German Pharma Company Boehringer Ingelheim licenses AI/NLP Platform from Kairntech

Leave a comment


The Pharma sector is a very knowledge-intensive business – automatic support for the analysis of document content by appropriate AI is dearly needed.

“Powerful AI and NLP (natural language processing) software is vital to accomplish knowledge discovery in an efficient and fast manner for our scientists.” Dr. Karlheinz Spenny, Boehringer Ingelheim


BIBERACH/HEIDELBERG, Germany (PRWEB)

The German pharma company Boehringer-Ingelheim (BI) and AI software startup Kairntech from Grenoble in France have announced their cooperation on tasks around the analysis of text-based information. The foundation of the cooperation is the licensing of Kairntech’s software platform Sherpa by Boehringer-Ingelheim.

“Drug Discovery is a knowledge–driven business,” explains Dr. Karlheinz Spenny, Head of the Scientific Information Center at Boehringer´s R&D site in Germany. “Much of what we know today resides as unstructured text in scientific publications, patents, conference abstracts or on websites. Making sense of (hidden) relations e.g. between genes and cellular targets. Such knowledge is crucial for discovery research scientists. Powerful AI and NLP (natural language processing) software is vital to accomplish knowledge discovery in an efficient and fast manner for our scientists.”

Boehringer has therefore decided to license the Kairntech AI platform Sherpa. Kairntech and BI have assessed the performance of the software on a number of tasks such as document categorization and the recognition of domain specific entities in explorative projects with Boehringer-specific requirements. A key aspect of the platform is the fact that while powerful machine learning methods are implemented under the hood, the handling of the platform is kept simple and intuitive such that domain experts can train and tune new document processing models without having to engage in complex rule writing or programming.

“We are living in exciting times in the area of NLP and AI,” says Stefan Geißler, Cofounder at Kairntech. “The field is progressing with relentless speed and use cases that would have required extensive manual efforts until recently, today can be addressed with appropriate methods such as Deep Learning and others.”

Details of the deal have not been disclosed.

Google Assistant’s Interpreter Mode Helps Businesses Translate Conversations with Customers Across 29 Languages

Leave a comment


News Image

We search the world for the best innovations and technologies to help our people serve customers when, where and how they choose, and the partnership with Volara and Google fulfils that promise with real-time voice-based translation into 29 languages.


LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

Last year, the Google Assistant unveiled its real-time translation technology, interpreter mode, helping staff carry on conversations with customers speaking foreign languages. To extend upon this experience, Volara is partnering with the Assistant to launch a new full service solution so businesses can better serve and communicate with their foreign language speaking customers.

The new solution, which runs on the Google Nest Hub, benefited from successful pilots in 2019 at Dream Downtown New York City, Caesars Las Vegas, and Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, among other locations. It is now being deployed at leading businesses across industries.

At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier today, Jeremy Balkin, Head of Innovation at HSBC USA said, “As the world’s leading international bank HSBC is committed to serving clients from diverse cultural and language backgrounds. We search the world for the best innovations and technologies to help our people serve customers when, where and how they choose, and the partnership with Volara and Google fulfils that promise with real-time voice-based translation into 29 languages. We think this gives us the opportunity to deliver the best possible first impression and customer experience in the industry.”

Dream Hotel Group CEO Jay Stein had this to say: “At Dream Hotels, delivering a frictionless experience for all guests remains a top priority. Thanks to the voice assistant solution provided by Volara and the Google Assistant, we are successfully facilitating highly accurate, multilingual interactions with travelers from across the globe. Even those with the most unique accents and distinct colloquialisms are having more fulfilling conversations with staff about the property, our check-in and billing processes, services and amenities, and things to do around town. By offering real-time voice translation from Volara and the Google Assistant at the Registration and Concierge desks, Dream Downtown has significantly raised the bar on hospitality.”

Delaware North, a global food service and hospitality company, is next to deploy the solution. “As a global hospitality and entertainment company serving millions of guests in stadiums, airports, casinos, hotels, and restaurants, Delaware North strives to delight guests by creating the world’s best experiences,” said Joe Rembold, Innovation Architect for Delaware North. “We look forward to piloting the translation service at select airport and sports venue concessions.”

