Celebrating the finale of this beautiful summer, the team from LangTec team went climbing in the shrouds of the museum ship Rickmer Rickmers. Fantastic weather allowed us to admire a beautiful panoramic view over the harbour of Hamburg. After that, we enjoyed Indian-Ayurvedic cuisine in the restaurant Maharaja.

We are thrilled to have received the formal commission to expand our machine-learning-based solution for information extraction from scanned-in personal documents. After eliminating major competitors from the bidding process we can now spend all our attention on driving extraction accuracies towards the 100% mark.

The events in recent years have highlighted the need for accurate and truthful election forecasting. LangTec is therefore extremely pleased to be able to make a contribution in this sector. Partnering with a Google-funded start-up from Munich (Google News Initiative) we will use our powerful NLG engine TextWriter to produce up-to-date reports on pre-election polls and surveys across numerous countries and languages. Our NLG core technology TextWriter not only generates human-like texts, it also provides deep analytical insights instantaneously.
