, President, Data Conversion Laboratory
Description: LLMs like GPT-3 or Llama have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating text on a wide range of topics. However, these models are not without limitations. A major challenge is ensuring that the information generated is accurate and up-to-date, especially for rapidly changing or highly specialized domains. While “slightly inaccurate” information can be OK in some areas, it can be disastrous in medicine, law, engineering, and other fields in which accuracy is mission-critical; these are areas in which the nightmare scenario of LLMs hallucinating and providing false information isn’t only annoying, it can be deadly. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a technique that allows LLMs to incorporate external information from a corpus of documents during the text generation process. RAG mitigates the hallucination problem by grounding LLM responses in verified data sources. The key components of text analytics—text preprocessing, natural language processing, entity extraction, and structuring data—play a critical role in this process. These techniques ensure that data fed into an LLM is clean, relevant, and structured to maximize the accuracy and reliability of the responses. By leveraging organizational knowledge and domain-specific datasets, RAG significantly enhances the performance and trustworthiness of LLM outputs. This presentation examines the intricacies of data and content preparation within the RAG architecture to improve LLM performance. Gross walks through a data scenario, illustrating the step-by-step process of how data is preprocessed, structured, and integrated into the RAG framework. Attendees gain insights into best practices for data preparation, the benefits of integrating text analytics into AI workflows, and practical strategies for deploying RAG to enhance the accuracy and reliability of GenAI systems.

Title: Enhancing Content Strategy Information Management With LLMs and Symbolic AI: Techniques and Tools for Efficient Annotation and Indexing
Time: 11:15 AM - 11:35 AM
Description: Classifying content based on thesauri is an established method in content strategy and information management. Knowledge representation, including formal logic and terminology control, provides precise and consistent indexing, enhancing information retrieval. The advent of LLMs has given these approaches a significant boost. Effective GenAI strategies, as suggested by Gartner and other analysts, now require efficient and accurate labeling of corpora at unprecedented volumes and speeds. Addressing the challenges of unlocking unknowns from latent content, guiding users in discovering new insights, and preventing hallucinations in GenAIs have become increasingly critical. As enterprises explore merging LLMs with symbolic AI, graph grounding—the formal representation of information and data—emerges as a pivotal challenge. This session introduces key concepts and presents interactive and automated tools for annotating, classifying, and indexing unstructured text and documents. A central concept is inference tagging, a method that extends document annotation beyond explicit concepts by deriving new information from ontologies and rules. Gabler showcases use cases demonstrating how content can drive risk identification, personalized recommendations, and decision support, highlighting the practical applications and benefits of these advanced techniques.


Title: If the Enterprise Knew What the Enterprise Knows

, CEO, Franz Inc
Description: In the era of big data and AI, accurate and efficient terminology matching is critical for numerous applications, including information retrieval, data integration, and semantic search. This presentation introduces an innovative approach to intelligent terminology matching by leveraging a knowledge graph in conjunction with a vector database. Our method addresses the challenges of synonymy, polysemy, and contextual relevance in terminology matching. A knowledge graph provides a structured and semantically rich representation of entities and their interrelationships, offering a powerful foundation for understanding and disambiguating terms. By integrating a vector database, the system's ability to capture semantic nuances is enhanced through high-dimensional vector embeddings. These embeddings are generated using advanced natural language processing techniques, such as transformer models, to encode the semantic content of terms within a multidimensional space. This approach consists of three main components: 1) constructing and enriching the knowledge graph with domain-specific terminology and relationships, 2) generating vector embeddings for terms using pretrained language models, and 3) performing similarity computations to match terms based on their semantic proximity within the vector space. This combination enables precise and context-aware terminology matching, significantly improving the accuracy and relevance of results compared to traditional keyword-based methods. Aasman discusses the effectiveness of our method across various domains, highlighting best practices in handling complex and diverse terminologies. Attendees gain insights into the technical details, practical implementation, and potential applications of this cutting-edge approach to terminology matching.
