Intelligent Document Processing  (English, Paperback, Lahiru Fernando)

Document processing is a topic that has gained much traction for many years due to its complexity and manual effort. Many document management systems got introduced to simplify document management. At the same time, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) evolved at a rapid pace connecting with state-of-the-art technologies such as Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the ways humans communicate. The technology used for AI, ML, and NLP enabled the world to build models that can learn by themselves and use their intelligence to understand the content of any given document. Today, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and RPA work together to automate most document-related activities, freeing up users to focus on more critical tasks. Intelligent Document Processing: A Guide for Building RPA Solutions is a mini-guide that gives the readers insights on methods to achieve the best out of Intelligent Document Understanding solutions built within RPA workflows. Further, the mini-book provides real-world use cases, technical challenges, best practices, industry trends, links to many external research articles, and detailed discussions focussing on building effective and scalable RPA solutions to process documents intelligently. The book also contains the author's personal experiences on multiple intelligent document automation projects. This mini-book should be seen as an overview of the current state of technology, with practical guidance and solutions. Best used as a reference guide to help you with your “Optical AI” initiatives.
