  • Patent number: 11734939
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for vision-based cell structure recognition using hierarchical neural networks and cell boundaries to structure clustering are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes detecting a style of the given table using at least one style classification model; selecting, based at least in part on the detected style, a cell detection model appropriate for the detected style; detecting cells within the given table using the selected cell detection model; and outputting, to at least one user, information pertaining to the detected cells comprising image coordinates of one or more bounding boxes associated with the detected cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Xin Ru Wang, Douglas R. Burdick, Xinyi Zheng
  • Patent number: 11734576
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for cooperative neural networks with spatial containment constraints are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes dividing a processing task into multiple sub-tasks; training multiple independent neural networks, such that at least some of the multiple sub-tasks correspond to different ones of the multiple independent neural networks; defining, via implementing constraint-based domain knowledge related to the processing task in connection with the multiple independent neural networks, a constraint loss for a given one of the multiple sub-tasks, the constraint loss being dependent on output from at least one of the other multiple sub-tasks; and effecting re-training of at least a portion of the multiple independent neural networks by incorporating the constraint loss into at least one of the multiple independent neural networks.
