Overview of this book

While AI has become an integral part of every organization today, the development of large-scale ML solutions and management of complex ML workflows in production continue to pose challenges for many. Google’s unified data and AI platform, Vertex AI, directly addresses these challenges with its array of MLOPs tools designed for overall workflow management. This book is a comprehensive guide that lets you explore Google Vertex AI’s easy-to-advanced level features for end-to-end ML solution development. Throughout this book, you’ll discover how Vertex AI empowers you by providing essential tools for critical tasks, including data management, model building, large-scale experimentations, metadata logging, model deployments, and monitoring. You’ll learn how to harness the full potential of Vertex AI for developing and deploying no-code, low-code, or fully customized ML solutions. This book takes a hands-on approach to developing u deploying some real-world ML solutions on Google Cloud, leveraging key technologies such as Vision, NLP, generative AI, and recommendation systems. Additionally, this book covers pre-built and turnkey solution offerings as well as guidance on seamlessly integrating them into your ML workflows. By the end of this book, you’ll have the confidence to develop and deploy large-scale production-grade ML solutions using the MLOps tooling and best practices from Google.

Summary

This chapter highlighted the fact that every business or company uses many forms of documents (such as emails, contracts, forms, PDFs, and images) to share and store information. Document AI is an end-to-end solution on Google Cloud that lets us extract this information in a structured way such that it can be readily used to train ML models or perform other downstream tasks to make a lot of value out of the information within these documents.

By completing this chapter, you should now be confident about Document AI and its importance for every business. You should also have a good understanding of prebuilt processors within Document AI and should be able to integrate them into their application easily. Finally, if prebuilt processors don’t fulfill your expectations, there are options to build custom processors to meet the goal of your use case.

We now have a good understanding of Document AI on Google Cloud. In the next chapter, we will learn about more Google...
