Doctran: extract properties
We can extract useful features of documents using the Doctran library, which uses OpenAI’s function calling feature to extract specific metadata.
Extracting metadata from documents is helpful for a variety of tasks, including:
- Classification: classifying documents into different categories
- Data mining: Extract structured data that can be used for data analysis
- Style transfer: Change the way text is written to more closely match expected user input, improving vector search results
%pip install --upgrade --quiet doctran
