It is a set of analytical methods designed to operate across the written word, including call center notes, blogs, tweets, web pages, newspaper articles and much more. This kind of data is strongly distinct from that stored uniformly in database tables, and demands unique technology that integrates linguistics, grammar, math and knowledge engineering. *What will I learn at Text Analytics World?* *New apps:* New ways to apply text analytics. *Do better:* How to achieve better results with text analytics. *Companies:* What companies are at the leading edge of text analytics and what are they doing? *Solutions:* Which are the best text analytics solution providers, what do they do and how do they compare? *Is this a “data mining” conference?* Partially – text analytics can be used to turn unstructured text into data. Depending on one’s definition of “data mining” – a subjective area – text analytics is distinct in that it may be employed for wider variety of value-driving applications by adding structure to the 90% of business information that is unstructured. *Is Text Analytics World run by a software vendor?* No. Text Analytics World provides a balanced view of text analytics methods and tools across software vendors and solution providers. *Does Text Analytics World cover natural language processing or computational linguistics research?* No. Text Analytics World is focused on today’s commercial deployment of text analytics, and while we might cover potential applications of this academic research into computational linguistics or NLP, but not the research issues directly. *What your peers said about Text Analytics World…* “To understand text analytics, you need to be in the presence of the attendees at this conference. They are knowledgeable and generous with their time and talent. It is a great place to see who’s who in the world of analytics.” *– Chris Bowman, Educational Analytics and Logistics* “A first class place to meet highly knowledgeable people from the industry.” *- Antonio Valderrabanos, Bitext* “TAW was great, including the predictive modeling workshop – the information gained was sufficiently relevant to help shape our analytic strategy going forward.” *- Arthur Aguirre, Illuminas Global* View TAW San Francisco Agenda: http://www.textanalyticsworld.com/sanfrancisco/2014/agenda.
