Summer School: Text Mining for Innovation Management

Location: Stockholm, Sweden

Overview

This summer school is designed for PhD students, researchers  and scholars in the field of Innovation Management who are interested in harnessing the power of Text Mining (TM) and Large Language Models (LLMs). Over two engaging days, participants will be introduced to a wide range of Text Mining techniques and how these can be applied in the context of innovation management. 

The summer school commences with a comprehensive introduction to the realm of Text Mining and its evolution, providing historical context and setting the stage for subsequent, more in-depth modules. 

Over the course of the program, participants will gain proficiency in a variety of techniques including document retrieval, Natural Language Processing (NLP), data visualization, and more applied to patents, scientific publications and other science and technological documents. Participants will explore several key elements of NLP, such as Bag-of-Words (BoW) models, word embeddings, and text analysis at both document and word levels. 

Participants will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the cutting-edge ChatGPT through an interactive session titled “The Prompt Canva®: Learn How to Interact with ChatGPT”. 

The program is highly interactive, with a two day datathon  parallel to all of the lecture, to put in practice from day zero what students have learned. Participants will apply their learned skills on real-world datasets related to Innovation Management, leading to a final presentation of results. A dedicated section also explores the significant contributions, journals, and authors in Innovation Management, culminating in the creation of a shared research agenda.  

This summer school is more than just a learning experience; it’s a platform for fostering collaboration, innovation, and a deeper understanding of the exiting and growing field of TM in the context of innovation management.

Audience and registration

The summer school on Text Mining for Innovation Management is open to PhD Students, researchers and scholars in the innovation management community interested in the topic. 

All the interested people can apply for participation filling the following form. 

Deadline for application: 31/03/2024.

Please note that there are no mandatory prerequisites. The only requirement is a keen interest in TM and its applications in innovation management. If you are enthusiastic about learning and applying TM techniques in your research, this summer school will be a valuable and rewarding experience.

Venue

Department of Engineering Design, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Brinellvägen 85, SE-114 28 Stockholm, Sweden

Pricing

• No fees for partecipants! Applications received through Google Form will be evaluated in order to reach a maximum number of 25 participants. The priority will be given to those who register first.
• Cofee breaks and dinner of the second day offered by the organisation.  

project work and certificate of attendance

Part of the summer school will be dedicated to a project work. Participants will have time to prepare a work in teams, which they will present at our committee at the end of the school. We will consider this work as an exam, therefore, we will recognize the hours of the summer school (20) for doctoral students with a certificate, counting as 2 EC.

Committee

• Filippo Chiarello, PhD, Ass. Professor of Natural Language Processing and Design (University of Pisa)
• Mats Engwall, PhD, Professor of Industrial Management, KTH
• Mats Magnusson, PhD, Professor of Product Innovation Engineering, KTH
• Vito Giordano, PhD, Researcher in Natural Language Processing and Innovation (University of Pisa)
• Ivan Zupic, PhD, Lecturer in Lecturer in Entrepreneurship (University of London)
