Education is the Key Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!
Our Team is completing a special project that requires the customized categorization and filtering of a large amount of unstructured data (about 300,000 unduplicated PDFs) for an LLM-driven, AI application. Is there a specific Microsoft resource available that can handle that task? Microsoft Purview has been recommended, but it doesn't seem like an ideal solution.
Please see below suggestions to your scenario.
Based on your requirements, you can explore the following Microsoft Azure resources and decide on the best possible solution.
Azure AI Search is a cloud search service that provides a rich search experience for custom applications. It can be used to extract text and metadata from unstructured data sources, including PDFs, and then index and search the data. Check custom text classification to learn more.
Azure Machine Learning is a cloud-based service that provides tools to build, train, and deploy machine learning models. You can explore using Azure Machine Learning to build a custom model that can categorize and filter the unstructured data. Please see Azure Machine Learning Overview for more details.
Regarding Azure OpenAI: Azure OpenAI On Your Data supports the following file types:
-
.txt
-
.md
-
.html
-
.docx
-
.pptx
-
.pdf
There's an upload limit, and there are some caveats about document structure and how it might affect the quality of responses from the model:
- If you're converting data from an unsupported format into a supported format, optimize the quality of the model response by ensuring the conversion:
- Doesn't lead to significant data loss.
- Doesn't add unexpected noise to your data.
- If your files have special formatting, such as tables and columns, or bullet points, prepare your data with the data preparation script available on GitHub.
- For documents and datasets with long text, you should use the available data preparation script. The script chunks data so that the model's responses are more accurate. This script also supports scanned PDF files and images.
Do let me know if that helps or have any other queries.
