Contents

Our goal is to provide an overview of the possibilities of AI, with a strong focus on NLP techniques and algorithms. We demonstrate that NLP is a solid game changer and creates real business value. At the same time we elaborate on the different
techniques and share our learnings on the quality of the different techniques.

Takeaways

The audience will get an overview of the current NLP landscape, with additional
insights on the actual feasibility of certain tasks (e.g. summarization, text generation, text classification, …). Next to these tangible insights on our learnings, we elaborate on some of our use cases to make sure the audience can translate these specific NLP techniques to their business.

Prior knowledge

Knowledge on ML is a plus, we will build up the story for the broader audience.
