Text Classification Models for Form Entity Linking

Understand

Forms are a widespread type of template-based document used in a great variety of fields including, among others, administration, medicine, finance, or insurance.

• The automatic extraction of the information included in these documents is greatly demanded due to the increasing volume of forms that are generated in a daily basis.
• However, this is not a straightforward task when working with scanned forms because of the great diversity of templates with different location of form entities, and the quality of the scanned documents.
• In this context, there is a feature that is shared by all forms: they contain a collection of interlinked entities built as key-value (or label-value) pairs, together with other entities such as headers or images.
