About the event

The AWS NLP Summit 2022 will host over 25 sessions focusing on latest trends, hottest research, and innovative applications leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities on AWS. You will have the chance to learn about the latest trends in NLP from our keynote speakers. AWS experts will share how to leverage NLP for your use cases and you can participate in hands-on workshops that translate theory directly into applicable knowledge. You can also connect with Solutions Architects to discuss your use cases, and network with peers directly. By the end of this summit you will have a clear view on how to use AI Language Services and state-of-the-art open source models (e.g. BERT, GPT, etc) on Amazon SageMaker to tackle your NLP challenges.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the most disruptive technologies within the field of AI & Machine Learning and continues to fuel cutting-edge innovation even though it has significant mainstream applications. With the potential to unlock key business potential and new revenue streams, enterprises are using NLP for diverse use cases including:


* Transforming and modernising contact centre operations with revenue generating insights
* Automating document processing workflows across industries including claims adjudication, mortgage processing, clinical notes management and more
* Building differentiated search experiences with semantic search, content enrichment, metadata tagging and intent recognition improved spelling, grammar, diction and phrasing in real-time as users write
* Monetising media content with context based ad-serving
* Improving Know Your Customer (KYC) processes with voice of the customer analytics
* Reducing expansion and localisation costs with neural machine translation
* Boosting average revenue of sales representatives by optimising the amount of time the spend on certain topics in sales calls
* Engaging with customers in real-time wherever those customer interactions occur— fielding questions on websites, automating routine customer support requests, giving customers updates on their orders, or supporting sales efforts.
* Automated recommendations for
* Content moderation to detect profanity, misogyny and toxicity in text
* Uncover insights from customer calls — manage script compliance, find new opportunities, expand your services to address gaps, elevate the customer experience delivered by your contact center agents
* Automated summarisation
* Legal Contract Review — automatically extract and identify key clauses from contracts, saving hundreds of hours of manual labor