Volara CEO David Berger said businesses can now roll out the technological red carpet for customers speaking 29 different languages. “With millions of travelers frequenting establishments in locations where their native language is not widely spoken, businesses – from hotels to retailers, restaurants, stadiums, and airports – have long recognized they need to do more to serve these valuable customers,” Berger said. “This new solution enables businesses to scale their unique brand of service to guests from many cultures, geographies, and language backgrounds.”

The Google Assistant’s interpreter mode technology is now available to businesses across the globe.

The return on investment (ROI) is measurable as the hassle-free solution enables businesses to:


  • Attract Customers from Around the World

  • Drive Revenue from International Customers

  • Serve Customers in Their Own Language

  • Generate Positive Online Reviews in Multiple Languages

  • Modernize the Customer Experience

Customers and staff can use the Google Assistant’s interpreter mode to translate any of the following 29 languages:

  • Arabic

  • Czech

  • Danish

  • Dutch

  • English

  • Filipino (Tagalog)

  • Finnish

  • Mandarin

  • Norwegian

NEW Environmental-Facing Skin Care Line is a Game Changer

Leave a comment


Amethyst Skincare


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Amethyst Skincare makes its debut today as the FIRST skin care line created for the sole purpose of protecting the skin from the declining environment. The brand launches with three essential products: Daily Nutrition Facial Oil, Nightly AOX Micro Peel and Daily Airborne Pollution and Smog Neutralizer. The brainchild of beauty veteran, Nicole Simpson, Amethyst was formulated to nourish and protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution, UV exposure, ground-level ozone, and stress.

Just like the Amethyst stone is known for its healing properties, Amethyst Beauty uses potent ingredients and an innovative delivery system to heal the skin by restoring the skin barrier while also arming it with the basic needs to neutralize all the environment’s free radicals. The paraben, gluten and cruelty-free products designed to act as a supplement to everyday skincare, includes:


  •     Daily Nutrition Facial Oil ($75): Formulated with a proprietary blend of jasmine, neroli, and marula oils helps manage skin discoloration and protect against pollution-related aging, hormonal aging, and environmental stress. Infused with vitamin E to protect the skin against pollution, ground-level ozone and UV, as well as Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids.

  •     Daily Airborne Pollution and Smog Neutralizer ($34): This nutrient-dense hydrating protective spray combines vitamin C and niacinamide with vitamins B5, E, A, and a proprietary pollution-neutralizing botanical complex of super antioxidants. They work synergistically to neutralize the free radicals created from the many different types of pollutants we encounter on our skin each day – including ground-level ozone, superoxide, nitrous-oxide and others.

  •     Nightly AOX Micro peel ($85): This unprecedented combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and retinol in one formula boosts cell turnover and collagen production while r-lipoic acid re-energizes cells from the inside out. Discolorations are lightened, wrinkles are smoothed, radiance is boosted, and free radicals removed from lack of sleep and environmental exposure. It also helps prepare skin for enhanced penetration of other skincare products and active ingredients.


Amethyst is committed to being environmentally conscious in its formulation, packaging and production. To reduce stress on environmental resources most of the products are in glass containers and are created with reduced water use. While more than 85 percent of beauty products are not recyclable, Amethyst products are 100 percent recyclable and the brand will provide customers with the opportunity to mail back empty bottles to ensure they are properly disposed.

“The beauty industry is a big contributor to that [pollution] – sourcing to countries like China & India because of the cost,” says Amethyst creator, Nicole Simpson. “We need someone to lead the charge and get real with consumers.”

In addition to the brand’s recycling program Amethyst is committed to donating 5 percent of every purchase to 4ocean – an amazing non-profit that works hard every day to remove plastic from our oceans.

Amethyst Skincare is available at SkinByAmethyst.com.

About the Founder:

Founder and creator of Amethyst Skincare, Nicole Simpson, is a biochemist, medical aesthetician, educator and 15-year beauty veteran. With a deep passion for beauty, Nicole has been formulating skin care since she was a teenager. As the former Head of Education for Glytone, and the AVP of Global Education and Business Development at SkinCeuticals/L’Oreal, Nicole has a deep understanding of the physiology of the skin and has trained some of the world’s leading dermatologists. When it comes to formulating skin care, she went back to her roots to develop a formula that helps the skin heal itself from environmental toxins and stressors.
