Abstract: A multi-label ranking method includes receiving, at a processor and from a first set of artificial neural networks (ANNs), multiple signals representing a first set of ANN output pairs for a first label. A signal representing a second set of ANN output pairs for a second label different from the first label is received at the processor from a second set of ANNs different from the first set of ANNs, substantially concurrently with the first set of ANN output pairs. A first activation function is solved based on the first set of ANN output pairs, and a second activation function is solved based on the second set of ANN output pairs. Loss values are calculated based on the solved activations, and a mask is generated based on at least one ground truth label. A signal, including a representation of the mask, is sent from the processor to each of the sets of ANNs.

Abstract: A method for extracting data from lineless tables includes storing an image including a table in a memory. A processor operably coupled to the memory identifies a plurality of text-based characters in the image, and defines multiple bounding boxes based on the characters. Each of the bounding boxes is uniquely associated with at least one of the text-based characters. A graph including multiple nodes and multiple edges is generated based on the bounding boxes, using a graph construction algorithm. At least one of the edges is identified for removal from the graph, and removed from the graph to produce a reduced graph. The reduced graph can be sent to a neural network to predict row labels and column labels for the table.

Abstract: An object-extraction method includes generating multiple partition objects based on an electronic document, and receiving a first user selection of a data element via a user interface of a compute device. In response to the first user selection, and using a machine learning model, a first subset of partition objects from the multiple partition objects is detected and displayed via the user interface. A user interaction, via the user interface, with one of the partition objects is detected, and in response, a weight of the machine learning model is modified, to produce a modified machine learning model. A second user selection of the data element is received via the user interface, and in response and using the modified machine learning model, a second subset of partition objects from the multiple partition objects is detected and displayed via the user interface, the second subset different from the first subset.
