An electronic device identifier mapping and resolution system are disclosed which may be used to analyze various device identifiers associated with an online event initiated by a particular device in applying a matching algorithm to determine a unique device identifier and/or device profile for the device. Device identifiers provided from disparate sources (such as web browser cookies, network IP addresses, device-specific identifiers, application-specific identifiers, custom identifiers, probabilistic identifiers, etc.), including both deterministic and/or probabilistic identifiers, may be analyzed according to the matching algorithm to determine a device identifier associated with the device. Matching algorithms may be customized and configured to a high degree of complexity for respective entities, such as to analyze disparate device identifiers according to a variety of identifier comparison functions and matching tiers. Matching algorithms may include conditional requirements that streamline execution of such algorithms, e.g., which may reduce processor load and increase execution time, such as conditional requirements that bypass portions of the matching algorithm based on particular identifiers associated with the online event that are initially analyzed.

Data structures for intelligently resolving deterministic and probabilistic device identifiers to device profiles and/or groups

A computer system and computerized method that groups documents with similar image layout together. A document similarity metric based on locally connected subgraphs is employed. Region adjacency graphs are generated from word segments extracted from document images. Fuzzy attributed graph isomorphism is performed on subgraphs checking node and edge attribute similarity. Document similarity is then calculated on a normalized score between matching subgraphs of different documents. Unsupervised clustering of document layouts is performed to generate clusters of documents with similar structure.

Region adjacent subgraph isomorphism for layout clustering in document images

A computerized method and system for adding distortions to a computer-generated image of a document stored in an image file. An original computer-generated image file is selected and is processed to generate one or more distorted image files for each original computer-generated image file by selecting one or more augmentation modules from a set of augmentation modules to form an augmentation sub-system. The original computer-generated image file is processed with the augmentation sub-system to generate an augmented image file by altering the original computer-generated image file to add distortions that simulate distortions introduced during scanning of a paper-based representation of a document represented in the original computer-generated image file.

Synthetic augmentation of document images

A computer implemented method and system for correcting error produced by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of text contained in an image encoded document. An error model representing frequency and type of errors produced by Optical Character Recognition Engine is generated. An OCR character string generated by OCR is retrieved. A user-defined pattern of a plurality of character strings is retrieved, where each character string represents a possible correct representation of characters in the OCR character string. The OCR character string is compared to each of the above generated character strings and a 'likelihood score' is calculated based on the information from the error model. The character string with the highest 'likelihood score' is presumed to be the corrected version of the OCR character string.

Auto-correction of pattern defined strings

Image documents that have a visually perceptible geometric structure and a plurality of visually perceptible key-value pairs are grouped. The image documents are processed to generate a corresponding textually encoded document. The textually encoded documents are each assigned into one of a plurality of layout groups, wherein all textually encoded documents in a particular layout group share a visually perceptible layout that is substantially similar. Triplets are selected from the layout groups, where two documents are from the same layout group and one document is from a different layout group. The triplets are processed with a convolutional neural network to generate a trained neural network that may be used to classify documents in a production environment such that a template designed on one image document in a group permits an extraction engine to extract all relevant fields on all image documents within the group.

Deep learning based document image embeddings for layout classification and retrieval

A system and method of automatically learning new keywords in a document image based on context such as when a never before seen keyword exists surrounded by other key-value pairs. A machine learning based approach leverages subword embeddings and two-dimensional geometric contexts in a gradient boosted trees classifier. Keys may be composed of multi-word strings or single-word strings.
