Unlock the insights hidden within unstructured PDF documents! Many PDFs contain multimodal elements like text, tables, and images, and relying solely on text-based processing risks overlooking critical information. This session explores two powerful approaches to address this challenge: building specialized pipelines that integrate OCR and ML models for handling diverse modalities, and leveraging cutting-edge Vision-Language Models like ColPali to represent multimodal data in a unified format. Join us to discover how both methods can be applied to build an intelligent conversational search application using open-source technology, OpenSearch by leveraging it's its powerful search and ingest pipelines. The session includes a live demonstration to showcase practical implementations, empowering you to choose the approach that best fits your needs!
