Topic
Dispelling AI Hype with a Real-World, Deployed NLP Model Case Study.
Abstract
Industrial applications of AI have suffered a loss of confidence as systems integrators, consultants, and academics propose best case scenarios and hypothetical use cases. While AI technology can yield massive rewards, failed proof of concepts and pilots that can not live up to their hype harm everyone across the industry. AI is still an advanced technology. AI requires users to adapt their existing processes to fully benefit from it. Deployed AI models typically need to undergo significant customization and innovative training to make them perform on actual industrial use-cases. It is important to share what a real-world, deployed AI system looks like and what it took to prepare so that others can understand the staffing and system requirements as well as properly set expectations. In this talk, I present our work on deploying an NLP model for the NER task in our investment managed focused product that builds a large-scale knowledge graph out of natural language data.
