@inproceedings{Moore:2020:POST, abstract = {Organizing and assigning sessions within a large confer- ence is a formidable challenge. Some conference organiz- ers, who are typically volunteers, have utilized event plan- ning software to ensure simple constraints, such as two people can not be scheduled to talk at the same time. In this work, we proposed utilizing natural language process- ing to find the topics within a corpus of conference submis- sions and then cluster them together into sessions. As a preliminary evaluation of this technique, we compare ses- sion assignments from previous conferences to ones gener- ated with our proposed techniques.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Nathan Moore and Kevin Molloy and William Lovo and Sven Mayer and Pawel W.
