Generative AI Solutions for a Leading Information Publisher

  • Innodata Case Study Challenge Icon Challenge

A major information publisher sought to deploy Generative AI within their legal and regulatory operational processes. The goal was to achieve scalability across 13 European countries and multiple languages while maximizing efficiency.

  • Innodata Case Study Solution Icon Solution

Innodata collaborated with the client to offer specialized consulting and implementation services. The process began with a vision workshop designed to educate stakeholders and identify potential opportunities for AI integration. Two areas were selected for initial 3-month Proofs of Concept (POCs):

Abstract Creation from German Court Cases: Using Generative AI to automate the generation of case summaries. 

Keyword Extraction and Taxonomy Matching for Dutch Labor Law Books: Employing AI to identify relevant keywords and match them to an established taxonomy.

Innodata engaged closely with key stakeholders to establish review and evaluation criteria for each POC. The implementations utilized advanced AI techniques including:

Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT): Leveraged for natural language understanding and generation. 

Chain of Density: Applied to ensure coherence and relevance in generated content. 

Prompt Engineering: Used to optimize AI responses. 

Fine-Tuning: Customized the model on specific legal data to enhance performance. 

Vector Database with Similarity Matching: Employed to ensure accurate keyword extraction and taxonomy alignment. 

  • Innodata Case Study Impact Icon Impact

Innodata demonstrated that Generative AI could enhance processes traditionally reliant on human expertise in language and legal fields. The results underwent a rigorous double-blind review process and were benchmarked against industry standards.

German Abstracts: Of the abstracts generated by GPT, 44% were rated favorably and deemed publishable without modification. In comparison, manually generated abstracts had a 58% approval rate, supporting the efficacy and subjective consistency of the GPT-generated content. 

Dutch Keywords: The GPT system achieved a 25% exact match rate with manually tagged keywords. For reference, a comparison between two human taggers resulted in a 22% exact match, indicating that the GPT solution performs comparably to the existing manual process. 

Both POCs will be further developed for production and scaled across countries based on business needs and priorities. Innodata has also proposed and will facilitate change management strategies to support the program's expansion. Additionally, new opportunities have been identified and transitioned into the POC phase for expedited evaluation.
