You are building a knowledge mining solution to extract insights from a large set of PDF contracts. The solution must identify parties, dates, and monetary amounts. Which Azure AI service should you use as the primary extraction engine?
Trap 1: Azure AI Language (custom NER)
Custom NER is text-based and misses layout features like tables.
Trap 2: Azure AI Search with integrated vectorization
Azure AI Search is for indexing and search, not primary extraction.
Trap 3: Azure OpenAI Service with GPT-4o
Overkill and higher cost; Document Intelligence is purpose-built.
- A
Azure AI Language (custom NER)
Why it fails: Custom NER is text-based and misses layout features like tables.
- B
Azure AI Search with integrated vectorization
Why it fails: Azure AI Search is for indexing and search, not primary extraction.
- C
Azure OpenAI Service with GPT-4o
Why it fails: Overkill and higher cost; Document Intelligence is purpose-built.
- D
Azure AI Document Intelligence
Document Intelligence applies prebuilt and custom models tuned for structured document layout, extracting parties, dates and monetary amounts from PDFs via its general document and contract capabilities, satisfying the requirement for a primary extraction engine over unstructured contracts.
