How AI and Natural Language Processing Can Increase the Speed and Quality of Publishing Marion Morrow, Director, Sales & Marketing, Cenveo Publisher Services For quite a few years, artificial intelligence seemed like just another buzzy term with vague implications on the publishing industry. But now, publishers are putting it into action. Through a range of applications, AI and natural language processing are being used by publishers to streamline workflows, produce higher-quality content, and improve the author experience. Greater automation also frees up valuable time to focus on critical efforts requiring human analysis and subject matter expertise. This session will explore current use cases and future applications of AI and NLP in the publishing sector and how they’re combining to make research and publications more timely, relevant and useful. In this session, you will learn:

Computers as content consumers: Are publishers ready for the new readers? While the public may marvel at machine-generated output from Siri and Alexa to their questions about the world, publishers understand that producing the “input” to help such machines form their answers is an attractive, forward-thinking business opportunity. Computers, however, do not “read” in the same way as do humans. Savvy publishers recognize the types of adjustments that will cater to this new “machine reader,” then make systematic changes across their repertoire —or at least, in a specific subject area – to maximize results. Join us for a discussion of “publishing for machines,” and learn steps you can take to prepare your content for computer consumption. |

Content as Data: Strategies for Modeling Scholarly Content as Query-able Data Most scholarly published data – Journal articles, meeting abstracts, and other content – is held in JATS or other forms of XML. This format is ideal for transmission and display, but not designed to be a query-able dataset. In other words: 900,000 articles does not a database make.We to be able to ask questions like: How many articles did we publish in [these three journals] on [some topic] by authors from [institution] over [timespan]: for example, how many articles on Chemical Physics did we publish in our OA journals last quarter by authors from Harvard? This information exists in the XML metadata – but it is not easy accessible for analytics. In this session, we will explore various models and strategies used by forward-thinking scholarly and association publishers to make their most valuable data asset – the content – available as query-able datasets. This includes excerpting metadata into SQL tables, extracting RDF triples into a graph database, and other strategies. Gerry Grenier, Senior Director of Content Management, IEEE |
