AI-102 Question 373
Select 3You are designing an Azure Cognitive Search solution for a document processing pipeline. You need to include a custom skill in the skillset to process proprietary metadata from documents that are stored in Azure Blob Storage. The custom skill must extract specific fields from the metadata and return them as part of the enriched data. Which of the following steps are required to implement and include the custom skill in the skillset?
- A
Define the custom skill in JSON format and include its URI and outputs.
- B
Deploy the custom skill as an Azure Function or an API that meets the Cognitive Search skill API requirements.
- C
Add the custom skill to the indexer configuration instead of the skillset.
- D
Ensure the custom skill outputs match the expected skillset field mappings.
- E
Configure the custom skill to generate an index directly without returning enriched data.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To implement a custom skill in Azure Cognitive Search, you must deploy the skill as a callable API or Azure Function that meets the skill API requirements. The skill must be defined in JSON format with its URI and outputs, and its outputs must align with the field mappings in the skillset. The skillset orchestrates the execution of the custom skill, and the indexer then processes the enriched data to generate the index.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Defining the custom skill in JSON format with its URI and outputs is required to include it in a skillset. This specifies how the skill will be invoked and what data it will return.
- B. Correct.
Correct: The custom skill must be deployed as an API or Azure Function that adheres to Cognitive Search's skill API requirements, such as accepting a POST request and returning the appropriate response format.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Custom skills are added to the skillset, not directly to the indexer configuration. The skillset orchestrates the execution of all skills, including custom ones.
- D. Correct.
Correct: The outputs of a custom skill must align with the field mappings defined in the skillset to ensure the enriched data can be processed and indexed correctly.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Custom skills do not generate an index directly; they return enriched data to be further processed by the skillset and indexer.
