Time: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT

====================================================================

What's Covered:

Join the National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS)
on Thursday, June 15th to explore technology disruption in search and
discovery.  Has your organization become complacent? Joe Buzzanga of
Fivesight Research, Alex Humphreys of JSTOR, and Michael Upshall of
the Denmark-based startup UNSILO will shake up your thinking!  Their
experiences will make you look at how technology is generating more
options than ever imagined.  Technology gives us the ability to test
and drive more intuitive means of addressing researchers’ demands for
new ways to search and discover content.

In this NFAIS Webinar, our panel of experts will discuss:

* How the human/machine interface has evolved to the stage of
voice-enabled virtual personal assistants (VPAs). Fivesight’s recent
market study exploring the impact of VPAs on the plain old search box
(POSB) will be shared.

* How Text Analyzer enables researchers, through the use of natural
language processing, to upload a document and get relevant results
including content, topics and subjects. JSTOR pushed the envelope of
traditional searching and will share what challenges and opportunities
were learned from their beta test of this new tool.

* How the UNSILO experience combines and applies machine-learning and
natural language processing to discover a content’s DNA. Ideas,
topics, and relationships are not just captured. They are processed
further to be understood, searchable and thereby discoverable in new
ways.
