Document Classification

Automatically categorising documents by type, topic, or purpose.

Definition

Document classification is the automated process of categorising documents into predefined classes based on their content, structure, or purpose. This can include identifying document types (invoices, contracts, reports), topics, sentiment, or urgency levels. AI-powered classification can handle documents it hasn't seen before by understanding content meaning rather than relying on keywords or templates.
