NLPCloud.io helps devs add language processing smarts to their apps – TechCrunch

While visual'no code' tools are helping businesses get more out of computing without the need for armies of in-house techies to configure software on behalf of other staff, access to the most powerful tech tools -- at the'deep tech' AI coal face -- still requires some expert help (and/or costly in-house expertise). This is where bootstrapping French startup, NLPCloud.io, is plying a trade in MLOps/AIOps -- or'compute platform as a service' (being as it runs the queries on its own servers) -- with a focus on natural language processing (NLP), as its name suggests. Developments in artificial intelligence have, in recent years, led to impressive advances in the field of NLP -- a technology that can help businesses scale their capacity to intelligently grapple with all sorts of communications by automating tasks like Named Entity Recognition, sentiment-analysis, text classification, summarization, question answering, and Part-Of-Speech tagging, freeing up (human) staff to focus on more complex/nuanced work. OpenAI built a text generator so good, it's considered too dangerous to release Production ready (pre-trained) NLP models for English are readily available'out of the box'. There are also dedicated open source frameworks offering help with training models.
