NLP Updates
~~~~~~~~~~

| Numeric values performing well with regular expressions
| i.e. puffs per device, e-liquid contents, price, etc.
| Working on TFN/synthetic, nicotine-free, CBD/THC
| Less success when testing with new data
| Nicotine salts/freebase not being auto id'd as TFN
| Multiple nicotine values not being picked up
| Currently working on testing LLMs with fine-tuning
| Screens will be next pass


Image Processing Updates
~~~~~~~~~~

Image Processing
~~~~~~~~~~

| Have initial pass at "iced" and "screen"
| Going to test with additional data
| Seeing possibilities of distinguishing screen model
| Seeing if possible to improve performance and speed
| Working with a pre-existing trained model to find images of vapes (to
  filter out non-vapes, parts etc.) to filter down data set


Iced
