Problem Statement
Problem Statement: Multifidelity drug discovery often involves a larger dataset of low fidelity screening data and a smaller set of computationally expensive
high fidelity confirmatory data, presenting a challenge in leveraging the available information effectively.
Artificial intelligence can address this challenge by developing models that utilize machine learning techniques to extend the applicability of computationally
expensive Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) methods, enabling accurate predictions and reducing the computational burden in multifidelity drug screening.
Use Case
Product design can involve manually intensive design creation. Enabled by AI, however, the entire process can be completed more efficiently, enabling it to
react faster to market trends, improve creativity, and lead to a better design experience.

employee experience by reducing time spent sifting through documentation L2: Built as a Prototype
L1: Proof of concept
Problem Statement
A large American utility relied on a legacy knowledge management (KM) system to store standards documentation. This system lacked both consistent indexing and an
effective search capability. Clients initial attempts to roll out new KM capabilities failed due to complexity of the content and the common search problems of
synonyms and polysemy (words with multiple meanings).
To remain cost-effective, EY had to develop a solution that could search the documents without relying on indexes.

Palm Oil Producer
A palm oil producer is heavily reliant on crude palm oil (CPO) as the base material, which in turn is used to create by-products such as palm oil or
margarine
Problem The market demand for both CPO and the refined by products is volatile from both commodity trading and customer consumption perspectives
The client was producing either far above or far below demand entangling in a vicious circle alternating liquidity loss due to acquisition of excess
inventories and unmet demand losing competitiveness
The client needed a capability to effectively plan production and forecast sales. This insight enables them to more effectively manage production
cycles and respond quickly to product volatility and inventory to deliver the best outcome for the customer
Solution
The EY DnA team has built an integrated data platform which gathers operations systems data and applies machine learning to simulate production
and recommend production improvements to better meet demand

x Case example: Demand Forecasting - Port Logistics Operator USE CASE | ILLUSTRATIVE
Port Logistics Operator
Logistics present an overwhelming challenge for one of the world’s largest port operators. Nearly 100 vessels move in and out every day, each
carrying up to 20,000 20-foot containers, requiring giant trucks, cranes and workers with diverse skills to service them. Any miscalculation in a
Challenge vessel’s arrival time has the potential to create significant delays for the port. When this takes place, vessels are left without somewhere to dock,
workers wait without a job to perform, and machinery gets bottlenecked
Helping the client develop an approach to accurately predict vessel movement and from there, better allocate people and machinery was the remit
Using AI machine learning and new data sources, EY helped develop three live solutions with more than 20 AI models built and integrated to
predict: vessel arrival 14 days out, resources the port would need to meet demand, and potential machinery choke points in the yard
The team used extensive historical databases to inform the machine learning model with variables such as tidal patterns, vessel sizes and past
Solution variations in arrival times from different shipping lines. By incorporating this historical data with satellite navigation and each vessel’s declared arrival
time, the vessel movement model proved to be materially more accurate than the port operator’s previous system
More precise arrival times subsequently allowed for more accurate workforce planning; which, in turn, better highlighted potential choke points and
allowed for real-time suggestions for faster driving routes through the yard so that machinery was where it needed to be at the right time
Together, these three automated AI solutions significantly increased the port’s efficiency and helped to deliver substantial cost savings. The
automated AI solution for vessel movement alone increased accuracy by 3% which translated to approximately US$10.2 million in savings in the near
Realized term
business impact
In addition to this macro impact for the client, better predictions have meant that workers on the ground now have more predictable work hours, with
little down-time during a shift and reduced over-time due to unexpected vessel delays

thousands of pages across multiple different types of documents and formats (e.g. payslips, tax returns, and bank statements as photocopies,
PDFs, images, etc) These are income and expense documents, with each application taking several hours to verify, resulting in significant

AI-automated patient questionnaire processing and cloud load
The key challenge of one of Australia’s biggest hospitals is managing large volumes of manual patient questionnaire processing that come through
and the ability to process them in a timely manner so the outputs can be used to drive effective decision making
Challenge At peak times, 100+ people are solely responsible for taking hard copy questionnaires and lab documents from the infectious disease agency and
entering that data into an online system. The lack of a digital workflow is inefficient, locks critical resources to data entry tasks, processing that is
prone to human error and requires people to work on site, causing health and safety risks
EY teams designed a new workflow that digitizes hard copy documents and processes them using machine learning, AI-driven optical character
recognition (OCR) that converts documents, extracts the information within it and loads the data into the system
Solution A new system has been built to support the new workflow, which conforms to the strict data privacy, information security and auditing policies. The

