In his presentation, Kim introduced the system architecture of the deep semantic QA platform, the AWS services used, and commercial applications. From the suite of services that AWS includes 42Maru uses the ‘Amazon SageMaker‘ that helps easily build and manage machine learning (ML) models‚ ‘Amazon Comprehend‘ for natural language processing, “ Amazon Transcribe ” for automatic speech recognition (ASR) service and ‘Amazon Polly‘ for text conversion service.

Not only is it possible to provide multilingual support that does not depend on a specific language, but its capabilities span across a diverse range of industries including finance, communications, automobiles.
Kim said “Our recent partnership with a large automotive manufacturer in Singapore means applying the Deep Semantic QA platform to a new industry, as well as to Singapore English, which has different language characteristics than American English,” and “42Maru is preparing for expansion into European markets, bringing its technology to life for new and exciting customer experiences.”
