Machine learning methods and systems for extracting entities from semi-structured enterprise documents

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for extracting entities from semi-structured enterprise documents. The method performed by a server system includes receiving an enterprise document in a semi-structured format. The method includes extracting document features from the enterprise document. The document features include structural, token-specific, and entity-specific features. Further, the method includes identifying candidate entities in the enterprise document based at least on a machine learning model which uses document features. The candidate entities include candidate tabular entities and candidate non-tabular entities. The method includes computing probability scores for the one or more tokens-corresponding to the candidate non-tabular entities and the candidate tabular entities, based at least on the machine learning model. The method includes extracting structured data from the enterprise document according to the candidate non-tabular and tabular entities based at least on the probability scores.
