Entering talks
Currently, talks manually
 entered through a web
form interface
Several things help: (i)
recognizing entities, e.g.
people) already in the database and (ii) text
classification
Goal: become for research talks what NEC CiteSeer is
for research papers
Focused search engine to collect talk announcements in text or
HTML or marked up in a partially understood ontology.
Information extraction using LMCO’s Aerotext to extract
relevant talk parameters and enter into database
