- Conversational AI and Customer ServiceWhat are the capabilities available to tackle the issues and opportunities in customer service? It’s no secret that Machine Learning (where computers are given real-world examples of data to learn from, and they can then apply what they’ve learnt to […]
- Customer self-service is hard tooDone well, customer self-service offers a very attractive, low cost, low friction option for those many customers who prefer to engage in this way. It can be a great experience for a customer, getting what they need at a time […]

- Multi-label Text Classification using BERT – The Mighty TransformerThe past year has ushered in an exciting age for Natural Language Processing using deep neural networks. Research in the field of using pre-trained models have resulted in massive leap in state-of-the-art results for many of the […]
- Train and Deploy the Mighty BERT based NLP models using FastBert and Amazon SageMakerFastBert — The story so far… In my earlier introduction to FastBert, I described it as a library that will allow developers and data scientists to train and deploy BERT based models for NLP tasks beginning with Text […]
- Introducing FastBert — A simple Deep Learning library for BERT ModelsBERT What? The little Sesame Street muppet has taken the world of Natural Language Processing by storm and the storm is picking up speed. We have seen a number of NLP problems solved by neural network architectures built on […]
