If you get a buzz from reading Orion's posts at Search Engine Watch forums, or you enjoy listening to Orion (Dr. Garcia) speak then your going to love a new conference coming up. Orion's friends consisting of:
Carey Priebe, Chair (Johns Hopkins University, Center for Imaging Science/Applied Mathematics and Statistics) Damianos Karakos (Johns Hopkins University, Center for Language and Speech Processing) Mauro Maggioni (Yale University, Mathematics/Program in Applied Mathematics) David Marchette (Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, VA)
Will be holding a Document Space Workshop at UCLA during January 23 - 27, 2006.
"This workshop on Document Space has the goal of bringing together researchers in Mathematics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Linguistics; the hope is that a unified theory describing "document space" will emerge that will become the vehicle for the development of algorithms for tackling efficiently (both in accuracy and computational complexity) the challenges mentioned above.
