HANCOM said on the 3rd that its PDF data extraction technology, "OpenDataLoader PDF," has been registered as an official component of the global AI development framework "LangChain."
LangChain is the most widely used open-source framework for developing AI applications based on large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, and is the de facto standard tool used by hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide.
This registration is significant in that, following HANCOM's release of OpenDataLoader PDF's code on GitHub in Sep., the technology has been officially recognized as a core component of the global AI development ecosystem. Integration with LangChain goes beyond a simple open-source release, indicating that the technology's stability, performance, and suitability in AI development environments have been validated by the global community.
OpenDataLoader PDF is a technology that quickly and accurately extracts data such as text, tables, and images within PDF documents—often a bottleneck in AI training and utilization—and converts it into a format that AI can use immediately. This can greatly improve the efficiency of data preprocessing for AI models.
With this registration, HANCOM said AI developers around the world can use OpenDataLoader PDF to streamline PDF data processing, enabling the company to directly contribute to improving productivity in the global AI ecosystem.
Chief Technology Officer Jeong Ji-hwan of HANCOM said, "Official registration with LangChain is a result that recognizes HANCOM's document processing technology as part of the global AI development standard," adding, "We will continue to work with the global developer community to advance the technology and help solve data utilization challenges in the AI era."
