## Definition

**Unstructured data** is data that does not fit a rigid, pre-defined quantitative format — the kind of material that recent AI tools became notably more powerful and more accessible at handling, as described in the channel's material on Walleye Capital's AI adoption.

In the captured material, **unstructured data** appears when Walleye Capital CEO Will England describes why AI tools have recently become more powerful and more usable by non-technical people — the shift is particularly visible *on unstructured data* [^ce54c6b1-f86c-585c-9ea5-c9c003bd9d2d@244]. The term stands in contrast to the firm's long-standing reliance on **advanced statistics** in pure quant trading, which works with more traditional, quantitative data [^ce54c6b1-f86c-585c-9ea5-c9c003bd9d2d@223].The channel presents unstructured data as the frontier where modern AI unlocks new value for a hedge fund: making these tools *more accessible to non-technical people* on unstructured data is what triggered Walleye's broader AI push, from the March 2023 GPT-3 demo to the internal **Current** project [^ce54c6b1-f86c-585c-9ea5-c9c003bd9d2d@244] [^ce54c6b1-f86c-585c-9ea5-c9c003bd9d2d@400].- **Unstructured data** is the category where recent AI tools became dramatically more capable and accessible to non-technical users. - It contrasts with the quantitative data behind Walleye's years of **pure quant trading** and advanced statistics. - This accessibility shift on unstructured data is what convinced leadership that AI was *“absolutely where we're going.”*
