Information Extraction from Scanned Invoice Images using Text Analysis and Layout Features
Signal Processing: Image Communication manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Abstract While storing invoice content as metadata comparison of 9 AC per manually processed invoice and to avoid paper document processing may be the future 2 AC per automated processing of one invoice based on trend, almost all of daily issued invoices are still surveys in 2004 and 2003 respectively. A 2016 report by printed on paper or generated in digital formats such the Institute of Finance and Management [2] suggested as PDFs. In this paper, we introduce the OCRMiner that the average cost to process an invoice was $12.90. The system on Scanned Receipt OCR and Information Extraction is designed to process the document in a similar way a (SROIE) at ICDAR 2019 [3] or the Mobile-Captured human reader uses, i.e. to employ different layout and Image Document Recognition for Vietnamese Receipts text attributes in a coordinated decision. Still, annotated benchmark invoice consists of a set of interconnected modules that start datasets are not generally available due to confidential with (possibly erroneous) character-based output from information, and the published papers do not offer a standard OCR system and allow to apply different detailed dataset descriptions and error analyses of the techniques and to expand the extracted knowledge at content. Moreover, although receipts and invoices have each step. Using an open source OCR, the system is some common attributes, their analyses differ vastly able to recover the invoice data in 90% for English and due to complex graphical layouts and richer content in 88% for the Czech set. In 2006, Lewis et al. [6] published the IIT 1 Introduction Complex Document Information Processing Test Collection (IIT-CDIP) based on the Legacy Tobacco Documents Automatic invoice processing systems gain significant Library, containing roughly 40 millions scanned interest of large companies who deal with enormous pages for evaluation of document information processing numbers of invoices each day, due to not only their tasks.
Enriching Customer Service Using Sentiment Analysis - DataScienceCentral.com
As this century progresses, businesses are discovering that the most incredible way to gain the best customer service is to know them deeply. With AI advancing at an exponential rate, it's become possible for companies to use artificial intelligence (AI) to gain valuable insight into their customers. In particular, advances in artificial intelligence are leading to increased efficiency in customer service throughout different industry vertices. Machine learning and AI-based interactive voice response systems have created a new paradigm for what customers and customer service agents can expect from these technologies. When applied correctly, artificial intelligence will enhance the customer experience in various ways, from identifying their interests through sentiment analysis to gathering data about their preferences. AI is the production and display of intelligence by computers and machines instead of humans.
Richer childhood friends boost future income, Facebook data shows
Paris – An analysis of 21 billion Facebook friendships shows that children from poorer homes are likely to earn more later in life if they grow up in areas where they can become friends with wealthier children. It has long been believed that having rich friends can help children rise up out of poverty, but previous research has had small sample sizes or limited data, according to two studies published in the journal Nature on Monday.

Introduction to the New Key-Value Pair Data Extractor for the OCR Engine
Key-value pair extraction is at the heart of document processing. To understand how it works and what it brings, it's necessary to explain the concepts behind the words. We will then see why it's so important for companies and organizations of all industries. KVPs are two related data items, a key, and a value. The key defines the data and is fixed, and the value is variable and describes the key.

Towards a Sentiment-Aware Conversational Agent
Dias, Isabel, Rei, Ricardo, Pereira, Patrícia, Coheur, Luisa
In this paper, we propose an end-to-end sentiment-aware conversational agent based on two models: a reply sentiment prediction model, which leverages the context of the dialogue to predict an appropriate sentiment for the agent to express in its reply; and a text generation model, which is conditioned on the predicted sentiment and the context of the dialogue, to produce a reply that is both context and sentiment appropriate. Additionally, we propose to use a sentiment classification model to evaluate the sentiment expressed by the agent during the development of the model. This allows us to evaluate the agent in an automatic way. Both automatic and human evaluation results show that explicitly guiding the text generation model with a pre-defined set of sentences leads to clear improvements, both regarding the expressed sentiment and the quality of the generated text.
