LLMs are tools, not solutions: Entity extraction as a computer science problem

LLMs are powerful tools, but entity extraction still has classic CS problems. A tool can produce results while the underlying computer science problems are still very much alive. Milena F and Andy Schmidt use "LLMs are tools, not solutions: Entity extraction as a computer science problem" to show how context, ambiguity, and pipelines shape reliable results, giving attendees a practical way to bring the lesson back to their own systems.
