International Winter School on Machine Learning and Text Analytics
15th to 24th Dec. 2013 at New Delhi, India

The school will comprise of talks, tutorials, lab sessions and poster paper presentations. It has attracted very good speakers from across the world and will be very useful for those working (or planning to start working) in the areas of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Data Mining, Text Analytics, Computational Linguistics etc.. The school also includes a poster paper session, where participants can present their own work. All accepted papers will be included in the Winter School program and will also form part of (a) Text Analytics Learning Portal at www.textanalytics.in and (b) proceedings of a major International Conference on Data and Text Analytics proposed in 2014.

The school will cover a wide range of topics in Machine Learning and Text Analytics. Some of the topics covered include: Statistical and Logical Learning, Bayesian Inference, Graphical Models, Reinforcement Learning, Support Vector Machines, Machine Learning and NLP, Computational Linguistics, Machine Translation, Text Classification and Clustering, Topic Modeling, Information Extraction, Named Entity Recognition, Document Summarization, Sentiment Analysis and Recommender Systems. The school will run largely in tutorial mode. Talks/ tutorials will be followed by Lab sessions to provide practical training to the participants on designing algorithmic formulations and programs for different tasks.

All interested in area may register for the event online. Submitting a poster paper, through encouraged, is not mandatory for registering and attending the school.
