[Winstone-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Java / Text mining people meetup

[Rick K. <ri...@kn...>]

Just wanted to announce a mini-event that a friend and I are hosting:


Informal Text-mining & Java Meetup in Tokyo
http://curehunter.com/public/events.do
Come have a casual drink with some similarly minded devs interested in 
new tech.
(Topics: Text-mining, Natural Language Processing, Java, C#, Python, 
Flex, Dojo, Lucene...)

Time/location:
November 29th 2007, Thursday 8pm-10pm
Amarcord in Hatsudai (near Shinjuku), Tokyo
http://way.sub.jp/amarcord/access.php
2000-3000yen for food/drinks

If you can attend, please confirm by emailing: events at curehunter com

We will do a short demo of CureHunter and talk about some of the tech we 
used, including Dojo, Lucene, and Winstone.
After that we will have a projector available if anyone else would like 
to present for 5-15 min on stuff they are working on.
(the location is best equipped for drinking, however)

Curehunter is a project/site I've been working on with Alex and Judge 
Schonfeld that aims to text-mine and quantify effectiveness 
relationships from published medical articles. For a demonstration, go 
to http://curehunter.com/public/dictionary.do  and enter a disease name 
to view the relationships between it and the drugs and therapies that 
have been trialled against it, scored and ranked by effectiveness.

[Note: I'm not so much trying to push a product here, as to illustrate 
some of the kinds of topics we are likely to talk about at the session].

Hope to meet a few dev type people from around Tokyo.
Best Regards,

Rick
