Risk Assessment Financial Annotation for Global Financial Firm
A global financial services firm required the annotation of technical financial documents to train its AI platform to conduct risk assessments for investment portfolios.
Global Financial Services Firm Builds AI Capability for Risk Assessment
Goal:
Global financial services firm required the annotation of technical financial documents to train its AI platform to conduct risk assessments for investment portfolios.
Innodata's Solution:
Innodata's subject matter experts created a taxonomy focused on model-relevant risk categories and risk stages. To bolster speed and ensure high-quality annotations throughout the articles, Innodata employed a combination of humans-in-the-loop and ML-enhanced technology. The articles were first run through Innodata's proprietary text annotation platform, which completed an auto annotation. Then experts did a round of annotations to ensure accuracy and reviewed any low confidence annotations. Finally, our quality assurance specialist reviewed and resolved any discrepancies. The platform and annotators labeled the risks associated with events, named individuals, and named companies within each article. They then identified risks within each article and assigned a risk category and level based on the agreed-upon taxonomy.
Result:
The leading global financial services company's risk assessment platform received a large annotated dataset of the highest quality based on thousands of relevant articles. This pristine data, along with the risk taxonomy provided, helped train and improve the model performance.

Multilingual Text Annotation for Leading Booking Engine Chatbot
A leading travel aggregator and booking engine required highly accurate annotated datasets for a booking assistant bot that operates in multiple languages.
Travel Aggregator Deploys AI Booking Assistant Chatbot
Goal:
Leading travel aggregator and booking engine required highly accurate datasets for a booking assistant bot that operates in multiple languages.
Innodata's Solution:
To reach the seamless performance expected by the travel aggregator and its customers, the chatbot needed to be trained for many utterances per intent in English, Chinese, and French. To achieve this, the Innodata team annotated incoming chatbot messages for any mention of specific hotels, occurrences of locations (including cities, regions, districts, and addresses), and categorized the intent of the utterances based on their subjective interpretation of the message. This process of annotating utterances and assigning labels from a taxonomy allowed the chatbot to understand customer intent from incoming messaging and provide relevant and accurate responses. To ensure the accuracy and quality of the annotations, the Innodata team utilized a double-blind pass process, in which two different annotators provide annotations and an adjudicator provides a judgement on any discrepancies between the annotations.
Result:
The travel aggregator received highly accurate annotated and labeled datasets which enabled the booking assistant AI chatbot to appropriately respond to customer messages and inquiries with relevant information in multiple languages improving the net promoter score.

Annotation for Life Science Data Provider’s Drug Search & Discovery

Life Science Data Provider Acquires Right Annotated Data for Drug Search & Discovery
Goal:
A leading abstract and indexing scientific research discovery solution required annotated data to enhance its platform to enable predictive and prescriptive analytics for drug discovery and research funding.
Innodata's Solution:
To begin the process of creating high-quality labeled scientific datasets, Innodata's annotation experts set up their platform to automate the process of entity extraction to pull out relevant keywords and references from the source documents. Innodata's experts then annotated millions of pages of scientific data, research, and articles. They created structured XML datasets that could be used to train the AI platform in predictive and prescriptive analytics.
Result:
With these datasets, the research discovery solution was able to provide more insight and give its users actionable intelligence. This intelligence is then used by the customer to research fund attribution, drive investments of new drug development, and avoid patent infringement.
