Automated Data Extraction and Processing System ⚙️
Project Overview 📖
This project focuses on the automation of unstructured data processing pipelines using artificial intelligence and workflow orchestration. It was conducted as part of my supervision with my intern in Data Engineering and Decision Systems.
The system ingests heterogeneous raw data sources, applies AI/NLP models for information extraction, runs automated validation checks, and continuously feeds structured outputs into real-time dashboards. This ensures a scalable, reliable, and low-latency pipeline, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention.
Objectives 🎯
- Automate the ingestion and transformation of large-scale unstructured datasets.
- Apply AI-based extraction models to parse and structure key information.
- Ensure data reliability through automated quality control mechanisms.
- Deploy pipelines using scalable and reproducible technologies.
- Provide interactive visualization through continuously updated dashboards.
