Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing as a Means to Support Organizing: Results of Ongoing Experimental Research

Abstract

Temporary forms of organizing like projects become ever more common. In relative terms, the act of organizing takes up larger parts of effort than compared to permanent organizations. Still, it is a difficult and time-consuming process, which is often not considered meritorious. AI, especially natural language processing (NLP) algorithms and models have become astoundingly capable. They even embed real-world knowledge within their deep neural networks. Extant models were probed for their understanding of the domain of project organizing. Attempts to fine-tune such networks in order to increase domain knowledge and perceived usefulness are reported here. Future ways of making use of NLP approaches for temporal organizing are discussed.
