About the Train ML models for document understanding (v2024.10) training

Specialized AI has demonstrated its value in enterprise automation scenarios. With the reliable and scalable automation architecture and the addition of high-performing machine learning models, automation developers can build high value document understanding automations.

This course is about how to get to these high-performing machine learning models. You'll start by understanding the out-of-the-box ML models offered by UiPath, then how to gather the requirements for the ML models, then how to select the best documents for training, then how to actually do the pre-labeling, labeling, training, and deploying the ML model. You'll be using the UiPath Document Understanding and AI Center first-party services.

The course has been built with the help of the most experienced practitioners from UiPath, part of the UiPath Technology Services team. You'll get a lot of videos in which the steps are demonstrated by one of our Senior Solution Architects. There are best practices guides awaiting at the end of the course, and there are tons of practice opportunities.

This course is designed to cater to automation professionals looking to become Specialized AI Professionals able to generate value across the entire cycle: in building the automation project, as well as getting the best ML models.

The Train ML models for document understanding course is an advanced level course. It takes about 5 hours to complete. At the end, you’ll receive a diploma of completion.
