AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions
You are building a knowledge mining solution for a legal firm that needs to extract key clauses from thousands of scanned contract PDFs. The solution must identify parties, effective dates, and termination conditions. Which Azure AI service should you use as the primary component?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure AI Document Intelligence
Azure AI Document Intelligence (formerly Form Recognizer) is the appropriate service for extracting structured data like parties, effective dates, and termination conditions from scanned contract PDFs. It offers prebuilt models for contracts and custom extraction capabilities. Azure AI Language is for text analytics and NLP but lacks the OCR and layout understanding needed for scanned documents. Azure AI Vision provides OCR but not structured extraction. Azure AI Search is for indexing and searching, not extraction. Therefore, Option A is correct.

- ✓
Azure AI Document Intelligence
Why this is correct
Azure AI Document Intelligence (formerly Form Recognizer) is designed to extract data from documents, including scanned PDFs.
- ✗
Azure AI Vision
Why it's wrong here
Azure AI Vision analyzes images, not structured document content.
- ✗
Azure AI Language
Why it's wrong here
Azure AI Language provides text analytics but cannot extract from scanned PDFs directly.
- ✗
Azure AI Search

Same concept, more angles
2 more ways this is tested on AI-102
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. You need to implement a solution that searches through a collection of scanned invoices and extracts invoice numbers, dates, and total amounts. The solution must run on a schedule without manual intervention. Which Azure service should you use?
easy- A.Azure Bot Service
- ✓ B.Azure AI Document Intelligence
- C.Azure AI Search with built-in skills
- D.Azure AI Foundry model catalog
Why B: Azure AI Document Intelligence (formerly Form Recognizer) is specifically designed to extract structured data like invoice numbers, dates, and total amounts from scanned documents. It can be scheduled to run automatically via APIs or pipelines. Azure Bot Service is for conversational AI, not document extraction. Azure AI Search with built-in skills can index and search documents but is not optimized for extracting specific fields from invoices. Azure AI Foundry model catalog is for discovering and deploying AI models, not for direct document extraction.
Variation 2. Your company has a large repository of scanned invoices in PDF format. You need to extract invoice number, date, total amount, and vendor name from these PDFs. Which Azure AI service should you use?
medium- A.Azure AI Language
- ✓ B.Azure AI Document Intelligence
- C.Azure AI Search
- D.Azure AI Vision
Why B: Azure AI Document Intelligence (formerly Form Recognizer) is purpose-built for extracting structured data (fields like invoice number, date, total amount, vendor name) from scanned documents such as invoices and receipts. It uses prebuilt models trained specifically on invoice layouts and supports both OCR and key-value pair extraction from PDFs.
