Document Understanding™ 2024.10 LTS Release

What's new

Active Learning in Document Understanding™

We are excited to announce that Document Understanding Active Learning is now available in Automation Suite. With this new interface and experience, model training is significantly improved by leveraging AI to guide you through the process with automatic annotation and recommendations on how to improve your model accuracy with the most informative examples.

The new experience is organized into four components:

• Build: Get your documents automatically classified and annotated, then follow the recommendations to achieve the highest model accuracy with active learning.
• Measure: Measure your model performance and get further guidance on how to improve it with the most efficient model training.
• Publish: Publish the projects and consume them in RPA or API automations.
• Monitor: Monitor the performance of your automations and easily drill down into fine-grained document level audit.

Document Understanding REST APIs

You can now use Document Understanding REST APIs as an alternative to the RPA approach. Through our API, you can:

• Find out information about the project, extractors, or classifiers used within the project.
• Use the digitization APIs.
• Classify documents using specialized models.
• Extract document data using specialized models.
• Validate information that was previously digitized, classified, or extracted.

For more information, check the Document Understanding API Guide.
