This talk will focus on NLP models in an enterprise setting. Unlike consumer settings, enterprise solutions require NLP to rapidly adapt to new domains as well as provide some level of control for the user, either dynamically or statically. This is to facilitate scale with respect to the number of distinct clients of the service. Scale in enterprise solutions can only be achieved through the development of ML and NLP solutions that minimize the need for ML/NLP practitioners to be involved in every new use case. To this end, motivated by assisted document writing, I will discuss two recent papers that focus on adaptation through synthetic data creation and control in generative models, the former applied to retrieval and the latter to summarization. I will show that simple techniques can help automate the construction of models for both of these challenges making deployment seamless.

This is based on work with colleagues from Google and ASAPP .
