Quickstart

The `unstructured` library includes functions to partition, chunk, clean, and stage raw source documents. These functions serve as the primary public interfaces within the library.

Core Functionality

Partitioning functions in `unstructured` allow users to extract structured content from a raw unstructured document. These functions break a document down into elements such as `Title`, `NarrativeText`, and `ListItem`, enabling users to decide what content they’d like to keep for their particular application. If you’re training a summarization model, for example, you may only be interested in `NarrativeText`.

As part of data preparation for an NLP model, it’s common to need to clean up your data prior to passing it into the model. If there’s unwanted content in your output, for example, it could impact the quality of your NLP model. To help with this, the `unstructured` library includes cleaning functions to help users sanitize output before sending it to downstream applications.

Cleaning

Extracting

Staging

Chunking functions in `unstructured` use metadata and document elements detected with `partition` functions to post-process elements into more useful "chunks" for uses cases such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Set embedding behavior

Set the OCR agent

Depending on your need, `Unstructured` provides OCR-based and Transformer-based models to detect elements in the documents. The models are useful to detect the complex layout in the documents and predict the element types.

Models

Integrate your model development pipeline with your favorite machine learning frameworks and libraries, and prepare your data for ingestion into downstream systems. Most of our integrations come in the form of [staging functions](/open-source/core-functionality/staging), which take a list of `Element` objects as input and return formatted dictionaries as output.
