Document Understanding User Guide
Last updated Apr 4, 2025
Before starting the Document Understanding installation, make sure to check and satisfy all requirements for AI Center standalone for single-node here and for multi-node here.
A GPU is strongly recommended for Document Understanding in one of the following scenarios:
- If you retrain the Document Understanding models (DocumentUnderstanding - the general model, Invoices, Receipts, etc.) on AI Center.
- Training on CPU is 5-7 times slower and model performance degrades compared to training on GPU.
- If you run UiPathDocumentOCR (non-edge version) on AI Center to process more than 2 million pages a year.
-
If you do not use a GPU, slow performance may impact the product experience.
For more details about how to provision a GPU, see Adding a dedicated agent node with GPU support.
