  • Publication number: 20240054390
    Abstract: Labels are often over labeled by machine-learning models and under labeled by human labelers. A solution to the over and under labeling problem is to have both a machine-learning model and a human label a document, then send the document to a parser to determine the discrepancies. The discrepancies are then presented to a human to review and decide whether the machine-learning model identified labels are labels. The feedback is then given to the machine-learning model for further improvement in its confidence calculations which via a confidence threshold determine if the identified labels are presented.

  • Publication number: 20240046684
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to extracting text from form-like documents. In particular, a computing system can obtain an image of a document that contains a plurality of portions of text. The computing system can extract one or more candidate text portions for each field type included in a target schema. The computing system can generate a respective input feature vector for each candidate for the field type. The computing system can generate a respective candidate embedding for the candidate text portion. The computing system can determine a respective score for each candidate text portion for the field type based at least in part on the respective candidate embedding for the candidate text portion. The computing system can assign one or more of the candidate text portions to the field type based on the respective scores.

  • Publication number: 20070282740
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for facilitating a second party account with employer merchant or sponsor control of one or more spending limits. An exemplary system facilitates provision of funds to a second party and control of the spending of second party by an employer or sponsor through establishment or modification of one or more spending limits. Exemplary spending limits may be configured for modifying a spending capacity so as to affect, for example, amount per transaction, per day, during a predetermined time period, at a particular merchant, at a particular chain of merchants, at a type of industry, in accordance with a predetermined rate of increase or decrease over time, number of transactions during any time period and/or any combination thereof. All unspent monies to include but not limited to cash, credit, goods, services, award points and consumer experiences are returned to the first party.

  • Patent number: 5908587
    Abstract: Method of making porous, fibrillose bodies from fibrils bonded together into a self-supporting structure. A mixture of fibrils and a viscous, non-newtonian, liquid vehicle including an organic hydrosorbent and water is (1) injected into a mold, (2) frozen in the mold to form a frozen precursor of the article, (3) ejected from the mold while still frozen, (4) freeze-dried, and (5) finally heated to remove the hydrosorbent and bond the particles together. The process is particularly effective for making fibrillose preforms for infiltrating with metal in the manufacture of metal matrix composites.
