Stephen Lernout is a serial entrepreneur with an extensive background in Technology Sales and Marketing and has a profound knowledge of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) market. He is also a passionate fan and firm believer in the potential of Artificial Intelligence. He helped establish Miia, an AI company specialized in Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Computational Linguistics & Semantics. He developed and implemented the company’s business model and focused on building effective, innovative and highly competitive NLU products. Miia merged into Nalantis where he is now responsible for Business Development and Innovation. Within Nalantis, he is also managing Global Partnerships for the HR Bot Unit and he is heading the CityNet Project which is leveraging AI and NLU for Cities and Citizens.

Current work: Nalantis bridges the gap between Processing and actually Understanding Language. Using brute force in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning combined with advanced statistics will only approximate meaning and thus will not deliver in terms of real text understanding.
