TEXT ANALYTICS CLASS, BY BILL INMON

USING TEXT IN DECISION MAKING:

A CLASS WITH BILL INMON

April 20 – May 1, 2020

10:00 am Mountain Daylight Time

[By popular demand, we are running this course again. Sign up now because class size is limited. This course was originally taught earlier in April. But there were a lot of people who expressed a desire to take the class that we were not able to be accommodated. So, we are running it again.]

For years, corporations have ignored information and data that was in the form of text. For years corporations have missed great business opportunity. Now there is technology that allows you the opportunity to start unlocking the secrets that have been wrapped in text. Now you can start to leverage text in your corporation. For the first time.

So where is all of this text that you haven’t been looking at? You can start using your text that is found in:

  Email

  Call center conversations

  On the Internet

  In contracts

  In insurance claims

  In surveys

  In medical records

  And in many, many other places.

Come join Bill Inmon in an intensive two week long Internet course where you will learn all about starting to use text for decision making in your corporation. The course will be taught at 10:00 am Mountain Daylight Time (Denver time) each day for two weeks. We plan on each daily session lasting for about an hour. This is an intensive course where you will learn all you need to know about capturing, integrating and using text in your organization. Due to the nature of the course material, no one will be admitted after the first class.

There are two levels of participation. You may either attend the course (just sit in and listen) or you may become certified. All attendees and their level of completion will be listed on Bill’s Forest Rim site for all the world to see. You are free to use these credentials on your resume once you have taken the course.

The topics that will be discussed include –

  Overview – what is going on

  Sources of text – where does the text come from

  Textual ETL dynamics – processing text

  Taxonomies – the “brains” of text analytics

  Sentiment analysis – what are people saying

  Exploring text – non sentiment analysis

  Deidentification – protecting your text

  DBMS technologies – getting text to your data bases

  Textual ETL – system considerations

  Inline contextualization – handling predictable text

  Proximity analysis – meaning based on proximity

  Visualization – visualizing your output

Classes will last approximately one hour each day and will include lecture and demonstration. Class size is limited. We ask that you attend all the classes if you commit to this course. Classes will be taught by Bill Inmon. There is no fee or other expenses for the class.

The class will commence April 20 to May 1. Class time will be 10:00 am Mountain Daylight Time (Denver time). Sign up by sending an email to [email protected].
