Conclusions from the report were presented at a full-day workshop where those parties were invited that have contributed to the funding of the research. Region Skåne and Mobile heights did attend, and Mobile Heights was represented in the panel discussion during the related Press Event.

When: Wednesday December 14 at 9.00-10.00

Where: LTH, E-huset, Ole Römers väg 3, room E:1426

Registration no later than December 13 at 12.00 via:

Abstract:
The presentation summarizes a paper by Tobias Ek, Camilla Kirkegaard, Håkan Jonsson, and Pierre Nugues: Named entity recognition for short text messages. In Proceedings of the 12th PACLING Conference, Kuala Lumpur, July 19-21, 2011.

The paper describes a named entity recognition (NER) system for short text messages (SMS) running on a mobile platform. Most NER systems deal with text that is structured, formal, well written, with a good grammatical structure, and few spelling errors. SMS text messages lack these qualities and have instead a short-handed and mixed language studded with emoticons, which makes NER a challenge on this kind of material.

We implemented a system that recognizes named entities from SMSes written in Swedish and that runs on an Android cellular telephone. The entities extracted are locations, names, dates, times, and telephone numbers with the idea that extraction of these entities could be utilized by other applications running on the telephone. We started from a regular expression implementation that we complemented with classifiers using logistic regression. We optimized the recognition so that the incoming text messages could be processed on the telephone with a fast response time. We reached an F-score of 86 for strict matches and 89 for partial matches.

Abstract:
As part of the European robotics week the robotics lab in the M-house at Lund University, arranges presentations and guided tours in the RobotLab, LTH.

Robotic systems are examples of real-time systems for which there is great demand for flexibility (in programming and configurability), making research relevant to several other types of long-term product development.

LTH Productive robotics lab interacts with industry locally and globally. Earlier projects like SMErobot (www.smerobot.org) has given valuable results, and demonstrated the importance of full-scale experimental verification in close collaboration with industry.

Our robots have now been moved into a new lab in the M-building, where comprehensive and effective activities links LTH departments and forms the basis for a continued close and collaboration with ABB in the Rosetta Project (www.fp7rosetta.org).

It is always good to know how you are perceived and what actually forces you can promote.

Karin Sandin and Per Frykman will tell you how they work and what they ask for, when they find out exactly how your colleagues and business contacts really see you.

We meet at 15:00 on teknopoles headquarters, second floor of the Agora Ideon.

Sign up in advance to info@teknopol.se.

Welcome!

Please note this lecture That Will Be in Swedis

The objective of the annual LUCAS-day is to inspire and develop collaboration between industry and academia in the field of applied software research. LUCAS and Sigrun invites you to a full day of inspiring seminars and discussion. This years focus is on MedTech and industry-academy collaboration.

Please register no later than October 17th at
