Technology Solutions

There are several advantages to integrating machine learning into our processes. Our computer models achieve higher accuracy rates than traditional manual processes. These processes also improve scalability and can handle volume fluctuations more easily than traditional manual counterparts. All of this delivers consistent performance, accuracy, and efficiency.

Areas where Machine Learning is being used

Technology Solutions

Mail Processing

Machine Learning allows Smart Data Solutions’ mailroom staff to avoid the time-consuming work of manually sorting incoming mail by form and type. This process allows any staffer to quickly prepare and scan inbound mail, leaving the sorting to our automated systems. This automation improves both overall processing time and accuracy.

Technology Solutions

Correspondence Identification

Different types of correspondence need to be routed to appropriate departments or individuals, and some categories, such as appeals and legal documents, need to be processed with a higher priority than others. Our technology “learns” your correspondence mix, and can quickly and automatically identify the category, priority, and destination of thousands of documents in just minutes.

Technology Solutions

Data Capture

Normally, data fields captured with low confidence by traditional OCR engines need to be manually reviewed or keyed by a human. With our machine models we can drive down the number of fields requiring manual intervention, which provides continuous improvement in data capture accuracy and throughput.

Machine Learning Integration

While machine learning can be integrated into a number of different processes, the path to integration is similar across the board. Initially using a corpus of known materials, the machine-driven processes record these pilot examples. From there the models use the data to provide suggestions to human processors who make the final determinations. The machines learn from these user selections and over time the processes reach sufficient confidence and accuracy to perform the process themselves, automating certain cases. The final step comes with the machine models taking on the bulk of the work in an automated fashion only allowing the rare edge cases and the routine audit level of documents to post for human review.
