Representation Learning for Information Extraction from Form-like Documents (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Form-like documents like invoices, purchase orders, tax forms and insurance quotes are common in day-to-day business workflows, but current techniques for processing them largely still employ manual effort or brittle and error-prone heuristics for extraction. |
| Approach: | They propose an extraction system that uses knowledge of the types of the target fields to generate extraction candidates and a neural network architecture that learns a dense representation of each candidate based on neighboring words in the document. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system generates extraction candidates based on neighboring words in the document and is interpretable, as shown using loss cases. |
Towards Multi-Modal Text-Image Retrieval to improve Human Reading (2021.naacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In primary school, children's books, as well as in modern language learning apps, multi-modal learning strategies like illustrations of terms and phrases are used to support reading comprehension. |
| Approach: | They propose to use multi-modal transformers to train multi-dimensional models on text-image retrieval to support a user's reading comprehension of arbitrary text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs poorly because of the short and relatively simple textual data that the current models are trained with. |
