What Texts Whisper: Information retrieval and Prediction from Corporate Documents to Performance
17:20 - 18:00The main challenge in the knowledge industry is to identify relevant data hidden within layers of noise and to build meaningful inferences – assessments, ratings, opinions – based on this data.
