Abstract
A document processing system and method are disclosed. In the method local scores are incrementally computed for document samples, based on local features extracted from the respective sample. A global score is estimated for the document based on the local scores currently computed, i.e., on fewer than all document samples. A confidence in a decision for the estimated global score is computed. The computed confidence is based on the local scores currently computed and, optionally, the number of samples used in computing the estimated global score. A classification decision, such as a categorization or retrieval decision for the document is output, based on the estimated score when the computed confidence in the decision reaches a threshold value.
