Document Intelligence

Document intelligence focuses on automatically extracting information and understanding the content of documents, particularly visually rich ones like forms and invoices. Current research emphasizes multimodal approaches, integrating textual, visual, and layout information using architectures like transformers and graph neural networks, often pre-trained on large datasets to improve performance on tasks such as information extraction and question answering. This field is crucial for automating document processing across various sectors, boosting efficiency and enabling new applications in areas like business, law, and medicine. The development of standardized evaluation metrics and publicly available datasets is also a significant area of ongoing work.
