A plurality of word level text regions from the image and text value are obtained. Further, a plurality of text characteristics corresponding to each of the plurality of word level text regions are extracted and matching seed word regions are obtained. Further a plurality of meaningful text blocks and a plurality of seed blocks are obtained. Finally, a plurality of product names are extracted using a matrix based product name detection technique and updated in the product dictionary.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A system may support a machine learning model for legal clause extraction. The machine learning model may receive, as an input, at least a portion of a document and may output an indication of one or more legal clauses included in the document.

Abstract: A computing device includes multiple camera systems each having one or both of a different field of view or a focus range. For example, the computing device may include a telephoto camera system, a wide angle camera system, an ultra-wide angle camera system, and a macro camera system. When a camera application is running, the scenes from each of the multiple cameras are automatically analyzed to determine whether a barcode (e.g., a 1-dimensional barcode or a 2-dimensional barcode, also referred to as a QR code) is included in one of the scenes. If a barcode is included in the scene from a particular camera system, that camera system is selected and one or more actions are taken (e.g., the barcode is displayed by the computing device, information embedded in the barcode is displayed, and so forth).
