AI-103: Implement information extraction solutions (10–15%)
Information extraction is 10–15% of AI-103. It turns documents and multimodal content into searchable, grounded representations for applications and agents.
Retrieval pipelines
Design ingestion, chunking, OCR, embedding and indexing. Keyword search finds exact terms; vector search finds semantic similarity; hybrid search combines candidates; semantic ranking improves relevance. Carry source metadata through the pipeline for citations.
Structured extraction
Use OCR for text recognition, Document Intelligence for layout and familiar document fields, and Content Understanding for schema-driven extraction across documents, images, audio and video. Produce clean Markdown or structured output suitable for RAG and agent reasoning.
