Abstract
A classifier receives a digital scan of a document and converts the content of the document in the digital scan from an image into text. The classifier analyzes the text to determine one or more predicted roles of one or more signatories, each predicted role determined based on one or more signature elements in the content of the document executed by the one or more signatories. The classifier evaluates each of the one or more predicted roles in view of a plurality of expected signatory role characteristics of a plurality of categories of documents of a transaction to select a particular category associated with the document from among the plurality of categories. The classifier classifies the document within the transaction as a particular logical type identified by the particular category from among a plurality of logical types for the transaction.
