Loss Triangles from pdf #10

Open ryanbthomas opened 5 years ago

ryanbthomas commented 5 years ago

Create tool (website?) that leverages google and/or microsoft's OCR API to extract loss triangle data out of pdfs. A tool to extract data from loss runs would also be useful, but the geometry of loss runs seen in the wild are much more varied.

What are the use cases for this? I remember having to pick numbers out from Schedule F's and whatnot for SAOs but most of the time you can get loss data from a database or Excel?

I think the primary user of this would be consultants/brokers. It's quite common to get data as a pdf (e.g., actuarial report which was done for the client by third party).
