Automated selection and news aggregation for business reporting

Automated selection and news aggregation for business reporting

Project Profile

The client recognized our potential in handling large volumes of text and engaged us to achieve savings in their customer-facing aggregation of media articles. The savings of the previously manually performed processing steps shows the potential for our technology to perform natural language processing (NLP) with an unsupervised approach.

At a glance - essential project data

Insights and Details

In the approach we look for different models to achieve the project goals.

We compare previous approaches with our models in order to achieve comparable goals in the unsupervised approach as previous workers and processors do. This expert knowledge is then extended and improved by us with trained approaches

Blending of the models with the ACTUAL results.

As ML-Ops support we deliver reports on single events on an ongoing basis.
