Model-independent data extractor confidence value prediction machine learned model

Abstract

In an example embodiment, a confidence score is computed for a predicted label (from a first model) for information extracted from a document. The confidence score is computed using a machine learned model different than the first model which is based on a Sliding-Window method. The Sliding-Window method may be based on convolutional neural networks classification, using sliding windows. It receives as input (1) the string of extracted information from an independent previous information extracted step (the 'input text'), (2) the string's predicted class label, (3) the string's coordinate location in the document, and (4) the text of the document (for additional context information). The Sliding-Window method's task is to predict the confidence score to determine the correctness of the predicted label for the information.
