Fetching associated values to an entity from Cognitive Search service

Question

I have a cognitive search service that is created with a set of resumes, so it reads the resumes and makes them searchable. I have an additional need now to search whether there is a duration associated to each organization that the person worked in. The cognitive search extracts the Organization names and durations from the resume. But I am looking for a way to check which durations are associated to which Organizations for a given resume, which does not seem to be possible by the default search service. I am not sure if I need to try creating a knowledge store, custom entity, custom skill, field mappings or something else. Appreciate your help to get started on the right option.

Thanks,
Haripriya

Thanks for reaching here! We recommend you to starts with Forms Recognizer product: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/applied-ai-services/form-recognizer/overview?view=form-recog-3.0.0.

You can use the recognition models that exist already or use a custom model and train it. With Forms Recognizer Studio you can see how each model processes data and how it maps key pairs.

Further to integrate the fields mapped to Cognitive Search, you can refer this document link for custom skill: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/cognitive-search-custom-skill-form

Please let us know if further query or issue remains.

Thanks for reply! would you prefer to retrieve the fields as key value pairs? If so, perhaps the General model will help.
