Title: LSA: From Information
Retrieval to Team Performance
Abstract: In this talk we will
introduce some basic issues in Information Retrieval and show how
Latent Sematic Analysis (LSA) is a vast improvement over the Vector
Space Model. LSA has been successfully used in a wide variety of
natural language processing tasks and here we will focus on its
aplication to discourse analysis to predict team performance.
