Events Semantic Data New York 2026 LLM, Semantic Classification, or Both? Designing the Right Approach for Enterprise Data

Organizations are increasingly evaluating large language models (LLMs) for content classification and tagging. While LLMs offer flexibility and can accelerate semantic model development, they also introduce considerations around consistency, explainability, governance, and cost.

This session compares LLM-driven classification, semantic classification, and hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of both. Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, attendees will see how AI-assisted modeling can accelerate semantic model creation, while semantic classification delivers consistent, repeatable tagging across large volumes of enterprise content.

There will also be an examination of an often-overlooked architectural consideration: cost predictability. As document volumes grow, content is reprocessed to meet new business requirements, and AI licensing models evolve, the cost of token-based classification can become increasingly difficult to forecast.
