Development of Web Scrapers Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Automate U.S. and Canadian Data Extraction Processes
FY 2021-22 · 2021-08-02
Summary
Through this project, we will further integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into our processes through the development of automated web scrapers, alongside the use of bots, to capture the available Canadian and U.S. funding-related data in a less manual way, while building out the capabilities of our database to uncover and maintain government funding data in a way that improves our ability to service our clients well while expanding our operations into more Canadian markets and enter the United States. To achieve these goals, we will hire an experienced Data Engineer and Information Analyst, bolstering the expertise of our existing data and software teams.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet, nous intégrerons davantage l'intelligence artificielle (IA) et l'apprentissage machine (AM) dans nos procédés par le biais du développement de racleurs Web automatisés, parallèlement à l'utilisation de robots, afin de saisir les données disponibles sur le financement canadien et américain d'une manière moins manuelle. Nous développerons les capacités de notre base de données afin de découvrir et de maintenir les données sur le financement gouvernemental, et ce, d'une manière qui améliore notre aptitude à bien servir nos clients tout en étendant nos activités à d'autres marchés canadiens et en entrant aux États-Unis. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, nous embaucherons un ingénieur en données et un analyste de l'information expérimentés, ce qui renforcera l'expertise de nos équipes de données et de logiciels existantes.
