Develop AI information extraction solutions in Azure Training in Canada

Develop AI Information Extraction Solutions in Azure focuses on building AI-powered solutions that extract useful information from documents and forms with Azure AI Document Intelligence.

During this hands-on workshop, participants explore how Azure AI Document Intelligence can capture information from both typed and handwritten forms. In addition to working with prebuilt models, learners discover how to create custom solutions for organisation-specific form types and combine models to process different types of documents.

The course also covers integrating a Document Intelligence solution into an Azure Cognitive Search pipeline as a custom skill. This provides participants with an understanding of a broader information extraction workflow, from identifying data within documents to using the extracted information for search and content enrichment scenarios.

There are no technical prerequisites for this course.

Important: This course has MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) requirements. Participants should install the required MFA application and complete the necessary preparation before attending the course.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Design a solution that uses Azure AI Document Intelligence to analyse business forms,
• Build solutions that analyse common document types with prebuilt Document Intelligence models,
• Develop Document Intelligence solutions capable of analysing different custom form types,
• Integrate Azure AI Document Intelligence into an Azure Cognitive Search pipeline as a custom skill.
