Modernize manual document workflows with AI and serverless architecture patterns »Effectively and efficiently extracting useful information from large documents like regulatory filings, contracts, loan applications, bank statements, and even images is integral to day-to-day operations in the Financial Services industry. But the mechanisms financial institutions rely on to process these documents are manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. Machine Learning techniques such as Optical Character Recognition and Natural Language Processing can enable organizations to extract text from millions of documents quickly, confidently, and securely. But to do so, these organizations first need to implement intelligent governance programs that allow business users to collaborate with technologists to drive data quality. This session will show how to build a data catalog and establish data lineage as a foundation for document-processing pipelines.
