The rapid advancements in AI have unlocked the potential for innovative processing workflows that were once
deemed highly challenging or even impossible. However, relying solely on AI processing is often insufficient
for addressing real-world problems. A hybrid approach that combines AI with traditional data processing offers a more effective solution for tackling complex information processing tasks.
This presentation introduces the concept of hybrid AI pipelines, leveraging XProc, a W3C-recommended XML pipeline language, to orchestrate workflows that integrate AI and traditional
processing steps. By incorporating AI into XProc workflows, we enable a powerful yet straightforward framework for solving real-world challenges.
We will explore the limitations of AI-based processing and demonstrate strategies to overcome them, such as dividing complex problems into manageable sub-tasks and
orchestrating these workflows using XProc. Attendees will learn how to define their own hybrid workflows, utilize encapsulated AI processing steps, and adapt existing workflows to refine results.
Through real-world use cases, we will showcase the benefits of hybrid AI processing, including its ability to decompose complex problems, orchestrate diverse data flows, and achieve superior outcomes.
The session will conclude with a summary of results, comparisons with alternative approaches, and insights into future possibilities for hybrid AI pipelines.
