What you'll learn

Building high-quality document processing evals

Learn techniques for creating evaluation frameworks that measure end-to-end pipeline accuracy

Deploying multimodal retrieval agents

Discover how to implement agents that automatically optimize document processing workflows

Automating pipeline iteration and improvement

Understand methods for building self-improving systems that enhance their own performance

Why this topic matters

Document processing errors cost time and money in production. As AI handles critical workflows, building self-improving pipelines becomes essential. Students will learn automated optimization techniques to create systems that evolve beyond manual tuning—a valuable skill as companies scale AI applications.
