Chapter 9. Leveraging Unstructured Data with AI

In the previous chapters, we used AI quite a lot with structured data, or as most people call it, tables. However, a lot of data in businesses is not actually stored in clean tables, but comes in a plethora of formats such as PDFs, images, raw text, websites, and emails. When you consider these formats, the majority of data available within organizations is unstructured. With AI, we can unlock these treasure troves and get insights from data that has hardly been touched before by analysts or data that otherwise needs a lot of manual effort before anyone can get insights from it. In this chapter, we’ll explore how AI can help us analyze texts, documents, and image files.

In this use case, we are going to deploy an AI service that will help us make sense of this data. In the concrete problem at hand, we are going to analyze user reviews at scale and communicate key insights through a BI dashboard. Let’s go!
