Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face inefficiencies in extracting and validating key-value pairs from unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data, particularly in large enterprises, as they lack effective methods to capture relationships between extracted data and provide inadequate interfaces for validating automatically generated understandings of these relationships.

Innovation Solution

A data extraction system that uses machine learning models to identify and extract semantically related sets of values, providing an interactive user interface for visual representation in a tabular format, with color coding for confidence levels and allowing users to validate and correct predictions, thereby refining the model for improved accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated labeling systems are used to extract and label key-value pairs from documents, then productivity is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to lack of relationship validation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata extraction speedVSAvoidlabeling accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where extracted key-value pairs and their relationships are validated against the document context, and correction feedback is used to refine the automated labeling model iteratively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

An interactive user interface acts as an intermediary between the automated extraction system and the final validated output, allowing users to review, validate, and correct extracted data while maintaining the efficiency of automated processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive validation interfaces are provided for user review of extracted data, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata validation accuracyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The validation interface is segmented into modular components that handle different aspects of data validation independently, making the complex validation process manageable and maintainable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service capabilities where the automated extraction tool performs initial validation and prepares data for review, reducing the burden on users and simplifying the interface requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If manual labeling is performed for each extracted value to ensure accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelabeling accuracyVSAvoidvalidation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of requiring complete manual validation of all extracted data, the system applies partial manual review only to low-confidence extractions while accepting high-confidence extractions automatically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts validation parameters such as confidence thresholds based on document type, extraction confidence scores, and user preferences to optimize the balance between accuracy and time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Techniques are disclosed to provide an interactive visual representation of semantically related extracted data. In various embodiments, a plurality of data entities are extracted from a file, each entity comprising a key-value pair. One or more sets of related entities, each set comprising an occurrence of a defined repeating type of entity set, are identified among the plurality of data entities. Data associating the one or more sets of related entities with the file and the defined repeating type of entity set are stored.
