How to build custom key-value extraction (similar to Azure Document Intelligence)?
Hugging Face Forums [Unofficial]

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to build a custom document understanding system and could use some guidance.
Currently, I’m using Azure Document Intelligence, where we can define specific fields and train a model by annotating documents. The trained model then extracts only the required key-value pairs from new documents.
I’m interested in building a similar solution using open-source models available on Hugging Face, but I’m not sure where to begin.
Could anyone suggest:
Suitable models or approaches for extracting specific fields from documents
Recommended workflows for training such a system
Thanks in advance for your help!
