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.
