Data, Documents & Donuts: Structuring Today’s Data With The Experts

Almost every business process contains documents created for the purpose of human collaboration, and which typically contain some form of data.

Think about studies, technical documents, certificates & regulatory compliance, or contracts – unstructured data within them cannot automatically be processed by machines and are hard to be analyzed without unimaginable amounts of manual effort.

Automatically extracting the relevant information from these documents is a challenging task for many reasons, e.g., a convoluted structure of the documents, tables, pictures, and even handwriting.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to leverage expert knowledge on complex document understanding and extraction.

Address: Acodis, Stadthausstrasse 14, 8400 Winterthur (Floor 3)

NLP in Insurance

Natural Language Processing (NLP) offers fundamental solutions for tasks such as text classification, automated chatbots, text summarization or speech recognition. How can the Insurance industry benefit from these AI technologies? This is the core question for the upcoming Expert Group Meeting “NLP in Insurance”, which will take place on Montag 31.10.2022 at 16:30  at ZHAW Lagerstrasse, Zurich.

Felix Müller, Senior Data Scientist at Mobiliar, will share insights into their usage of NLP for different applications (e.g. using transformers for claim handling). This will be followed be an open discussion among all participants (experts and users from academia and industry) and a nice apero.

The meeting is jointly organized by the NLP Expert Group, the Expert Group AI in Finance and Insurance, and the Swiss Association for Natural Language Processing (SwissNLP).
