AI Associate Series S8: Fundamentals of Model Training

Introduction

Introduction

In this article, we recap the eighth session of the AI Associate Series focused on the "Fundamentals of Model Training." This marks the end of our live training program, which has journeyed through various essential topics related to AI, including core UiPath training, Document Understanding, Communications Mining, and ultimately, model training.

Session Overview

The training began with a solid foundation in UiPath Studio and Orchestrator and progressed to AI Center, where participants engaged in document understanding and communication mining. In our final session, we focused on the crucial aspects of model training for AI systems, particularly as they pertain to Communications Mining.

The live training has equipped participants with valuable insights and hands-on knowledge, laying the groundwork for their specialization as AI associates. Now, participants will have until November 15th to complete their specialized AI associate training in the UiPath Academy.

Next Steps in the Program

Following the completion of Academy training, participants will receive a verification test link from the certification team. This test assesses learning from both the training sessions and the Academy modules. Successful completion will provide participants a pathway to receive free certification vouchers.

Important Dates:

• Academy Completion Deadline: November 15th
• Certification Verification Test: Begins post-Academy completion

Understanding Communications Mining

Communications Mining involves extracting useful information from various communication data, such as emails or messages. This process transforms unstructured data into structured, machine-readable formats for analysis and automation.

The deployment of Communications Mining follows several key stages:

1. Ingest and Store: Collect data from sources such as email servers, chat systems, and CRMs.
2. Parse and Comprehend: Utilize deep learning for sentiment analysis and data extraction.
3. Discover and Plan: Subject matter experts train the model based on this data.
4. Report and Analyze: Generate insights and streamline workflows based on findings.

Model Training Process

The model training process involves setting up and teaching the system to recognize specific labels and fields that apply to each message in a dataset. The following elements are key:

• Taxonomy Design: Create a structural hierarchy of data labels and fields.
• Labeling Messages: Subject matter experts must carefully label messages based on their intent and concepts.
• Training Models: After adequate data labeling, the model begins to learn and predict.

Best practices include reviewing performance metrics, ensuring balanced representation in labels, and continuously refining the model based on feedback.

Generative AI in Communications Mining

Generative AI aids in labeling and field extraction, allowing for efficient processing of data with minimal manual intervention. This significantly speeds up the model training process by predicting fields based on previously labeled samples.

Conclusion

The session concluded with an Q&A segment, clearing up several queries about the application of Communications Mining, licensing, data quality, and the next steps in certification. As a final note, participants are encouraged to embrace their newly acquired skills and look forward to certification opportunities.
