We will be covering using an NLP framework for text/OCR extraction from documents/images, text preparation and data extraction. The code along will be in Python.</p> <p> </p><p>This should be useful if you are, or plan to, work with thousands to millions of PDF documents, camera captured images containing text, and facsimile messages.</p> <p>Source code, and installation instructions for the NLP framework: <a href="https://github.com/andrewferlitsch/epipog-nlp" class="linkified">https://github.com/andrewferlitsch/epipog-nlp</a></p> <p>About the Speaker: Andrew Ferlitsch has a Masters Degree in Artificial Intelligence, and is a former Principal Research Scientist for Sharp Corporation with 115 issued US patents.
