To meet the requirements of unexpected regulatory changes brought on by the pandemic, a top-10 US bank needed to urgently adapt its underperforming model-centric artificial intelligence and machine learning development approach to a data-centric one. The team used Snorkel Flow to automatically classify thousands of loan documents and extract critical clauses in just 24 hours, saving loan managers thousands of hours of manual document review.

Schlumberger is the world’s leading provider of technology and services for the energy industry, operating in over 120 countries. The company provides well maintenance and analytics services to the world’s biggest oil companies, and it believes that large-scale data analysis and artificial intelligence/machine learning will help them remain a leader in the market. One way they’ve been able to achieve this is by building their own AI application using Snorkel Flow to automatically extract geological entities and critical field data across a variety of document structures and report types they receive from their customers.

Continuous Model Feedback, available in beta as part of the new Studio experience, is Snorkel Flow’s latest capabilities to make training data creation and model development more integrated, automated, and guided.

Snorkel AI just hosted the second day of The Future of Data-Centric AI conference 2022. Across 40+ sessions, 50+ Data scientists, ML engineers, and AI leaders came together to share insights, best practices, and research on adopting data-centric approaches with thousands of attendees from all around the world. Aarti Bagul, a Snorkel AI ML Solutions Engineer and one of the

Building NLP techniques to understand 10-Ks is time-consuming, costly, and challenging. In this post, Machine Learning Engineer, Aarti Bagul discusses three information extraction case studies on how banks around the world are building highly accurate NLP applications using Snorkel Flow’s AI platform. From retail banking to hedge fund investing, NLP is used across the financial industry. By processing and extracting

Programmatic labeling moves a classic technique from interesting to high-impact So much of real-world AI development entails working with text data that’s messy — in fact, 80%+ of enterprise data is unstructured. And while state-of-the-art models get a lot of the glory, creating the training data that conveys what your model needs to learn is more often the biggest determiner of AI

AI systems are well-suited to tasks involving recognizing and predicting data patterns. Supervised classification systems categorize unseen data into a finite set of discrete classes by learning from millions of hand-labeled labeled sample points. These classifiers are powerful business tools – they automate document sorting, customer sentiment analysis, sales performance, and other distinct business problems. However, they also require an

What is data annotation? Data annotation refers to the process of categorizing and labeling data for training datasets. This process plays a critical role in preparing data for machine learning models, as high-quality training data enables more accurate predictions and insights. In order for a training dataset to be usable, it must be categorized appropriately and annotated for a specific

Highlighting the best practices for building and deploying AI models for financial document processing applications AI has massive potential in the financial industry. Building AI models to automate information extraction, fraud detection, and compliance monitoring can provide efficient and faster responses and support repurposing domain experts’ labor to more meaningful tasks. Developing AI models is not just about having models

The following post is based on a talk discussing the benefits of programmatic labeling for trustworthy AI, which was presented as part of the Trustworthy AI: A Practical Roadmap for Government event that took place this past April, with Snorkel AI Co-founder and Head of Technology, Braden Hancock. If you would like to watch Braden’s presentation, we have included it

If you were ever amazed at how Google accurately finds the answer to your question just by a few keywords, you’ve witnessed the power of named entity recognition (NER). By quickly and accurately identifying different entities in a sea of unstructured articles, like names of people, places, and organizations, the search engine can figure out each article’s main topics and

Gregory Ihrie is the Chief Technology Officer for the FBI, responsible for technology, innovation, and strategy. He also leads the FBI’s efforts in advancing the bureau’s management, policy, and governance of AI systems. Ihrie chairs the FBI’s Scientific Working Group on Artificial Intelligence, as well as the Department of Justice’s AI Committee of Interest. He is one of three officers

Programmatic labeling Use cases 1. What is a labeling function? A Labeling Function (LF) is an arbitrary function that takes in a data point and outputs a proposed label or abstains. The logic used to

We’re currently experiencing such a rapid AI revolution and adoption of technologies, ranging from autonomous cars to virtual assistants and robotic surgeries and so much more, making it challenging for our government agencies to keep up. Especially when adding AI technologies to the mix, it can be even harder to manage.The crucial adoption of trustworthy AI and its successful integration

The founding team of Snorkel AI has spent over half a decade—first at the Stanford AI Lab and now at Snorkel AI—researching weak supervision (WS) and other techniques for breaking through the biggest bottleneck in AI: the lack of labeled training data. This research has resulted in the Snorkel research project and 150+ peer-reviewed publications. Snorkel’s technology which applies weak
