Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of data do I need to start an NLP project?

The best data is your own business data, as it contains the specific context we need to build an effective model. This could be customer emails, support tickets, product reviews, legal documents, or any other source of unstructured text. If you don't have labeled data, don't worry. Our services include data annotation and strategies for starting with smaller datasets or using advanced techniques like few-shot learning.

How do you ensure the accuracy of the NLP models?

Model accuracy is our top priority. Our process involves: 1) Deeply understanding your business context. 2) Rigorous data cleaning and preprocessing. 3) Selecting the right model architecture for the task. 4) Extensive experimentation and hyperparameter tuning. 5) Validating the model against a hold-out test set with clear, pre-defined metrics. We also implement MLOps practices for continuous monitoring and retraining to prevent model drift over time.

What is the difference between NLP, NLU, and NLG?

Think of it as a hierarchy. NLP (Natural Language Processing) is the overall field of teaching computers to process human language. NLU (Natural Language Understanding) is a subset of NLP focused on reading and understanding the meaning, intent, and context of text (e.g., sentiment analysis, entity recognition). NLG (Natural Language Generation) is another subset focused on creating human-like text from structured data (e.g., writing summaries or reports).

How do you handle our sensitive data and ensure security?

Data security is paramount. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, meaning our processes are audited to meet stringent security and privacy standards. We sign robust NDAs, can work within your firewalls or on-premise servers if required, and employ data de-identification techniques. All IP and data are securely transferred to you at the end of the project.

What does a typical NLP project timeline look like?

Timelines vary based on complexity, but a typical project follows these phases:
1. Discovery & Planning (1-2 weeks): Defining goals, metrics, and data assessment.
2. Proof of Concept (4-6 weeks): Building an initial model to validate feasibility.
3. MVP Development (8-12 weeks): Developing a production-ready model and basic application.
4. Production & Scaling (Ongoing): Deploying the model, monitoring performance, and iterating based on feedback. Our 2-week paid trial is a great way to kickstart the discovery phase.
