The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence)
Semantic Folding for Natural Language Understanding with Francisco Weber - #451
29 Jan 2021
Today we’re joined by return guest Francisco Webber, CEO & Co-founder of Cortical.io. Francisco was originally a guest over 4 years and 400 episodes ago, where we discussed his company Cortical.io, and their unique approach to natural language processing. In this conversation, Francisco gives us an update on Cortical, including their applications and toolkit, including semantic extraction, classifier, and search use cases. We also discuss GPT-3, and how it compares to semantic folding, the unreasonable amount of data needed to train these models, and the difference between the GPT approach and semantic modeling for language understanding.
