Applications of supervised machine learning algorithms to text classification will be presented. The talk will also cover applications of learning approaches like Conditional Random Fields (CRF) to Named Entity Recognition (NER), sequence labeling and information extraction. <br></p><p><b>Speaker Bio:</b></p><p><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Lakshmi is a computer scientist passionate about machine learning. He is a Natural Language Processing Analyst working on information extraction with the Biology of Aging group at the Center for Library and Informatics. <br></font><br>He has been applying machine learning algorithms to natural language processing tasks like text/document classification, named entity recognition (NER), information extraction, computational proteomics (clustering methods for finding & visualizing patterns and for extracting peptide signals associated with diseases in LC-MS data) and dimensionality reduction, manifold learning and visualization for analyzing complex chemical compound data.</font></p></span></font></div><div><div><div style="display: inline !important; "><div style="display: inline !important; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The Monday Lunch talks are held every other Monday.
