Semantic Natural Language Understanding with Spark, UIMA & Machine Learned On...David Talby
A text mining system must go way beyond indexing and search to appear truly intelligent. First, it should understand language beyond keyword matching (for example, distinguishing between “Jane has the flu,” “Jane may have the flu,” “Jane is concerned about the flu," “Jane’s sister has the flu, but she doesn’t,” or “Jane had the flu when she was 9” is of critical importance). This is a natural language processing problem. Second, it should “read between the lines” and make likely inferences even if they’re not explicitly written (for example, if Jane has had a fever, a headache, fatigue, and a runny nose for three days, not as part of an ongoing condition, then she likely has the flu). This is a semi-supervised machine learning problem. And third, it should automatically learn the right contextual inferences to make (for example, learning on its own that fatigue is (sometimes) a flu symptom—only because it appears in many diagnosed patients—without a human ever explicitly stating that rule). This is an association-mining problem, which can be tackled via deep learning or via more guided machine-learning techniques.
This is a live demo of an end-to-end system that makes nontrivial clinical inferences from free-text patient records and provides real-time inferencing at scale. The architecture is built out of open source big data components: Kafka and Spark Streaming for real-time data ingestion and processing, Spark for modeling, and Titan and Elasticsearch for enabling low-latency access to results. The data science components include a UIMA pipeline with custom annotators, machine-learning models for implicit inferences, and dynamic ontologies based on deep learning with Word2Vec for representing and learning new relationships between concepts.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF IMAGINATION!
This digital portfolio is filled with my passion and love for design. Get ready to dive into my world of imagination. Here you go!
2. As a graduate of the Academy of Art University, I have acquired a unique set of skills,
which I personally categorize as creative business organization. Studying merchandising
at a school of art has given me the ability to see the clear connection between business
and design; I am able to stay efficient and organized while being creative and thinking
outside the box.
In addition to my knowledge of business and design I can offer you many various skills.
Along with my eye for aesthetics, I am extremely organized, versatile, and a very fast
learner. I work great with others and am open to constructive criticisms and suggestions.
I am also perfectly capable of taking on challenging tasks independently and managing
multiple projects when needed. I will also be offering you my dedication. I make it a point
to be reliable and punctual, and I constantly keep my workspace in order.
Being a part of your company is ideal for me, I have great communication and visual
design skills as well as knowledge of Windows, Mac OSX, Microsoft Office, and Adobe
Creative Suite. I am eager to join your team and help any business run more smoothly
than it already is.
Thank you,
Farah Akbik
