Government Users Conference: Navigating the Human Terrain The Basis Technology’s Government Users Conference on May 20–21, 2008 has concluded. Thanks to all speakers, exhibitors, and attendees!
Conducting military operations in a low-intensity conflict requires knowledge of the “human terrain” — the social, cultural, and linguistic intelligence which enables understanding of the people among whom our forces must operate. Basis Technology is committed to supporting this mission by creating tools and technologies for navigating the human terrain with exceptional precision and accuracy.
You are invited to explore and learn about these capabilities at Basis Technology’s Government Users Conference to be held on May 20–21, 2008 at the The Inn & Conference Center in College Park, MD. This intensive, two-day program includes talks, demonstrations, and tutorials showcasing the state-of-the-art in human language technology (HLT), document and media exploitation (DOMEX), cell phone exploitation (CELLEX), digital forensics, and linguist productivity. This is a unique opportunity to meet the experts, network with your peers, acquire new skills, and plug–in to the fast–growing Basis Technology user community.
Conference Highlights
