Overview
The work prototyped an AI-driven pipeline that converted scanned pharmaceutical PDFs into machine-readable outputs. Deliverables included Colab notebooks for data cleaning and image preprocessing, PyMuPDF word-level extracts with bounding boxes and accuracy notes, LLM tokenization documentation, a comparative OCR analysis that favored PaddleOCR for layout preservation, and a working RAG pipeline
What I've accomplished
I produced runnable Colab notebooks and analyses: LLM tokenization documentation, cleaned structured data and preprocessed images, PyMuPDF word-level extracts with bounding boxes and validation recommendations, a comparative OCR analysis identifying PaddleOCR as best at preserving layout, and a working RAG pipeline with hybrid retrieval.
Project breakdown
The submission explained LLM tokenization and probability-based token selection, described how models were trained on large datasets, and used ChatGPT and Grok as examples to illustrate how responses are generated.
I worked in Google Colab to clean structured data with Pandas, fix encoding and text formatting, and preprocess scanned images with OpenCV and PIL. The submission showed cleaned text files, converted numeric types, and a processed image ready for OCR.
I processed multi-page SDFs with PyMuPDF to extract word-level text and bounding boxes, evaluated overall accuracy, noted challenges reconstructing tables and lines, and recommended regex validation and label-based grouping to improve date and field extraction.
I evaluated Tesseract, EasyOCR, and PaddleOCR on a scanned pharmaceutical certificate, ran preprocessing, compared outputs for key-value pairs, tables, and noise resistance, and produced a comparative analysis showing PaddleOCR preserved layout and key-value structure best.
During the externship I built and optimized a RAG pipeline. I chunked documents (512 token chunks, 50 overlap), used all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embeddings, and implemented hybrid retrieval (vector search plus BM25). The system returned concise, document-grounded answers to sample prompts.
