🔎🧾 What is Document Question Answering ?
According to Hugging Face, it is the task of answering questions on document images.
Why Is This Innovative For Customers ?
Customers who mainly work with hundreds of documents every couple days to extract information from formatted documents quickly discover their job is very repetitive. With the advent of DQAs, they can leverage free, open-source tools that can make completing their work a breeze. Technology can be developed, for very little to no cost, that can complete the tasks they would spend an entire workweek doing in hours, if not minutes.
When is it appropriate to be used ?
Of course, the first concern with using DQA systems is security. So customers should use their enterprise solution when possible but, they can also create their own solution to run locally on their machine with no information transmitted over the internet at all — this is the preferred method for ad-hoc solutions.
