Patent number: 11704352Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores OCR and NLP algorithms. The processor receives an image of a physical document page and executes the OCR algorithm to convert the image into text. The processor identifies errors in the text, which are associated with noise in the image. The processor generates a feature vector that includes features obtained by executing the NLP algorithm on the text, and features associated with the identified errors in the text. The processor uses the feature vector to assign the image to a document category. Documents assigned to the document category share one or more characteristics, and the feature vector is associated with a probability greater than a threshold that the physical document associated with the image includes those characteristics. The processor then stores the image in a database as a page of an electronic document belonging to the assigned document category.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Van Nguyen, Sean Michael Byrne, Syed Talha, Aftab Khan, Beena Khushalani, Sharad K.
