Using Spark NLP in R: a Drug Standardization Case Study

In this talk Katie Goznikar will show you how IDEXX Laboratories has leveraged John Snow Labs pretrained models and the R programming language to extract standardized data from prescription descriptions. Examples of “real world” challenges will be shown, along with our approach for addressing those challenges. We hope this talk will empower you to use the sparknlp R package to tackle your own NLP project using John Snow Labs’ models.
