IXP Categorize - Generative Extraction

Help Document Understanding
1

Has anybody found a way to use IXP and Categorize documents?

I have two IXP Generative projects defined. Each project only accepts one type of document (as verified by Taxonomy).

The scenario is both types of document are placed in a folder.

Each IXP project extracts well for the right type of document.

The Categorise document activity in Studio appears to be associated with a “Structured Document” extraction.

It would be odd to have to build a separate “Categorisation” approach and it would seem wrong to send in-correct documents for two extractions just to discover only one will have worked.

Hopefully somebody will know if there is a correct Studio Activity for this functionality?

Hi @DavidMartin

Hope it will help you

Hi @DavidMartin,
IXP does not currently support document categorization across multiple IXP Generative projects. The Categorize Document activity works only with classic structured DU pipelines, not IXP. You need to build a separate pre-classification step (rules, keywords, or GenAI) to identify the document type and then route the document to the correct IXP project.

Sorry, I do not understand your response. I am already using IXP

I’m saying IXP does not currently support document categorization across multiple IXP Generative projects.
But you can refer above forum link might be it will help you
Thanks

Thanks for the response.

I think that is a major failing by UiPath Product Management to not have addressed Document Type processing with IXP Generative.

The marketing speak on IXP is very expansive.

It would be more re-assuring if UiPath said the functionality would be in the next release.

Perhaps it is me, but when I click on the link you provided it does not connect with a post.

Sorry , please try this one

Thanks.

The “Long Term Vision” statement is directly at odds with the limitations of IXP Generative in my opinion.

Yes David
The long-term vision sets the strategic direction, while the current limitations reflect where IXP Generative.

@DavidMartin

you have a generative classifier you can try

I know the limitations are different for Unstructured..but IXP is about all 3 together not anyone of them. But I see where you are coming from. Once the multiple taxonomies is sorted you can expect classification to come in as well

cheers

Yes, I am aware of what can be done with DU - Modern projects.

I know I can make it work but it seems like the architecture of IXP has not been thought through.

One set of Sample documents, could be used for multiple purposes, not loaded multiple times.

Everything looks configured but it always gives an error - “Classify Document. Object reference not set to an instance of an object”.

The “Input” value is set and the “Output” document data has been initialised

The 3 items in the Dictionary have each been described for classification.

Any ideas?

Hi @DavidMartin

This error comes because something required by Classify Document is still null, even though it looks configured please check is variable passing into correct way

Thanks
