  • Publication number: 20240143698
    Abstract: Techniques for automatic intelligent information extraction from an electronic document are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computerized method is disclosed comprising training a label prediction model to generate a set of label predictions, obtaining an electronic document, analyzing the electronic document and determining a set of features for each of a set of information items identified in the electronic document, obtaining model output from the label prediction model for each information item, the model output comprising, for a respective information item, a set of probabilities corresponding to a set of information classes, and generating an information extraction comprising a set of labels corresponding to the set of information items.

  • Patent number: 9177207
    Abstract: Software for supervised learning extracts a set of pixel-level features from each source image in collection of source images. Each of the source images is associated with a thumbnail created by an editor. The software also generates a collection of unique bounding boxes for each source image. And the software calculates a set of region-level features for each bounding box. Each region-level feature results from the aggregation of pixel values for one of the pixel-level features. The software learns a regression model, using the calculated region-level features and the thumbnail associated with the source image. Then the software chooses a thumbnail from a collection of unique bounding boxes in a new image, based on application of the regression model. The software uses a thumbnail received from an editor instead of the chosen thumbnail, if the chosen thumbnail is of insufficient quality as measured against a scoring threshold.
