Helping Almirall in their question answering (QA) on medical papers 

In the pharmaceutical industry, reviewing medical papers and extracting relevant information is a time-consuming task that can lead to human errors. NTT DATA, using Azure OpenAI Service, rapidly developed a question-answering and semantic search engine for Almirall. The solution automates information extraction, answers questions, and populates a spreadsheet with necessary data. By pre-processing, indexing, and retrieving information from real-world evidence papers, the search engine enables users to retrieve information quickly and accurately by asking scientific questions. Model responses have an accuracy rate of over 90% in providing answers, Almirall can streamline research, positioning themselves as a more mature and advanced industry player.
