Understands your document structure

Smart Document Understanding (SDU) is a visual machine learning tool that enables users to label text to build an understanding of critical components inside your enterprise documents (headers, tables, etc.). Annotate a few pages of your documents, and SDU self-learns the rest, retrieving answers and information only from relevant content.

How to use SDU

Delivers passages as answers

Traditional enterprise search engines perform keyword search and provide end-users with links to documents. But with Watson Discovery, our semantic search delivers specific passages that possess the most relevant information and their source documents. All the information you need is easily accessible.
