“It’s been another year of explosive growth for AI and NLP, and the need for sharing knowledge and establishing best practices to ensure the ethical and responsible use of the technology is paramount,” said David Talby, CTO, John Snow Labs. “There are few industries as important or sensitive as healthcare, and the Healthcare NLP Summit aims to bridge the gap between the hype and real world applications of safe, efficient, and production-ready clinical NLP.”
In addition to the exciting speaker lineup, live Q&A sessions, networking opportunities, and live training & certification workshops, John Snow Labs will announce its new NLP Test Library at the show.
