This session will cover the process of building custom named entity recognition (NER) models using Azure AI Language. Attendees will learn how to define and tag custom entities, train models to extract these entities from unstructured text, and evaluate model performance. Practical exercises will provide hands-on experience with the Azure AI Language platform.

How do you think a Start-up will be benefited from this session?
Start-ups can leverage custom NER for a variety of use cases:
Automating data extraction from documents: Extract key information like product names, dates, locations, and contract details from invoices, contracts, and other documents.
Improving customer support: Identify specific product mentions or issue types in customer feedback to route inquiries to the appropriate team.
Enhancing search functionality: Index documents based on extracted entities to provide more relevant search results.
Analyzing social media: Extract brand mentions, product names, and other relevant information from social media posts.
By automating these processes, start-ups can save time and resources, gain valuable insights from their data, and improve operational efficiency.
