@LewisCTech I really need to keep it updated in another life where I'm not running a startup! 😂

🤖 Efficient Document Data Extraction with LLMs & Vector Databases

Extracting structured data from unstructured documents is often tedious with traditional tools. @GetUnstract, using LLMs alongside Timescale Cloud, automates this process, removing the need for manual annotations.

With Timescale’s pgvector and AI extensions, token costs are reduced significantly, making complex document extraction more efficient—even for lengthy files.

💡 Start exploring how Timescale Cloud can simplify structured data extraction from unstructured documents.

Unstract structures documents for you. Sounds simple, but think about how many human jobs consist mostly of processing documents

GPT-4o is bad at processing PDF documents.

Whoever tells you otherwise is not living in the real world. In 2024, people fill out forms using pen and paper. Try to answer questions from those forms using modern models, and you'll be disappointed.

I recorded a video to show you how to fix this.

The answer is simple: stop letting the model see your PDF document. Instead, preprocess it and stick to showing the model text.

Watch the video. You'll go from "THIS IS CRAP" to "EXCELLENT" in no time.

I'm using @GetUnstract to turn the documents into text while keeping the original format (this is crucial!) You can use them to process up to 100 pages for free. They collaborated with me on this post.

You can find the code I wrote right here:

📄 PDFs are tough to process. Unfortunately, it's a widely prevalent format and businesses have to deal with PDFs all the time. So what are those challenges and some libraries & services for PDF processing?

@pramode_ce @SubinSiby More like "Debian for human beings" lol. But honestly, it was probably Debian for desktops. It's become the default go-to distro for newcomers and that's no easy achievement. I probably hoarded more CDs than I could ever hope to distribute. But there was always bandwidth anxiety

You'd think every computer should be able to divide two numbers, but early microprocessors didn't have division instructions. The Intel 8086 (1978) was one of the first with division. Let's look at how it implemented division and why division is so hard.
