Problem the AI is intended to solve
The Occupational Requirements Survey (ORS) collects and publishes information about specific work-related requirements. Every year, thousands of collected data must be reviewed manually by human staff. The ORS Autocoder, on a regular basis, autocodes and clears certain edit flags from records which it deems to be good, allowing human staff to focus on reviewing data that are more likely to be incorrect.
