INFORMATION EXTRACTION FROM DOCUMENTS CONTAINING HANDWRITTEN TEXT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17809321 titled 'INFORMATION EXTRACTION FROM DOCUMENTS CONTAINING HANDWRITTEN TEXT

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a method, computer system, and computer program product for information extraction. It involves receiving a mixed-text document that contains both typed and handwritten text, including at least one key-value pair. The invention also includes receiving the location information of at least one key from the mixed-text document and detecting the handwritten text based on this location information.

  • The invention is a system that can extract information from mixed-text documents containing both typed and handwritten text.
  • It includes a handwriting detection model that can identify handwritten text within the document.
  • The system can also identify the location of specific keys within the document.
  • By combining the location information and handwriting detection, the system can accurately extract the handwritten text associated with each key-value pair.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in data entry tasks where information needs to be extracted from mixed-text documents.
  • It can be applied in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and legal, where handwritten forms or documents are still commonly used.
  • The system can automate the process of extracting information from mixed-text documents, saving time and reducing errors.

Problems Solved

  • Manual extraction of information from mixed-text documents can be time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Handwritten text is often difficult to interpret, leading to inaccuracies in data extraction.
  • This technology solves these problems by automating the extraction process and accurately identifying handwritten text.

Benefits

  • The system improves efficiency by automating the extraction of information from mixed-text documents.
  • It reduces errors by accurately detecting and extracting handwritten text.
  • The technology can be integrated into existing systems, enhancing their capabilities in handling mixed-text documents.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for information extraction is provided. The present invention may include receiving, by a handwriting detection model of an integrated system, a mixed-text document including a combination of typed text and handwritten text, where the received mixed-text document includes at least one key-value pair. The present invention may also include receiving, by the handwriting detection model of the integrated system, a first location information of at least one key from the at least one key-value pair in the received mixed-text document. The present invention may further include detecting, by the handwriting detection model of the integrated system, at least one handwritten text in the received mixed-text document based on the received first location information of the at least one key.
