Airline Client Achieves Data Efficiency with GenAI Solution

Introduction

Imagine the buzz of an airport terminal, the constant flow of passengers and flights. Now picture the hidden data within every single airline ticket – a potential treasure trove of insights that often remains locked away due to messy formats and sheer volume. That's where NeoSOFT steps in. We recently partnered with a leading industry player to revolutionize their airline ticket data management. This case study delves into our innovative approach powered by Google Cloud's Vertex AI, cutting-edge techniques, and the resulting business transformation.

Vertex AI, LLMs, and the Cloud

• Vertex AI: Simplifies and accelerates the process of building and deploying custom machine learning models.
• LLMs (Large Language Models): Advanced AI models capable of generating text, translating languages, answering questions, and much more.
• GCP Cloud: Provides on-demand access to scalable computing resources and tools, essential for handling large datasets and complex models.

The Challenge: Untamed Ticket Data

Our client struggled with the volume and variety of their airline ticket data. Manual extraction of passenger details, flight schedules, and trip information was slow, error-prone, and hindered their ability to make data-driven decisions.

The Solution: A Vertex AI and LLM Powerhouse

Our AI experts helped the client to build a scalable, intelligent solution tailored to their needs:

• Cloud Backbone: Google Cloud Platform (GCP): GCP provides flexible compute instances (GPUs, TPUs) and robust storage solutions for handling large datasets and training complex models.
• Core Engine: Vertex AI: We explored both CNN-based and Transformer-based architectures for accurate data extraction, choosing the optimal approach for different ticket layouts.
• Document AI Integration: For handling scanned tickets, further fine-tuning its OCR and layout analysis models on the client's specific formats.
• Data Optimization: Custom algorithms for selective page extraction significantly reduced processing time and costs.
• Rigorous Validation: Built multi-layer validation for top-notch accuracy, including format checks, cross-field validation, and external reference data integration.
• LLM-Based Recommendations: Fine-tuned pre-trained LLMs on the extracted trip data, using advanced prompt engineering to generate personalized travel recommendations.

Technical Implementation: Streamlined Approach & Cost Optimization

• Previous Approach: The client initially used a large number of prompts for data extraction, leading to inefficiencies, complexity, and higher costs.
• Optimized Approach: We significantly reduced the number of prompts (up to 4x reduction) streamlining the extraction process. This led to improved efficiency and direct cost savings.

Results: Data Transformation, Client Success, & Business Outcomes

The Vertex AI-powered system delivered exceptional results:
