatod céged (jelentkezni a zoltan.varju(kukac)gmail.com címen lehet)- a bemutatók után pedig kötetlenül lehet kérdezni és ismerkedni.
