PLANET AI releases new Intelligent Document Analysis features IDP provider PLANET AI has announced the release of IDA 5.1, which includes new features such as document splitting, improvements in model training and usability. The new document splitting feature leverages a neural network to detect the beginning and end of multi-page documents or split them based on a specified number of pages. In addition, automatic pre-training is now accelerated by the ability to define the extraction target directly on the first document (resulting in faster training). The entity finder module also lets users quickly determine whether a document contains a specific word or number, and the workflow demonstration tool has been improved with the selection of modules from the active workflow for sample processing.
