> Abstract
>
> WordSpace is a data mining technique that can be used to elucidate  
> meaning in textual information. As with earlier work on information  
> retrieval, WordSpace is based upon a geometric model of high  
> dimensionality, the dimensionality of the space being subsequently  
> reduced in order to extract the sought results.  Random indexing,  
> based upon the work of Kanerva and Plate on the representation of  
> symbolic data in neuronal nets, avoids the dimension reduction step  
> by directly constructing a reduced dimensional space. The talk will  
> illustrate the technique with examples taken from the literature and  
> will show how to easily deploy it using the many open source  
> programs that are available.

> Presenter’s Short Biography
>
> Dr Lorne Bouchard received the B.A. (Mathematics-Physics) magna cum  
> laude frorm College Sainte-Marie, Montreal, in 1960, the B.Sc.A.  
> (Engineering Physics) magna cum laude from Ecole Polytechnique,  
> Montreal, in 1964, the M.Sc. (Computer Science) from University of  
> Manchester, Manchester (UK), in 1966, and the Ph.D. (Mathematics)  
> from Boston University,  Boston (USA), in 1979. He joined UQAM in  
> 1970 and is of the pioneers behind its current Computer Science  
> programs. After holding various academic positions as teacher and  
> program manager, both at the national and international level, he  
> “retired” in 2006 only to come back as adjunct professor and  
> continue his activities with undiminished energy. His current  
> research interests are in the areas of knowledge engineering and  
> natural language processing, with application to web information  
> spotting.
