After partitioning and chunking, summarizing generates text-based summaries of images and tables. This summarization is done by using models offered through these providers:

Here is an example of the output of image summarization using GPT-4o. Note specifically the text field that is added. Line breaks have been inserted here for readability. The output will not contain these line breaks.

    "text": "The table consists of 6 rows and 7 columns. The columns represent 
        inhibitor concentration (g), bc (V/dec), ba (V/dec), Ecorr (V), icorr 
        (A/cm\u00b2), polarization resistance (\u03a9), and corrosion rate 
        (mm/year). As the inhibitor concentration increases, the corrosion 
        rate generally decreases, indicating the effectiveness of the 
        inhibitor. Notably, the polarization resistance increases with higher 
        inhibitor concentrations, peaking at 6 grams before slightly 
        decreasing. This suggests that the inhibitor is most effective at 
        6 grams, significantly reducing the corrosion rate and increasing 
        polarization resistance. The data provides valuable insights into the 
        optimal concentration of the inhibitor for corrosion prevention.",

Summarize images or tables

To summarize images or tables, in the Task drop-down list of an Enrichment node in a workflow, specify the following:

You can change a workflow’s summarization settings only through Custom workflow settings.

Image summary descriptions, table summary descriptions, and table-to-HTML output is generated only when the Partitioner node in a workflow is set to use the High Res partitioning strategy and the workflow also contains an image description, table description, or table-to-HTML enrichment node.

Setting the Partitioner node to use Auto, VLM, or Fast in a workflow that also contains an image description, table description, or table-to-HTML enrichment node will not generate any image summary descriptions, table summary descriptions, or table-to-HTML output, and it could also cause the workflow to stop running or produce unexpected results.

For image summarization, select Image Description, and then choose one of the following provider (and model) combinations to use:

For table summarization, select Table Description, and then choose one of the following provider (and model) combinations to use:
