ABSTRACT

This talk will detail some of our recent work in the application of outlier detection to the identification of interesting articles within a collection of documents. The talk will discuss numerous methods of outlier detection and will illustrate the application of these techniques to a small collection of extended abstracts.

This is joint work with Avory C. Bryant.
