Problem the AI is intended to solve

The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) collects and publishes a complete count of work-related fatal injuries and descriptive data on their circumstances. The CFOI Record Matching programs matches records from various sources, including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Information System (OIS) files, news articles, and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), to identify missing or inconsistent data in CFOI.
