Abstract
Fuzzy document state assignment includes loading into memory a raster image of a document and performing OCR upon a page of a document in order to produce parseable text. The parseable text is then segmented and normalized and an index is generated from the segmented and normalized text. Thereafter, a probability of a particular classification is computed based upon the detection in the index of a combination of words associated with a corresponding classification. Finally, the document is annotated with the particular classification.
Claims18
A method for fuzzy document state assignment comprising:
- loading into memory a raster image of a document;
- performing optical character recognition (OCR) upon a page of a document in order to produce parseable text;
- text segmenting and normalizing the parseable text;
- generating an index of the text segmented and normalized parseable text;
- computing a probability of a particular classification based upon detecting in the index a combination of words associated with a corresponding classification;
- and,
- annotating the document with the particular classification.
A data processing system adapted for fuzzy document state assignment, the system comprising:
- a host computing platform comprising one or more computers, each with memory and one or processing units including one or more processing cores;
- and,
- a fuzzy document state assignment module comprising computer program instructions enabled while executing in the memory of at least one of the processing units of the host computing platform to perform:
- loading into the memory a raster image of a document;
- performing optical character recognition (OCR) upon a page of a document in order to produce parseable text;
- text segmenting and normalizing the parseable text;
- generating an index of the text segmented and normalized parseable text;
- computing a probability of a particular classification based upon detecting in the index a combination of words associated with a corresponding classification;
- and,
- annotating the document with the particular classification.
A computing device comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored therein, the instructions being executable by at least one processing core of a processing unit to cause the processing unit to perform a method for fuzzy document state assignment, the method including:
- loading into memory a raster image of a document;
- performing optical character recognition (OCR) upon a page of a document in order to produce parseable text;
- text segmenting and normalizing the parseable text;
- generating an index of the text segmented and normalized parseable text;
- computing a probability of a particular classification based upon detecting in the index a combination of words associated with a corresponding classification;
- and,
- annotating the document with the particular classification.
