摘要：
Text analytics is a very wide research area. Its overarching goal is to discover and present knowledge–facts, rules, and relationships–that is otherwise hidden in textual content and unattainable by automated processing. Prior to applying analytical methods, text needs to be turned into structured data through the application of natural language processing (NLP). Then, data mining techniques, including link and association analysis, visualization, and predictive analytics, can be applied to the structured input in order to produce a requested output. In this talk, I give an overview of tasks and techniques required for typical text analysis tasks, and discuss the challenges which one needs to overcome in order to apply them to multiple languages and adapt to a multilingual domain.
主讲人介绍：
Marina Litvak has obtained a Ph.D. in Information Systems Engineering from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She is currently a faculty member at Department of Software Engineering of Shamoon College of Engineering in Beer Sheba, Israel. Her research interests include information retrieval, text mining, automated summarization, and social media analysis. She is a member of the Association for Computational Linguistics. Marina is a co-designer of the MUSE summarizer and the MUSEEC system, which are known summarization systems in the multilingual text summarization. She serves as a program committee member and a reviewer in the summarization and multilinguality tracks in the ACL sponsored conferences. Marina is a co-organizer of the MultiLing contest since 2011.

摘要：
In the area of Text Analysis (TA), construction of a mathematical model that represents text bears great importance. This model, often referred to as a text representation model, determines how well TA algorithms will work. Initial "rise to fame" of what we currently know as Natural Language Processing (NLP) began with statistical models of text that gave good results for typical TA tasks such as text categorization, text clustering and text summarization, and more. In this talk, I present several text representaion models in historical order, such as bag-of-words, vector space model, n-grams, integer linear programming text representation and the polytope model. Additionally, I will show how these models can be used to formulate TA tasks as optimization problems.