x Case example: Reconciliation process for Investment Bank USE CASE | ILLUSTRATIVE
Machine learning reconciliation for an investment bank
The client’s reconciliation process was proving insufficient with the existing rules-based system and, as a result, a large operations team was manually
processing breaks. Key challenges included:
A high number of breaks daily that could not be effectively managed manually
Problem
The existing reconciliation tool was unable to manage multiple matches (i.e. consolidated entries)
No prioritization or closest match provided by the rules-based reconciliations tool
Significant FTE effort spent each day to find matches that could be spent on higher value work
The EY DnA team built a machine learning model which has improved the reconciliations process by providing recommended matches to the
operations team on a day-to-day basis
Solution The new model was designed to be more flexible in handling breaks and make recommendations for subsequent human action, accelerating the
overall process as a cognitive aid
The intention is to productionise the model to enhance the existing rules-based system that had proved to be insufficient
The ML model is expected to find matches up to 50% quicker than the previous manual process, as well as to provide a prioritization to further
accelerate the matching process. We saw a 60% match rate on all complete matches for a given day
This will significantly reduce the FTE effort spent each day on manually identifying matches. The prioritization of cases will also allow the team to
Realized provide more accurate figures to senior management on the true number of remaining breaks

The EY DnA team assisted the financial service provider to manage consumer mortgage risk by identifying cross-sell opportunities and help drive
targeted retention initiatives for customers with high propensity to disengage. Data science models generate the propensity of the customers to
default allowing the client to drive targeted intervention
Solution
The team supports the cloud-based solution to ingest data from the client’s ERP, run the statistical models and generates the output models for
downstream consumption on a daily basis. The solution components include data science models to predict customer churn, cross sell and upsell
potential and the maintenance of data security and integrity

Australia’s National Unexploded Ordnance Program (NUXOP) is responsible for identifying, managing and remediating unexploded ordnance (UXO)
that poses a risk to public safety
Problem However, accurately identifying the location of contaminated sites is a major challenge for managing the risk of UXO
There is a need for more efficient methods of identifying the location of potential UXO to enable the safe and effective management of UXO on
Defence estates and to comply with Commonwealth Policy
EY's team worked closely with client subject matter resources to develop a customized solution to address the special characteristics (including activity
status and vegetation coverage) of each site in scope for potential UXO identification, using a combination of optical satellite imagery and secondary
open-source data. The solution included the following key components:
Solution Image processing: Analysing and manipulating various spectral bands to enhance visual signals of crater-like features
Machine learning: Separating crater-like features from the background when there is a clear visibility of the ground surface
Image segmentation and classification: Identifying areas of interest (AOI) for further investigation based on identifiable features
GIS suitability analysis: Applying a ranking and scoring system to a number of GIS features to detect high-interest areas for UXO
The identification of areas of interest in scoped sites for further investigation of potential UXO, which can help to reduce the risk to public safety

x Case example: Accounting and Reporting automation – Fixed Asset Cost and Capitalization USE CASE | ILLUSTRATIVE
Fixed Asset Cost and Capitalization Reporting Automation
The management of the client’s fixed assets capitalisation procedures and registers was highly manual and prone to mistakes, resulting in a high
level of financial risk but at the same time was draining resources that could be deployed elsewhere
The client required a robust, technology enabled system that analysed their cost and made tax and accounting determinations without manual
Challenge
intervention but was also able to produce accurate and transparent results
They also sought a platform that could easily produce relevant reports that could be utilised for budgeting and financial management purposes such
as dashboards that reported on the asset base, forecasting and predictive modelling of their portfolio
The EY Elementary Delivery Team’s asset register operates in a secure web and cloud-based environment, allowing the relevant members of the
client’s Finance team to securely connect to both the EYE register and AI Centre platforms using various devices. Users can generate various tax
and accounting depreciation reports at any time, including the forecasting of future depreciation which can be used for budgeting and
management purposes
Solution The platform also provides the client with various fixed asset reporting and analytics dashboard capabilities
The classification of capitalised costs was reviewed by the Elementary AI Centre module which applies machine learning and EY industry
knowledge processes. The solution’s key components are: SAP processed descriptions, invoices and purchase orders for all sample assets,
recognition of expenditure type, correct allocation of cost attributes concerning depreciation methods and relevant invoice documentation and
automatic cloud upload
EY successfully delivered the automation of fixed assets’ cost determination and capitalisation processes, the visualisation of its asset base and
