Document Information Extraction Task

A Document Information Extraction Task is an information extraction task that is a document analysis task that processes document sets to extract structured information from unstructured content.

• AKA: Information Extraction (IE) from Documents Task, IE from Documents Task.
• Context:
  • Task Input: Document Sets containing document items such as pdf documents, word documents, html documents, and scanned images.
    • Optional Input: Extraction Schemas, Extraction Rules, Extraction Templates.
  • Task Output: Structured Data in formats such as json format, xml format, database records, or csv format.
  • Task Performance Measure: Extraction Accuracy, Extraction Completeness, Extraction Speed, and Extraction F1-Score.
  • ...
  • It can be solved by IE from Documents Systems that implement IE from documents algorithms.
  • It can typically extract Document Elements including text fields, table data, metadata, and embedded objects.
  • It can typically handle Document Complexity from single-page documents to multi-page documents.
  • It can typically apply Extraction Methods such as pattern matching, natural language processing, or machine learning.
  • It can typically validate Extraction Results through schema validation or business rules.
  • It can typically process Document Batches for large-scale extraction.
  • ...
  • It can often require Document Preprocessing such as ocr processing or format conversion.
  • It can often support Incremental Extraction for document updates.
  • It can often provide Extraction Confidence Scores for quality assessment.
  • It can often enable Custom Field Extraction for domain-specific requirements.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Document Extraction Task to being a Complex Document Extraction Task, depending on its extraction requirement complexity.
  • It can range from being a Manual Document Extraction Task to being an Automated Document Extraction Task, depending on its automation level.
  • It can range from being an IE from Simple Documents to being an IE from Multimedia Documents, depending on its document content complexity.
  • It can range from being an IE from Image Documents to being an IE from Document Metadata, depending on its document extraction target type.
  • ...
  • It can be performed by Document Extraction Systems through systematic processing.
  • It can be solved by IE from Documents Systems implementing IE from documents algorithms.
  • It can be implemented by Document Extraction Agents using extraction algorithms.
  • It can utilize Schema-Based Document Extraction for structured approach.
  • It can be served by Document Extraction Servers through network interfaces.

• Example(s):
  • Document Extraction Task Domains, such as:
    • Financial Document Extraction Tasks, such as:
      • Invoice Extraction Task for billing information extraction.
      • Bank Statement Extraction Task for transaction data extraction.
      • Tax Form Extraction Task for tax information extraction.
      • Extracting Information from Receipt Images for purchase data extraction.
    • Legal Document Extraction Tasks, such as:
      • Contract Extraction Task for contract term extraction.
      • Patent Document Extraction Task for patent claim extraction.
    • Medical Document Extraction Tasks, such as:
      • Medical Record Extraction Task for patient data extraction.
      • Lab Report Extraction Task for test result extraction.
      • Extracting Information from Biomedical Articles for research data extraction.
    • Web Document Extraction Tasks, such as:
      • Extracting Information from Webpages for web content extraction.
      • Product Information Extraction Task for e-commerce data extraction.
  • Document Extraction Task Complexity Levels, such as:
    • Form-Based Document Extraction Task for structured form processing.
    • Free-Text Document Extraction Task for unstructured text processing.
    • Mixed-Format Document Extraction Task for hybrid document processing.
  • Document Extraction Task by Source Types, such as:
    • IE from Text for textual content extraction.
    • IE from Tables for tabular data extraction.
    • IE from Image Documents for visual content extraction.
    • IE from Document Metadata for citation network extraction.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Information Retrieval, which finds relevant documents rather than extracting structured data from them.
  • Document Classification Task, which categorizes documents rather than extracting structured data.
  • Document Summarization Task, which creates summarys rather than extracting specific fields.
  • Document Translation Task, which converts languages rather than extracting information.
