About ML Packages
Using a Document Understanding ML Package involves these steps:
- Collecting document samples and the requirements of the data points that need to be extracted.
- Labeling documents using Document Manager.
Document Manager itself connects to an OCR Service. - Downloading or exporting labeled documents as a Training dataset and uploading the exported folder to AI Center Storage.
- Running a Training Pipeline on AI Center.
- Deploying the trained model as an ML Skill in AI Center.
- Querying the ML Skill from an RPA workflow using the UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.ML activity package.
Note:
Remember that using Document Understanding ML Packages requires that the machine on which AI Center is installed can access https://du-metering.uipath.com.
Warning:
When creating a UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.ML.Activities Package in AI Center, the package name should not be any python reserved keyword, such as
class
,break
,from
,finally
,global
,None
, etc. Note that this list is not exhaustive since the package name is used forclass <pkg-name>
andimport <pkg-name>
.
These are out-of-the-box Machine Learning Models to classify and extract any commonly occurring data points from semi-structured or unstructured documents, including regular fields, table columns, and classification fields, in a template-less approach.

Note:
Out-of-the-box Machine Learning Packages that are delivered by UiPath have version 0 and are already available on your tenant, meaning that there is no need to download them.
Download is available only for versions 1 or higher, that were already trained by you.
Types of ML Packages
