Unlocking Insights from Multimodal PDFs using OpenSearch and Vision-Language Models

Description

PDFs are packed with text, tables, and images, but extracting insights from them isn’t easy. Traditional methods involve multiple components like OCR and task-specific models—making them complex and hard to scale. Vision-Language Models like ColPali simplify this by representing all modalities in a unified format.In this session, you’ll see how ColPali can be combined with OpenSearch to enable conversational search over rich PDF content. We’ll also showcase a live demo to bring this concept to life.
