Case Study: Global Consulting Firm eliminates a year of labeling time with Snorkel AI

Consulting giant eliminates a year of labeling time with Snorkel

Global Consulting Firm, a global big four consulting company, wanted to use AI to improve audit relevance and help its worldwide auditing team surface the most relevant news and regulatory information faster. The challenge was creating enough high-quality training data for custom NLP models, since manual labeling was slow, expensive, and difficult to adapt as business needs changed.

Snorkel AI used its programmatic labeling technology and annotation suite to help the firm rapidly build an NLP application that classified relevant news articles and extracted useful client information. In just a few days, Snorkel AI enabled the team to label over 10,000 articles in hours, improve model F1 from 70 to 85, and achieve a 14-point higher F1 score than hand labeling, while speeding app development 3x and reducing SME time by 50%.
