How a top 3 US bank used Snorkel Flow to automate 10-K review for their analysts
A central innovation team at a top US bank wanted to modernize its AI development and data annotation processes in order to create a custom natural language processing (NLP) model that could extract important financial information from 10-Ks. Manually reviewing these documents was taking up valuable time that could be better spent assisting customers. The team used Snorkel Flow’s data-centric AI development process and programmatic labeling to train a customized NLP model that could accurately extract information on interest rate swaps.

How programmatic labeling can minimize data exposure
MIT’s Technology Review reported this week that workers in Venezuela contracted by outsourced data annotation services provider shared customer data—low-angled pictures intended to be labeled, including one that featured a woman in a private moment in the bathroom—with each other on social media. Programmatic labeling could have minimized this.

Building Trustworthy AI applications with data-centric AI
AI is generally accepted as necessary for organizations across private and public sectors to build (or maintain) a competitive advantage. However, a major challenge to adopting AI successfully is our ability to build reliable, predictable, and equitable solutions. A critical flaw with traditional approaches to developing AI is the reliance on hand-labeled training datasets and/or “pre-trained” black-box models that are effectively ungovernable and unauditable. In this article, we explore the motivations and challenges for Trustworthy AI that we’ve encountered and discuss how core tenants of Data-Centric AI, including programmatic labeling, help ameliorate them.
