In this post, we show how you can automate and intelligently process derivative confirms at scale using AWS AI services. The solution combines Amazon Textract, a fully managed ML service to effortlessly extract text, handwriting, and data from scanned documents, and AWS Serverless technologies, a suite of fully managed event-driven services for running code, managing data, and integrating applications, all without managing servers.

Name entity recognition (NER) is the process of extracting information of interest, called entities, from structured or unstructured text. Manually identifying all mentions of specific types of information in documents is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some examples include extracting players and positions in an NFL game summary, products mentioned in an AWS keynote transcript, or […]

This post explains a generative artificial intelligence (AI) technique to extract insights from business emails and attachments. It examines how AI can optimize financial workflow processes by automatically summarizing documents, extracting data, and categorizing information from email attachments. This enables companies to serve more clients, direct employees to higher-value tasks, speed up processes, lower expenses, enhance data accuracy, and increase efficiency.

In today’s business landscape, organizations are constantly seeking ways to optimize their financial processes, enhance efficiency, and drive cost savings. One area that holds significant potential for improvement is accounts payable. On a high level, the accounts payable process includes receiving and scanning invoices, extraction of the relevant data from scanned invoices, validation, approval, and […]

Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that enables automatic extraction of text, handwriting, and data from scanned documents, surpassing traditional optical character recognition (OCR). It can identify, understand, and extract data from tables and forms with remarkable accuracy. Presently, several companies rely on manual extraction methods or basic OCR software, which is tedious […]

AWS customers in healthcare, financial services, the public sector, and other industries store billions of documents as images or PDFs in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). However, they’re unable to gain insights such as using the information locked in the documents for large language models (LLMs) or search until they extract the text, forms, […]

Amazon Comprehend is a natural-language processing (NLP) service that provides pre-trained and custom APIs to derive insights from textual data. Amazon Comprehend customers can train custom named entity recognition (NER) models to extract entities of interest, such as location, person name, and date, that are unique to their business. To train a custom model, you […]

Conversational AI has come a long way in recent years thanks to the rapid developments in generative AI, especially the performance improvements of large language models (LLMs) introduced by training techniques such as instruction fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback. When prompted correctly, these models can carry coherent conversations without any task-specific training data. […]

The IDP Well-Architected Lens is intended for all AWS customers who use AWS to run intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions and are searching for guidance on how to build secure, efficient, and reliable IDP solutions on AWS. Building a production-ready solution in the cloud involves a series of trade-offs between resources, time, customer expectation, and […]

Building a production-ready solution in AWS involves a series of trade-offs between resources, time, customer expectation, and business outcome. The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the benefits and risks of decisions you make while building workloads on AWS. By using the Framework, you will learn current operational and architectural recommendations for designing and operating […]
