Desire for automation

AI boom raised organizational awareness

images chip and robo-hand

outstanding needs

  • Lack of internal AI expertise
    • Difficulty in evaluating or negotiating services
  • Solutions not tailored to specific needs
    • Uncertain cost-benefit analysis
  • Lack of trust in LLMs
    • Hallucinations, opacity

interface between two canonical approaches

Top-down Symbol Top-down

symbolic rules

explicit specification of target regularities

Plus Icon
  • High precision
  • Low recall
  • Explainable
Minus Icon
  • Rigid
  • Requires few
    examples

Bottom-up Symbol Bottom-up

deep learning, LLMs

implicitly captures regularities with numerous annotated examples

Plus Icon
  • High recall
  • Enhanced handling
    of context
Minus Icon
  • Black box
  • Costly training
  • Limited ability to
    explore data

Expands assisted extraction through neuro-symbolic patterns

successive refinement of sub-corpora and increasingly relevant patterns
