Businesses also rely as well on documents that do not have a predefined data structure, which is why <strong>starting from today<\/strong>, you can leverage the same familiar no-code AI experience to also automate data extraction from <strong>unstructured documents like contracts, statements of work, financial or medical reports, publications, and other types of free form documents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Structured \/ Semi-structured documents<\/strong>\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Documents where fields, tables, checkboxes are always in similar places for a given layout.

Because we use language understanding technology to process unstructured documents, giving relevant names to your fields will improve the accuracy of the AI model.

The AI model can generalize across different formats of a single document type. As a best practice upload at least five sample documents for each of the different variations to the training dataset.
