Fast Data Science Ltd is a leading UK-based NLP company. We offer Natural Language Processing and Data Science consulting. Our staff consists of Oxbridge educated, Microsoft certified professionals.
Our company’s specialist area is Natural language processing or NLP. NLP can be defined as the use of software for the manipulation of natural language, like speech and text. In other words, teaching computers to talk and understand human languages.
We help our clients to extract value from unstructured data, such as long text documents. We focus on many industries including pharma and healthcare. For example, a client may have a dataset of 1 million PDF documents in free text, such as vehicle inspection reports, medical records, or similar. It can be an impossible task to read through large datasets manually and that is where an NLP company such as Fast Data Science Ltd gets involved.
As an NLP company, our main area of focus is natural language processing (NLP), although we are also active in other areas of data science. The director, Thomas Wood, studied a Masters in 2008 at Cambridge University in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology and since then he has been working exclusively in machine learning and mostly in NLP. In 2018 he founded the company Fast Data Science Ltd, with an aim of delivering data science consultancy to large organisations, focusing on NLP. We have built NLP pipelines from scratch, and worked on natural language dialogue systems, document classifiers and text-based recommender systems. For these tasks we have used both traditional machine learning techniques as well as the state of the art such as neural networks. We normally use Python but are flexible according to your organisation’s technology.
Fast Data Science - London
As an NLP company, 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, have large amounts of unstructured data. This is typically data in text format, which may even be unscanned documents, PDFs, HTML, or any other file type.
Unstructured data is very difficult to deal with but can contain a goldmine of information. NLP companies like Fast Data Science specialise in extracting value from organisations’ unstructured datasets.
The healthcare sector is increasingly turning to NLP companies such as ourselves for consulting in adopting AI and natural language processing.
NLP technologies in healthcare would fall under the umbrella of healthtech or MedTech. NLP companies 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:
