7th GATE TRAINING COURSE--LAST FEW PLACES REMAINING (9-13 June 2014, Sheffield, UK)

[Genevieve M Gorrell <g....@sheffield.ac.uk>]

A few places are still available in the 7th GATE training course, to be
held on 9-13 June 2014 at the University of Sheffield, UK.

GATE is an open-source text analysis framework and a set of free
multi-lingual components, including named entity recognition, information
extraction, parsing, ontologies, semantic annotation, sentiment analysis
and evaluation. It is relevant in a variety of contexts including natural
language processing, corpus linguistics, bioinformatics, semantic web,
knowledge management, business intelligence and any situation in which
information needs to be automatically extracted from corpora of text. The
software is used widely both by researchers and companies alike and has a
large, active user community.

The focus in this year's course will be on mining social media content with
GATE. The hands on exercises will be focused on analysing tweets, blogs,
and other social media content.

Further details on the material to be covered, registration, travel and
accommodation can be found here:

There will also be an opportunity for anyone registered at the commercial
rate to get a free 1 hour consultancy session with one of our team, during
the week of the course.

We welcome industrial or research sponsorship of the event--please email
gate-fig@lists.dcs.shef.ac.uk for details.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Sheffield!
