Business Application of BERT, a General-purpose Natural-language-processing Model

摘要

BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) is gaining attention as an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that supports natural-language processing. To make BERT practical for business, NTT DATA is developing applications of BERT that can recognize the unique words and phrases used in various industries, making it possible to build an optimized AI model that meets the needs of individual customers. In this article, a financial version of BERT (Financial BERT) and domain-specific BERT framework that NTT DATA developed and is developing, respectively, are introduced as example applications.
