SUMMARY:AMII Virtual Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the latest tools and techniques in machine learning\, and explore topics that researchers and industry professionals are thinking about or working on. Each meetup features two presenters; at the end of each presentation\, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session. \nThis month’s speakers include: \nMarch 18\, 2021 – March 18\, 2021 \n5:00 PM – 6:30 PM (MST) \nReg Ouellette\, VP of Engineering & Alex Trad\, Director of Business Development from Chata Technologies Inc. \nChata develops innovative solutions that solve the complex problem of data access with the power of NLP\, NLU\, and dynamic query language generation. Chata’s flagship solution\, AutoQL\, dynamically translates natural language to database query languages.

They’ll also talk about Chata’s approach to automating the training data generation process and how valuable this approach is for the future of AI in business applications and beyond. To illustrate\, they’ll demo some of Chata’s machine learning models (trained on a corpus of data that has been automatically generated) through AutoQL’s front end widget\, Data Messenger. \nSalome Perez\, PhD Student from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln \nSalome Perez is currently a second year PhD Student at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.
