Abstract: A method of controlling a scanner to improve automatic recognition and classification of scanned physical documents for a document analysis system, which receives and processes jobs containing at least one electronic document from a plurality of users to automatically recognize and classify the job documents into document categories, is disclosed. The method comprises, using a scan control system, obtaining the capability of, and existing scanner settings for, the scanner upon receiving a command to initiate scanning of physical documents; saving the existing scanner settings of the scanner; automatically commanding the scanner to use new scanner settings, wherein the new scanner settings are selected in accordance with the capability of the recognition system; commanding the scanner to begin scanning operation with the new scanner settings; and automatically resetting the scanner settings of the scanner back to the saved existing scanner settings upon completing of the scanning operation.

Abstract: A method of training a document analysis system that automatically extracts image and text features from each received electronic document and compares the extracted features with feature sets associated with each document category is provided. If an electronic document is recognized as belonging to one of the document categories with predetermined confidence, the method classifies the electronic document as being of that one document category. If an electronic document is not recognized as belonging to one of the document categories with predetermined confidence, however, the method submits the unrecognized document to a training phase in which the document is recognized as belonging to a document category and automatically modifies at least one of the features and the weights of the features of the feature set for the document category for the now-recognized document.

Abstract: A method in a document analysis system automatically extracts image and text features from each received electronic document and compares the extracted features with feature sets associated with each category of document to determine whether the document is recognizable as belonging to a document category. If an electronic document is recognized as belonging to one of the document categories, the method classifies the electronic document as belonging to that document category. If, however, an electronic document is unrecognized, the method submits the unrecognized document to a learning phase, in which the unrecognized document is presented to a human trainer for manual classification of the unrecognized electronic document into a document category, and automatically modifies at least one of the features and the weights of the feature set of the document category corresponding to the manually-classified electronic document using the automatically extracted features of the manually-classified document.

Abstract: A document analysis system that automatically classifies documents by recognizing in each document distinctive features comprises a document acquisition system, a document recognition training system, a document classification system, a document recognition system, and a job organization system. The document acquisition system receives jobs wherein each job containing at least one electronic document. The document feature recognition system automatically extracts image and text features from each received document. The document classification system automatically classifies recognized electronic documents by finding the best match between the extracted features of each of the document and feature sets associated with each category of document. The document recognition training system automatically trains the feature set for each corresponding category of documents, wherein the training system using extracted features of unrecognized documents automatically modifies the feature set for a document category.

Abstract: A method is described for forming capacitors in integrated circuits by making the capacitors concurrently with the fabrication of the interconnection wiring levels. A single additional photolithographic step and two depositions are required to form capacitors within each wiring level. A key feature of the invention is the use of an etch-stop to protect the capacitor dielectric during contact or via etching. The storage plates of the capacitor are formed from two successive conductor levels which can include polysilicon levels as well. The process is particularly suited to the manufacture of logic circuits and can be used effectively in MOSFET, bipolar and BiCMOS processes.
