How to Work with A2019 IQBot

A2019 IQBot Command | IQBot is a software that is provided by Automation Anywhere that is used to process semi-structured and unstructured data. IQBot uses the Artificial Intelligence technologies(AI) such as Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing(NLP), fuzzy logic and machine learning which will automatically classify, extract and validate information from the business documents and emails.

What is an IQBot?

IQBot basically "learns the actions that are performed by the human beings" and once we train the IQBot for the actions, the next time when it receives the documents of the same type on which we trained the IQBot then it will automatically identify that type of document and will extract all the data from that document.

Working of Intelligent Document Processing 

As shown in the diagram below there are four steps which are there in the Intelligent Document Processing. So now let us take a look at each of the steps as follows:-

• Pre-Processing - In this step the pre-processing of document takes place which means if there is any noise in the document so the pre-processing of the document will improve the document quality by reducing the noise, binarization and using de-skewing techniques.
• Classification - This step is useful to classify and separate multi-page documents to identify relevant pages which means it will classify same type of documents and will put it into one group and so on.
• Extraction - In this step we will use Machine learning technologies to extract specific data from the documents.
• Post-Processing - In this step we will validate data using rules and AI-driven techniques to improve the extraction results.

Intelligent Document Processing

Stages in IQBot

There are 4 stages in IQBot which are as follows as shown in the below diagram:-

• Create Learning Instance- In this stage we need to create the learning instance so in this stage we need to pass certain fields such as Instance name, Document type such as invoices, purchase orders etc., upload the document which we need to process and extract the data from. Once we do this then we need to select form fields and the table fields which we need to extract and then finally click on Create Instance and Analyze.
• Analyze & Classify - The second stage in IQBot is Analyze which will analyze the documents which we have uploaded in the Create Learning Instance stage using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence it will automatically organize similar documents into groups and map fields with areas on the document.
• Train/Review - In this stage we need to review field mapping and make necessary corrections if any. IQBot will learn from these corrections and will improve the accuracy of data extraction.
• Production - After we complete the IQBot training we can use the learning instance in production by calling it from the task bot.

IQBot Stages

So IQBot after going through all the stages will convert the semi-structured data or unstructured data into the structured data form so that we can easily work with the structured data through the task bot and the data will be extracted in the CSV file format.

So in this article we discussed what is an IQBot, how an Intelligent Document Processing works and what are the stages in IQBot.
