How to Scale AI in Your Organization

According to WEKA's 2023 Global Trends in AI Report, 69% of organizations now have AI projects up and running, and 28% are using AI across their whole business. This shows a big move from just trying out AI to making it a key part of how companies operate and succeed. However, this is just the beginning as the major point is not to have only AI but to have it work to your benefit. Organizations have to address various challenges such as the collection of data, hiring the right skills, and fittin

Text Preprocessing for NLP and Machine Learning Tasks

As soon as you start working on a data science task you realize the dependence of your results on the data quality. The initial step — data preparation — of any data science project sets the basis for the effective performance of any sophisticated algorithm. In textual data science tasks, this means that any raw text needs to be carefully preprocessed before the algorithm can digest it. In the most general terms, we take some predetermined body of text and perform upon it some basic analysis and

Biggest Open Problems in Natural Language Processing

The NLP domain reports great advances to the extent that a number of problems, such as part-of-speech tagging, are considered to be fully solved. At the same time, such tasks as text summarization or machine dialog systems are notoriously hard to crack and remain open for the past decades. However, if we look deeper into such tasks we’ll see that the problems behind them are rather similar and fall into two groups:

Google’s BERT changing the NLP Landscape

We write a lot about open problems in Natural Language Processing. We complain a lot when working on NLP projects. We pick on inaccuracies and blatant errors of different models. But what we need to admit is that NLP has already changed and new models have solved the problems that may still linger in our memory. One of such drastic developments is the launch of Google’s Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, or BERT model — the model that is called the best NLP model ever based

NLP for Low-Resource Settings

Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of Artificial Intelligence that tries to establish human-like communication with computers. Although it can boast significant success, computers still struggle with comprehending many facets of language, such as pragmatics, that are difficult to characterize formally. Moreover, most of the success is achieved in popular languages like English or other languages that have text corpora of hundreds of millions of words. But we should understand that thes

NLP vs. NLU: from Understanding a Language to Its Processing

As artificial intelligence progresses and technology becomes more sophisticated, we expect existing concepts to embrace this change — or change themselves. Similarly, in the domain of computer-aided processing of natural languages, shall the concept of natural language processing give way to natural language understanding? Or is the relation between the two concepts subtler and more complicated than merely the linear progress of a technology? In this post, we’ll scrutinize the concepts of NLP an

NLP and Computer Vision Integrated

Integration and interdisciplinarity are the cornerstones of modern science and industry. One of the examples of recent attempts to combine everything is the integration of computer vision and natural language processing (NLP). Both these fields are one of the most actively developing machine learning research areas. Yet, until recently, they have been treated as separate areas without many ways to benefit from each other. It is now, with the expansion of multimedia, researchers have started expl
