🗞️News:
ABBYY redesigns Marketplace to fuel LLMs and RAG systems with high-quality data Intelligent process automation solutions provider ABBYY has announced that it has redesigned its Marketplace. Through the extensive library of AI document skills, ABBYY aims to meet the growing demand from organizations for the high-quality data required to effectively leverage large language models (LLMs). Furthermore, the revamped Marketplace aims to support users of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems with skills that act as a user guide for AI models, helping them to reference specific data in their knowledge base. With high-quality data fed to LLMs and RAG systems, ABBYY expands the capabilities of ABBYY Vantage, its IDP platform, for highly accurate and efficient extraction of data from documents. Bruce Orcutt, Chief Marketing Officer at ABBYY, explained: “The redesigned Marketplace helps accelerate the conversion of company knowledge to structured and highly accurate formats. This caters to enterprise innovation leaders, developers and partners who want as much flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy as possible to quickly deploy pre-built solutions for their specific business use cases out of the box.” Bruce Orcutt continued: “RAG in particular is experiencing a rapid increase in adoption by enterprises as a means to optimize the output of LLMs. We believe this allows businesses to take the next step towards maturity in LLM use cases. We’re excited to support these initiatives through ABBYY Marketplace and ABBYY Vantage so they can be leveraged in critical processes regardless of document type, format, language, or structure. Combined with the largest library of document models available in the market, ABBYY sets itself apart to enable customers to fuel their data needs.”
Indico Data releases benchmark site evaluating LLMs for document understanding tasks IDP vendor Indico Data has announced the release of its industry-first benchmark site comparing large language models (LLMs) for document understanding tasks. Indico Data has created the LLM benchmark site (which compares and ranks metrics like relative runtime, and fundamental IDP capabilities such as extraction accuracy ranking, classification accuracy ranking, and summarization accuracy ranking) for IT leaders, data scientists and strategic decision makers who want to rely on data-driven insights for technology implementation. The LLMs tested included LLama, Azure OpenAI, Google, AWS Bedrock, as well as Indico Data’s own trained discriminative standard language models RoBERTa and DeBERTa. Tom Wilde, CEO of Indico Data, commented: “Indico has been committed to fostering transparency and trust within the AI industry since our founding. Our latest initiative, the LLM benchmark site, fills a critical gap in the market by offering factual, unbiased information. This platform is essential for enterprises, providing them with the reliable data they need to select solutions that optimally align with their operational requirements.” Dan Lucarini, Senior Analyst at Deep Analysis, commented on the LLM benchmark and explained the rankings of the different models for data extraction accuracy and document classification accuracy. The benchmarking site can be found here.
Cogniquest appoints experienced P&C leader as industry advisor Document intelligence platform Cogniquest has announced the appointment of Sriraman Jayaraman as industry advisor to lead the company’s AI offerings in the insurance space.
