Query group extraction tips

This Sensible Instruct method extracts individual facts in a document, such as the date of an invoice, the liability limit of an insurance policy, or the destination address of a shipping container delivery. When you configure the Multimodal Engine parameter, this method can extra data from non-text images, such as photographs, charts, or illustrations. For an example, see Example: Extract from images

Sensible recommends grouping queries together if they share context. Queries share context when data exists in the same location or region of a document, for example, on the same page. You can configure context using Advanced prompt configuration.

For example, contact information can usually be found in the same location of a document:

New York City, NY
(123) 456-7890
[email protected] 

Combining queries for the location, phone number, and email into the same group will help you maximize the accuracy and speed of your extractions. Frame each query, or prompt, in the group so that it has a single, short answer. Sensible recommends a maximum group size of 10 queries.
