One of our clients recently requested a Machine Learning model that can read scans and photos of paper forms and convert the data to a CSV file. The company leases and maintains air conditioning and ventilation devices for numerous clients spread over a large area in Central Europe. In most instances, a staff member travels to a customer site and performs one or more service actions (inspects the machines, performs measurements, replaces liquids, cleans the machines). Sometimes, a faulty device is replaced with a functioning one. After the task is completed, they handwrite a paper form detailing the actions taken.
Unfortunately, the technology will not capture 100% of the hand-written responses at this moment in time. So the machine will still require some help from friendly humans. But with some time and adjustments, it is possible to optimize the results. If your company or organization plans to leverage your paper-based data in the future, here are some recommendations to ensure a smooth transfer. Some of them are non-obvious!
You want to get to the point where there is minimal time between the completion of the paper form and entrance into the database, where the data can be put to work. You want to endure minimal periods of dark data.

In this song, Chris Martin is talking about "the paper", as "the money". The song is basically about telling a girl that she needs to decide between being with him or a wealthier man (if she doesn't choose him, he's not going to take her back once he achieves his goal: "when his later is much greater").
Last year I discovered an amazing source of handmade paper in Lebanon, NH made by retired Vermont papermaker, Richard Langdell. Richard sold the paper making business several years ago but had retained a large stock that he recently decided to sell. I knew almost immediately that I needed to give this paper a new home!
So, on March 12th, my husband, daughter and I drove 2 hours north to Lebanon, rented a 15ft U-haul truck, and filled it to the brim with 13,000+ sheets of handmade paper. We drove our precious cargo to my studio in Lowell, MA and spent the rest of the weekend unloading and organizing.
"['Paper Love' is about] when you find yourself getting into [a romantic situation] that you know will rip you up and you do it anyway," the 31-year-old singer says. "[The term] 'paper love' [means] the kind of love that is too fragile and violent to work but still feels smooth and sexy and sharp and you can't help going forward with it. Like, 'Watch my heart turn to pulp!' It's like knowing [a situation] is going to hurt so good."

I speak as a Nebraskan, a veteran journalist and a former editor of the Omaha World-Herald. For full disclosure, I was laid off last year as World-Herald editor as part of nationwide cost-cutting by the company to which Buffett sold his newspapers.
Peter Kiewit bought the paper in 1962 to ensure that it would continue to be locally owned. Corporate ownership of newspapers was on the rise, and media magnate Samuel Newhouse was interested in The World-Herald. From a revenue standpoint, it was a gem. The paper long boasted the among highest market penetrations in the country, and its circulation in the 1970s, when I spent a summer as a World-Herald intern, reached from Wyoming and Kansas into Iowa and Missouri.
The World-Herald, though, carved its own path, buying several smaller Nebraska and Iowa papers and keeping its afternoon paper until 2016, thought to be the last newspaper in America with both morning and afternoon editions.
It turned out that BH Media, despite the pingpong table outside the newsroom entry, was not immune to forces shriveling the industry. Google and Facebook have captured tens of billions in ad revenue that used to go to newspaper companies. At the same time, those social media platforms and the advent of the smartphone changed how news is delivered.
Highly reliable former World-Herald journalists have told me that a local group tried to put together an offer to buy the newspaper. In addition, the newly formed newsroom union proposed to Buffett creating a trust and taking The World-Herald nonprofit, as Paul Huntsman did with the Salt Lake Tribune, a closely watched model for the future of legacy media brands.
When on the hunt for the perfect planner since freshman year of college, I ran through the aisles of every major department store and even browsed online for hours, spending thousands of dollars for the past 4 years. One journal, notebook, and planner after another, none fit my minimal aesthetic or needs. I knew it was my journey to go down this paper trail.
