Bay Area AI: Tatiana Erekhinskaya

ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Scale By the Bay 2019 is held on November 13-15 in sunny Oakland, California, on the shores of Lake Merritt: https://scale.bythebay.io. Join us! ----- 1/31/2017 (1) What would your first approach when trying to tackle a real world NLP problem? Deep Learning? Would you consider other approaches proven by more than 10 years of applications in multiple domains, before the deep leaning got into fashion? At Lymba, we are developing a knowledge extraction tool that automatically creates concise profiles for various entities. Such template-based summarization can satisfy different knowledge needs in multiple domains. For example, professional profiles for people include education and employment history, key projects, awards, publications, key colleagues, research interests, etc. The same approach can extract profiles for organizations, patients, business transactions, publications and grant proposals. This talk will give the audience an overview of Lymba’s knowledge extraction and representation approach. Semantic parsing and triple-based representation provide a bridge between semantic technologies and NLP, leveraging inference techniques and existing ontologies. We will show how Lymba’s Semantic Calculus framework allows easy customization of the solution to different domains. In addition, the talk will cover must-know open source tools and resources that should be considered before or along with deep learning tools. https://www.meetup.com/bay-area-ai/events/237140331/
