AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions
You are designing a solution to extract customer names and addresses from scanned handwritten forms. The forms are stored as images in Azure Blob Storage. The extraction must achieve high accuracy with minimal manual review. Which combination of Azure AI services should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse prebuilt models (which work well for printed documents) with custom models (which are necessary for handwritten forms), or they assume OCR alone is sufficient without considering the need for structured field extraction.
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 with a custom model trained on handwritten forms
Azure AI Document Intelligence's custom model capability allows you to train a model specifically on handwritten forms, enabling it to learn the unique handwriting patterns and layout structures present in your scanned documents. This tailored approach achieves high accuracy with minimal manual review, as the model is optimized for your specific form type rather than generic invoice or receipt templates.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Azure AI Document Intelligence with prebuilt invoice and receipt models
Why it's wrong here
Prebuilt models are not designed for handwriting; accuracy would be poor.
- ✓
Azure AI Document Intelligence with a custom model trained on handwritten forms
Why this is correct
Custom models can be trained on handwriting samples to achieve high accuracy.
- ✗
Azure AI Language Service with custom Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Why it's wrong here
Language Service cannot process images directly; it requires text input.
- ✗
Azure AI Computer Vision with OCR and Azure AI Search
Why it's wrong here
Computer Vision OCR is not optimized for handwriting and may have low accuracy.
Quick reference
Azure Blob Storage Tier Comparison
| Tier | Storage Cost | Retrieval Cost | Latency | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hot | Highest | Lowest | Immediate | Active data, frequent reads |
| Cool | Lower | Higher | Immediate | Data accessed < once / month |
| Cold | Lower still | Higher | Immediate | Data accessed < once / quarter |
| Archive | Lowest | Highest + rehydration delay | Hours | Long-term compliance retention |
