Using Natural Language Processing in the Digital World

The concept of information overload has long a been a reality, even before the digital age. It was first attributed to Professor Bertram Gross over 50 years ago when he defined it as being directly proportional to a reduction in decision quality. 

Think about that for a moment. It isn’t just that we have too much information. We are busier and faced with more information than ever before in both our personal and professional lives. The result is poor decisions.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with the interaction between computers and humans using natural language. The ultimate objective of NLP is to read and make sense of human languages in a manner that is valuable.

Research predicts that the role of NLP will increase in-line with the growing trend of AI and machine learning. In order to leverage unstructured content and transform dark data into actionable information, a new approach to classification is required: one that harnesses machine learning and linguistic and semantic technologies. This is important, if we want to make decision-making more effective.

Contemporary developments in NLP require comparatively smaller quantities of training data than ever before. Deploying these deep learning models alongside powerful conventional rule-based algorithms for more accurate text analytics, sentiment analysis, conversational AI and a host of other use cases indicates the power and dominance of this technology.

NLP and natural language understanding (NLU) are often-confused technologies that together make search more intelligent and ensure people can search and find what they want. The intelligence comes from semantic search.

Data Harmony is Access Innovations’ AI suite of tools that leverages explainable AI for efficient, innovative, and precise semantic discovery of new and emerging concepts, to help find the information you need when you need it.

Data Harmony is so much more than an editor. It’s a suite of tools to help you with your semantic search journey. The Data Harmony suite analyzes, manages, and enriches content – so much more than a single-purpose tool.
