Tech talk 2: Unstructured Document Data Extraction at Scale with LLMs: Challenges and Solutions
Unstructured documents present a significant challenge for businesses, particularly those managing them at scale. Traditional Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) systems—let's call them IDP 1.0—rely heavily on machine learning and NLP techniques. These systems require extensive manual annotation, making them time-consuming and less effective as document complexity and variability increase.
The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) is ushering in a new era: IDP 2.0. However, while LLMs offer significant advancements, they also come with their own set of challenges, particularly around accuracy and cost, which can become prohibitive at scale. In this talk, we will look at how Unstract, an open source IDP 2.0 platform purpose-built for structured document data extraction, solves these challenges. Processing over 5 million pages of unstructured documents per month, Unstract uses various techniques to extract structured data with accuracy and cost efficiency, chief among them—the use of vector databases.
Naren H - Co-founder/COO, Unstract
Naren H is the co-founder at Unstract, an open source startup building an LLM-powered platform that extracts data from unstructured documents, helping automate critical business processes. Before Unstract, Naren founded Mediavak, a digital marketing agency, and co-founded Social Animal and Tweeple Search, building tools that made social media analytics and content marketing a breeze. He holds a Master’s in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has a knack for turning data chaos into order — occasionally, he even manages to keep his emails under control.
