Rewriting History: How AI Made Sense of Historical Data

 Most customers complain about the amount of data their business collects. To gain a better understanding of the data, you need to wrap it all around a tighter framework and utilise data analytics consulting services.

When working with a government agency, we came across a case where the agency was holding onto old documents that had historical importance and value. However, they didn't have the capacity to interpret the data. Sitting on a huge repository of historical data, the researchers were not able to identify patterns in the documents and make sense of the decisions that affected the laws of the day they were written.

AI Used to Uncover History

The challenge was also that the documents were written in different styles, subject matter and hand-writing styles. To extract the most out of the data, NovaWorks built custom handwriting recognition models that can analyse the old English terms and styles. These models were then translated to the language of today using data analytics consulting services.

There are Many Uses in Business for Data Analytics Consulting Services

Before the 1900s, most documents were written using pen and paper. Today, with the advent of digital technology and data analytics consulting services, companies can now store and retrieve historical data on their own.

Beyond this, technology can also allow businesses to digitally transform the data collected on paper forms into something more productive. This would allow digitisation to be more error-free compared to pen and paper collection methods. This process could be used on new forms, reports and studies.

This technology is also being widely used in industries that deal with large amounts of data. For instance, legal firms and healthcare providers could benefit from the ability to store and retrieve large amounts of data.

What is Next?

Beyond just storing and retrieving data, machine learning technology can also be used to develop algorithms that can extract meaningful insights from large amounts of data from insurance, medical and health insurance companies.

One customer was able to use AI to identify the most favourable locations for hiring staff. The company then used this information to improve its target job ads. AI-powered content creation tools like Jarvis.ai can produce high-quality content for various platforms such as social media posts, blogs and creative stories. This makes copywriting more accessible.
