#chAI : Applying AI, Machine Learning & NLP to Voice and Text

• What we'll do
Details:- NLP combined with newer techniques in AI & Deep Learning is transforming the way we deal with large scale voice to text transcription and also how we draw the inference from large-scale text data. While earlier transcriptions used to be completely manual as accuracy was limited, now Industry is adopting more automation as error rates plummet. Transcription Industry's race towards automation has meant that costs are coming down with increasing accuracy and adoption is increasing multiple use cases, from videographers to verticals like finance and legal as well. One more area of application is understanding web scale text via automated knowledge graphs. Knowledge harvesting from Web-scale text datasets has emerged as an important and active research area over the last decade or so, resulting in the automatic construction of large knowledge bases (KBs) consisting of millions of entities and relationships among them. This has the potential to revolutionize Artificial Intelligence and intelligent decision making by removing the knowledge bottleneck which has plagued systems in these areas all along.
