Michael Fuchs serves as Technology Evangelist at ABBYY. As an engineer, he was starting his career over 20 years ago in digital publishing and on information management using relational databases.
In the last decade, his mission was to enable computers to “read” images and PDFs and to make the embedded content available by applying optical character recognition (OCR). Also document classification and data extraction from (semi-) structured documents are part of his expertise. All of this allows companies to optimise business processes and better knowledge management.
Michael’s current focus is on new technologies that enable machines and IT systems to “understand” unstructured information using linguistic and semantic technologies. He supports businesses on an international level and promotes ABBYY’s innovative portfolio to organisations that want to drive innovation and to action information.
