IBS Software Develops Bilingual NER with Amazon Bedrock for Cargo Logistics
Key points
- IBS Software processes thousands of bilingual cargo emails daily.
- System extracts 23 entity types from English and Japanese texts.
- Achieved 95.085% accuracy and reduced costs by 14x with Amazon Bedrock.
Bilingual NER for Cargo Logistics
IBS Software's Cargo system handles thousands of bilingual email messages daily, essential for processing logistics data.
These messages require the extraction of various key information, including air waybill numbers, flight details, and weights, in both English and Japanese.
Challenges in Building NER Solution
Building a robust Named Entity Recognition (NER) solution presented several challenges, primarily the need for accurate entity extraction in two languages while keeping costs manageable.
The complexity was increased due to manual interventions that slowed operational efficiency and a necessary trade-off between accuracy and cost.
Utilization of Amazon Bedrock
IBS Software opted for Amazon Bedrock’s managed distillation capabilities to develop their NER solution.
By distilling knowledge from the Amazon Nova Pro into a more efficient Nova Lite model, they achieved an F1-Score accuracy of 95.085% and reduced operational costs by 14 times compared to previous implementations.
Technical Approach and Outcomes
This project focused on extracting 23 different entity types vital in cargo logistics, addressing high accuracy and low latency requirements for real-time processing.
The successful deployment on AWS has allowed IBS Software to significantly improve operational efficiency in processing bilingual cargo logistics emails.
