Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900)Describe features of computer vision workloads on AzureHard
A financial institution wants to automate the processing of loan applications. Each application includes various documents like identity proofs, income statements, and bank statements, which often have different layouts but contain standard fields (e.g., 'Name', 'Address', 'Account Number'). Which Azure Cognitive Service is specifically designed to extract structured information from such diverse documents?
- AAzure Face API
- BAzure Form Recognizer
- CAzure Computer Vision API
- DAzure Custom Vision
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Azure Form Recognizer
Azure Form Recognizer is specifically built for extracting structured data from documents, regardless of their layout. It can identify key-value pairs, tables, and other structured information from forms and documents, making it ideal for automating loan application processing.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Azure Face API is for facial analysis and irrelevant to document processing.
- C. Azure Computer Vision API can perform OCR but is not optimized for extracting structured data like key-value pairs from documents with varying layouts.
- D. Azure Custom Vision is for training custom image classification or object detection models, not for structured data extraction from documents.
Azure Form Recognizer
A cloud-based Azure AI service that uses machine learning to extract key-value pairs, text, and table data from documents.
- Handles structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents.
- Can be trained with custom models for unique document types.
- Ideal for automating data entry and business process automation.
Memory trick: To recognize forms and extract data, use Form Recognizer.
