How Forte Transforms the Building of NLP Solution with PyTorch into Assembly Lines

Forte introduces "DataPack", a standardized data structure for unstructured data, distilling good software engineering practices such as reusability, extensibility, and flexibility into PyTorch-based ML solutions. Machine Learning (ML) technologies are now widely used in many day-to-day applications. For example, the systems behind personal assistants like Siri or Alexa are grounded in complex ML technologies, such as Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and many more. While the consumer interface of Machine Learning systems may appear simple, the systems behind the scene can be much more complex than they first appear. For example, building an intelligent medical information retrieval system requires one to stitch together a diverse set of techniques.
