Scale By The Bay 2021 : David Talby, Building Complete State of the art Natural Language Processing

ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference This session introduces three free software tools built on top of the Spark NLP library. They enable data science teams to deliver end-to-end natural language processing projects, with state-of-the-art accuracy, much faster than what was possible just a year ago. First, we'll cover the recent release of Python's NLU library, which provides training & inference over thousands of NLP models with one line of code. Second, we'll cover the Annotation Lab, which enables business domain experts to train & tune models using active learning and transfer learning, with support for enterprise-grade security, versioning, audit, and analytics. Third, we'll cover the NLP Server, which provides no-code access via a simple UI and API to the entire models hub.