Counterfactual Reasoning for Out-of-distribution Multimodal Sentiment Analysis
Sun, Teng, Wang, Wenjie, Jing, Liqiang, Cui, Yiran, Song, Xuemeng, Nie, Liqiang
Existing studies on multimodal sentiment analysis heavily rely on textual modality and unavoidably induce the spurious correlations between textual words and sentiment labels. This greatly hinders the model generalization ability. To address this problem, we define the task of out-of-distribution (OOD) multimodal sentiment analysis. This task aims to estimate and mitigate the bad effect of textual modality for strong OOD generalization. To this end, we embrace causal inference, which inspects the causal relationships via a causal graph. From the graph, we find that the spurious correlations are attributed to the direct effect of textual modality on the model prediction while the indirect one is more reliable by considering multimodal semantics. Inspired by this, we devise a model-agnostic counterfactual framework for multimodal sentiment analysis, which captures the direct effect of textual modality via an extra text model and estimates the indirect one by a multimodal model. During the inference, we first estimate the direct effect by the counterfactual inference, and then subtract it from the total effect of all modalities to obtain the indirect effect for reliable prediction. Extensive experiments show the superior effectiveness and generalization ability of our proposed framework.
An Exploratory Study of Tweets about the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant: Insights from Sentiment Analysis, Language Interpretation, Source Tracking, Type Classification, and Embedded URL Detection
Thakur, Nirmalya, Han, Chia Y.
This paper presents the findings of an exploratory study on the continuously generating Big Data on Twitter related to the sharing of information, news, views, opinions, ideas, feedback, and experiences about the COVID-19 pandemic, with a specific focus on the Omicron variant, which is the globally dominant variant of SARS-CoV-2 at this time. A total of 12028 tweets about the Omicron variant were studied, and the specific characteristics of tweets that were analyzed include - sentiment, language, source, type, and embedded URLs. The findings of this study are manifold. First, from sentiment analysis, it was observed that 50.5% of tweets had a neutral emotion. The other emotions - bad, good, terrible, and great were found in 15.6%, 14.0%, 12.5%, and 7.5% of the tweets, respectively. Second, the findings of language interpretation showed that 65.9% of the tweets were posted in English. It was followed by Spanish, French, Italian, and other languages. Third, the findings from source tracking showed that Twitter for Android was associated with 35.2% of tweets. It was followed by Twitter Web App, Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for iPad, and other sources. Fourth, studying the type of tweets revealed that retweets accounted for 60.8% of the tweets, it was followed by original tweets and replies that accounted for 19.8% and 19.4% of the tweets, respectively. Fifth, in terms of embedded URL analysis, the most common domain embedded in the tweets was found to be twitter.com, which was followed by biorxiv.org, nature.com, and other domains. Finally, to support similar research in this field, we have developed a Twitter dataset that comprises more than 500,000 tweets about the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant since the first detected case of this variant on November 24, 2021.
Emotion analysis and detection during COVID-19
Sosea, Tiberiu, Pham, Chau, Tekle, Alexander, Caragea, Cornelia, Li, Junyi Jessy
Crises such as natural disasters, global pandemics, and social unrest continuously threaten our world and emotionally affect millions of people worldwide in distinct ways. Understanding emotions that people express during large-scale crises helps inform policy makers and first responders about the emotional states of the population as well as provide emotional support to those who need such support. We present CovidEmo, ~3K English tweets labeled with emotions and temporally distributed across 18 months. Our analyses reveal the emotional toll caused by COVID-19, and changes of the social narrative and associated emotions over time. Motivated by the time-sensitive nature of crises and the cost of large-scale annotation efforts, we examine how well large pre-trained language models generalize across domains and timeline in the task of perceived emotion prediction in the context of COVID-19. Our analyses suggest that cross-domain information transfers occur, yet there are still significant gaps. We propose semi-supervised learning as a way to bridge this gap, obtaining significantly better performance using unlabeled data from the target domain.
