Practical models and applications using NLP

I work in the Data Vision team as a Senior Data Scientist. We’re helping companies using my applied maths skills in the areas of Machine Learning and Finite Element Modelling, and have developed several cutting-edge models in Image Processing and Natural Language Processing.

Working for the compliance and risk management SaaS business Totum, I managed the project, and our team delivered a DIY workshop upskilling their software developers with cutting-edge models in NLP. Their team was really satisfied with our team’s services and gave us a perfect score (10/10) on our overall performance in the post-workshop survey conducted by Callaghan Innovation.

When developing and building models you may not know that in the 'eyes' of Language Models, all ideas are literally ‘equal’: they are just some vectors in a Latent Vector Space.
