What is Unstructured Data?

Unstructured data is data that does not conform to a specific data model or schema. Unlike structured data, which is organized into tables and follows a defined format, unstructured data lacks a predefined structure, making it more challenging to analyze using traditional database techniques. Examples of unstructured data include text documents, images, videos, social media posts, and email messages. Natural language processing and machine learning techniques are often used to extract insights from unstructured data.
