Chapter 4: Automating Document Processing Workflows

In the previous chapter, we were introduced to Amazon Comprehend and Amazon Comprehend Medical, and we covered how to use these services to derive insights from text. We also spent some time understanding how Natural Language Processing algorithms work, the different types of insights you can uncover, and we also ran code samples trying out the Amazon Comprehend APIs.

In this chapter, we will walk through our first real-world use case of automating a document management workflow that many organizations struggle with today. We put together this solution based on our collective experience and the usage trends we have observed in our careers. Fasten your seat belts and get ready to experience architecting an end-to-end AI solution one building block at a time and watch it taking shape in front of you. We expect to be hands-on throughout the course of this chapter, but we have all the code samples we need to get going.

We will...
