KASKUS will user the Text Processing Tool by Prosa.ai to filter hoax and negative news in its forum in an effort to bring more positive contents to Kaskuser, its loyal users.
The company that was founded just this year focuses on Text & Speech-based Processing Tools with a purpose to imitate human ability in analysing text in a long form document or a transcription. Text can be sourced from comments, surveys, publishing, response, and others to become an insight for business.
Using the Text Processing Tool led by Dr. Ayu Purwarianti as NLP Chief Scientist, businesses can identify hoax, hate speech, or opinion extraction, classify documents based on its type, and also provide basic tools for NLP.
Meanwhile, its Prose Processing Tool led by Dessi Puji Lestari, PhD., as Speech Chief Scientist allows the machine to learn and identify sentences in Indonesian, synthesize the spoken words, recognize the identity of the person speaking, and recognize the meaning and emotion behind spoken words. The machine then can detect Voice-Commands and Voice-ID biometrics, allowing speaking and hearing chatbot to be used in media monitoring system, analysing sentiment and emotion in spoken words.
“We are proud to have been chosen by KASKUS to receive the funding and planning to use the fund to further our NLP tech service,” said Teguh Budiarto, CEO Prosa.ai.
