Natural language processing
Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this app uses natural language processing, Plotly Dash, and the spaCy and Scikit-Learn libraries to calculate the risk of a clinical trial failing to deliver informative results. It reads the trial protocol and identifies key features from the text which are fed into a risk model.
Thomas Wood will be presenting the tool in a webinar on 7 June 2023 which you can book here.
Thank you to all #PlotlyCommunity members who participated in the recent #Dash Example Apps Challenge, and congratulations to the winning submissions!

When can lawyers, litigants in person, and expert witnesses use AI in court documents?
