What to know about Information Extraction
You must be able to choose the right Document Intelligence model for a scenario and improve extraction confidence. The single most important thing: match model type to document variability—use prebuilt for standard forms, custom template for fixed layouts, custom neural for varied layouts, and composed for mixed sets.
Selecting prebuilt models like invoice, receipt, or ID for common document types
Building custom extraction models with labeled samples using Document Intelligence Studio
Using composed models to handle multiple document types in one pipeline
Interpreting confidence scores and applying actions like relabeling or adding training data
Watch out for
Common Information Extraction exam traps
- ▸Assuming a prebuilt model works for highly varied or frequently changing layouts; custom neural or template models are needed.
- ▸Ignoring confidence thresholds and not planning for human review or retraining when scores are low.
- ▸Confusing custom template models (fixed layout) with custom neural models (varied layouts) and choosing the wrong one.
