Systems and methods for neuronal visual-linguistic data retrieval from an imaged document

1. A method for use in an expense management platform operable to perform content analysis of an imaged invoice document comprising at least one invoice, in an improved manner,

said expense management platform comprising:

an automatic invoice analyzer (AIA) comprising a dedicated invoice optical character recognition (OCR) engine, said automatic invoice analyzer (AIA) operable to perform automated analysis of the at least one invoice;

a machine learning engine comprising a knowledge repository; and

a neuronal visual-linguistic mechanism trained to perform visual-linguistic semantic analysis, wherein said neuronal visual-linguistic mechanism comprises a geometrically trained neuronal network,

said method comprising the steps of:

receiving, via a communication interface, the imaged invoice document;

pre-processing, by said automatic invoice analyzer (AIA), said at least one invoice;

extracting, by said dedicated invoice optical character recognition (OCR) engine, a set of OCR results associated with said at least one invoice;

generating, by said automatic invoice analyzer (AIA), an OCR-enhanced image of the at least one invoice;

applying, by said automatic invoice analyzer (AIA), linguistic semantic analysis geometrically to determine a semantic information of at least one element of the at least one invoice; and

producing, by said automatic invoice analyzer (AIA), one or more analysis results using said neuronal visual-linguistic mechanism;

wherein the step of applying further comprises:

creating an embedding model operable to generate an encoding vector to find an embedding that encodes a pair relationship of a word and a target neighbor;

training a network using the encoding vector; and

creating a working dataset based an initial dataset and further performing augmentation using synthetic image transformations and simulated noise to receive said working dataset.

2. An expense management platform operable to perform automatic data retrieval from an imaged invoice document, said expense management platform comprising:

an automatic invoice analyzer (AIA) operable to perform automated analysis of the imaged invoice document;

a machine learning engine comprising a knowledge repository, said machine learning engine operable to update the knowledge repository with data pertaining to said invoice imaged document; and

a neuronal visual-linguistic mechanism trained to perform visual-linguistic semantic analysis;

wherein said neuronal visual-linguistic mechanism comprises a geometrically trained neuronal network, such that said expense management platform is operable to produce one or more analysis results using said neuronal visual-linguistic mechanism to determine geometric-semantic information;

wherein said visual-linguistic mechanism comprises a full tagging sub-system operable to provide word matching; and

wherein said full tagging sub-system, comprises:

a Char2Vec network operable to generate at least one word-level embedding from an associated character level content and an associated geometric context;

a labeling network operable to generate a heat-map of at least one label probability using a base image overlaid with data of the at least one word-level embedding; and

an inverted-softmax linear classifier configured to determine a best candidate word to match the at least one label probability using said heat-map and a set of hand-crafted features.
