  • Publication number: 20250232604
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for training an electronic document extraction model, including the generation of the training data to train the model based on sampling a pool of electronic documents based on a rareness metric of the documents. Each electronic document has a document-level rareness metric generated, with the document-level rareness metric being based on one or more of a structural rareness metric or a content rareness metric of the document. The structural rareness metric measures the rareness of the document structure, which may be irrespective of the text content of the document. The content rareness metric measures the rareness of the document content, which may be irrespective of the document structure. The electronic documents are sampled based on the document-level rareness metrics to increase the number of rare documents in the training data without unduly biasing the sampling to optimize the training data for training the extraction model.

  • Publication number: 20250193394
    Abstract: A method for signaling arbitrary partition boundaries is provided. A video coder derives a partitioning structure for splitting the current block by identifying a partitioning position having a lowest cost. The video coder splits the current block into first and second partitions according to the identified partitioning position. The video coder encodes or decodes the first and second partitions of the current block. The first and second partitions may be associated with first and second templates that are constructed based on reconstructed pixels neighboring the current block. The video coder may identify the partitioning position by computing a first cost based on the first template and a second cost based on the second template and optimizing the partitioning position to minimize a sum of the first and second costs.
