Tell us how you came to be the CEO of Allganize
Before becoming CEO and founder of Allganize, I had previously founded another company that utilized deep learning and process automation to develop an advanced analytics platform geared for mobile developers. The success of that company allowed for an acquisition in 2014. With my serial entrepreneur mindset, I founded Allganize in 2017 with the vision to use technology to enhance people’s lives. Combining my expertise in natural language processing, I was able to develop an artificial intelligence solution meant to automate business workflows.

Can you share some of the emerging trends in NLP?
AI always needs data. Well labeled data. But these data are very scarce and expensive. Thus, Allganize has been focusing on self-supervised learning technology that automatically creates labeled training data from unlabeled data. There are tons of unlabeled data in enterprises, but not labeled data. So, how to utilize these unlabeled data is critical for the AI project’s success in enterprises.
Can you identify a top trend for conversational AI moving into 2021?
Conversational AI for customer support still needs a human in the loop. It’s not 100% self-service yet. A top trend for conversational AI moving into 2021 would be how to minimize human involvement.
1) Active and timely instantiation from the bot to the end-user
2) memory-based conversation would be a big trend for 2021.
What are some of the distinctive features of Allganize.ai that differentiate you from your competitors?
Allganize is unique in the fact that there is absolutely no manual data tagging, freeing up time for data scientists to work on larger tasks.
Once company documents are uploaded to the FAQs, Allganize AI will automatically tag the data, enabling the ultimate ease of use. Combined with the fact that Allganize already has pre-built integrations, businesses can deploy the solution immediately with their existing business tools.
Also, Allganize went head-to-head with competitors to analyze the accuracy of the AI and Allganize came out ahead with an over 96% accuracy rate.
Can you provide other scenarios of how Allganize.ai can assist end-users?

The AI can automatically identify and classify keywords into specific categories, enabling documents to be processed immediately. Simply specify the type of information that you want to be tagged and Allganize will do the rest.
Another feature of Allganize’s document intelligence solution is the ability to automatically extract specified entities within documents. This is useful for documents such as forms, to be able to extract only the data needed, without having a human do repetitive work.
