The keynote focusing on Text Mining for Personalized Medicine, will be given by Sophia Ananiadou, PhD, director of the National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM) and Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. She has led the development of the numerous text mining tools and services currently used in NaCTeM with the aim to provide scalable text mining services: information extraction, intelligent searching, association mining, etc. She has received the IBM UIMA innovation award 3 consecutive times and is also a Daiwa award winner. Dr Ananiadou’s publications relevant to this session span back at least a decade.
