Fast Data Science Ltd is a leading NLP startup company in the UK. We offer consulting in Natural Language Processing and Data Science. We have primarily Oxbridge educated, Microsoft certified professionals on our staff.
Our specialist area is Natural language processing or NLP. NLP can be defined as teaching computers to communicate with humans by means of human languages, such as English. Fast Data Science offers consulting in all areas of NLP.
We help our clients to extract value from unstructured data, such as long PDF documents. We target a variety of industries including legal, insurance, healthcare, and pharma. In fact, any industry where text data is commonplace. For example, a client may have a dataset of 1 million text documents in plain English, such as clinical trial protocols, vehicle inspection reports, medical records, or similar. It can be a daunting endeavour to read through such large datasets manually and that is where an NLP startup such as Fast Data Science Ltd gets involved.
We focus mainly on natural language processing (NLP), although we are also active in other areas of data science. The manager, Thomas Wood, studied a Masters in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology in 2008 at Cambridge University and since then he has been working exclusively in machine learning and mostly in natural language processing. In 2018 he founded the startup Fast Data Science Ltd, with an aim of delivering NLP consultancy to large organisations. We have built NLP processing pipelines from scratch, and worked on natural language dialogue systems, document classifiers and text-based recommendation engines. For these tasks, we use both traditional machine learning techniques as well as cutting-edge technology such as neural networks. We normally use Python as a programming language of choice but we are flexible according to your organisation’s technology.

As an NLP startup, we take on consulting work in all areas of NLP including the following:
Today many companies, in particular in certain industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, legal, and insurance, must process amounts of unstructured data. This data is often in text format, maybe even unscanned documents, PDFs, HTML, or any other file type.
Unstructured data is very difficult to deal with but can contain a goldmine of information when handled with the appropriate NLP approaches. NLP startups like Fast Data Science specialise in extracting value from companies’ unstructured datasets.
The healthcare sector is increasingly turning to NLP startups such as Fast Data Science for consulting and assistance in adopting AI and natural language processing.
NLP technologies in healthcare would fall under the umbrella of healthtech or MedTech. NLP startups are using the technology to compare and detect changes in clinical reports, extract clinical concepts such as MeSH terms from electronic medical records, and develop human-to-machine natural language dialogue systems to improve the healthcare experience.
We have worked on a number of projects in healthcare, including:
We do a lot of natural language processing with Python. We have worked on a variety of NLP models, including:
We work with the following programming languages and frameworks:
