Researcher at Accenture Technology Lab

Business Applications of Text Mining and Machine Learning

In this talk I’ll describe our research group at Accenture Labs, and give a survey of several pilot applications that we have worked on collaboratively with clients in different industries and with internal groups at Accenture. Accenture Technology Labs is the dedicated R&D organization for the company with locations in Chicago, San Jose, Bangalore, and (now also!) Beijing. Some examples of projects I’ll talk about are: automatic extraction of product catalogs and attributes from Ebay auction text using semi-supervised learning, active learning for flagging insurance claim payment errors, and improving enterprise content search systems with personalization.
