Automatic text generation is just as exciting as it is multi-faceted: a wide variety of possibilities arise, especially with regard to potential areas of application. While the text types that can be created by natural language generation range from descriptive texts (product descriptions, traffic reports, etc.) to reports in the field of business intelligence, etc., […]
Our working world is changing. For several years now, we have been experiencing how artificial intelligence, algorithms and robot systems not only change our private lives, but also work processes: doctors are supported by algorithms in the evaluation of X-ray images, robot systems are used in nursing and journalists are guided by AI systems in […]
Automatic text generation saves Retresco customers time and resources. Especially in e-commerce, natural language generation (NLG) can be an important key to the efficient creation of product descriptions. Suppliers of products from such diverse sectors as fashion, office supplies, bicycle accessories or consumer electronics already rely on rtr textengine in their content strategy. However, the […]
Several times a year, Retresco holds an in-house hackathon. That means two days away from day-to-day work – time to engage with new topics, think outside the box, and try out new approaches. This helps us look at our own technologies from different perspectives and make innovative advances. Inspired by the E2E NLG Challenge, […]
Not all AIs are the same. Intelligent language assistants are just as much a part of the collective term artificial intelligence as machine translation or face recognition. However, a face recognition system is not able to translate text or to understand and answer questions. So the AIs have one thing in common: they are specialised […]
As artificial intelligence polarises, the media attention around the topic increases. This is indeed very positive, as the public discourse leads to a wider and more even distribution of knowledge. But at the same time, it increases the diversity of interpretations and opinions, often resulting in the circulation of half-truths. As a result, uncertainty and […]
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and natural language processing – when the conversation turns to artificial intelligence and the ubiquitous buzzwords begin to fly, non-developers soon switch off. These terms are often used too broadly, synonymously, or simply incorrectly. To shed a little light on this matter, and to help you deal with AI […]
At the beginning of this month, the Financial Times posted an article about the setup of hybrid systems—where automated processes and humans work together—and of the different approaches that they often take. The story begins by telling of how a pedestrian was killed by one of Uber’s self-driving cars. It was an accident that occurred when the […]
We are pretty positive about Natural Language Generation (NLG). It would be a surprise, frankly, if we were not. We honestly believe that NLG solutions can be vital to answering questions facing companies and organisations today. There are numerous benefits to companies that decide to implement NLG products as a support to their everyday operations. […]
It is easy to fear robots. They’re an easy way to tap into the instinctive of sentience without human qualities such as empathy, compassion, creativity or mercy. Robot journalism is often seen with the same trepidation, many seeing it as a threat to the livelihood of working reporters and editors. But while many fear the […]
