Working with an enormous amount of textual data is always hectic and time-consuming. Hence many companies and organizations make use of Information Extraction (IE) techniques to automate the process. Information Extraction is the task of automatically extracting structured information from unstructured documents. In most of the cases, this activity concerns processing human language texts by means of natural language processing (NLP). In this article, we will introduce common subtasks in information extraction and how to make use of opensource tools for those tasks.

Some of the most effort-intensive tasks within the financial services and applications have been managing assets, evaluating levels of risk, calculating credit scores, and even approving loans. The amount of data that has to be scoured, read and understood is humongous and humanly impossible and even if it is done with extensive care, it might not fetch proper results. Machine Learning models thus come in handy for such tasks as, instead of us humans doing the processing, we let computer programs handle it for us.

The software hosting service allows researchers to host licensed software and tools in the central HPC-AI system. This enables the users to have some flexibility when it comes to having large and long simulations performed within the high-performance computing facilities. It also improves productivity by supporting more simulations which could be executed concurrently by all eligible team members.

There is a long list of application software that are currently installed in our HPC-AI systems. As our user base grows, we see a potential issue in keeping up with the growing number of software that our users need. One solution is to let the users bring in their own applications and run it in our HPC-AI clusters and a way to do this in a consistent manner is to use containers.

In support of the AI/ML adoption into HPC folds, there needs to be a strategy with agility in mind when deciding any future scientific computing development. AI adoption in our digital economy has been increasing rapidly over the past few years. Starting from the re-emergence of Deep Learning application in the ImageNet challenge, the resulting key technologies and techniques have been embedded in and influenced many aspects of research.

Data science is an extensive field which touches base with so many use cases that makes it difficult to describe its capabilities just by using the term itself. Data science provides important tools to allow us to gain insights into, sometimes humanly unfathomable datasets.

Machine learning allows data scientists to make predictions based on past knowledge. This attribute of machine learning comes in handy when doing analyses for cybersecurity as most of the cybersecurity use cases are based on the need of learning from past patterns or behaviors.

The automated job submission tool for Fluent simulations has been improved smarter to not only optimise the utilisation of the software license resources and hardware CPU core resources, but also provide recommendations on the right job queue to use by using AI analysis to evaluate the likely waiting time. The tool has also been improved in the aspect of user-friendliness and additional functions, which are useful to all Fluent users.
