We are super-pleased indeed to have Dr. Christian Betz join us as a senior member of staff. Chris holds a PhD in artificial intelligence and brings to the table many years of experice in software engineering, software architecture and machine learning (ML). This is gonna be really great!

Gone are the days when machine learning (ML) was limited by too few training data. Many use cases today require machine learning algorithms to learn complex patterns from huge amounts of training data. In most use cases, however, these training data are hard to come by, especially when dealing with highly personal or confidential document types such as IDs, insurance contracts or social security cards.
To remedy this, LangTec has created DataGenerator, a customised AI solution for generating massively varied amounts of training data based on a very small number of representative sample documents. DataGenerator permits to generate literally hundreds of thousands of unique document instances based on which even the most data-hungry learning algorithms will have enough to munch on.

TextWriter, LangTec’s AI solution for automated text generation (NLG), is now also reporting on international tradings for the English market. Tune in here for some samples: www.bankernews.co.uk.

Starting in July 2018 some of our most senior devs will be supporting a global technology giant from Munich in the implementation of an automated analysis of their meeting conversations using automated speech recognition (ASR). The aim of the project is to create a fully automated workflow for passing audio snippets through a semantically enriching speech recognition process.

Reinforcing our long-standing collaboration with one of this planet’s leading e-commerce providers, we are happy to support their newly founded machine learning team working on the analysis of complex product data. Our contribution is based on our unique expertise mix of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP).

Wow … David vs. Goliath, featuring LangTec in the role as David.
One of our financial-sector clients decided to pitch LangTec’s customised information extraction solution against an internationally advertised, high-end commerical semantics engine developed by a global tech superpower. And guess what? Our machine learning solution achieved extraction accuracies double that of Goliath’s electronic superbrain!
And yeah, just in case you were wondering: We’re damn proud of that 🙂

Not sure what’s happening in the market place these days but everyone seems to be rediscovering good old optical character recognition (OCR) as a fun thing to play with. OCR involves the recognition of textual elements in image material such as scanned-in documents or screenshots. We have been commissioned with our third project along those lines now. Specifically, we will be  using advanced machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to extract business-critical information from scanned-in documents with utmost precision.
