The Air Waybill skill extracts data from air waybills. An air waybill is a document issued by an air carrier and listing the goods being shipped, together with the details of the sender, the recipient, and the carrier. It accompanies the goods conveyed and is a contract between the carrier and the shipper, but it is not a document of title to the goods. The Air Waybill skill is a production skill. It has been fully trained on a large document set and provides high accuracy of data identification and extraction. The skill is ready to be used in production and does not require further training on your specific documents. Accuracy and straight-through processing (STP) rates can be further optimized in production through continuous learning from human-in-the-loop feedback.
