What many of our customers might not know about Evercontact and its team is that we’re pretty darn geeky, especially when it comes to language technology.  If you haven’t already, you can read the “inside story” about Evercontact’s email scraper or if you’re just as geeky as us, you might be interested in a language technology conference we’ll be presenting at next month where we’ll be unveiling a project that digs into that same type of semantic technology but with a much different spin!

 

On December 4th in Brussels at LT-Accelerate, Gaëlle Recourcé, our CSO will be speaking about a research consortium we’ve been participating in the past few months to deliver a simple but powerful Customers Analytics solution for the SME SaaS market. This “Combi analytics” solution will focus on the “common marketing funnel metrics advocated in growth hacking (AAAR …) and interpreting the evolution of these metrics with an automatic reasoning module based on users verbatims“.  

 

Need a translation for that last sentence? 😉
You’re in luck as I did too and asked Gaelle to give us a preview of what she’ll be presenting! 

 
Combi’s goal is to deliver a turn key solution for analyzing customer data that includes mining, analytics and reasonings.  It provides the results of these analyses in a user-friendly report combining text and graphical elements that highlight the most relevant facts and figures and provide leads for explanation and understanding.  Gaëlle will be talking about the general architecture, the language technology that’s been put to use and will do a demo with an early prototype.

 

Who else is in the Combi Consortium

The Combi consortium combines deep transversal technical knowledge in diverse fields such as text mining, data mining, artificial intelligence, natural language generation and data vizualization. It brings together 5 French SMEs and one public research center :

*TEMIS – text mining and knowledge extraction

*ISTHMA – data mining

*KWAGA – NLP and AI

*YSEOP – natural language generation and automated reporting

*QUNB – navigation analytics & data viz

*an academic partner, the Alpage team from INRIA (the French national research lab in automation and computer science) is world renowned team in NLG.

 

What else you can catch at LT-Accelerate

Of course, Gaelle’s presentation will be quite an eye-opener on this new use of language technology within the Analytics sector, but there’s a ton more than you can catch as well at the conference.  Learn more on their website as the schedule below certainly promises to please!
