week 150 – Intermediate

In real-world contracts, headers often carry subtle variations: numbering, punctuation, or word orderbut they refer to the same section. Your mission: unify these headers across multiple companies using AI-powered similarity and canonicalization, so downstream comparisons all speak the same language.

What you’ll do this week

Write a Snowflake SQL pipeline that discovers “almost duplicates” among section headers using AI_SIMILARITY, then clusters them into stable groups.
For each group, use AI_COMPLETE to choose one crisp canonical header (3–5 words, no numbering or punctuation).
Map every original header in your dataset to its normalized label.
Run diagnostics: show how many unique raw headers existed vs how many normalized header groups you produced, and present a few examples where messy variants collapse cleanly.
All of this should run hands-off—no external tools, just Snowpark-native AI in Snowflake.
