System and method of electronically classifying transportation documents
Computer-implemented methods and systems for classifying documents and freight-truck-transaction documents are described. A method may comprise receiving document data corresponding to a document, at a document classification device, wherein the document data comprises text data. The method may further comprise detecting, at the document classification device, an existence of, or an absence of, one or more predetermined text fields in the document based upon, at least in part, the document data. The method may additionally comprise assigning, at the document classification device, a value to the one or more predetermined text fields based upon, at least in part, the existence of, or the absence of, the one or more predetermined text fields in the document. The method may also comprise determining, at the document classification device, a score for the document based upon, at least in part, values assigned to the one or more predetermined text fields.
1. A computer-implemented method for classifying documents, the method comprising:
receiving document data corresponding to a document, at a document classification device, wherein the document data comprises text data;
detecting, at the document classification device, based on the document data received, an existence of, or an absence of, one or more predetermined text fields in the document based upon, at least in part, the document data;
assigning, at the document classification device, a value to the one or more predetermined text fields based upon, at least in part, the existence of, or the absence of, the one or more predetermined text fields in the document;
determining, at the document classification device, a score for the document based upon, at least in part, values assigned to the one or more predetermined text fields; and
determining, at the document classification device, whether the document is classifiable based upon, at least in part, the score for the document wherein the score is further based on a weighted scoring system, and the weighted scoring system is based upon, at least in part, at least one of: one or more keywords, keyword placements, positive phrases, and negative phrases of the document.
2. A computer-implemented method for classifying documents, the method comprising:
receiving document data corresponding to a document, at a document classification device, wherein the document data comprises text data;
detecting, at the document classification device, based on the document data received, an existence of, or an absence of, one or more predetermined text fields in the document based upon, at least in part, the document data;
assigning, at the document classification device, a value to the one or more predetermined text fields based upon, at least in part, the existence of, or the absence of, the one or more predetermined text fields in the document;
determining, at the document classification device, a score for the document based upon, at least in part, values assigned to the one or more predetermined text fields; and
determining, at the document classification device, whether the document is classifiable based upon, at least in part, the score for the document;
applying a weighted classification mechanism by:
testing the document data for predetermined criteria wherein each criterion is assigned a weight;
scoring the document based upon a criterion being met; and
classifying the document based on the score;
comparing the score to scores of other documents; and
processing the scores to produce metascores corresponding to an analysis of document data of multiple documents.
3. A computer-implemented method for classifying documents, the method comprising:
receiving document data corresponding to a document, at a document classification device, wherein the document data comprises text data;
detecting, at the document classification device, based on the document data received, an existence of, or an absence of, one or more predetermined text fields in the document based upon, at least in part, the document data;
assigning, at the document classification device, a value to the one or more predetermined text fields based upon, at least in part, the existence of, or the absence of, the one or more predetermined text fields in the document;
determining, at the document classification device, a score for the document based upon, at least in part, values assigned to the one or more predetermined text fields; and
determining, at the document classification device, whether the document is classifiable based upon, at least in part, the score for the document; and
creating metarules based upon scoring and classifying multiple documents, wherein the metarules increase a degree of confidence under which documents are classified and improve classification accuracy.
