About the Authors

Denis Rothman graduated from l’Université Paris-Sorbonne and l’Université Paris-Diderot, writing one of the very first word2matrix embedding solutions. He began his career authoring one of the first AI cognitive NLP chatbots applied as a language teacher for Moët et Chandon and other companies. He authored an AI resource optimizer for IBM and apparel producers. He then authored an Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) solution used worldwide.

Matthew Lamons‘s background is in experimental psychology and deep learning. Founder and CEO of Skejul–the AI platform to help people manage their activities. Named by Gartner, Inc. as a “Cool Vendor” in the “Cool Vendors in Unified Communication, 2017” report. He founded The Intelligence Factory to build AI strategy, solutions, insights, and talent for enterprise clients and incubate AI tech startups based on the success of his Applied AI MasterMinds group. Matthew’s global community of more than 85 K are leaders in AI, forecasting, robotics, autonomous vehicles, marketing tech, NLP, computer vision, reinforcement, and deep learning. Matthew invites you to join him on his mission to simplify the future and to build AI for good.

Rahul Kumar is an AI scientist, deep learning practitioner, and independent researcher. His expertise in building multilingual NLU systems and large-scale AI infrastructures has brought him to Copenhagen, where he leads a large team of AI engineers as Chief AI Scientist at Jatana. Often invited to speak at AI conferences, he frequently travels between India, Europe, and the US where, among other research initiatives, he collaborates with The Intelligence Factory as NLP data science fellow. Keen to explore the ramifications of emerging technologies for his next book, he’s currently involved in various research projects on Quantum Computing (QC), high-performance computing (HPC), and the brain-computer interaction (BCI).
