To demonstrate our commitment to the next 13 years we wanted to choose a speaker and technology which we believe will have a truly revolutionary impact on the future. 

Presentation
Messy Biographies to Clean Data - Structuring Text with LLMs and Pydantic

Historical archives and digitized texts are full of rich but messy information. So, how do we make sense of it all? In this talk, I’ll share a hands-on workflow for cleaning and structuring unstructured text using Large Language Models. We’ll explore how to pair LLMs with Pydantic data schemas to extract key details from complex 20th-century Swedish biographies. I’ll walk through the code, show how tools like Prodigy help with quality assurance, and highlight some surprising historical patterns that come to light once the data is structured.
