Use Cases for Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Details
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has profound value for businesses. It allows a company to gain insights and actions based on unstructured data (mostly text) that the business collects and with recent progress in NLP+ML combined with available computation power, companies can tackle problems that were impossible a decade ago.
In this session, Samuel Kožuch, a data scientist from Keboola will cover:
- An introduction on the business value of NLP
- NLP data structure (what you get from services, recommended business data model, ML training)
- Examples from the wild with insights
