Groundsource is an AI-driven technique designed to precisely extract factual data from unstructured text. It was instrumental in building a dataset of historical flash flood events by analyzing news reports, enabling the training of new predictive models.
By leveraging AI to process and validate information from various unstructured sources, Groundsource can create reliable datasets that overcome the limitations of missing traditional ground truth data.
