Devices and Methods for Enhancing Data Extraction from Images

A device for enhancing data extraction from images, the system comprising:

• an imager configured to capture an image including a plurality of character strings that each correspond to a respective unit;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions thereon, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive the image from the imager,
• identify, by execution of an optical character recognition (OCR) model, each of the plurality of character strings in the image,
• link, by execution of a trained entity linking model, a portion of the plurality of character strings into one or more sets of linked character strings, wherein each character string included in a respective set of linked character strings corresponds to an identical respective unit,
• generate a structured object using the one or more sets of linked character strings, and
• cause a user interface to display the structured object for viewing by a user.

A tangible machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:

• receive an image including a plurality of character strings that each correspond to a respective unit;
• identify, by execution of an optical character recognition (OCR) model, each of the plurality of character strings in the image;
• link, by execution of a trained entity linking model, a portion of the plurality of character strings into one or more sets of linked character strings, wherein each character string included in a respective set of linked character strings corresponds to an identical respective unit;
• generate a structured object using the one or more sets of linked character strings;
• and
• cause a user computing device to display the structured object for viewing by a user.
