After partitioning and chunking, summarizing generates text-based summaries of images and tables. This summarization is done by using the GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet models.

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.

        the relationship between Potential (V) and Current Density (A/cm2). 
        The x-axis is labeled 'Current Density (A/cm2)' and ranges from 
        0.0000001 to 0.1. The y-axis is labeled 'Potential (V)' and ranges 
        from -2.5 to 1.5. There are six different data series represented 
        by different colors: blue (10g), red (4g), green (6g), purple (2g), 
        orange (Control), and light blue (8g). The data points for each series 
        show how the potential changes with varying current density.\"\n}",

{
    "type": "Table",
    "element_id": "5713c0e90194ac7f0f2c60dd614bd24d",
    "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 and tables

To summarize images and tables, in the Transform section of a workflow, specify the following:

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

For image summarization, in the Image summarization area, choose one of the following:

  • None: No image summarization. This is the default.
  • GPT-4o: Use GPT-4o to summarize images. Learn more.
  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Use Claude 3.5 Sonnet to summarize images. Learn more.

For table summarization, in the Table summarization area, choose one of the following:

  • None: No table summarization. This is the default.
  • GPT-4o: Use GPT-4o to summarize tables. Learn more.
  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Use Claude 3.5 Sonnet to summarize tables. Learn more.
