  • Publication number: 20200364725
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method that can assign a product to a regulatory group via a machine learning algorithm. The system can predict whether a product belongs in any of a number of different groups and retrieve regulations for the predicted groups. In one example, the method may include receiving an alphanumeric identifier of an object, predicting that the object is included within one or more regulatory categories via execution of a regulatory-based machine learning algorithm that receives the identifier of the object as an input and classifies the object into the one or more regulatory categories, retrieving regulation information about the one or more predicted regulatory categories for at least one jurisdiction associated with the object, and outputting the retrieved regulation information about the one or more predicted regulations for display via a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20200302208
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for optical character recognition using end-to-end deep learning. In an embodiment, an optical character recognition system may train a neural network to identify characters of pixel images, assign index values to the characters, and recognize different formatting of the characters, such as distinguishing between handwritten and typewritten characters. The neural network may also be trained to identify, groups of characters and to generate bounding boxes to group these characters. The optical character recognition system may then analyze documents to identify character information based on the pixel data and produce segmentation masks, such as a type grid segmentation mask, and one or more bounding box masks. The optical character recognition system may supply these masks as an output or may combine the masks to generate a version of the received document having optically recognized characters.

  • Patent number: 10783377
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure therefore involve systems and methods for identifying a set of visually similar scenes to a target scene selected or otherwise identified by a match analyst. A scene retrieval platform performs operations for: receiving an input that comprises an identification of a scene; retrieving a set of coordinates based on the scene identified by the input, where the set of coordinates identify positions of the entities depicted within the frames; generating a set of vector values based on the coordinates of the entities depicted within each of the frames; concatenating the set of vector values to generate a concatenated vector value that represents the scene; generating a visual representation of the concatenated vector value; and identifying one or more similar scenes to the scene identified by the input based on the visual representation of the concatenated vector value.

  • Publication number: 20200279128
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing object detection and filtering operations. An embodiment operates by receiving an image comprising a plurality of pixels and pixel information for each pixel. The pixel information indicates a bounding box corresponding to an object within the image associated with a respective pixel and a confidence score associated with the bounding box for the respective pixel. Pixels that do not correspond to a center of at least one of the bounding boxes are iteratively removed from the plurality of pixels until a subset of pixels each of which correspond to a center of at least one of the bounding boxes remains. Based on the subset, a final bounding box associated with each object of the image is determined based on an overlapping of the bounding boxes of the subset of pixels and the corresponding confidence scores.

  • Publication number: 20200117961
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for processing a document. In an embodiment, a document processing system may receive a document. The document processing system may perform optical character recognition to obtain character information and positioning information for the characters. The document processing system may generate a down-sampled two-dimensional character grid for the document. The document processing system may apply a convolutional neural network to the character grid to obtain semantic meaning for the document. The convolutional neural network may produce a segmentation mask and bounding boxes to correspond to the document.
