ABOUT HELENA BLANCAFORT
Co-founder & CPO & project manager at Syllabs, leader in automatic content generation. I have more than 20 years of experience in the domain of natural language processing (NLP), more precisely in customer-oriented projects in the domains of text generation and text mining to meet client needs. Syllabs\' robot writers turn data into texts (articles, customized emails, reports, product info sheets etc.). After being configured by our linguists, each robot can write several thousand quality texts per hour. Besides, our robots are multilingual!#content #robot-writer Syllabs main products are: Syllabs Web Mining: data extraction Syllabs Text Mining: semantic analysis and enrichment Data2Content: Automatic text generation. These products cover a large part of the value chain enabling Syllabs to give meaning to data. From the very start, Syllabs’ purpose has been to develop semantic technologies that are easy to specialize, fast, robust and integrated into a large value chain. I have participated in several customer projects in the domain of real-estate, media, e-commerce and tourism- Keyword extraction in 7 languages for better navigation - Sentiment analysis of hotel reviews and IT products - Automatic generation of hotel descriptions - Named entities extraction in 4 languages Most of our products are available via our powerful APIs (Rest, Get). Moreover, R&D investment has enable Syllabs to be at the cutting edge of web data analysis technology. I have participated in several R&D projects, e.g. the European TTC project (FP7). TTC stands for terminology, translation and comparable corpora. I have also participated in other French National research projects related to the construction of language resources to improve information management.
