Interested in some of my work regarding government, #NLP and text #analytics? This forms the building blocks for #AI applications. Enjoy! https://t.co/4uTXjMZI1i

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

Good times today, stay adaptable and don't lose sight of the broad array of capabilities in #NLP! #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@cjdinger Perhaps since there is such an array of capabilities and applications, the ability to dive down into a set of related technologies and apply then to different use cases in different domains could be paramount. Lots of parallels and lessons to learn. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

A5: Clearly, adaptability. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@Sglavo @IainLJBrown @sasforums You could always substitute #LLMs heh. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

A4: I've seen partnerships where data scientists work with business stakeholders who have traditionally done processes like comment analysis through largely manual means. Enable #NLP automation at key points guided by data scientists and SMEs. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@MarinelaProfi @sasforums I think a marriage of the "old and the new" is in order. These techniques can truly support each other. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@abi_grif @sasforums Agree. Often requires some tangible proofs up front at moderate or low cost to encourage further investment. So a platform suitable for creating proofs would be paramount. Chicken or the egg? #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

A3: Participate in a #saschat I'm getting smarter here by the minute :)

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@MarinelaProfi @sasforums Yes, no #bias here lol, but regarding unstructured data I believe #VTA aka SAS Visual Text Analytics on #Viya provides a great platform for generating human interpretable rules to support any text analytics or #NLG enterprise. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@BrettWujek Agree, Brett, I am very interested, and I think a lot of people looking to implement the latest #AI methods should really be looking at human-computer partnership approaches. Get the SMEs in the right place! #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@MarinelaProfi @sasforums So with the pressure to build things fast and now, it's more important than ever to include methods in #interpretability and methods to address #bias. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@BrettWujek Yes - I think part of this @BrettWujek is in tying tried-and true methods in analytics, such as #textanalytics to the newer capabilities available, like those in #LLMs - Can we provide a layer of interpretability and modification?

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

A1: Methods of interpretability for LLMs... how do we tune these without just throwing more data into the mix? Should we be filtering or doing work pre-filters? #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

Hi folks glad for another round of analytics discussion hope to touch on some #NLP and #AI topics today. #saschat

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

#saschat Good times taking #sas and #ai - catch you all next time!

[Erik Melton @erikmelton00]

@sasforums A4. #1 issue I'm hearing from tax agencies about finding data science talent--We (the agency) can't/don't/won't pay enough. Maybe revisit that a bit more? #SASchat #government #fraud

[Stephane Godde CFE/CAMS @GoddeStephane]

@sasforums A5. AI software - such as SAS Viya - has been developed in such a way that employees do not have to be super specialized because most operations are drag-and-drop. #saschat, #government, #fraud, #AI

[dwijendra dwivedi @dwijnath]

@sasforums start with running pilot programs that demonstrate the efficiencies and effectiveness of these solutions and then scale it. And we are good in this. #saschat #fraud

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@DanMcKToronto @sasforums A5. #saschat Eh, do you think these same #cybersecurity programs at university are teaching a subset of their enrollment how to commit #fraud and thus enabling them?

[Tom Sabo @mrTomSab]

@TrentPelham @sasforums #saschat A5. Yes, so, say, intelligent outsourcing. If #government leverages the right talent internally to work with, say, just a couple external data science resources, they can leverage a user-friendly data science platform to greatly enhance processes.
