Predicting product returns with AI

Why are product returns a problem? Large businesses like Amazon can swallow the cost of product returns, and generally account for it, but if you’re running a small business a single return can be very expensive. However, product returns can be a major problem for small and large businesses and it is helpful to identify when this is likely to occur.

How can we turn unstructured data into structured data with generative AI?

Many companies and organisations have large datasets that are stored in a very unstructured format. For example, you could work for a US based healthcare provider or insurer and have patient records stored in a free text format such as HL7 files or PDFs. A building regulator, land registry, or mortgage provider may have texts and accompanying diagrams from thousands of building inspections or land title deeds. A patent attorney’s office may have records of patent applications in PDF format.
