About

My name is Zhenya Antić. I am an AI consultant in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and I help businesses transform their textual data to extract meaningful insights from it, improve their process, cut costs and increase productivity by automating their text processing.

Many companies deal with large quantities of text, like customer reviews, social media mentions, news articles, financial reports, job listings, resumes, research papers and others. Companies also still spend lots of valuable employee time manually processing those texts, while in a large number of cases that can be automated using NLP techniques. I can help your business to automate such tasks, for example, extracting topics from reviews and scoring them for positive or negative sentiment, sorting documents into different classes (e.g., relevant or irrelevant news reports), extracting information from various documents (such as job postings, resumes, research papers and reports), and others.

My background is in Computer Science (BS from MIT) and Linguistics (PhD from UC Berkeley), as well as working on many NLP projects at FactSet, a large financial software company, and as a consultant for companies of all sizes. Using my experience, I can 1) understand the scope of the problem by asking the right questions, 2) research and summarize the latest relevant developments in NLP, and 3) execute the best custom solution.

Services I offer:

  • Text data audits: reviewing your business’s text data and recommending potential automation solutions.
  • AI Consulting in Natural Language Processing: standardizing data, comprehensive text analysis with topic extraction and analyzing sentiment, information extraction, document classification.
  • Natural Language Processing webinars: talks and webinars on how AI and NLP can be applied in a particular industry and on specific NLP topics, such as information extraction.
