Can Google Document AI classify documents?


I'm playing with Google Document AI and when I read some documentation from Google and other sources I often see a statement that Document AI can classify documents, not only extract the data by labels. However, I don't see how I can achieve that.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to do that?


Solution

  • Update on the product: Document AI now supports creating Custom Document Classifier processors in GA which allows classification of custom document types. So you won't need to use AutoML Image or Text Classification for classifying documents that don't have a dedicated Specialized Splitter/Classifier.

    Here's the instructions for how to create one.
