Should lawyers stop using generative AI to prepare their legal arguments?

Senior lawyers should stop using generative AI to prepare their legal arguments! Or should they? A High Court judge in the UK has told senior lawyers off for their use of ChatGPT, because it invents citations to cases and laws that don’t exist!

Can AI handle legal questions yet? The return of the Insolvency Bot

Can AI handle legal questions yet? We have compared the capabilities of the older and newer large language models (LLMs) on English and Welsh insolvency law questions, as a continuation of the Insolvency Bot project.

Unstructured data

Unstructured Data in Healthcare with NLP Introduction In today’s digital healthcare landscape, data plays a pivotal role. However, while medical records, patient feedback, and clinical research generate vast amounts of information, not all of it is easy to manage or analyze. In fact, the majority of this data is unstructured, making it difficult for traditional tools to process effectively.

How to train your own AI: Fine tune an LLM for mental health data

Fine tuning a large language model refers to taking a model that has already been developed, and training it on more data. It’s a way of leveraging the work that has already gone into developing the original model. Fine tuning is often used to adapt a generalist model for a more specific domain, such as mental health, legal, or healthcare, and in this case it’s also referred to as “transfer learning”.

Document classification when you have sparse data and few documents

Large language models and neural networks are powerful tools in natural language processing. These models let us achieve near human-level comprehension of complex documents, picking up nuance and improving efficiency across organisations.

Clinical trial cost modelling with NLP and AI

Modelling risk and cost in clinical trials with NLP Fast Data Science’s Clinical Trial Risk Tool Clinical trials are a vital part of bringing new drugs to market, but planning and running them can be a complex and expensive process. A key part of this planning is accurately estimating the cost and risk of a trial. Traditionally, this has involved a team of experts manually sifting through lengthy clinical trial protocols, often hundreds of pages long.

Semantic similarity with sentence embeddings

In natural language processing, we have the concept of word vector embeddings and sentence embeddings. This is a vector, typically hundreds of numbers, which represents the meaning of a word or sentence.

Business uses of natural language processing - the 2024 capabilities of NLP

What is NLP in business environments? Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of AI (Artificial Intelligence), empowering computers to not just understand but also process and generate language in the same way that humans do. A prime example is how Google’s algorithm works to provide relevant results when people enter specific search terms.
