AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions

You are building a knowledge mining solution for legal documents using Azure AI Search. The solution must extract entities like dates, organizations, and persons from PDF files and index them. Which built-in skill should you add to the skillset to perform this extraction?

⚠ Common exam trap

A common mix-up: candidates confuse entity extraction with key phrase extraction or OCR, mistakenly thinking that extracting 'important terms' or 'text from images' is equivalent to identifying specific named entities like dates and organizations.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Named Entity Recognition skill

The Named Entity Recognition (NER) skill in Azure AI Search is specifically designed to extract entities such as dates, organizations, and persons from text. When added to a skillset, it processes the content extracted from PDF files and outputs structured entity information that can be indexed and queried. This directly matches the requirement to extract and index named entities from legal documents.
