Expert.ai | June 08, 2022
Expert.ai, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for language comprehension, announced today that it has joined the Qlik Technology Partner Program. Expert.ai enhances Qlik's existing AI and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities to enable business users make sense of unstructured language data and obtain insight into any type of document.
"Language data can provide new insights that enhance analytics and decision making but it is usually ignored. The problem is that understanding language at scale and converting it into actionable intelligence is hard. By integrating our natural language capabilities into Qlik, we simplify access to language data, providing the data practice with simple and powerful ways to develop more comprehensive analytic and predictive models to help the enterprise to gain a competitive edge."
Luca Scagliarini, Chief Product Officer at expert.ai
By leveraging language intelligence supplied by expert.ai and executing Python code directly within Qlik Cloud, Qlik users can simply expand and improve the reach of data analysis and analytics. Advanced natural language processing features provided by the expert.ai API include disambiguation to resolve ambiguities in the text, quickly identify the main entities and relationships between concepts, and assign the correct meaning to each word; categorization to catalog any document out of the box without training thanks to embedded taxonomies, including IPTC media topics and geographic taxonomy; sentiment analysis to determine whether the overall sentiment is positive or negative; and sentiment analysis to determine whether the prevailing emotion is positive or negative.
"Once we began exploring use cases of integrating our technology into Qlik Cloud, we were blown away by how easy it was to get major additional value using our NLP capabilities to structure and analyze unstructured data," said Brian Munz, Product Manager, NL API & Developer Experience at expert.ai. "With a very minimal effort, you can easily enrich data with expert.ai's NLP insights such as sentiment analysis, media topics categorization, PII detection and more. It's exciting to see the amazing things that can happen by combining two world-class products in analytics and natural language understanding."
Organizations may simply integrate unstructured language information into data sets, data pipelines, and analytics for even the most complicated use cases across sectors. For example, email management and other customer-related information to process and analyze all data at once; smart search and conversational analytics based on natural language to streamline data interaction and user intent; and data classification to easily find the right data while knowing its origin and journey. Capabilities include vertical industry applications such as augmented analytics to improve decision making and sophisticated fraud indication analysis in insurance, credit and market risk analytics, compliance, and augmented customer experience in banking and finance.
"As organizations scale their analytics efforts through the cloud, AI and NLP capabilities are incredibly powerful in helping new and existing users at all skill levels drive more insights for action," said Josh Good, VP, Analytics at Qlik. "We look forward to current Qlik customers benefiting from blending expert.ai with our existing augmented capabilities to enhance their overall analytics efforts."

Expert.ai | April 27, 2022
Expert.ai today announced the new release of its purpose-built platform combining symbolic, human-like comprehension and machine learning to turn language into data, analyze and understand complex documents, accelerate intelligent process automation and improve decision making. By extending core features and adding unique capabilities, such as out of the box knowledge models and connectors, the new platform release increases flexibility, simplifies integration and optimizes data pipelines to augment efficiency across every process that involves natural language (NL).
According to Gartner®, "enterprises sit on unexploited unstructured data, with opportunities to extract differentiating insights. Data and analytics technical professionals must uncover such insights by applying natural language technology solutions solutions: intelligent document processing, conversational AI and insight engines." [1] While data has always been integral to businesses, the proliferation of language within the enterprise and the rise of digital transformation have created a new sense of urgency to increase the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for natural language to get the most out of all data available to an organization. This has led to the increasing adoption of AI solutions for natural language to get the most value from all data available to an organization.
To scale quickly and make AI investments successful, organizations need the tools and capabilities to deliver impactful results, faster. Expert.ai has been pioneering efforts in composite, or hybrid, AI with proven-market expertise and best practices honed from hundreds of successful, real-world implementations across industries, including insurance, financial services and banking, publishing and media, defense and intelligence.
Specifically designed for natural language AI, the expert.ai Platform leverages the combination of different AI techniques (machine learning and rule-based symbolic comprehension) with a simple and powerful authoring environment to effectively support the full natural language processing workflow. It is based on the principle that no single natural language AI technique is a fit for every project. According to Gartner®, "The days of singular AI techniques are coming to an end. Software and service providers that cannot provide solutions combining multiple AI techniques (such as machine learning, rule-based systems, optimization techniques, knowledge graphs, natural language technologies) will quickly find themselves at a disadvantage compared with those that can. The introduction of composite AI techniques, even within existing products, will have a profound impact on their capabilities." [2]
Features and benefits delivered by the new release of the hybrid AI expert.ai Platform include:
'Smarter from the start' knowledge models deliver NL applications to production faster with higher levels of business accuracy: new Platform release includes access to customizable pre-built rules-based NLP Knowledge Models used to classify text and extract entities, insights and relationships specific to a domain or use case. Knowledge models made available by the new platform release include: finance (commodities, currencies, macro-economics); ESG (environmental social and governance); life sciences; behavioral and emotional traits; PII (personally identifiable information, with redaction or pseudonymization).
Simplified deployment processes across multiple environments, including Azure: new release enables users to select MS Azure as a preferred deployment environment.
Easier integration, out of the box connectors: unlock more insights through hundreds of connectors via the Boomi Integration Platform and Qlik Connectors that provide quick, easy and secure access language assets in third-party systems and applications.
Enhanced natural language operations: provides the ability to include custom Python and Java scripts or third-party services for pre- or post-processing activities in NL workflow orchestrations.
"Turning data into a strategic asset is critical to consolidating value creation and remaining competitive. The new release of the expert.ai Platform extends core purpose-built capabilities and introduces innovation to continue providing tangible business outcomes, enabling organizations to easily leverage their language data and accelerate AI deployments and time to value."
Luca Scagliarini, chief product officer at expert.ai
