The workshop on Finding the Hidden Knowledge: Text Mining for 
Biology and Medicine aims to bring the biomedical and text 
mining (TM) communities together to explore the use cases that 
will drive the next generation of biomedical TM applications.


We are very pleased to announce our invited talks, which include 
leading international speakers from academia and industry with 
backgrounds in biology, medicine, pharmeceuticals, 
bioinformatics, ontologies and text mining:

* Sophia Annaniadou, National Centre for Text Mining, University
   of Manchester: ``Semantic Enrichment of the Biomedical
   Literature''

* Douglas Armstrong, Edinburgh Centre for Bioinformatics,
   University of Edinburgh: ``Combining text mining with the
   'omics: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea''

* William Hayes, Biogen Idec: ``BioPharma Information Needs and
   Production-oriented Literature Informatics''

* Lawrence Hunter, University of Colorado Denver School of
   Medicine: ``Automated Aides for Generating Scientific
   Insights''

* Peter Jackson & Tim Miller, Thomson Corporation: ``Text Mining
   at Thomson: Medical Litigator and BIOSIS''

* Mark Liberman, Linguistic Data Consortium, University of
   Pennsylvania: Title TBC

* John Pestian, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, University of
