20210081662 | SCALABLE STRUCTURE LEARNING VIA CONTEXT-FREE RECURSIVE DOCUMENT DECOMPOSITION - An approach is provided in which the approach aggregates a set of pixel values from a bitmap image into a set of row sum values and a set of column sum values. The bitmap image is a pixelated representation of a document. The approach applies a localized Fourier transform to the set of row sum values and the set of column sum values to generate frequency representations of the set of row sum values and the set of frequency sum values. The approach decomposes the bitmap image into a set of image portions based on at least one separation location identified in the set of frequency representations, and sends the set of image portions to a text recognition system. | 2021-03-18 |

20210081664 | MULTI-STEP DOCUMENT INFORMATION EXTRACTION - Briefly, embodiments of a system, method, and article for receiving a document from a remote device and identifying items in the document. Various operations may be performed based on one or more dependencies of the identified items. For example, additional items may be identified in the document. One or more of the identified items may be parsed. A correspondence between the identified items and a second set of items may be determined. The identified items may be validated based on a set of rules. One or more of the identified items may be transmitted to the remote device in response to the performance of the various operations. | 2021-03-18 |
20210081665 | MEASURING SIMILARITY OF NUMERIC CONCEPT VALUES WITHIN A CORPUS - A method, computer system, and computer program product for measuring similarity of numeric concept values within a corpus are provided. The embodiment may include retrieving numerical values associated with a concept in a corpus. The embodiment may also include converting the numerical values to a standard unit. The embodiment may further include computing a distribution value of the converted numerical values. The embodiment may also include determining a tolerance value based on the distribution value, wherein the tolerance value is the maximum allowable distance between two numerical values. The embodiment may further include determining a distance function based on the determined tolerance value, wherein the distance function is defined by dividing a difference between two numerical values by the determined tolerance value. The embodiment may also include computing a similarity distance between the numerical values. | 2021-03-18 |
